Prayer & Praise
O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Amen.
While this website of Michaels has been focused on God and immigrant children and loss of animal friends, i know that the folks who come here are also praying for Thai boys trapped in the flooding labyrinth and for the safety of the rescuers also… seems surreal
God have mercy indeed … Lam 3:21-24 perhaps we all can thank God and hope for mercies?
Going to church and will offer up a prayer of thanks for Michael, on his birthday…
remember in prayer
Michael – Chester his cat has passed away
Em – wild firers in the area near her
cash – depression , PTSD
Linnea – niece Danielle in jail in another state. would like to find her to visit and let her know she is loved in a way that is meaningful to her
Michael – waiting results of echo cardiogram
David H – I could use a prayer. I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy . Right side of my face is paralyzed. Prednisone and an antiviral.
Xenia- chihuahua Lilly passed away
Linnea – Would you please pray for my niece, Danielle? She is living a lifestyle that has landed her in jail several times, is living homeless, and she will certainly die if she is not plucked from this fire.
Remarkably, a pastor bailed her out of jail the first time and tried to steer her to a Christian rehab program, but she would have none of it.
Her mother, my sister-in-law, doesn’t know where she is, but when she saw her last could see the physical changes brought on by the drugs. Please pray also for God’s comfort for Danielle’s Mom, Karen. Thank you…
Duane – friend , Stephen, has passed away
Vicki McClellan – I’ve been struggling since my husband passed. But I have been angry at God for not answering my prayers and healing him. After all, the kids and grandkids and I still need him here. Help me understand.
filbertz – we will be marking our son Drew’s death shortly–two years ago May first
Bart – I was fired from my job last summer. I’m in sales, upon post operative inspection of the 8 inches they removed; a malignant 2mm tumor was discovered and further tests showed the cancer had spread to 1 lymphnode. My prognosis is good, my oncologist is confident, this chemo treatment has a very good success rate
-finished chemo
– my wife’s mom has passed into heaven.
-my wife is diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia, human Neuro virus and because all this is putting stress on the heart, congenital heart failure.
Xenia -Please pray for my best friend and neighbor who is very weak and sick with some mystery ailment the doctor’s can’t identify. She is fearing for her life. Her name is Susan.
captain kevin – I’m in dire need of mental and spiritual strength. I’m ready to take a 20 year nap.
J2theperson – please pray for my church. I can’t go into specifics now, but things are going very wrong right now
Captain Kevin – My blood pressure is too high, causing my left ventricle to work too hard. Dr. added a second BP med and was genuinely concerned.,fibromyalgia, depression
Michael – heart aneurysm and a bad valve, bad back and neck issues.
The New Victor – my mother was moved to icu
j2theperson – There’s a guy who is, wrongly, accusing our church of gross financial mismanagement if not outright illegality. There is no evidence his accusations are true and we actually seem to be on solid financial footing; however, we’ve already had at least one person leave the church because of him and there are quite a few people concerned about his accusations. Please pray he does not cause serious damage to our congregation, that people will recognise him for what he is, and that we will come out stronger for having gone through this.
Captain Kevin – Please pray for my oldest daughter. She is separated from her husband. This is probably the 3rd time in the 3 years they’ve been married. I’m not sure who is more at fault or if there is any abuse, so I just pray for God’s will. They are believers, I think.
brian – Not really asking for prayer just a thought. I will be getting some injections because of a back injury and will be talking with a surgeon concerning a disc fusion. My main prayer use this to help me be a better teacher and Christian, thanks.
JD – Marshal whose mother told him that she doesn’t love him
John 20:29- my cousin in barring a miracle he’s entering the final stages of his cancer… prayers have been appreciated and heard. .. They’ve brought him some good months. Jerry married his high school sweetheart and prayer for her and their 3 children (adults with families) would be so welcome now. They’ve been a close couple and now, even tho she is a Believer, she will face growing old without her life partner…
JoelG – filing for custody of my 2 younger teenagers. I found hundreds of explicit photos of my youngest daughter that I’m sure have been shared.
-My ex, daughter and I met to talk, discipline and love on our daughter. We’re all in the same page moving forward and she will be getting counseling.
Linnea – Jon and Sarah. Please pray that they would know God’s love and would follow Him out of horrible lifestyles to freedom.
London- my mom who had surgery for pancreatic cancer and back surgery for three fractures in her spine. Caretaking is hard work at times and it seems that I lose track of time pretty easily
the new Victor – pray for God’s protection and mercy upon my children, who’ve been through a lot, including witnessing domestic violence in the other home, and that I am strong and engaged enough to lead them so they don’t turn out like the sons of Eli.
Bob Sweat – we are asking God to open a door to a small church somewhere in the US who want a pastor to love them and faithfully teach the Word.

A praise that should be shared…
A next door neighbor family of long years ago (she taught Bible Study Fellowship) that were not a good representation of the Faith and unpleasant to live next to. So many stories to tell, so glad i didn’t. I would have said they were hopeless, self righteous hypocrites. I just received word that somewhere along the way they got their spiritual heads on straight and are living as obedient, redeemed children of God today. There’s hope for us all. Not only for our own selves, but those we’d say “were’t really saved.”
Pray for your enemies, indeed. God forgive me for judging
Praising God with you Em for the salvation of your neighbors.
Praying for those in need of salvation on our list and in our hearts.
Dusty,
Thank you for compiling that prayer list! You’re awesome, dear sister!
Dusty, what Cash said!!!
Em, thanks for sharing that praise and the encouragement that comes with it.
Please pray for one of my twins. She is 20 years old and going through a season of depression. It breaks my daddy heart.
Thanks cash and captain kevin. Much love to you two. Praying always for you.
Praying for your girl captain. ..may God hear your prayers for her…..
Please pray for my friend, Tom Widner, SJ, who has been admitted to hospital with heart issues….
Yes, Dusty- thank you! CK- praying for your daughter. Duane- praying for Tom.
I’ve been offline for a few days- hope your Birthday, Michael, was wonderful.
Thank You, Lord for sparing the Thai soccer team and for sparing all of us from a horrific memory… Some say it was a miracle. ?
I hope the nation places a monument to the rescuer who lost his life… and i hope they cement that cave shut
Reading the PhxP prayer list and praying for all as requested … too many tests and sorrows these days… Indeed an almost overwhelming need to ask God for mercies, it seems…
He IS able – Praise His Name
My overworked nurse daughter is undergoing tests for what may be a (serious) heart problem … we need God’s mercy now, too
But i must thank God that we dodged a bullet… They jumped on our wildfire with guns blazing, got it out in 3 days and immediately the wind started up like the demons are having a tantrum here in our mountains…. Praying for no more fires… But i guess that is true for most of us now
Praying for Duane’s friend and Em’s daughter…and the rest of the list as well…
Thank you, Michael… As you know so well, heart problems turn your world upside down… like nothing else, i suspect… Praying for you also… and Dr. Duane’s friend …
and all listed on dusty’s record here now .. my heart aches for the mother of Linnea’s niece… and many similarly grieved here … God, please help our children to navigate safely thru this evil time and grant their parents wisdom … and faith in You
Thank you Linnea and Em…..I love that you are here! praying for you and with you for your families.
praying for your friend Duane.
