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 ❤️
I hope this thread continues to grow and offer support and Light to those who wander here.
Love and thanks. 💜
God Is Love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
1 John: 7 - 12

@brightsmile18
Thank you Lord!!
I hurt my friend today. I didn't mean to. I got lost in my own pain and didn't see how my pain was hurting them. Can God love someone like me? A lost confused mess? A person who does things that hurts others? A person who makes so many mistakes? A transgender man? Or am I beyond that love? Too far gone?
I'm seriously asking. I'm asking here because I feel like you all might know. It's ok if the answer is no, God can't love you.
@practicalIdeal2007 --- I think that God specializes in loving those who feel lost, confused, messy, and have many questions. So, practicalIdeal, yes God loves you! Yes. And He always will love you! No matter what. His love, his grace, his offer of forgiveness continues and continues after that!
One of your comments made me think of this song. I'm not sure where you are or if you can get to the link here, but the video is on YouTube.

Be encouraged, friend. God will never leave you. He will NEVER STOP loving you. No matter what! <3 Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370 you are so truly we are perfect God made us all,and loves us no matter what.
@sunnyKitten6915 thank you for agreeing with me, for God we are all prefect
@sunnyKitten6915
Yes!!
@cyanPlatypus6370
Platy, thank you so much. I am not familiar with that song, but the words I can almost feel them. I looked up the lyrics to read them. I really identify with the first part:
I have loved you from the start
I have seen your hurting heart
And you feel so lonely, but you keep on hiding
'Cause you feel so guilty for what you've done, but
There's no distance too far, that I can't reach you
There's no place that's so dark, that I can't find you
Hurt and hiding. Afraid that people will see who I am, what I am. Afraid that I am unloveable because of where I've been. I want so much to believe that God can or does love me even still. Thank you.
@cyanPlatypus6370

@GuardianAngel77
@practicalIdeal2007 oh, He loves you! He has loved you with an everlasting love.
His mercies are new every morning. There is nothing you can do or not do that can change His mind about you. He loves you, He loves you, He loves you.
He says it Himself. He says His promisses are Yes and Amen and He cannot lie.
Relax, He came to save and restore. Because you are worth everything to Him.
In case you are wondering how I know? He loves me too and I am just as messed up as you are.

@practicalIdeal2007
God is love. Anything else you hear telling you that God could not love you is a liar! Jesus came for people like you, everyone is a sinner so Jesus came to save all of us. Choose not to believe in those lies that tells you, your unlovable.
@practicalIdeal2007
💜 hi there just wanted to add GOD DEFINTELY LOVES YOU my friend. There is indeed hope for you and everyone
@practicalIdeal2007 I am sorry how you feel.sometimes we all feel terrible,for whatever the reason,please remember God bless you,us all he forgives us all.but can you forgive yourself? You need try to forgive yourself,nobody is perfect,God made and love us for what we are too.no matter what we do,he is allway there and we can all ways depend court on him too.and all ways pray for him to help,allway by our sides.please never forget that.he loves us all.never never forget that.
@sunnyKitten6915
I cannot forgive me. The things I've done. The mistakes I've made. People have told me some awful things about myself today and I can't help but believe that some of it is true. How could anyone forgive me?
I want to believe there is a loving caring God to wipe away my tears. Here I sit alone, broken and unsure of what to do or where to go.
@DeborahUK
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
@Djos my favorite verses from the bible.
@Djos
Amen Amen!!
@GuardianAngel77 si djos
@sunnyKitten6915
Thank you!! 😅😅
Two years ago, I had abandoned God and gave up on my life. Well, you can guess how that turned out, everything fell apart because I was trying to live my life without his help and guidance. But now that I am trying to get back on track with my life, my past mistakes and regrets keep tying me down. Ultimately, I'm at the lowest point in my life, ridden with anxiety and fear of being worthless. I've disappointed my parents, neglected my self care, and it seems like the pain will never end and that I'll never measure up. Please pray for me friends, so that I can regain hope and courage, and that I can lift myself out of this never ending hole that I seem to be in.
@lostandmisguided18
Lord Jesus help lostandmissguided18.
Help lost to stay with you. Lord lead and guide lost they way you want lost to go. Let lost grow with you Lord. Make lost stronger in you. I ask this in your mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!
Amen Amen!!
@lostandmisguided18
You may say that you have abandoned God, but he will never abandon you
@Djos
Amen Amen!! 😊😊😊😊!!
@Djos Amen!!
@Djos

@lostandmisguided18
Just prayed for you. Keepig on seeking, asking, and knocking of the door, one day your breakthrough will come. But its always on God's Timing.
@Silentwinds
Yes that's true!! I God's Time!! 😊😊😊!
@Silentwinds you are so right
@lostandmisguided18
HUG! Praying for you! Just remember, God never lets us go. Once Jesus is your Lord and Savior, you are HIS no matter what!!! Still, I know where you are and how hard it is. Have you ever read "The StoryBook Bible?" My counselor has me read it and talk about it and i cried so hard! Jesus heard my tears and He wrapped His arms around me and He reminds me daily, I may mess up and have anxiety, etc But God knows all this. He is holding our hands! He loves you! He isn't sitting far away pointing a finger and condemning! He is close and His arms are open wide ... run to Him! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@KLM3278
Yes God is right there very close to you!! 😊😊😊!

@lostandmisguided18 please never give up on yourself,you are worth it.we are maded by God, he loves us all,we are not perfect.and forgive all of us,no matter what we do,he is all ways be our sides,at all times,just remember that sometimes we can forget,but that the evil one,that wants us unhappy feeling.we all have been there,sometimes I have the same feeling,remember one body is perfect.and pray that God show you light.God never leaves abandon us,we may loss our patch,he is all ways there for us all ways.God loves us,never never forget that.God is love
For anyone struggling with sleep, this could be for you if you want it.
