New prayer requests/praise reports ?

[4him]

I was wondering if any of you might have prayer requests for which I and others might pray for you.

I have come to greatly appreciate Eli and this website which he has provided for us. I've been very blessed by the postings shared and interactions with others on this site.

Anyone have prayer requests.....or a praise report, or anything else ?

In Jesus,
John

Hi John, I first want to thank the Lord for your gentle spirit of love and affection for the Saints. Would you please pray for me. Lately I have been feeling overwhelmed by a feeling of dispair and a lack of contentment. I have been wanting to see how God can use my life by looking at the lives of others around me and comparing their gifts and abilities to mine and between myself and the Devil I have been discouraged. This has been an ongoing problem in my life for many years and it tends to lead to more sin and depression and anger. Please pray for me to see Jesus and His love for me and to allow Him to work in me.

Thanks; Alan

Dear brother Alan,

Sure appreciate your honesty. :-)

I will definitely pray for you about what you are experiencing. Amazing how similar our experiences can be ! Feels like you’ve been reading my diary-just kidding (I don’t have one but if I did) Like you, I sometimes feel discouraged, and am wanting to be used by God so much more than I am currently. The waiting area, the desert can be tough.

I want to say thanks and God bless you for your encouraging words. Also, I wanted to let you know that I’ve really been blessed by what you’ve shared on this site. I remember you giving me some good advice before on an issue I was working through with my son. As well, I’ve been blessed to read your reports of when you’ve been sharing the gospel. By the way, do you think 9 & ½ is too young to tell my son about the ‘facts of life’ ? I’m going on a father and son trip with him this month and am trying to decide whether I should share on this topic, and if so, how much ?

Brother, thanks again for sharing from your heart. Also, please pray for me, as my wife and I are still trying to decide whether the Kingdom theology message often taught at our church is enough of a reason to leave there. We greatly need God’s wisdom.

Here’s a verse which has been a reminder to me of God’s faithfulness to us, his beloved :

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
(Hebrews 6:10)

Your brother in Christ,
John

Thanks brother.
Please pray for my health and my heart
The last two weeks have been hard, very tride and weak and pain.
I see my prayer life, is suffering. I would confess my sin, and walk in godliness
my heart towards my brother is not good. Please pray I would have deep fellowship with others. I would love and serve others. Please pray I would have grace to pray.
thank you brother.

Hi Charlene,

I am sorry to hear about the pain and tiredness you've been experiencing lately I will definitely pray about these concerns.

I'll pray for you about your relationship with your brother as well. I find that whenever I have a strained relationship with someone else and I pray for them, then God causes my love for that person to grow. Could you please pray for me as well in this area ? I would like to have a stronger relationship with one of my sisters. I sometimes feel a strain in my relationship with my her, and the fact that we live thousands of miles away, adds physical distance on top of the emotional distance that's there.

I too long for deep fellowship with other Christians. That's a great desire that you have. When you read the words of the apostle Paul in the New Testament, how strong were the bonds of his affections for other Christians he had come to know ! How he poured his heart out for them in prayer.

I believe God will satisfy your desire to love and serve others as you continue to be faithful to him.

May he strengthen you and fill you with the knowledge of his will. His love for you and for all who love his appearing is great :-)

In Jesus,
John

thanks for letting me know as well. I think family can be very hard at times. christ is teaching a lot, seeing my own sin and how I don't love as I should. But also seeing His grace when it is hard. I take as a blessing i am here. I get to learn the joy of serving and learn to sumit to things I disagree with. Indeed christ is able to satisfy all of my heart. I have been reading song of songs, Christ love story his own. this has ben a great help. As God was teaching or showing today, that he is my all, and he is the one I need to frist run to. I have a deep longing for deeper fellowship, yet in his good will it hasn't work out to meet up with any gilrs weekly. But I know that he can meet all our hearts longing. He showed to love even more, to be willing to lay down my life for them. Honesty I don't know what that looks like. But I want to be there. I need brokeness and humble heart. I am thankful for your prayers. My health is up and down, again God is faithfull to help me. I must rest in Christ, my days are numbered.
Also please pray the pest in our house, my brother wants to spray the house with pestiside, please this will happen. This stuff makes me so sick.
Thanks brother I will too will be praying. I know what you mean about his divine brotherly love for others, to pray. It is a gift from God, and it show that those in Christ are family what amamzing thing..

Blessing
In Christ

Thanks brother, It was a good, day hard at first But funny then moving Wow what a day
It started off, with work the lady not wating me talk with her any more about God I was sad, But knew God is one who works so I can pull back and trust him. I got some flowers For a friend and went to see her, We tal for a while My blood sugar was high My lack of care for myself, but God was still kind to me. I stop to clean my brothers car I wanted to bless by Having his car clean. Oops I didn't have the window up all the way. Well it got clean
then When I got come Our friends where there the family I watch there baby for. I quickly cleaned the house cause more people where coming. My brother went out of his way to buy food I could eat and blessed me. We where all eating and brother ask what I want I said a plant, aloe, So he came back a few mint later and said Charlene I am giving the aloe plant in the front yartd, i thought it was funny. Then he said later, I could have this really nice pan he got, he had told I wasn't allowed to use, cause I sometimes brun things. Then the little wanted to get somethig so they went the drug store and got me a few little things that I often use that are my brothers. then the funny part was when they got the cake and put the candles on it, light them up but when brought it to me they were all blue out, and only one was left. Sometimes the small things in life and are a joy, I really don't care for gifts, but I loved being with my family and enjoyed Gods grace. after I went over my friends I left my phone in her truck, as we were walking out to leave we started talking and God just did a wonderful work in my heart. I was so thankfull For God. He was moving in new ways and I delight in such grace, I desire so much to preach the gosple, I desire so much for men to be rised up to go and preach. I want To use what God has given to preach the Gosple I just started painting and going to work on a song and dance with the gosple.

So neat and pray need, My friend and other guy and we are praying a younger guy to join to open air preach not us lady;s but the Guys. I will say the book of john or parts from memory and my friend will sing and guys preach, we have the sound work out, But we need much pray and humble hearts before the Lord.

Dear brother I am blessed and I am very thankfull, Indeed i shall pray for you, May Christ be honor and may we get out of the way and Christ work through us.
Lets run, and take joy in what we have and who we are. ..

Most delighted In christ
Charlene

I need a humble heart honest heart with others and forgiveness. it says not to let the sun go down with anger, But I want to deny and run from it. May Grace win and humble me. Thanks

Hi Charlene,

I'll be sure to pray for you that God will enable you to act in love, by his power. I sure need God's grace in that area as well.

Also, can you please pray for me ? I have another appointment with my dentist on Oct 20th, to further treat my jaw condition. Things have been kinda rough lately, healthwise. Thank God, he's my strength :-)

In Jesus,
John

More death to self, beacuse most likely is something I don't want to do. May Christ love carry us on to love otehrs more

Dear brothers and sisters I would like to bring to your attention a great need that we must give ourselves to both in prayer and physical help. In Salt Lake City today our dear sister Sherry Jarvis visited some refugee families and found that there were many many children with no shoes on their feet and no warm clothes or even long pants. She phoned me in tears over the situation of these young children whose hands and feet were ice cold and whose noses were running. We must as the body of Christ act now to help these dear people. They are not across the ocean but right in our own backyard, and winter is here and they literally have nothing. Please contact me by phone or e-mail with support. Clothes, gloves, pants, shoes, socks and even some toys. If you don't have these things around the house then you could go to the DI and if you don't have time for that you can give a donation and we will use it for these needs. We are trying to get back down there
this thursday.

Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'


You can reach me at 435-563-4038 or 435-752-1940, Please send this out on your prayer chains and church bulletins. We need to act quickly.

In Christ; Alan Taylor
