Requesting prayer


Posted: Jul 17, 2017

Maybe it's just been a particularly long, bad day, but I feel pushed to the edge today.  The past 8 years have been increasingly difficult regarding family relationships, finances, many deaths in the family, job issues, and my health.  I know in the darkest of times our faith can really grow as we realize that it is the Lord who always sustains us.  Today brought a few major disappointments with it regarding work and transportation situations for both my husband and me.  We've been praying and looking forward to some light at the end of the tunnel and thought it was about to happen, but the answers were again "no."  Just feel so sad and discouraged and tired.  Thanks for praying.  

;

You're in my prayers. I hope that light turns up soon and - you're granted peace in the meantime. nm

I can identify with a lot of what has been happening to you in your life - and it is difficult to process so many difficult situations coming from so many different directions. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and even kind of numb by all of it, but God is with us and knows what we need already before we even ask Him. I'm going to keep thanking Him for his blessings, past, present, and future...

DEAR GOD:
I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards;
I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better;
I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me;
I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears;
I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves;
I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet;
I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job;
I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief;
I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed;
I am thanking you right now.
I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

Requesting Prayer After A FallMar 13, 2015
I posted a few days ago on the Health Board. I had a very bad fall down icy cement steps last Friday. My ankle was terribly swollen, and I have a bad abrasion on the top of my foot.

The wound on the top of my foot was looking much better and beginning to dry out. Now tonight it looks like it may be infected again ...

My financial situation is a horrible joke.  I am currently working full-time as an MT (thank God), but making less than 20 hours of pay a week.  My husband has been out of work for the better part of the last 5 years and has run out of unemployment.  It's a miracle that my utilities are still on (I think the companies forgot to shut us off).  It seems like something else breaks every week, and there is no money for any kind of repairs.  I know there are so many peop ...

Have worked at this local company for the past 7 years - I have put in long hours and for the last 5 was hired exclusively to be the only transcriptionist for this busy PT/OT/ST rehab clinic.  I had 4-5 therapists I typed for and only one of those ever got their dictation to me daily.  The others would "dump" on me a week or more of work and expect me to have it done in a timely fashion.  There was no one to cover for me when I took a day off, so for the last 5-6 years I have not ...

Please pray for me. I have been struggling with insomnia for years, and it is really taking a toll on me. I have tried all different medications for sleep which leave me feeling so ill the next day that I can't function at all. I have tried counseling and naturopathic remedies, exercise, etc. I still struggle with sleep and it is difficult to lead a normal life because I am so exhausted all of the time. I have anxiety also so I am sure these are related. Anyway, I know there are worse ...

Prayer For DirectionJul 12, 2012
Good morning, I really need prayer.  I've been an MT for about 20 years.  Most of it was spent transcribing in-house, with a fair amount of experience with ESL dictators. My speciality was always operative notes, and I miss them!  I went on to work for Spheris for one year and MedQuist for three before we lost our home. I've been working for a private psych hospital for nearly 5 years.  It's been a good job, except for feeling like I'm on a different plan ...
