Prayer Request: I have always admired girls who abstain until they are married and at one point in my life I wanted to do so too. However, nowadays I’m finding it hard to keep track and prevent my mind from impure thoughts especially since I want to start dating.  I’m 21yrs old and have not had sex yet. But with the changing times, I’m being told I can’t have a relationship without sex. I recently met this particular guy that I really like and he likes me too, but I’m scared of starting a relationship with him for obvious reasons.…

Prayer Request: Hi, I recently got into a huge argument with one of my friends. She accused me of being two- faced and a backstabber because I accidentally told something very personal about her to another one of our friends. I say accidentally because I thought our other friend already knew. But Immediately after I had told her, I knew that I had talked too much. I wished that I could take it back but it was too late. I didn’t do it to be malicious. I even tried explaining this to my friend but she doesn’t believe me. She…

Prayer Request: Please pray for my best friend. We have been friends since elementary school. We have did everything together. Gotten in trouble together. Graduation after graduation. We are inseparable. She used to sneak over my house to go to church with me because her family was Jehovah’s Witness. We disagree on just about everything. But there’s one thing that we disagree on that I cannot overlook. She just confessed to me about a week ago that she’s an atheist. I asked her how long she has been an atheist and she told me pretty much all her life. We…

”Preachers of LA” is one of the most controversial upcoming reality shows right now and it hasn’t even made its Oct. 9 debut Oxygen and it’s already drenched in backlash from the Christian community. The cast is composed of L.A. based pastors Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Wayne Chaney, Bishop Ron Gibson, Pastor Jay Haizlip and Pastor/Gospel singer Deitrick Haddon. The show offers viewers an inside look of these preachers’ lives beyond the pulpit. Even though the show does highlight some spirited services and Biblical references, it’s also catching backlash for its portrayal of over the top wealthy…

Prayer Request: I need a prayer for clarity. I don’t want to be so judgmental but my cousin and I have always been close like sisters. We could tell each other anything. Well at least I thought so. She recently came out the closet and I’m okay with it. I told her I still love her. However, I don’t mean to sound judgmental but I don’t want to hear about her and her girlfriend. We can talk about anything else. Just not that. She’s even asked me to attend her “wedding” for her and her girlfriend. So far I have…

Prayer Request: I’m in a very bad place right now. I have a decision to make and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years. We recently got engaged. I’m not going to lie, we have sinned and had sex before. But 3 months ago I made the decision to stop living in sin. I told my boyfriend that I will not engage in pre-marital sex any longer. He agreed and we have been doing really good for the last few months. But 2 weeks ago he was let go from his job and…

Prayer Request: I have this boyfriend whom I love so much. We have been together for quite some time. I’m worried because he does not mention anything about our future, precisely getting married and settling down together. I’ve been praying to God and fasting about it. I wanna get married some day and with him. Please help me pray about it. Our God does not fail. Please join us in praying for this young lady. May God grant her clarity to see this situation as He wants her to see it.

Hi, Dreana I had the pleasure of meeting you last year at a conference in California. I was going through rough times at that time. After speaking with you, I walked away feeling like I was ready to take on the world and that everything would be okay. Fast forward a year later, things have gone from bad to worse. That job I was praying for, well I got the job, but as of today… They let me know that they will no longer be needing my services. I have a 4 month old and my 5 year old has…

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say first off that I am a man, but I am in desperate need of prayer. My wife is a fan of your site. My dad is a bishop at our church. His dad was a bishop. The pressure is on me big time to follow in the family tradition. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Lord, but I don’t feel the calling to minister. My dad, mom, and wife seem to think that I’m running from my calling. I always say “if God calls me to minister, I would have no problem…

How many of us will admit being hateful, jealous, negative, or just down right insecure of ourselves? Better yet, a better question would be… How many of us would be receptive to constructive criticism, take a look in the mirror, and better ourselves? Gabrielle Union did just that! She manages to keep it all the way real when speaking on how she projected her insecurities on other women in the entertainment industry. Earlier this year, she revealed during her Essence Black Women In Hollywood speech: I used to shrink in the presence of other dope beautiful women. I used to…

Hello Saints, I am asking that you pray for my sister Melinda. She’s a lost soul right now. We were raised in the church and are Preacher’s daughters. I’ve always looked up to my sister but lately I can’t stand her! Up until a few months ago, she led a very powerful teen ministry started in our church and later blossomed outside of the church. She has touched so many lives and brought so many souls to Christ. What I don’t understand is how can you just walk away from all of that. She’s currently dating this guy who is…

My ex and I have a young son together, but we broke up last year when he was only a month old. We were suppose to be working on things, but nothing was really changing. We were on okay terms and he came by and did things for my son often. Well he had began to talk to someone and had been telling me he wasn’t. I only found out because the girl started bothering me. I told my child’s father that if he talked to her it was ok and that he could be honest. He continued to lie…

I know my prayer request may seem small compared to other prayer requests but I am still hanging by a thread at the end of my rope. I have been a Christian for many years and have had a lot of prayers answered as well as have seen a few miracles in my life. Up to about a year and a half ago, it seems like God has turned his back on me and quit answering prayer. When I got hired at the company I’m with now, I went straight into customer service and after two years had had enough…

Prayer Request: I just accepted Christ into my life. I’ve been going through a lot of things and I’ve lived a life that I’m not so proud of. I need healing in the worst way. I want so badly to get my life together, and be the woman God intended for me to be. I’ve even taken a vow of celibacy. I’m scared because all of this is so new to me, and I don’t want to disappoint God or fall back into my old ways. I want the Christian Life for good. I’m only 23 years old, so that…

Prayer Request: I am asking for everyone’s prayers for my friend Amanda Chavez’s family (husband and 2 little angelic girls) and friends. Amanda was called to heaven on Feb 5,2013. She was 34years young and left behind her devoted husband who has been with her for 14 blessed years and her 2 loving daughters: Ashlyn & Alyson. She was always positive and a fighter (breast cancer) for her family until the end. I ask for your prayers to help give her husband strength and the tools he needs to guide his 2 little girls and understanding to overcome the days…

Prayer Request: My husband & I have been married for 7 years and together for 11. I didn’t find out that he was still entertaining his exes on social networks until after we got married and moved in together. I do not think that it has gone any further than the computer but he is constantly sending them messages and at one point having daily telephone coversations as soon as I would leave for work. I confronted him about it and it stopped for a small while but started again. It’s a reoccuring situation. They ask him things about me…
