The Prayer Thread
Hello 👋
Let me start by saying I know religion has played a negative role in some peoples lives. If thats you, this thread may not be a good fit for you, although you may want to involve yourself to explore your feelings a little more. I just ask that you do so respectfully - all are welcome.
I often notice comments around faith, God and prayers in the daily check ins, and I wonder if theres a need for a prayer thread where people can come together and seek comfort in a quiet corner of 7 cups. So here goes ...... a brand spanking new thread for all things prayer related.
I confess Im not the most devout of Christians, so please dont look to me to find the right words all the time. But if you just want to sit a while, connect with God, and share that need with another human being, Im here to sit with you. I hope others will add to this thread and it becomes a place for mutual support.
And as for other faiths, oh gosh. Im a complete ignoramus. But I hope this can be an inclusive and respectful thread, so please dont feel excluded, whatever your beliefs ❤️
All other things being equal Id be better off dead 💀
@hollowman84 - Good thing that all other things are not equal then! We would miss you, 84man!

Sending my prayers to all suffering wholeheartedly alone. And no. I'm not praying wholeheartedly. I mean their suffering wholeheartedly. No one will ever feel it. Ever.
@arrowheart
It is a good prayer. One I have prayed myself in the past when I used to pray, one that I feel many others have prayed as well. Its such a heartache to think one suffers in vain, that no one will ever know of their pain.. as if the lack of acknowledgement is the same as not having suffered at all. But it is not. I agree with you that this type of suffering has occurred and will continue to occur throughout time.
The only thought Id like to add to this is this - it is my hope that God knows all things. God will know the suffering of these poor souls and God is many things as well as someone.
Maybe he hears our prayers, knows our plights. It is said that he does know us in this way, the very hairs on our head, whether we eat or lie down, whether we rise or fall, it is said his love remains with us still.
Hard to imagine. But maybe its real in some way.
Please pray for a good friend of mine who is having issues with visiting his own child. Its breaking his heart and I need prays and positive vibes to help him.
Please pray for me to get a transfer at my job. It will give me more hours which will help me provide for my family. Thank you.
I feel greedy but I have three prayer requests.
1. Help my friend keep decent custody of his son, ive never met a father so emotional, mentally and physically in his son's life. (I also ask for god to keep him in good health, he has a stressful semester coming up. I also hope for us to find time together.)
2. I ask for encouragement to sent out my books and get a publishing contract. (Constantly have the motivation, focus and energy to keep writing.)
3. That my family finds a better place to live.
@Rebekahwriter13 that doesn't sound selfish to me.
@BlueBetta thank you
My friend is injured in a bad way. If you can pray for them to get better fast and well I should be grateful.

Prayers for your friend
These prayers for for my friends. . .
I have a really good friend who is struggling to find work, he barely makes enough. He is taking care of his mom who just found out that has intestial cancer, but not sure which stage she is in yet. He also had a girlfriend 800 miles away, they have been together 2 years and haven't gotten to meet. (Pray for his mom, they get money in, and that he can see his girl.) He is amazing friend and I just want to see him happy.
I have another good friend who is having problems with his house (stock pipe broke and he needs to get constractors), he is having issues with his ex and their kid, and for his health as stress makes it worsts

sorry everyone , please don't judge me if you happen to read my profile ..😭
Hello everyone! Wow, it has been a long time since we've used this thread. I hope someone and/or some of you who have posted before will see my post here because I could really use some prayers.
I think I may have found my new companion pet - dog! I lost my beautiful SFO (Buddy) in mid-September 2019. He was an amazing companion pet! He did his job very well indeed. Usually his 'job' was mostly "Mom, you okay?" or "Mom, can I help?" or "Mom, you're falling asleep with me on the floor now? Oh, okay."
I've been feeling lots of grief, anxiety, and general unrest these last few months. Recently I began to look for a new dog, pictures and mini-bios online kind of thing. In this last week, I think I may have found one! I've read over her profile page about 500 times. I went to visit/meet her on Thursday (yup, yesterday). She is some smaller than SFO and female (lol, that's very different). The staff&vet think she is a German shepherd and Border collie mix and about 1 year, 10 months old (I hope I might find out her actual birth date).
I am excited and nervous/anxious at the same time. She seemed to warm up to me very quickly upon coming in to the small room where I met her. She has some issues - possible behavior issues too - to work on and help her know she is safe and which things she may or may not chew on in her anxiety. (Good things for me to work on too, eh?)
Will you pray with me, guys? I think she may be the one for me - and that is kind of scary feeling. Her adoption fee is high but not sky-high; so that part should be okay. I guess I'm scared that she may be just what I need (and want) and that I may be just what she needs. That sounds weird when I type it out/read it, but I think that is where I am just now.
So, yes. Prayers please. That the timing works out and that if someone(s) else adopts her this weekend then that is okay and other stuff. Lots of anxiety for me and I think lots of anxiety for the beautiful canine who might become mine!

I really don't like asking for prayers, but please I need a better place for my family and i.
My brother is amputee and need a better place for him to move around. With good wifi as he enjoys Netflix and gaming
I would like a cat for my anxiety.
I need my computer to work as the fan broke and it overheats.
