  1. I worry for my sister. She’s struggling something that is almost to an eating disorder.
    Our family doesn’t think so and they think that she just want attention or she’s really just acting off.
    I think otherwise. I think that she really is struggling with how she eats. No matter how much they scold her, she still eats slowly. So slow that even her teacher would call our aunt concerning her time limit in lunch for she’s still unfinished eating after lunchtime and their class is beginning.
    Because of this going constantly, half of her life, she’s been eating slowly and her punishments or scoldings are getting more and more severe.
    One would pick on her, another would tease her, the other would scold, the last one would hurt her to get her to eat faster. They think that scaring her would give her the motivation to eat quickly, while I have nothing else to do but to watch them do those things.
    I’d defended my sister once, but it turned out really ugly. I almost lost their trust, we had an argument and they would intervene with how I want to discipline my sister.
    There’s nothing I could do to help her. She would still get hurt either physically or emotionally, the most.
    Please pray for my sister’s slow eating and to change the perspective of the elderly members of the family towards my sister. I have nothing else to do to help her, this is the least I could do.

  2. Recently, I randomly started feeling farther from God and Jesus. When Im asked the question if I believe that God is real, I usually say yes, but recently its an idk. I really love God and everything he has done as well as Jesus' words of wisdom, but there is something that im missing. Please pray for me to get closer to the Lord.

  3. I'm in a severely toxic & dangerous situation that unfortunately I am unable to get out of (even tried going thru local resources & police dept with no help) & I know God is teaching me alot through this but instead of getting stronger, I feel like I'm getting weaker. I feel so far from God & I need Him more than ever.
    So please pray I can learn what I need to learn, get closer to God & to be able to live a happy life.

  4. The Almighty has gotten me off drugs, I was addicted to cocaine for over a year, roughly 1.5 yrs, been a year clean, and April 3rd this year I quit drinking and smoking. I was a raging alcoholic, haven't touched it since and won't ever again thanks to God. I was baptized this year may 23rd and have fallout given my life to GOD. However, the devil still uses weaknesses and temptations, struggles of mine to try to pull me away from god and make me mess up. I struggle with Porn/Masturbation. Please pray for me, pray is powerful, to overcome this. GOD can do anything, nothing is to small or to great for our GOD.

  5. I really miss going to church too. Since I moved to the states for four years we have tried different churches, and haven’t been able to feel connected to a church that I feel very passionate about or feel strongly the touch of Holy Spirit. American churches are more for community purpose to me so far, we go to meet people, but do I encounter God each week in the sermon, I honestly don’t feel that. And since Covid, I wasn’t able to go, and just watch online occasionally, I resonate with Pastor Craig message. Thank you for giving me the spiritual food while I don’t have a church to go to. Since covid, we haven’t gone to
    Church, but I also find it hard to relate to some of the other Christians who grew up in the states, every week they shared need to be closer to the Lord and read more Bible, be more disciplined, pray more, but I feel their life is empty. I was once very passionate for God and it comes sooo naturally to serve. I am a bit tired of the Christian biblical principal debates in small group here, that feels no change, not really any power in prayers…I knew I need to go back to church, but honestly I don’t know where can I go back to.

  6. I ran away from God for so long that I feel like I don’t know how to run back to him I want to fall in love with reading the Bible and talking to him and worshiping him but I feel so distant please pray for me so that I can strengthen my relationship with God

  7. Pray for my mom please. She had cancer surgery yest and has a long road of recovery ahead. Thank you Jesus the surgery had no complications and thank you for the strength and healing you will give my mom.

  8. I need strength. I need a stronger heart and mind. I have been dealing with substance abuse for years. Recently I have started having some mental health issues. I feel this war over my mind. Please keep me in your prayers.

  9. My Prayer request: As a believer i struggle with wanting a relationship with Jesus. please pray that I have a desire to open my bible to read and pray. please pray that I would be able to properly give my list over to God, I desire to be on fire for Him but fear has been a unscalable mountain in my way.

  10. I have been living in sin, I don't want to mention what sin exactly, but I have been to scared to confess to my parents about it. I have been hiding it for a while now, and I'm scared to tell them because I fear being judged. My family, except my grandparents are not Christians. I can't really say I'm one either, but I have been trying to become one. One of my parents was forced to be a Christian, so when he grew up he didn't really want to live like that anymore. I am scared that if I try becoming a Christian, there going to think I'm weird or crazy. So as much as I want to read the Bible and go to church I don't tell them cause its a sensitive topic for them. I just want to be free from my sin. I also need help being humble, because I've been very proud and prideful.

  11. Can you please pray for a financial situation I got myself into, that the Lord would somehow save me and straighten my dumb situation out… I lost all my money. I've prayed and prayed and still no money to be returned. It feels like I can't get any help from the police.

  12. This message is so good!! That, it's not about my church, your church, their church, but we are all one Church and we exist to glorify God together and to do war against the enemy together
