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 ❤️
First of all, I have a funny story with an important lesson. . . I kept asking, growling and complain to God. . . "I want a better place to live." Or " Get us out of here."
So Thursday my family got to change rooms, over it's smaller and it a move of a whole 6 inches. . . My brother laughed as he heard many of my growly vague prayers. . . so when you pray, I learn you have to be very specific.
My prayer request are. . .
I need a better place for my mom, Amuptee brother, and I. . . (may I find a therapist who can help me find a job or get my on socical security for my health issues.) In this place, I need a kitchen, handicap bathtub, good location, a place where I can have at least one anxiety cat for me and my brother, and be within our price range.
I also want a honest agent and publisher that I can work with to publish my writing (and make money doing what I love.)
I also ask that I find doctors and therapists who actually listen to me and actually help me with my mental issues and fibriods and other female issues.
I dont know how to pray, or even what to do but if theres a God out there, please hear me when I say this.
God, why do you bring so many bad people into the Earth who hurt and harm others? Why did you do this to me? Did I deserve everything Ive gone through... and just please, please keep my little sisters safe from everything Ive been through
LORD JESUS I NEED MIRACLE RIGHT NOW IM STUCK IM LOST IM SUPER LONELY SUPER DEPRESSED I FEEL NO HOPE MY LIFE IS WORTHLESS AND IM WASTING AWAY HELP ME!!!!!
🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘✝️✝️✝️
Note: I have learned when praying that you need to be specific in prayer because I kept praying to God to move and we moved 6 inches.
My prayer request is kind of large. . . That my mom, brother and I find a decent place we can call home as (our state is having rules about where we are living now.) . . . nice landlords, something we can afford (my mom finding a job close), I get money for publishing for my writings, I want a place with a decent kitchen, a bathroom with a bathtub, and place where we can have a few cats.
Please I am losing my mind as our landlord are pushing us around because they are having issues with health department. Please let us find a place we can afford that works with our messed up credit score.
Prayers to cover the pain of those suffering or in need.

I have allways been an atheist though i studied the history of religions in highschool with field trips. I think something supperrior to us is out there...
I pray for everyone to get better and not suffer and I pray for love...may my wishes travel far...
I know I keep asking for prayers, but god and I are having a very shaking relationship. . . I do NOT need strength training. . . I've been through enough BS with my life that can't god first once help me.
I have had two nervous breakdown. . . Open metal stairs and I see the ground through the stairs and it freaked me out. I'm bigger girl and I could also see rust spots.
The humidity with my fifth migraine this week has made me very cranky.
Pray that I can make it through college, and that my anxiety doesn't inhibit me from doing it. I only have one class right now and I'm already freaking out. Next semester I'll be up to two, but I don't think i can do it. i'm too scared.
@HydrangeaField -- You CAN do it! Especially with God's help. I shall be praying for you. I was a really good student for many years and then this mental illness decided to come and smack me out of nowhere. I even failed a class that semester :( But dear Field, God is good! I was able to later retake that class (and earn a better grade). If you ask Him, God will be with you and He will help you to do your very best in each and every class. Don't fear, Field (yes I am well aware: easier said than done). When you feel scared, or lonely, very anxious or angry because that one professor just didn't understand or give you the grade you deserved ... all these - when emotions get really big and overwhelming, lean on God. You can lean on Him hard - like meaning you are only supporting about 1 or 2 pounds of your weight. Lean on God, my friend. He can - He will - take care of you! ~ Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370 Thank you so much for this message, Platy. It's such an inspiring message. I'm going to try my best to stick close to God at all times, the good and the bad. And hopefully, my college will let me retake classes too.
@HydrangeaField - Hi!!!!
I was going back through what I've posted and replied here at Prayer Thread and found this here 
How is your class going? Are you enjoying it? Gee, I sure hope so. What type of program are you in, or what degree are you working toward? 
Have yourself a great 'rest of Thursday' and it's almost Friday! 
I hope to hear from you soon! ((hugs)) 
Platy <><
@cyanPlatypus6370 Oh hi there Platy. :) I almost forgot about this post lol. My class ended in July and it ended very well. I think I made a couple friends, and I got a good grade in it. I'm currently in the Fall semester now, and that'll last till December. It's a lot of work, and I've stressed a lot about it. I even had to drop a class for my computer major in favor of a personal counselling one. That was a big blow, and nagivating school with a knee injury has probably been the second biggest. All in all, it's exhausting, but so far, I'm keeping my head above the water. I hope and pray that I can keep this up, because idk what else I could do with my life. I also hope you're doing well too. :)
I pray for you...
Please pray that I can complete all my work and responsbilities... and that I know to let go of things that are beyond my capacity to do.
