Prayers Request Thread!
We all face moments of struggle and uncertainty at some point in our life journey. It can help to know that there are people out there thinking about you and rooting for you.
This thread is a dedicated space for prayer requests and support. Whether you're going through a personal crisis, facing health concerns, or other difficulties, you can ask for an empathetic ear, offer prayers, or just comforting words. If you'd like a specific kind of support, please do mention it with your share. You can say as much or as little as you like about your situation. (It can be as simple as "please pray for x", "please send me strength/blessings/vibes", "please keep me in your thoughts", "send beams" etc!)
For those who are willing, please consider extending your support to fellow members. Your compassion and words of encouragement can provide solace and strength to someone in need. Let's come together as a community to lift each other up in times of hardship.

Yes please Jesus Christ - let me (my tongue) sing this new song.
Delightful Prayer
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
In this psalm, many prayers are answered, yet the word prayer is never mentioned. You are told to "commit," to "wait," to "delight in" the Lord, and then He will give you "the desires of your heart." But the word pray is nowhere to be found.
How many things do you actually "delight in"-not just enjoy, but delight in? There probably aren't many. And how many other things must you avoid delighting in if you are truly to delight in the Lord?
All of them. Psalm 37 treats this process of shedding all delights other than Yahweh Himself as the process of prayer. How do you know? Because it's the commitment to the Lord, the delighting in, the waiting for, that is answered.
Prayer is the devotion to Jesus that strengthens your reborn spirit. Prayer is the expression of desire for God to work His will.
The child's eyes are on his Father. He loves what his Father loves, delights in what his Father delights in. That process is prayer.
God, help me to delight myself in You first and foremost.
Let my heart be enraptured by Your presence. Let all my other desires be fleeting by comparison. Amen

Light For Your Path
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.-Proverbs 4:18
Your way may seem unclear at times, but if you stay close to God, living in His presence, you'll share in His Spirit and His holiness.
You may not feel all that enlightened or righteous much of the time, but as long as you're seeking the Lord and doing your best to obey Him, He will hear your prayers, guide you, and protect you.
Then, slowly but surely, just as the initial glow in the sky at dawn gives way to the full light of day, the sun will rise and God's blessing will be made manifest in your life. It may take awhile, and you may have to walk cautiously at first, feeling your way in semi darkness. But God has promised to be with you, so He will be.
The Bible says that Jesus, God's Son is "the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world" (John 1:9).
Walk in His truth and you won't be in darkness.
Dear Father, please lead me in the way I should go.
Make it clear that You're with me by giving light to my path.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
