Submitted By: Amy Mathiew Prayer Request: Hello sisters. May of this year I had a complete hystorectomy and my husband and I aren’t blessed with children. On the fifth day after my surgery I had an over welming feeling of complete loss and emptiness. I cried till I fell asleep. This happened every day for 5 days. I want a baby. I need to be a mother and have the love of a child. I know there are plenty of people who know how hurting this is. I will be 40 next year and the one thing I’ve prayed…

Some call it the “third eye,” or like to envision their conscience as a little green Jiminy Cricket on their shoulder telling them what they should do or say. As I entered into adulthood, I became guilty of trying to listen to myself and follow my own actions. I had failed miserably. My goals and relationships with others began to suffer as I tried to take control over every aspect, making matters worse. I began to fill my cup with regrets. Things I should have said or done differently that would have changed everything. After many disappointments, I would pray…
Submitted By: Anonymous Prayer Request: Okay, my life is absolutely spiralling out of control. I know for the past few years I have lost touch with god and have almost become atheist, but I have wanted to become closer to god for a long time, but during the summer I became someone who Satan lived inside for a while. I was cussing a lot, I was throwing the finger, I was using god’s name in vain. But I tried to become closer to god, but I couldn’t go to church because of my busy schedule. But this year, I…
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. ~Matthew 6:33 Have you ever noticed how easy it is for us to put God on the back burner, yet everyone and everything else gets our undivided attention? We work Him in our schedule when we should be working our schedule around Him! Our Relationships, Families, Careers, and even material things become our main focus, yet we wonder why we have so many problems holding on to them. When I was married, If my husband didn’t feel like going to church, I…
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 Dear Sister, I know you have a lot going on. Don’t sweat it. Somebody else has had it going on before too. As a matter of fact there is someone, somewhere in the same place that you are. Someone is waiting for a breakthrough, a miracle, a healing, an answer, a deliverance, a financial blessing, a husband, a prodigal to come home, etc. You are not alone! Isolation is a trick of Satan. It’s sent to make us…
Some people say when it rains, it pours. I agree, sometimes it seems as though everything hits all at once. When one thing breaks down, everything seems to break down. When you lose one person, everyone seems to disappear from your life. No matter how much you pray, things seem to go the opposite of what you’re praying. But I also believe that the rain is an indication that God is getting ready to pour down blessings from Heaven. Psalm 126:5 says “Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.” If you’re going through the storm right now, hold…
I usually don’t do this, but this was heavy on my heart. One of our readers left a prayer request last week which left me literally in tears. It read: im 57 yr old woman. from day 1 i have been treated bad. bukkied by kids, a mom that hated me. i married to get away and he beat me for 20+yrs. a guy finally comes along and rescues me. no wait! hes a mental abuser from hell. i have prayed all my life and God just hurts me worse. i prayed for a miracle on my way home from…
Jesus is my defense. If He does not defend me, it means that there are things in my life that are not to be defended, and it’s better to find out about them now rather than later. On the other hand, because I take the Lord as my defense, and He defends me, what can those who are against me do to me? – Joseph Prince Some things aren’t worth our time! The word says that he will perfect that which concerns us. So give it to Jesus, and it will all work out. Today, ask God to reveal whatever it…
Sometimes we have to go through things, to get us to focus on the things we should have been focusing on all along. If you’re looking for clarity on a situation today, ask God to reveal what it is that He wants you to focus on. It’s funny how you can meet someone only once, but yet that person will stay in your mind forever. I remember sitting in a Starbucks surfing the web as a young lady came and sat not too far from me. She continued to hold a conversation on her cell phone and I continued to…
Sometimes we pray for things we are not fully prepared for. Some of us ask God to show us a sign whether something or someone is good or bad for us. The funny part is, God may have given us plenty of signs , before we even prayed that prayer. One of my relationships, I REALLY wanted to work! So when we began to have our share of problems, I began to pray. I asked God to show me whether or not this person was the one for me. If not, I prayed that He would remove him from my…
XXXXXXX Writes: In 2008, I was in a car accident. A driver ran right through a red light at an intersection and hit me. I spent 2 months of my life in the hospital rehabilitating, but never gained function back in my legs. I’m told that I will never walk again. After the accident the driver reached out to me and my family to apologize. But I have too much hate in my heart to forgive her. I mean, how can you forgive someone who is responsible for changing your life for the worst? It’s easy for someone who hasn’t…
Did you know that when you hold grudges, you hold yourself hostage from receiving the blessings God has for you? Mark 11:25 says: “But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.” God wants us to be happy and joyous, not bitter and angry. Some of us are holding grudges against an absent parent for not being there when we needed them the most, a friend who has betrayed us, a spouse who has walked out on us, Or maybe even God for…
Sometimes we get upset when our friends and family disappear when we seem to need them the most. But don’t! That’s all a part of God’s plan. Sometimes we get too dependent on our loved ones that we forget that God is the only one that can “Make us or Break us”. He is the source of our blessings. Your loved one may be the resource, but without the source there could be no resource! You can always tell when God is getting ready to bless you, because He will start to remove people from your life. The people whom…
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. ~Exodus 14:14 I know sometimes you want to crawl up in a corner and Pray to God that your problems just go away. But, that’s not exactly how it works! Problems are meant to be defeated, We should not be defeated by our problems. If God took away every problem that we encountered, every time we prayed, We would never know how it feels to overcome them. You can’t have a victory without winning the battle, just as you can’t have a testimony without passing God’s test. Instead of…
Have you ever tried ignoring God? By that I mean, you pray for answers about a situation. But when God gives you an answer which is not pleasing to you, you convince yourself that it couldn’t possibly be the answer God wants you to hear. You continue to ignore His signs. That is, until you get that “Can You Hear Me Now?” moment. Years ago, I was working a job that required me to work weekends. So this meant that I couldn’t attend weekly services on Sunday. I prayed on the situation. I asked God to make a way for…
