I am lost, I mean completely lost, things are not going as I planned since almost 3 years now, I am 22. I lost my dad 4 years ago in a car accident, since then I’ve been battling so hard with my faith. He was our only source of income, a year after his death I met someone who at first was really nice to me, then it became a long distance relationship that had no future. I stopped it and started with this new man I thought would be my salvation. He was 32 then, but he was so…
Hello there, I have two questions 1. I recently graduated college and long story short my mother moved in with me after much convincing that she needed to start fresh. After selling her house, business, etc we’ve been living together for a year now, however over the past few months we’ve had major disagreements. She is now not talking to me and its hard. She doesn’t go to church anymore and I tried to get her to go but I feel she feels its awkward due to my friends or my boyfriend often accompanying us. Either way she is now…
I always thought forgiveness meant to just simply say “I forgive them” and be done with it. I am now realizing that is far from the truth. I have to constantly give my anger towards those who have hurt me over to God, several times a day. And it’s not because they deserve to be let off the hook, but because it is destroying me to live with anger in my heart every day. I know I have to forgive others because God has forgiven me, an unworthy sinner. What I’m really struggling with, though, is forgiving those who aren’t…
I never thought I would be doing this, but I am in desperate need of prayers. I’m an obese woman. Weighing over 400lbs. I have always been big, but never this big. Recently, I have noticed that my son doesn’t want to be seen with me. He has a girlfriend. He has introduced her to most of the rest of the family but for some reason I have not met her. He lives with me but he always goes to visit her at her home. I think this is because he is ashamed of me. He’s a senior in High…
Though I woke up, the enemy decided to begin the day with me. The pain and hurt is so immeasurable and though I wanted to give up, I wanted to say enough with the prayers I’ve been praying, enough with the fasting and thanksgiving, though I wanted to say enough with this walk with Jesus, I thank God He is still holding me together though with a very slim thread.He is still telling me that it is NOT over until He says it’s over. He is still encouraging me to look to Him, seek Him, His Kingdom and His righteousness,…
When one door closes, there’s always another waiting to be opened.
Submitted By:Tiffany Schwantes Prayer Request: I’m a young mother of two. I have been fighting cancer for over two years now. July 9, 2013, I got a liver transplant. This was the only cure for my cancer. I was doing good until about 2 months ago, and now my body has tried to reject this liver and was in the hospital for a month. Then a few weeks after that my anti rejection drug levels got too high and it sent me into kidney failure. I’m still recovering from this. Please pray God will heal my body. My babies (8…
” Hi, I’ve been a Christian all my life, but it wasn’t until my husband of a year and a half told me he was filing for divorce did I find the true meaning of faith in Christ. I was devastated as everyone is when they hear that news come from someone they completely trust and love. Of course we didn’t have a perfect marriage, and honestly I wasn’t happy with how “off track” it had become, but I was willing to change it for the better and he wanted out. We both asked God for His blessing over our marriage…
David and Tamela Mann celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. Although this wasn’t the traditional wedding you’re probably used to, you can’t deny that the wedding was BEAUTIFUL! All guests were asked to come wearing all black, the wedding party wore red, black, and white, and the bride and groom wore all white. Both, Bride and Groom read their personalized wedding vows from an iPhone and that’s pretty much when the tears began to flow. The 46 year olds Tamela, Gospel Singer/Actress and David, Actor/Comedian were legally married in 1988, but never had an official wedding ceremony…
(1 Timothy 4:12)- Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. This is just a reminder to everyone out there ‘WE’RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO SERVE GOD”. I am 17 years old and devoted to serving GOD. Yes I make mistakes but not deliberately. I got baptised last year, the day after my birthday and I haven’t regretted it since. It was THE BEST decision I have ever made in my life. My friends laughed at me because they…
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Always be on guard, don’t just wait for hell to break loose, to all of a sudden get loose in the Spirit and call upon Jesus. The Lord should continually be on our tongue, our actions, our thoughts. What I mean is that our lifestyle should be representation of our faith, trust and honor to God. We should always find quiet time to spend with God, ten-fifteen minutes of quality a day can go a…
When do you know when enough is enough? My husband and I have been married for 3 years. From the beginning, he knew how involved my family was in the church. He would come along every Sunday without a complaint, without hesitation, and he knew how important it was to me and also to my family that I marry someone who was involved in the church. He never did get “involved” but he came every Sunday and listened to the sermon so I couldn’t complain; at least he did that much. But over the year he’s stop coming to church…
Hello, Good afternoon. I’m 24-years old single mother, recently married. My husband & I have been married for a month and we’re already hitting rock bottom with finances playing a major part. He says I’m not doing enough financially but I’m trying and I only get paid once a month. He does help me with my daughter’s daycare from time to time but I don’t ask him for help with her, but he constantly insist so I just give in to his offer. Now that we’ve hit a financial snug, he’s blaming me and making me feel less of person…
Dear Praying Women, I’m in desperate need of prayers. The more, the better.
Doug and I met at church 4 years ago. We were teaching Vacation Bible School together at our church in Hawaii. I was preparing to leave the state after a very painful divorce which was a result of years of abuse. When I told Doug I was leaving, he looked very sad and I thought that was a little strange. I pushed it aside and did not think much of it and I left Hawaii. About a year later, I received a letter from Doug telling me that I am a good catch and that he was thinking of me.…
Lord, I pray for the courage and strength to let go of relationships that are holding me back. I will not be afraid to let go of OLD toxic relationships. Because I know that holding on to toxic relationships could be what’s standing in the way of my next blessing! When others do me wrong, give me the courage to turn the other cheek. Give me the courage to give them a piece of my heart when I really want to give them a piece of my mind. Let my heart not be hardened by heartbreak. Teach me how to love again and understand…

Gospel singer, Christine Vest has apparently had enough of folks taking shots at her for having a baby out of wedlock with Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard. The gospel singer recently aired her haters out via a note on her Instagram page. The following is Vest’s letter in its entirety: I’m sorry, but I just have to address all the …people… that consider “having a child out of wedlock” a “sin.” Having fornication is the sin, people. FORNICATION. (Is it a sin to adopt a child while still single? No!) Therefore, anybody else who has FORNICATED needs to shut ur…
In America, 67 million adults are quietly living with high blood pressure—that’s one in every three adults. Approximately 30 percent of American adults have pre-hypertension—a condition that puts them at great risk of developing high blood pressure. It’s a practically invisible disease with a few subtle symptoms. And even after you’ve been diagnosed, it can seem pretty harmless and easy to ignore. But, if not properly cared for, its progressive effects can put you at risk for heart disease, stroke even kidney disease. What causes high blood pressure? Research shows that high salt and sodium intake plus low potassium intake—due…
