The Prayer Thread
Hello π
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 β€οΈ
Can I have some prayers again? β₯οΈ I

@Bpdmind123
Hi. I'm sorry to hear something is going on. Yes, God will hear you. Prayer is powerful and never wasted. God can and will give you strength and a peace that surpasses all understanding. We just need to talk to Him about it all. Ask Him to be with you and bring your comfort. π I will also be praying for you. Never forget that Jesus Loves You very much. You are not alone. π
Thankyou π’π’ππ... itncan onlyngo 2 ways, either a win or he better have gold wings with glittery feathers because i wont take anything less π’@KLM3278
@Bpdmind123
Not sure what that means, Hee hee. Safe Hug! Stay strong and praying for you! ππ
@Bpdmind123, God listens to anyone who needs help, it's is special job, and he loves to watch over and protect us. Whatever your problem(s) is/are, he's waiting to help, ok. He loves everyone. And I'll pray for you too.
Hi everyone - a newbie here
May I ask for your prayers? One - for my daughter who has a series of medical tests ahead of her, and for myself - as I am feeling so stuck and unproductive, but I have so much to do - could you pray for me to see a clearer path, and have faith that everything will work out?
Thank you
Blessings!
@quietNectarine6836
Hiππ
Ofcourse you can ask us to pray!
I hope everything is well and you and your daughter are ok
BASICALLY IM A SUPER DEPRESSED MOTHERFU<Kβ¬R. Im broken, empty, hopeless. Rotting in my own coffin. No point to anything. I dont think i will ever get better. Lord help me.
@hollowman84
It is scary when you feel the future will only bring more of the same and that things will never get better. .. I wish I had words of wisdom to tell you what brought me (mostly) from those dark dark thoughts and speculations. I would like to ask you to consider leaving space for a few thoughts in the direction of hope. A what if things turned out ok? line of reasoning to combat the negative self talk - Not every time, not even most often or every day but go easy on yourself occasionally. Your life has value and meaning. If positive is too much to muster (and I know sometimes it is) please will yourself to simply be. Not positive but at least a momentary release from the negative. This desperate tunnel you are in cannot hold you forever. It only seems that way. It wont be easy to find the way out but it is possible. For today I pray for some stillness for you, a temporary reprieve from the pain. I hope that is okay and if so will keep you in my thoughts and pray the light to find you. Please hold on, dont give up and dont give in. This can change, life can feel like its worth living.
Asking for your prayers today. The weekend will be hectic, and we will be attending a big family event (200+ people). I know that my energy will be drained and my husbands anxiety will be through the roof. Pray for us.
@MissPen
How did it go? Praying π
Hello, Im new to the site. I need prayers for this weekend. My wife and I have been frequently arguing for quite some time now. I notice that we argue more over the weekends because were around each other more. I just would like one weekend of peace. Thank you all.
@BSMITH275
Hi. I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. It must be difficult to fight like that. I will pray for you and your wife. I'm not married but wonder if maybe seeing a marriage counselor might help? Sometimes just having a listening ear for both of you together is a nice thing π I bet she hates the fighting just as much. You seem like a caring man and I hope you and your wife can slow down and draw back together. I'll for sure pray peace and reconciliation ππ
HAPPY WORLD COMMUNION DAYβ€
If you celebrate it
If not still Happy Day β€
Hey everyone how was your October?
It has definitely been a scary season for me not in a fun way
A lot of nightmares and sleep paralysis
I found myself thinking or whispering "in the name of Jesus Christ I rebuke you" or "son of Mary lamb of God" etc to halucinations are to get me out of paralysis
It helped
@wittySpruce8187
That sounds SO scary. I'm glad you can and do call on Jesus. He is our Lord and Savior!! I hope your nightmares get less . ππ

@hollowman84
I'm praying for you right this second. Please don't believe lies whispered in your ear. Being dead is not the answer. What can be an answer, is talking with others who sincerely care and want to help. Please believe that you are worth SOOOO much!! If I could right now I would pray with you, make you cookies and a warm drink, and just listen!!!! Here is a hug though - to go along with my prayers!!! You are loved! π

Please please don't believe any lies you hear in your mind right now. You are LOVED!!!! You are worth SO much!!!!! Praying for you to find comfort today. And a peace that surpasses all understanding.
@KLM3278 thanks for writing me. in a nutshell, I am overall very dissatisfied with my life right now and have been so for a long time. I have been stuck in a tough place where my life is not progressing and I'm having to work things out before I can really begin to move forward. Career problems. Back at parents' house. 34 years old and so alone. i dont think i will ever find an intimate companionship. i feel like a totally pathetic failure. i cannot even enjoy the small things by myself like before. creative writing is my passion and yet i am unable to even write these days. i feel so dried up. like im just shut down. i cant focus on anything. i cant enjoy watching or reading anything. im dead inside and feel totally worthless. life has never been bleaker. i feel handicapped by my circumstances and state of my mind which both seem irreparable. financially impaired. Emotionally paralyzed. Very lonely. Intense suffering and the constant torment of this emotional emptiness. I am joyless and feel hopeless. I can't imagine my life getting better. Recently things have gotten ever worse. i hate feeling this stuck. i hate being this lonely. i dont know how or when i can ever feel better. i fear more and more my life is just left to blind chance and that i on my own am too incompetent to fix this mess. i need a miracle. badly.
@hollowman84
Oh thank you for your honesty. God hears us when we cry and call out. I think your stuck in bad depression. And it sounds like you have a lot to be sad about. I wish I could help in person. HUG. Somethings you expressed are common. So ypu aren't alone. Can you see a counselor? If money is a road block, can you go to church? My church actually has a counselor on staff. They are free! I see a counselor elsewhere though. But churcj counselors are a good option. Having a pastor pray with you is also good. The body of Christ will want to help you. You are WORTH SOOO much!!! Please don't let the emeny win!!! Keep running toward God! Keep trying!!! life is only hard right now. It CAN get better!!! This might sound ridiculous, but try helping someone else. π Sometimes that helps. I don't know why but it does. And also, it may not seem good, but at least you have parents allowing you to stay there. That is nothing to be ashamed about. π Maybe your parents need you in a way? I will keep praying for you!!! Jesus IS all about miracles. πβ€οΈπ
@hollowman84 - This is a very powerful prayer. I am thankful for you that whatever is going on for you right now, that you are looking to Jesus to help you through it! "Dear Jesus, HELP!" may be a very short prayer - but it is honest and the brevity has nothing to do with how or when it is answered!
Dear Jesus, Please be with hollowman at this hour. I do not know what is going on for him, but that's okay because you, God, you know. Please, Lord, help the situation to turn out just as you would have it to - to "show off" your power :) or to teach hollowman more about You. We love you, God. We thank you that *any* time we cry out to you, you hear and you listen. I ask that you would give hollowman peace. A peace so deep within him that he doesn't even know where it's coming from. Yes, Lord, be near to hollowman at this hour and tonight/overnight. Thank you Lord for always hearing us whenever we call upon your Mighty Name! Amen. <3 Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370 thank you kindly friend. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my prayer, reach out to me, and offer a prayer for me. I ask God right now to receive the comfort of that prayer. Yes I just poured out that prayer late the other night. It is not the first time in recent days I have made that exact prayer, but it certainly hit a particular level of desperation. I am overall very dissatisfied with my life right now and have been so for a long time. I have been stuck in a tough place where my life is not progressing and I'm having to work things out before I can really begin to move forward. Career problems. Back at parents' house. Financially impaired. Emotionally paralyzed. Very lonely. Intense suffering and the constant torment of this emotional emptiness. I am joyless and feel hopeless. I can't imagine my life getting better. Recently things have gotten ever worse. i hate feeling this stuck. i hate being this lonely. i dont know how or when i can ever feel better. i fear more and more my life is just left to blind chance and that i on my own am too incompetent to fix this mess. i need a miracle.
