Asking for prayers for my half-brother that will be going in for chemotherapy on Monday. And I think he will also have to undergo radiation at some point in the future. I’m not sure he is saved. I pray that my brother will come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior and that the Lord will remove the cancer from my brother’s body. My bother’s name is Chad. Also my Dad has been having some health issues( high blood pressure and high cholesterol). I pray the Lord will heal my Dad. Thank you in advance!
Agreeing with you in prayer for your brother, Mr. M, that the Holy Spirit would convict him & the Lord would put His healing touch upon him. I remember you asking for prayers for your dad in the past, so praying for a good outcome for him as well. God bless.
Thank you, Joe! I appreciate you for all the prayers you have given for my family.
Praying for good health and healing for both Chad and your father. Jesus, I trust in You! Also praying for Chad’s salvation.
Thank you, the phoenix!
Mr M,
Our Good and Merciful Father hears our prayers the moment we utter them. I pray you courage as you gently offer to pray with your brother and discuss his Salvation in his time of need. May all who are caring both for your brother and father be infused with Divine Wisdom by The Holy Spirit to guide them in their healing process. May they both stand testimony to God’s Mercy and Love and may God wrap His Arms around you too, as He Is so pleased by your lifting and intercession. We are grateful to stand with you in unity and look forward to witnessing how God Is already at work on your behalf. Blessings to you and yours, in Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Thank you JWoo. I’m glad to have read that things are going well with you and your daughter.
Praying and lifting those of our Treepers and their families in a position of flux with their occupations. Grant us favor, Father, and help us to serve You faithfully and to declare Your Name throughout the earth. We trust You for our provision, our lives, our safety.. for Christ’s Work is already done on the cross.
Phoenix’s sister’s interview today which could be a life changer for her, mine this week on T, W, TH… specifically the T interview tomorrow.
Grant us peace, steadiness, and full confidence in our abilities, especially when we commit our ways to You, You make our paths straight.
For those who are suffering in their jobs, serving faithfully, Father bless them with stamina and change to make their labor tolerable and enjoyable. evil’s house of cards won’t stand, I pray we not contribute to its stability. Let those overtaken by evil have a total and complete mindshift to recognize Who You Are and their salvation and our worth through You.
Do what You must to get and keep their attention and allegience… for Father, we would wish all would be saved.
Make our days and ways fruitful Father.. in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, AMEN
Amen.
Thank you for praying for my sister today, and for all Treepers in these uncertain times! Am also praying for a successful outcome for your job interviews, JWoo!
Also, I’m job hunting as well at the moment. Had some interviews that didn’t go anywhere … in at least two cases, I think I dodged a bullet.
Praying for the right job for all of us, Phoenix, and grateful you dodged terrible placements. May God place us where we will BLOOM for Him.
Thankyou for having posted this prayer.
A Prayer for Our Prodigals – in the form of a letter to my daughter, Savannah. Sometimes we have trouble putting into words what is in our souls as we lift our loved ones. I share this to give comfort and to equip. You may insert your loved ones name as you feel led or simply bless us with your prayers for my daughter’s safety and surefootedness. And that our prodigals will always know in their hearts of our great concern and love for them. They do not belong to us. They were on loan to us. They belong to GOD.
November 3, 2025
Dear Savannah,
It is cold this morning. Every day that it is cold, I pray for you that you are warm, safe, and comfortable. I spent the last 20 years of my life caring for you – it’s hard to stop now.
I am reading this book I wish you could read, too, called “The Power of Your Words” by Kenyon and Gossett. It speaks of not allowing our prayers to be canceled out due to our doubts or confession of an existing ailment or condition. Basically, don’t give power to the devil.
We know that Christ already died for us (Romans 5:8). His Work is finished! And He did this before our calamity, before our adversity, before our diagnosis today. The Bible reads “By His stripes, we are healed.”” (Isaiah 53:5) Not we are “going to be” healed, we already are. But how often do we give strength to the enemy by declaring evil’s victory over us with our complaints? That which is sown on earth is what is sown in Heaven, so let’s bind our words and give God praise for all He’s done for us! (Matthew 18:18)
You are my dearest human and I love you to the very depths of my soul. You carry my heart wherever you go, just as you carry your eternal Salvation, God’s Love, and Mercy. He Will Never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
I commit you fully to Him knowing and standing on His Promise in Romans 8:28 “ALL THINGS” work for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His Purpose. I know you love God and I know He loves you. I pray you FREE of any religious persecution, spiritual bondage, or anything that attacks your mind and body. I pray you fully healed.
I hope to see and hold you soon, my love. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Love, Mom
I’ve been away for awhile, missing everyone here. I pray daily for everyone in this magnificent Treehouse.
Welcome Suburbanwoman, I am so glad your daughter was not injured in her car accident. The Lord surely put His mighty hand in front of her in that moment. God bless you both.
JWoo, I am beyond words for you and Savannah. I prayed so hard for her protection from the online predator. Thank You, God. Praise reports help sustain me.
I’m once again asking for prayers for my Jen. Not quite 3 weeks into tapering off the steroids, the vasculitis is active again. This time in her legs and feet. They’ve swollen so badly the skin on her feet breaks open and bleeds, she can barely walk now and her pain is intense. She has lymphedema in her upper body which makes it hard for her to breathe. For now, the UVA docs are giving her Lasix and pain medication. She has to make an appointment with a vascular surgeon for anything beyond that.
Praying for a miracle again. Lord, please hear a mother’s cry for mercy and complete healing for her child. Please help me overcome my weakness, fear and sadness that I cannot help her myself.
Amen.
I was wondering how you and Jen were doing. So glad to see you here, but distressed over Jen’s condition and the vascular troubles. Father God, what IS this stronghold over her???
Father, You are the revealer of all mysteries. Faithful to the faith-filled. Your Son Is The Divine Healer through merely a mention or a touch of His Robe’s hem. Have Mercy on Your servant, Jen, and her family. Father, direct the minds of the medical practitioners to come to her aide, be Your Hands and Feet, and meet her needs and restore her to full health.
Illness and calamity does not find its source in You, Father, so send Your warring angels to her aide to release any strongholds from attacking her and her precious family. Release this evil grip on her body and return her fully restored to her family and ailment free.
We pray in Your Will and Your Perfect Timing for You Are Lord God Almighty. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
As for Savannah, Alleycats – thank you. She is texting me, but not speaking to me yet and I long to hear her voice. I think she’s feeling shame over all of this – so the healing is coming slowly and gently. There were three online sex predators – but the one that “got” her was a known predator from her former public school from 2022 via Instagram or SnapChat – social media demonic forces. That known predator is now gone and it’s my prayer that she is learning strong lessons in all of this.
I pray, too, that our lessons can help others to avoid the pitfalls that exist and the dark pull of social media on our youth and even our own mature minds.
My heart and love are with you, Jen, kitten, and your family. Stay strong, Sis. She needs you to be strong and to STAND on GOD’S WORD.
Thank you JWoo. I’m trying to be encouraging to her, reminding her to be thankful for the progress she made over the brain injury. And to pray for others, as she prays for herself. We will not give in, I’m just so very very tired.
I know, Sis. The compounding of attacks is really hard. The exhaustion so deep – it is hard to convey. You know what you must do and that is to circle your wagons – cut out the world’s noise – and focus solely on prayer and God’s Promises. I speak back His Promises from His Word back to Him in prayer and I’ve been joking recently that I am like the Parable of the Persistent Widow – Luke 18
Day and night, Sis. Day and night. It helps I’m in Bible Study Fellowship and currently studying the life of Daniel the prophet (and the lion’s den) and Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego (the fiery flames) – each delivered from “certain” death. Maybe as humans see it – BUT GOD.
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
DON’T GIVE UP. When you are exhausted – look to God for His Strength and just as God did with Daniel when He sent His Angel Gabriel to Him – Daniel in all of his exhaustion was touched by the angel and lifted with God’s strength – not of our own strength, but His. Stay the course.
Big, big hugs and love to you, Sis. We are here.
Not giving up. 🙏❤️😇
Alleycats, I will continue to pray for you and Jen. So sorry to hear her vasculitis has flared up.
Heavenly Father I ask you provide Alleycats with the strength and rest she needs to continue to care for her daughter. Lord you knew Jen before she was formed in her mother’s womb, you know how she is made, touch her and repair and remake healthy that which you originally created. Minimize Jen’s pain and let her feel your presence, feel your mercies feel your peace that passes understanding and give her the strength she needs to endure this trial in the valley and put her back on top of the mountain conquering these current health issues. I ask this in Jesus, your precious son’s holy name, Amen.
Thank you Pat.
Hi Alleycats, I am in remission from Vasculitis. It did a lot of damage before I was finally diagnosed.
My Rheumatologist recommended going on an anti-inflammatory diet and reducing toxic exposure.
I attribute going into remission on carrot juicing . The anti inflammatory diet is mainly steamed fresh vegetables and good quality protein.
I have weaned off the toxic pharmaceuticals that I was prescribed. Pretty much handle everything with alternative treatments.
I will be praying for your daughter and the rest of the family.
I was diagnosed in 2009….and I am still healing…actually improving. Just turned 78.
So encouraging, Hoosier!
Thanks be to God – ALL things are possible with Him.
Continuing in prayer for Jen. I’m so sorry she’s having to deal with all this. May God’s blessings be upon you both, Alley.
Thank you so much, Joe Blow. I hope you and your mom are feeling better as well. Fervently praying for all prayer warriors and other treepers.
Please pray for my aunt…her time is approaching…maybe 48-72 hrs…
Praying that Jesus be there to bless and comfort your aunt with His love at this time, and give her peace. Jesus, I trust in You!
Updated to add that I’ve said the Divine Mercy Chaplet prayers for your aunt. May God bless you and your whole family as well.
I pray your aunt feels the presence of Jesus, there to comfort her and take her home in peace. May God ease your troubled heart.
Heavenly Father,
We pray for and thank You for Your Divine Mercies. Father, speak into Joan’s heart that she will hear Your Voice prior to her transition from this world into the next. Give her blessed assurance of Your deep and abiding love for her and may she accept Jesus Christ, Your Son, as her Savior through Whom salvation flows.
Give rest and peace to her family and Father, we thank You for Your traveling mercies that placed Aggie there at this time to unite and bind with her extended family. Draw them closer through this.
We marvel at Your Cross and the unending love that it conveys. Thank You for our salvation.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Hi friends,
There are so many more important things to pray for here, but this sister is feeling pressure. We know pressure doesn’t come from God.
1) Savannah is texting me, but she has yet to speak to me and yet to schedule time to visit. It’s as though she doesn’t want to hear my voice and I can only gently encourage her. I still don’t know where she is staying, so I really need us to get through this together to help us mend. Also prayers that the bad guy is removed from her bank account and can’t steal her earnings. I’m praying for progress before resuming work when I will have less flexibility for her.
2) Please pray for my job situation. I’m under an enormous amount of pressure and I really need God to give me wisdom and surefootedness. He Knows our needs.
3) Savannah’s cat, Timmy, is deteriorating. Pray she sees him before he passes. He was her best friend for 14 years and I’m trying to keep him comfortable. I can’t imagine the additional emotional burden she would carry if she doesn’t make it in time. I can not push her and I can’t make him stay longer than God’s days for him.
God’s Will be done and give me the eyes, ears, mouth, heart, and obedience not to mess anything up.
In Jesus’s Name, I pray and request your intercession. I’m continuing to pray for all here.
Joe Blow… do you have updates as to how you all are doing? Hugs brother
Dear JWoo,
I may not post the most flowery words, but you and your intentions have continued to be remembered in my daily prayers. Your prayer intentions are just as important as anyone else’s as you’re praying against the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and in favor of choosing life, and life in abundance. And you are not alone in this season. The spiritual battle is intense, and it seems so many Christians are experiencing it. I pray that along with providing for your needs, that the Lord will grant you His peace and joy in these times.
Love you, Sis. Thank you. God Is Merciful. I’m hoping to hear good things for your sister. I have a facility visit on Monday and at that time will likely be accepting an offer.
Thank you for sharing your hope-filled update, JWoo! Prayers will continue for you over the weekend …
Dear Lord Heavenly Father, I pray in agreement with JWoo for her daughter to restore a speaking relationship with her mother, for Savannah’s finances to be protected and that only Savannah will have access and control of her bank account, for JWoo to have wisdom, guidance, and help on the job situation, and for Savannah to meet Timmy before his time on earth is completed. I ask for these prayer requests to be fully met in Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen!
Mr. M,
Thank you for interceding on our behalf. I am honored by your prayers for us. We are all on rugged roads, but these roads are our paths that lead to Life Everlasting. Please do keep us advised on your brother’s health and how we can continue to pray for him through his journey. Not sure how long you’ve been reading here – but we have seen miracle after miracle spring forth from these pages. Take heart, dear friend, just as I am doing. Much love!
Hi Joan. Not too much has happened regarding our situation. I experienced some improvement last week but I seem to have gone a bit backwards this week, so I’m continuing to entreat the Lord for His direction. Mom is stable for the time being.
I’m continuing to pray for you & Savannah, even when I haven’t always commented. My heart just breaks for you reading some of what you’ve written here. I don’t have any children so I can’t even imagine what this must be like for you. Surely the Lord is with you to be able to bear such a burden.
I’m touched that in the midst of all you’re dealing with you’d be thinking of me. Sending love & hugs to you, dear sister.
God evening, Joe,
Of course I am thinking and praying for you, your Mom, our Treeper friends – their families. You are an intercessor, so you know the depths of prayer and our time with The Lord. I marvel at the amount of time I spend with Him now – compared to my old self when I was running hither, dither, and yon. Though the journey can be rugged, there is no more beautiful place that I would rather be than in His Presence, interceding and praying.
We are all like family here. For some of us, some who are much isolated, this may be the only family they know and it is so rich a blessing to gather here.
There is something so beautiful and sacred when we lay our loves, our needs, our deepest desires at the foot of the Cross of Jesus. None, nothing, nada belongs to us. All is entrusted to us to steward for God’s ordained time. We have so many stories of our Biblical forefathers who went through such fires. Such testing. Refining. Grief. Weeping. Rebirth. How can we not trust God in such times armed with the full knowledge that He Cares for our prodigals more than we do?
He sent His Son to die for them… long before our diagnoses, our travails, our brokenness, our obstinance, our disobedience, our failings, and our pride ever occurred. Even still – He moved forward with His Salvation Plan for us. So defer to Him is the only thing that seems rational to do.
I could not have stayed standing without our prayers. I surely thought death was coming for me. But not today, satan. Not today.
Continuing to lift you and your sweet Mom in prayer. Have you read Proverbs 8 lately? I posted it on the OT just a few moments ago. Powerful powerful scriptures on Wisdom. That which existed long before our Genesis began.
GOD IS SO GOOD. HE SEES US IN OUR STORMS. HE GUARDS OUR VERY WAYS.
Maybe you could make her a little Thanksgiving care package including a small framed picture with Timothy and a few things you know she would love.
Ask her to have a cup of coffee at your favorite cafe.
I have four daughters and they love receiving unexpected gifts from me.
Good bless you and Savannah.
Hi Grace,
That is a lovely idea, but I’ve still no idea where she is. She is on her own, living now with a lady coworker and her daughter. (She doesn’t know that I know any of this.) The place I sent her identity documents was a relation to the predator. She’s away from them now.
I know where she works, but have never been there or seen it. She’s about 45 miles away from me in a rather questionable city. She has no car so her belongings remain sparse, so she can carry what she has on her back. She refused to learn to drive while at home, so she is very challenged.
I have to move ever so gently and slowly. Our friend Margaret, who is very dear to her says she is still deeply brainwashed. In her experience with this, we will not be able to reach her until she’s ready to be reached.
I cannot tell where her mind is. This is something I can’t fix for her… she’s got to do it in her timing and on her own.
She is going through something, social media related, manipulation by predators, and I’m very certain my “little girl” has learned bitter life lessons that I can only imagine. It may be why she is not talking to me.
We were so close, she could literally read my mind… and I could always tell when something was amiss with her. She doesn’t want to tell me… but she will someday. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready to hear this.
I grieve this bitter lesson for her. I just ache, but God will decide when our suffering is enough. I can’t get in the way of this.
Please pray for my brother who is 61 and schizophrenic and has been off meds for years. He is very delusional and has finally been admitted to a hospital.
Please pray that he receives the help that will bring his mind back to a more coherent state where he at least can understand his family is not trying to poison him but cares about him.
Praying that the Lord would make clear your brother’s mind & lift the fog of confusion from him, that He may find rest & healing in Him. God bless, Charles.
I thank God for your brother’s mind and for his admittance into a facility to address his needs. I pray for his release of the spirit that overtakes him and robs him of sanity. I cast it out in The Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I pray blessings and a hedge of protection around him, your family, and your friends, and acquaintances. All that has influence – I pray that no weapons formed against you will prosper. The Bible says that an evil spirit will leave a man, and when it can find no place to dwell, it can return, and bring with it others. (Luke 11:24 – 26) I bind that in Jesus’s Name and that those spirits who torment his mind be gone from him!!! Father God – please SET HIM FREE. May his freedom become Your Glory a testimony to Your Mercy and may those around him marvel at The Lord’s Goodness and may your brother speak His Praises for he will know From Whom his blessings come. In Jesus’s Mighty and Saving Name, AMEN AMEN AMEN
Blessed are those who hear The Word of The Lord and obey it – Luke 11:28
They let him loose. He has the right to refuse help and be mentally ill.
Joining you in prayer for your brother’s recovery, the restoration of his mind, peace of mind, and peace in the family.
Asking for prayers for my mother. She got out of the hospital Tuesday after a gall bladder removal and just went back due to altered mental status, inability to move. Thank you all.
Continuing in prayer for your mom, Kitty. The Lord bless you.
Praying for your mother’s good health and healing. Jesus, I trust in You!
Kitty, praying for your Mom. Hopefully it is something simple like a reaction to anesthesia or a pain med. Once realized and remedied, she’ll be back to her road to recovery. Praying blessings and healing for her and your family. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Please continue to pray for my Aunt. God’s not ready for her yet…but is fading, slowly.
Praise Report – I start my new job on Monday, November 17th. I will be a bookkeeper for a construction rigging company with a long, rich history. It’s a bit of a raise, too, so praise God for His Mercy and I shudder to think if I would have stayed and struggled before. I’m so glad I trusted Him and left there.
At the same time, I’ve been offered another small job as a personal chef to some dear elder friends of mine who have been in and out of the hospital numerous times. They have very difficult dietary needs (congestive heart failure – both of them, stage IV renal failure, diabetes, perforated colon, and gluten allergies) and they’ve been very, very sick. Fortunately, they have gained strength with some meals I’ve been bringing over, so they’ve asked me to continue to cook for them one to two times a week. I’ve enjoyed caring for them very much and it’s keeping my kitchen skills fresh since Savannah’s been gone. Not much need to cook for just a single – so it’s nice to feel needed.
I’ve had three people in the hospital with very serious concerns – one in ICU for 6 days with pneumonia and bronchitis; the other two mentioned above, and another who has just been ill with whatever flu is going around. I thank God for His Providence and His Healing Mercies for them all and for giving me the freedom to be able to help the families. God works in mysterious ways.
Kiddo is back to being distant. One step forward – two steps back. I can only leave her to The Lord and pray for her safety and maturity. I miss her. I miss the old her.
Continuing to pray for all here – God IS Faithful.
Praise God for that! Glad to hear you got out of that other place & the Lord lovingly placed you in this position.
That’s so awesome you are there to help your elder friends JWoo. I’ve always believed in the healing powers of homecooked food. Beyond the nutritional value, there is the gesture of love it represents. We all still need human connection too. God is so good, He always makes a way, His way. Congrats on the new job!
Praying daily for Savannah’s safety, and your peace of mind. I know you miss her.
Praying for all Treepers needs and concerns.
Thanks be to God for your new job! 🙂
Also praying for your other intentions … praying for healing of those who are ill.
Up late praising and praying for your new job and Savannah! Have a great day, sis!
Keep those prayers coming for my Aunt! Hospice took her off transition, which is an upgrade. She does have periods of restlessness but is improving as much as could be expected.
Thank you for relaying this hopeful news! Thanks be to God for your Aunt’s improving health! 🙂 Prayers are continuing …
Continuing to lift Joan and your family. May their faith in God be strengthened. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, Amen. Prayers too for your car and traveling mercies. ❤️
Please continue praying for Jen. She is still struggling with painful swelling in her legs and feet, and difficulty walking. Her eyes are swollen and painful too.
She won’t be able to make it down for Thanksgiving.
Her doctor is still confident she will resolve those issues as her body adjusts to coming off the steroids.
I am too.. I know The Lord will see her through it all. I just pray to ease her pain, give her continued patience, and strength in faith.
Alley, I will be praying for your precious daughter in days ahead … for you and family.
For the medical team, too.
Sharing an excerpt from a Bible Devotional that encouraged me:
May it minister to you, too.
>>
We must learn that no one who trusts God is ever forgotten by our Saviour.
He is ever praying for us (Hebrews 7:25).
We may feel forsaken and forlorn, but our High Priest is always touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15-16).
He catches the tears of our anxiety and anguish alike “in [His] bottle” (Psalm 56:8).
He is fully aware of our situation.
In the meantime, we must simply sit still until we see how the matter will fall and learn the glorious lesson that, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31).
MORNING HYMN
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
>>
Dear Lord, We are waiting on You – with expectation – to help Jen.
Surround her with Your Presence, Your Power, and Your Peace.
Show Yourself strong on her behalf, Lord.
Make a way where there seems to be no way.
May You be glorified through all of this.
For Christ’s sake, in His Name.
Amen.
Amen!
Thank you so much Miss.Della.B. It’s very hard for me to hear her in constant pain, and how frustrated she gets trying to do therapy when she can barely walk.
I will not give up, or give in to dark imaginings. Lord, please just give me some energy, I am so so tired these days. But I am very thankful for God pointing me toward my Treeper friends and Prayer Warriors who love a stranger enough to help. 🙏❤️
Dear Alley, you can call me Della, if you like.
Yes, God knows what we all need – and He providentially provides.
I just read an article that helps me articulate some thoughts.
Here’s an excerpt, and will leave a link if you want to read:
**
When we weep over the world’s brokenness, sin’s effects, and the suffering of God’s people,
we experience a deeper fellowship with our Lord.
It’s one of the ways we “share,” or “fellowship,” in Christ’s sufferings (Phil. 3:10).
Truly, when Christians suffer in this life, we do so not only forJesus or because of Jesus but with Jesus (Rom. 8:17).
**
In reality, those who belong to Christ are not strangers.
We are in His family and will know each other in eternity.
Computer screens, geographical distance, etc are no hindrance in God’s kingdom.
The Lord has told us in His Word – that all people will know we are His disciples IF we love one another.
He tells us to carry one another’s burden and fulfill the law of Christ.
He says to pray for one another … to lift up the downtrodden … giving them hope and encouragement.
By obeying the Lord in these things, we are actually “sharing in His fellowship” and being drawn closer to Him, as well.
It’s surreal how He works in our lives, right?!
You’re not alone, Alley.
And God will move others to pray for you … Because He loves you.
Keep the faith – no matter what!
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/safe-be-sad/
🙏❤️
Amen ❤️
Alleycats,
Continuing to pray for God’s Mercies and swift healing for Jen. I’m hoping God can make a way for you to be together for Thanksgiving and that He Will Increase her mobility and stamina, while eradicating her pain fully. Praying God’s Miracles over you all.
Much love to you, Sis. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Please pray for the healing of my daughter who is suffering from OCD thoughts and compulsions.
Please pray for her to be released from any sort of bondage that may be affecting her.
Please pray that she gathers the strength she needs to overcome this challenge.
Hello HerMom,
Many people are fighting some kind of battle, whether physical or spiritual.
God is willing and able to help in our time of need …
Nothing is impossible with Him.
I will pray for your daughter and for you.
It’s a heavy burden to watch our loved ones go through difficult trials, especially when there’s little we can do.
But prayer IS the best and most important thing we can offer.
I don’t know much about OCD, but will leave two links for you if interested.
One is written by Alan Noble. I like to read his writings on substack and receive his “free” weekly newsletter.
I do not pay, tho, for access to all articles.
The other link is to a Biblical Counseling website. They also have some good resources on OCD.
Hopefully, prayerfully, may God lead your daughter in the right direction for healing.
Blessings, Mom.

Thank you Miss.Della.B for your prayers and links. I appreciate the additional prayers for me. My heart is comforted.

Thank you again Miss.Della.B. I am praying that God blesses you for your kindness.
Praying for your daughter’s mind to be healed and for any anxieties to be cast to The Lord for He cares for you all so much. May her faith be strengthened and His Truth grow continuously in her so that she may walk with confidence all the days of her life. May your mother heart be blessed. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Dear Jwoo, thank you for praying for my daughter. I appreciate the blessing for me too. Your kindness comforts my heart.
HerMom, your post really touched my heart. OCD runs in my family so I am very well acquainted with it. I pray for the Lord to touch your daughter & free her from the compulsive behavior that is afflicting her. I pray for the comfort of the Lord to calm her & quieten her spirit. I also pray for you as it is extremely hard to watch what this awful condition does to your loved ones. I know this first-hand. God bless you so very much.
Thank you Joe Blow for your prayers and kindness. My heart is comforted. I am sorry you are well acquainted with OCD. It is heartbreaking.
Please continue to include us in your prayers.
God bless all who are praying for my daughter, and God bless all Treepers.
Della,
It’s so good to see you here, friend. Hope your health is improving and that you’re looking forward to a peace-filled holiday. Praying too your grandson is fully healed from his stay in the hospital and that he’s having no long term effects.
Blessing on you and yours, dear sister. Love you ❤️ 🙏
Woo, stopping by to say hello – you’ve been in my mind, heart – and prayer.
My grandson is doing well and I’m so thankful.
It was ALL God Who intervened.
Not the medical team, the machines or medicine – He simply used them.
(Bless You, Lord)
I have a few thoughts for you, and will write them later today.
I love you, Woo.
May our Lord guard your heart with His peace today – and always.
🥰
Woo, I’m back with a thought … it’s been in my mind for few weeks.
I understand that every person and situation is unique.
But in some ways, we’re all alike.
I’ve learned something over the years.
And STILL learning. I’m not there yet.
Also, some very wise counsel in Christopher Ash’s book was confirmed to me by the Holy Spirit.
It has been a hard lesson, but I get it now.
Ready??
I/we are called to be our child’s mother (or father) – not their pastor or evangelist.
This does not mean to hide or deny our faith … absolutely NOT!
But after they are older – and we have trained them in the ways of the Lord, we need to let the seeds of Truth work in their hearts (lives) without nagging or reprimanding.
Ten years ago, my daughter (now 50) came to me for some advice, saying “I don’t know what to do, but NO PREACHING, MOM.”
That hurt badly, because all I can/want to tell her is the TRUTH – what God says.
But sometimes that turns them away.
They’re not ready to hear it or receive it.
Now, I focus on being a mother – doing the things mothers do to nurture, encourage, support, love.
She’s starting all over with her life right now after leaving a horrible situation.
And, I’m not opening my mouth about her choices, or giving her any Bible verses.
She knows all that.
So, I wait on the Lord.
Our daughters have only one mother – and there are others that God can and will use to reach and disciple them.
I hope this makes sense, Woo.
May the Holy Spirit help you digest – over time – what I’m trying to say.
And, this not only applies to my daughter, but my son, and grown grandchildren.
They’re all living their lives like they choose and I have to keep my words to myself.
To trust God that He will work in their lives as I fulfill the role He’s given me – a mother, not evangelist.
And, to be a Godly example – mostly without words (for now) – UNLESS they ask.
Then, with His wisdom I will speak Truth.
God continues to give me Grace – which in turn, I give to them.
Giving them grace to make their own choices, just like the Lord allows me to make mine.
And, they get to live with their consequences … which He will use to draw them to Himself.
I read a lot and Ash’s book was highly recommended.
You may be interested in reading it.
It’s written for everyone, of course, but specifically for those in their 50s and 60s, as they enter into a new season of life.
Sorry this is so long … I just want to encourage you.
I continue to pray for you and Savannah … She is in God’s hands and there’s no better place to be.
Link to book:
An excerpt from Christopher Ash’s book:
“It is, I think, helpful for parents to remember that their calling is to be parents.
That sounds obvious, so let me explain what I mean.
A mum or a dad is not the pastor of their son or daughter, or even the evangelist.
A mother is to be a mother and to maintain that motherly relationship as her sons and daughters grow.
A father is to be a father.”
A son, whether following the Lord or rejecting him, still needs his mother to be a mother.
A daughter, whether submissive or rebellious, still needs her father to be a father.
Yet in many cases, the parents’ concern for their child causes them to set aside their parental role to instead function like a pastor or evangelist—to let their spiritual concern overwhelm their familial responsibility.
It seems to me that some of the difficulties in Christian homes can be exacerbated when a parent (perhaps especially a father) defaults to behaving like an evangelist or a pastor to his errant or difficult son or daughter.
If that is your tendency, beware: you are called to be his or her father.
You are to be there as a dad.
And that relationship continues until you die.
It is therefore of the highest significance to guard and nourish those relationships.”
Hugs to you, Woo.

Hi Sweet Della,
I haven’t been able to come back to really go through this – I worked my new job 52 hours last week. It’s terrific. I am really really glad and am blessed to be there.
The part I can’t “get to” – is my Savannah.
I was driving home this week in a really bad rain – and my mother heart was so worried for her. She doesn’t drive. What was she wearing? Was she warm? Was she dry? Is she among safe people? I began lamenting to God and I got pretty animated telling Him that I was going to become the relentless widow who repeatedly torments the judge until he grants her justice. (Luke 18:1-8) I cried out to God that I NEEDED TO HEAR FROM MY DAUGHTER – I NEEDED TO HEAR HER VOICE. I NEEDED TO KNOW IT WAS HER! I NEEDED IT NOW!
I got home and checked the date stamp of her messages – brought up her phone records (which I rarely go into – so as not to make myself crazy) and started checking the sparse number of phone numbers listed. Three of them were to homeless shelters – and another mysterious one from California had over 1600 reports of spam or disreputable dialogue and that number she had been calling daily and speaking to for 40 plus minutes – I’ve no idea who… or what… it is connected to.
I texted her. I told her if she didn’t respond immediately that I would contact the police and file a missing person’s report. Told her it was not enough to just respond – that she must call me. (I was thinking it could be a person in the homeless shelter in possession of her phone. I still pay for the phone so that it will never be disconnected for her.)
Yes, I heard her voice. Yes, we talked for a while – but you know “those talks” where you are so shocked that you pause with your mouth agape and you have to absorb it to know how to respond. A lot of times, it takes days to process and to be able to pose those questions for clarification – but the opportunity to ask has passed?
These are the very worst things for her and I am experiencing a grieving I have never known before.
Savannah has been assaulted. I cannot recount here what she told me – because I have it stored in my mind and for those with softer countenances – these things should not be repeated. She did not call the police because she felt they wouldn’t help her. She was assaulted by the bad guy, she claims by his parents, and by two crack heads who tried to assault her during one of her 2 AM walks home from her job at Burger King. (She lost the Dairy Queen job – they fired her – because a girl there didn’t like her.) It was because of the 2 AM attack that the 59 year old male coworker named Rocky walked her home – and it incited anger in the bad boyfriend and his parents – that she was cheating on him with this older guy.
Upon leaving the bad boyfriend’s place – she was staying with the female coworker and her daughter – but had to leave after one week. She then went into a homeless shelter. She is now up in Frankfort, Indiana (which is a SAFER town away from the crackhead and human trafficking capital of Indiana) and now staying with her “best friend of three years”. She gave me no name. A “friend of a friend” and from that former horrible school. This is NO best friend. We were very close with each other and she never, ever, ever spoke of this guy. She’s got some twisted thinking calling these guys “fiances”, “best friends” … yet she will not NAME them. She’s had four “fiances” since May. It’s not normal, natural, or even sane. She’s completely overtaken – and thus I cannot determine which part of what she is saying is the Truth or a lie.
What struck me to the core – as if I had been burned by lightning – is that she chose to stay in homeless shelters rather than come home. You could have driven a knife right through my heart and I wouldn’t have felt it. I was crushed.
You know – I received that “welcome box” for new mothers filled with coupons and samples of infant formula. I’m wondering if she’s hiding a pregnancy? She assures me “no”, but what am I to believe? The box had her first name – but another unknown last name. She told me to throw it away. I still have it in a pantry at the behest of a dear friend who says it may come in handy later if needed.
I was not a bad Mom. I was not an abusive Mother. Towards the end, we did argue – but it was because of her uncharacteristic repetitive lying – the introduction of three different online sexual predators into our lives where she was two weeks from being lured to Louisiana, her identity was stolen, and the third one was trying to coerce her into sending him gift cards. One of the latter two – also wanted pictures of me, as well, which set me to high alarm. She had already sent inappropriate pictures of herself – but they were so innocent and ridiculous that there was nothing provocative about them – just utterly disturbing – and likely a adrenaline push by her offenders because of the “control” they managed over her. Because she was working nights and I was working days – I could not guarantee if these demons were coming to my home. They knew where she lived, her work hours, where she worked – it was a recipe for disaster.
So – dear one – I quit my horrid job, because they were terrible human beings and I simply couldn’t handle to be lied to and gaslit during the day for 9 hours and then go home and have mass chaos and Cortisol flares at home too. I was at a point that I thought I would just die. And I really, really wanted to.
Even writing this – my body responds in high anxiety.
I have walked with The Lord all my life. I have been taught when to know to step out and – as a dear mentor would put it – get out of God’s Way. This is it.
We have been under the greatest demonic attack that quite literally stole and devoured the closest person to my being and the most important relationship of my life. I am alone now. She says she likes living on her own and it is “her choice” and she is going to see it through. She has no intention of returning for the holidays – so I have been sucker punched in the gut and I can hardly breathe. I’ve been invited other places, but I can’t reconcile sitting at someone else’s table and trying to pretend to be festive when I am dying inside. I just need to be alone – and heal. Work hard. Bury myself in God’s Word and the work He Has placed before me.
BUT GOD. It is swiftly coming to pass our celebration of Christmas… our Lord and Savior’s Birthday… and I will decorate anyway. I will bless others anyway. I will put up my decorations honoring His Life and Sacrifice for us – and I will praise Him through this storm. Anyway. I will keep grabbing onto HIS HOPE and I will hang on.
I will do my best work at my new job and I will strive to become the best version of myself. I will release all claims to anyone I love, or who or what I thought I could cling to, or even to what I thought I knew. It is ALL HIS. I know He Is with me and He never will forsake me. I KNOW He is with Savannah and that she loves Him, too, so I will catch myself when it rains or snows or is difficult and I will remember how God Covers His children and His beasts of the earth and provide for them fully. He Has done so for me – time and again.
For therapy of a sort – I have joined the PEAC group – Parents of Estranged Adult Children – it’s not a fun group. I don’t recommend it and NOBODY wants to be there… but it has too many others who are also suffering from known or unknown estrangement issues. Apparently, it is now one in four people suffering from estrangement. It has become a “social movement” that is being driven, fed, and nourished by online narcissism.
I am still in Bible Study Fellowship – so my international sisters are of great support and mental distraction – focusing solely on the healing Word of God. I’m also taking some Somatic healing online meetings to just find some dedicated time to breathe.
What I DO KNOW – is there was nothing else I could have tried. I did all I could. I left nothing unturned, untried, or unsaid. I provided her the best education I could. The best faith walk I could. The best education I could. She never wanted for anything. I asked for help. It just wasn’t enough. I could not provide her a good earthly father. I could not get her to shut out the voices from social media. I could not get her to see and value what an excellent start she had with her job at Hershey’s, and her short two year plan to really strengthen and establish herself, nor could I get her to drive a car. She refused. She has to make her own choices and I know the great costs and risks to that.
And I must become “less”, so God Can become more. I’m not her preacher, but she always has a home. I loved the book you recommended “Letting Go – Rugged Love for Wayward Souls”. What a tremendous help you are. Thank you.
For those here who are struggling through the same – I recommend some of the resources I have listed herein. Don’t be an “island” through this. Seek help and God’s Wisdom on the matter. And PRAY PRAY PRAY – BECOME PERSISTENT IN PRAYER. DON’T STOP. DON’T WAIVER. DON’T RATIONALIZE. THERE’S NOTHING “RATIONAL” TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
Woo, I’m grieved that you are going through this great trial …
I’m so thankful that you know the Lord and have Him as your Salvation.
I want to respond in greater detail, but it will have to wait a bit because of busyness here.
In the meantime, I’m leaving a link – to Christian webpage of articles by professional counselors.
A wonderful resource.
Woo, I know this is hard and also traumatic.
If I might say, you are experiencing depression, anxiety,/worry, fear, betrayal, rejection, and everything in between – all rolled up in one big ball.
That’s enough to bowl anyone over.
I’ve been there.
You will make it to the other side – so, don’t despair.
Please know that you are not alone, even at times you may feel that way.
Stay busy at work, keep connected with your BSF group, and other friends as much as possible.
And, know your online friends are here, too.
And, do NOT entertain negative thoughts.
Take EVERY thought captive to the obedience of Jesus.
March those thoughts to the Throne of Grace and ask Him to help.
There He will give you Mercy and Grace.
It will never run out …
Remember God’s faithfulness to you and Savannah all these years.
He will never stop being faithful … He loves you both so much – you’re His treasured possession.
Hugs, Woo!

Praying for you both.
Praise Report
Hi friends 🧡
The new job is going very well. They are kind and take excellent care of their staff. They are respectful, profesionals, and leaders in their industry. I feel very blessed.
Thank you all so much for praying. 🙏 My love to you.
Also, I SPOKE to Savannah for the first time this evening. She hadn’t returned my texts since the 6th of November… so l was getting quite worried. The weather here is changing and I’m constantly wondering if she’s okay and warm.
There is MUCH to be prayerful over for her, so please continue to keep her safety in your intercessions. I learned some that I didn’t want to hear tonight.
Pray that my words land deeply in her heart and mind and that our prodigal will return home to safely heal.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name AMEN
Dear dear Woo,
Too many thoughts to write…; awesome!
I continue to send joy-filled thoughts and prayers to and for both you and Savannah. 💞✝️
Woo, I am so happy for you! Praise the Lord!
Still praying, and praising that God hears and answers prayers!
Dear JWoo, I am praying for you and your daughter.
Continuing prayers for you JWoo,
as the adventures of life continue to unfold, both for you and your daughter, that God richly bless you both.
Prayer Request Updates regarding my Mom, my sister, and myself.
Firstly, I definitely did the right thing by asking for prayers for Mom because when the Physical Therapist came to visit her at home right after her release from the hospital, he took one look at her and demanded that she return to the hospital and from there be placed into a rehab center, because she was in no shape to be back at home, especially living alone as she does. So, she ended up going to the hospital and being placed in rehab … and nobody bothered to tell me about the situation for an entire week! Finally, the person whom I least expected to get a phone call from called me and let me know that Mom was in rehab … I still had to track down where exactly, but at least I then understood why she was not answering her home phone when I called. And discovered that I was not the only one who was being kept in the dark about Mom and her progress and where she was.
Mom was in rehab for about two and a half weeks, is finally back at home, and is sounding much better … not in so much pain like before … but she could still REALLY USE some prayers for healing … she still does have pain, and definitely in her current condition needs an aide and/or Physical Therapist to come to the house. It does sound like she has access to a good aide, and her Physical Therapist has already shown himself to be a good one, so I’m hoping things will work out as far as that goes.
Secondly, my sister got the job … I don’t know many details, because this is the same sister who seems to take delight in repeatedly reminding me that I am not coming to her place for Thanksgiving this year. This, even after I let her know I was offering prayer support for her good health, interview success, and getting a job. I am avoiding getting involved in any arguments with her directly about Thanksgiving, but I have let Mom know the reasons why I would not even want to attend Thanksgiving at my sister’s home, and that yes it is a shame that because of it, I will not be seeing Mom for the holiday. Part of the reason I gave is that on Thanksgiving, I do not worship the turkey, the TV set, or the football game … and I certainly do not neglect to say Grace before Thanksgiving dinner. There are other reasons why it would not be a good idea for me to go, even if I were invited … serious reasons. In any case, I made it clear that instead of suffering through a Thanksgiving “celebration” in a house where apparently God was not welcome, that I would be celebrating quietly in peace and in simplicity, and thanking God, which is the whole reason for the holiday in the first place.
As for me, one reason why I haven’t been hanging around the Treehouse much or this prayer thread is because I’ve been feeling under the weather for the past two or three weeks. Still looking for work. Would still very much appreciate prayers.
Thanks to all Prayer Warriors here, and know that you all and your intentions continue to be in my prayers too.
Phoenix,
I resonate to so much that you have posted here. I’m happy to hear of your sister’s provision of a job and that your Mother has been provided a Physical Therapist who is not complacent and got her back to the hospital and into a proper rehabilitation center.
My heart grieves for the communication breakdown within your family. This is not new. As Christians who love The Lord, we can’t fathom how anyone would keep some sensitive familial information away from us… especially when they themselves have been the benefactors of our intercessory prayer and God’s Answer through His Will.
I’ve said over and over here – what an INCREDIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD we will have IN HEAVEN when we are united with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Some that we’ve bonded with here and will only likely meet in Heaven when our time comes. What an incredible bonfire that will be with music, hot chocolate, praise, and relaxation among safe friends.
As for those who don’t walk at the same Spiritual pace that we do – their time has not yet come. How sad to be blissfully ignorant of The Great Workings of our Merciful Mindful God! We cannot judge them, nor can we place our expectations upon them because they don’t conduct their lives the way we do, nor have they come to the end of themselves yet to recognize how vital and fulfilling worship is. There are many who call themselves Christians who never open The Word of God to study it and therefore follow pagan rituals because it was what was taught them. The whole Purpose of the Scriptures is for discernment of The Truth verses the counterfeit. In time, Sis. In time. Because God says in His Word – that all will be without excuse.
We yearn for our Heavenly Home, don’t we? For God’s Perfection.
I will continue to pray for you to heal well. Please make sure to take good care of yourself. Nourish yourself wisely with that which encourages your healing. I will pray, too, for a splendid job for you that will challenge you, encourage you, and that through it – God Will Provide all your needs and do so abundantly and comfortably.
Have you tried a recruiter or agency? It is how I found my job and the recruiter was so good that she thoroughly interviewed each of us – and though I was lacking in some light documents skills that the employer had fixated on – she was able to encourage them to meet me anyway – because my unique and eclectic work history was really the skillsets they were needing. Particular document contract processing could be learned with the proper aptitude and attitude.
My employer is more than I could have asked for. There’s Scripture mounted in the breakroom of this hazardous duty employer. When I came in yesterday after my Bible Study to help out – they are behind in workload and we have impending things coming this week to be proactive about – she asked me what I was learning about in Bible Study Fellowship because she “needed to get back in The Word”. There are Christians surrounding me now. I THANK GOD for disastrous employer I had and the discomfort to FORCE me to move – so I could be available for this one. What a DIVINE GOD we serve!
Your time is coming!!! I can’t wait to hear of your progress and I thank God in advance for what He Is About To Do in your life. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Thank you very much for your continuing prayers, JWoo!
They are so important, greatly appreciated, and treasured. In dealing with the family drama, I’m trying my best to handle it as directed by the Holy Spirit and in accordance with God’s Will. Sometimes this means forgiving people and loving and praying for them from a good, safe distance.
Your words regarding nourishment while healing are so relatable, as my appetite had been down for awhile and only returned to normal yesterday.
As for recruiters, in the past, they’ve given me tremendous help. This time around, the job market has been challenging. Your story about your latest placement in a Christian work setting is super encouraging and sounds awesome !!!!! Both personally and … This is exactly the kind of revival America needs as well!
Thanks again and may God continue to bless you and your loved ones!
Praying for you, Phoenix.
Thank you very much for the kindness of your prayers, HerMom!
God bless you. Praying for you and your intentions, including healing for your daughter! May she cast her cares upon the Lord, for He cares for her. Jesus, I trust in You!
Phoenix, I’m praying for you and your family.
I think it’s safe to say that we all understand a period of absence here.
We understand everyone is fighting some kind of battle.
We hold up each other when we can – and other times, we need to rest.
Keep the faith, Phoenix.
Thank you so very much for your prayers and understanding, Miss.Della.B!
Sometimes I read the threads and pray without posting. And even when I’m not here, I remember Treepers in my prayers. Praying now for you and your intentions!
Luke 18 New International Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
I need prayers please.
Praying for all the unspoken! In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Kookoo … Praying for our Gracious God to minister to you in all your ways.
He knows all things, sustains all things by His powerful Word – and He loves you.
The Lord waits for us to call on Him – and He will answer – in His perfect time and way.
May God supply all your needs now and in the days ahead, as you trust in Him.
May He shine His face upon you and give you His Peace.
May the Lord’s Blessings be upon your life, Koo.
In the name of Jesus, our Savior and King.
Praying for you!
Dear Kookooracharabioso, I am praying for you.
Praying for whatever the need is, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. God bless.
Thanks to all of you so much! The situation remained but the awfulness of it lifted off me and I was actually able to move physically (which hasn’t been common for me in recent years) and was able to get a little bit done and the fog of misery lifted off me thanks to your prayers and this morning I learned that a law was changed earlier this year that alleviates this particular problem. You all did great!👍❤️😁
Praise God for answered prayer!
My Aunt is still lingering but seems to be declining. The Priest came over today and gave her “Last Rites” (Extreme Unction or Sacrament of the Sick as we know it today). We tried to touch bases with the Priest…3 weeks ago, so I so glad it happened although I was not there….
My Aunt’s mother was devoted to Mary and the Rosary…so, as tradition holds, all should be okay as I ask St. Joseph that when her time comes, its a happy and peaceful death…
Please continue to pray for my aunt and her children….
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
The homily at church yesterday was about Thanksgiving. The priest noted he found it difficult to be thankful when things break and when he runs out of time. He tied the ideas back to our lives. Our bodies break and our time runs out, but that we can still be thankful for many blessings. He quoted someone who when asked how someone who was not doing well was doing, his response was, “She’s on the runway.”
Faith, hope snd love.
Two members of the National Guard have been shot in DC not far from the White House. One passed, the other is in critical condition. Prayers up for these brave men. So sad.
Update. Both of these brave service member have passed. Terrible.
The WVA Gov, who just said these men had died, is now saying there was confusion and the men are still alive. Crazy. Prayers for these men and their families.
I would like to say a prayer for anyone here with a family member suffering from any of the forms of dementia.
There is a terrible toll that takes place on family watching a loved one die the death of a thousand cuts. For a loved one to be physically here but less so mentally each and every day. Declining bit by bit and day by day.
I would also request prayers for my family.
After 10 years of decline from Parkinson’s Disease my mother’s time is now imminent, time measured in hours perhaps rather than days.
Thank you for the blessings of having this online community of patriots and Christians.
Praying in unity with you, Monti. For yours and for so many other spoken and unspoken prayers that come to light these holidays. May God be merciful to your Mom and I pray moments of lucidity and joy for you to cherish until we are reunited again, perfect and whole, in our Heavenly Home. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN.
I have made several unspoken prayers for you my friend and for some of our other treepers. Sincerely hope my feeble entreaties have been accepted on your behalf.
HE HEARS all of our prayers and He Holds onto them, Monti. They are sacred and MOST POWERFUL. There is nothing “feeble” in your powerful intercession.
Thank you for keeping us close to your heart and mind and offering intercession for us. I am certain that intercession is the only thing that has sustained me for this long.
Too, my daughter desperately needs those prayers. I know GOD IS WITH HER. She loves God and she has since she was a wee little thing. Something very dark is attacking many right now. We are called to pray against it.
I grieve along with you, my brother, for that which pains you… and the loss of our loved ones’ minds… in whatever shape and form that comes in… is terribly painful. I pray for The Lord’s Perfection to come, heal us all, and set us free – such as a voice calling out from under the altar of those who have been martyred for faith.
Here are samples that affirm the belief in the sacred nature of prayers and how they play a part in God’s attention. I hope it edifies and encourages you as to the reverence and blessedness of your entreaties.
Daniel 10:10-20 (NIV)
(Here, the angel Gabriel is talking with Daniel the prophet mentioning what took him so long to come to Daniel in response to Daniel’s prayer – Gabriel was in the midst of battle and was aided by fellow angel, Michael, in order to release Gabriel to do God’s bidding – which was in response to Daniel’s prayers!)
10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 11 He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”
15 While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground and was speechless. 16 Then one who looked like a man[b] touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak. I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I feel very weak. 17 How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.”
18 Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength. 19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.”
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”
20 So he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; 21 but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince.
Revelation 5:8 (NIV)
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb (Jesus) had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
Revelation 8:3-4 (NIV)
3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.
Dear Lord Heavenly Father,
I pray that you will be with Monti, his mother, and their families during this challenging time. Please wrap your arms around them and let them feel your love and please give them your comfort. Please give healings to Monti’s mother. I ask of these requests in Jesus’s mighty Name. Amen!
Amen
The Lord bless you, Monti, & may He be merciful in the passing of your mother.
Praying for you and your family.
I’m just so thankful for all of you. To see us pray for each other… then to be blessed by answers to those prayers… it keeps hope alive.
May each of you find blessings in your days.
To our God be the Glory!
Joining you in offering prayers of thanksgiving on this Thanksgiving holiday weekend to the Lord for all His goodness to us.
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning
is now and ever shall be
forever and ever
Amen
Prayer Updates:
Told my Mom that people here are praying for her and the healing of her back, spine, and vertebrae, she is grateful and can still use prayers, in particular for pain relief. The people who come to the house are doing a good job. Thanks to all Prayer Warriors here on her behalf!
Just lived through one of the strangest Thanksgiving Days ever. Last year, I spent a quiet, peaceful, relaxing Thanksgiving in Ohio attending church in the morning and enjoying a modest turkey dinner and watching old movies later on, and it was really nice. But this year?
Woke up feeling under the weather and decided the wisest thing to do would be stay home from church. Had a turkey thigh defrosting, was literally standing at the sink just about to make tea … when the power went out due to high winds. So instead of tea, I ended up using the rest of the remaining hot water from the tap to wash dishes by candlelight before the hot water tank stopped working, then had blueberry honey lavender ice cream and water for breakfast while the inside temperature dropped and I read an old bird book that had been published about 100 years ago. If I would have felt better or the weather had been better, I would have ventured outside for photos, but the storm worsened as the day progressed. And if it hadn’t have been a holiday where everything was closed, I might have tried going to a restaurant for brunch, even to just pick it up.
By the time the power came back on, several hours later, I decided it would be prudent to toss the defrosting turkey rather than cook it, since it hadn’t defrosted normally and might have been unsafe .. I wasn’t about to take a chance on it. Fortunately, there was food in the freezer that still had ice crystals and looked safe, so I ended up having a hot dog cooked with rice, okra, spinach, and butter for my Thanksgiving meal. Which I was truly grateful for because the lights were back on and the heater was up and running.
As for the job front, I have an online interview coming up on Monday. It will be my first time using Zoom for an interview, so I’m hoping it will go smoothly.
Dear Lord,
Please continue to heal the phoenix’s mother and take away her pain. Also, please help the phoenix on the job interview and please give the phoenix peace of mind. I ask of these requests in Jesus’s Name, Amen!
Thank you very much, Mr. M!
Continuing prayers for you, your father, and your brother Chad as well, that the Lord provide for each and all of your needs.
Praying in unity for both of you. God Is faithful and He hears and holds all of our prayers. ❤️ 🕊
Thank you very much for your prayers, JWoo!
Am also praying for you, your daughter Savannah, and all your loved ones.
I have no other loved ones, Phoenix. Only myself and my daughter. She was my only family. And now she’s gone, taken by the mind virus that took Elon Musk’s child. Different illness, but same disease. When is it ever enough?
May God come quickly. Our country is off the rails.
Continuously praying, but will be taking a long pause from this internet. I can’t watch The Truman Show anymore. It’s all garbage.
Praying for healing of all those with the mind virus- methinks it spreads there from the heart, but no matter- souls in danger. Be well.
I will not give up praying that your precious daughter returns to you.
Dear God in Heaven, I humbly beseech You, please dislodge the hold that Satan and his minions have over Savannah. She is Your child, Lord, and she needs You more than ever. I pray for her safety and for the protection of her soul. I pray for JWoo to have peace comfort and rest from her fight for the soul of her child. Lift her up, Lord and carry her with You. Give her strength to withstand the onslaught.
In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.
Amen Amen
✝️
Woo, imagine had Savannah gone to college.
Getting caught up with sour people … partying… getting woke … and taking up bad ideas and habits.
Often times the real world —eventually awakens the spoiled and wasted years and minds of college living.
She’ll wake up
no matter what she’s living now; I think and pray.

Dear JWoo,
I’m sorry to read what you are going through. I hope this message will try to give you encouragement. Have you read the story of Job in the Bible? I cannot understand what it is like to go through what Job went through, just the same as it is with your situation; however, I do know that God got Job through, just as I believe God will get you through. It seems as if the spiritual battles are getting more challenging. For me, I’m single and almost 40 years old. I don’t think I’ll ever get married or have a family of my own. I confess that I am jealous of my bothers and sisters in Christ that have a spouse and/or families of their own. I know that marriage and family life have their own challenges. With the way things are going in the world, I’m not sure finding a spouse and/ or having a family would be in my best interest. In any case, I hope your situation with Savannah turns out to be like the story in the Bible of the prodigal child. Dear Lord Heavenly Father, please bring healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation unto Savannah and JWoo. Please give them your protection and help in their times of need. I ask of these requests for this family in Jesus Name I pray, Amen!
I sympathize greatly with you, Mr. M. I’m on the other side of 40 & have basically given up hope of ever getting married or having a family. I have also had those feelings of jealousy. I struggle with this a lot, & it formed the basis of some very destructive things in my life before I got saved & which have continued to a lesser degree up until now.
I wish I had some great insight as to why this is for some people, but I don’t. I only know that whatever the Lord does is always right, so I try to cling to that.
Just wanted you to know you weren’t alone in this, dear brother.
Thank you Joe! Marriages and families are work. Whatever situation I am given, I need to learn to be content, and to count my blessings. God loves us, and I am grateful to have Him in my life. Merry Christmas, Joe!
Amen. Merry Christmas to you too!
I have seen the Lord answer this very kind of prayer. I have seen Him cure this very disease. I have seen a daughter come home. I have seen the wonder of God’s grace in it. I have seen His presence in the newness of her countenance.
May I offer my humble prayer for your kid, JWoo, that you may see it, too.
Father and Almighty God, for Christ’s sake, because of Him, for Your glory, let this daughter put away the filthy things of this world, and embrace our Savior, Your Son, accepting His incredible loving sacrifice for her. Let her rest in Him. Let her have a new heart in Him. Draw her, Lord, in spirit and in truth. Adopt her. We plead. We trust in Your hearing. We beg for Your doing. Let this be Your will, this soul be won. Thank You for Your grace and mercy on us. Amen
My husband is having open heart surgery Thursday. I am concerned about the effect anesthesia has on his mind. Thank you for your prayers.
Praying for a successful open heart surgery for your husband on Thursday, that the Lord will guide the decisions and movements of everyone on the medical team, that the anesthesia will be administered correctly, and will work properly without any harm or side effects. Praying also in advance for your husband’s rapid recovery and restoration to good health. Asking in Jesus’ name, Amen
Amen.
Agreeing in prayer, Amen.
Praying for you and your husband.
Update: the surgery went well. The body is adjusting to a new valve and an aneurysm was repaired. He grows less confused each day. Praise the Lord who watches over us and knows us. Thank you for your prayers.
Dear AZverano,
Thank you for your update and praise report! Continuing prayers for your husband’s recovery, and for you as well. God bless you!
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning
is now
and ever shall be
forever and ever
Amen
Praising the Lord with you, AZverano!
Thanks be to God for bringing your husband through … for His healing mercies in every way.
May He continue to strengthen and help you both in days ahead.
Blessings.
For Christ’s sake. Amen.
Pray for my husband, who just died. He served our country in the military. Pray fir me as well.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Dear MaryOk, Please accept my prayers and condolences on the loss of your husband, an American patriot who rendered valuable service to our country. May God bless you and grant you comfort in the peace of Christ.
Praying for you to be comforted by the peace of the Lord which does pass all understanding. Blessings to you, Mary.
Mary, May the Lord God hold you close, under the shelter of His wings.
May He protect you and provide for every need – physical, emotional, spiritual.
May God sustain you in all your ways in the days to come.
May His Presence and His Peace comfort you all of your life.
For Christ’s sake, Amen.
Please remember my Aunt, in your prayers…she is slowly fading, but still with us…
Bedridden for the last month, can no longer safely swallow liquids, so the dehydration will affect her. moving less in the bed…less responsive, just moans now, but still hanging on. She has had Last Rites (Extreme Unction)….Her oxygen levels are slightly lower now, but still sort of ‘ok’…not sure about other numbers…
Praying to St. Joseph for a peaceful passing…
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Yesterday, in Mass, when the basket was passed, someone had put about a two inch thick wad of $20 bills, wow!….God’s Blessings be upon that man, woman, family…asking to keep the generous in your prayers…!
Update….My Aunt, is still holding her own right now…talked today, weakly…Praying to St. Joseph, for a happy death…its been at least 5 days since she was able to take fluids…
Praying for your Aunt.
Continuing prayers …
Thank you all, as of today, Friday 12/12…, she is still with us here on earth…It has been over a week without meaningful fluid intake…
St. Joseph, take our prayers to your foster Son, that she may soon join the angles and saints in heaven. Amen.
Still praying for a peaceful passage for your aunt. She will get there. Prayers for you as well. This isn’t easy.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the wonderful prayer warriors here, who continue to pray fervently with deep faith. Amen.
Thank you all for the prayers for my mother. She left us the 24 November mentally and became unresponsive. Passed quietly this week. I would like to hold her up as an example of service, she was a caregiver for my special needs brother for 44 years.
After the last few years I found out what a challenge being a caregiver can be.
I pray for the strength and courage of the caregivers, bless them father. Appoint your angels to watch over them daily. Remember the prayer warriors in this on-line community and pour out your grace. In your precious son’s name Jesus, Jesus the only hope of man. – Amen
May her memory be Eternal, my dear brother. We love you, Monti. God’s mercy and peace on your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss Monti.
Caregivers are a special kind of people. Blessed with strength and patience unknown to many.
I pray God comforts you and your family.
Dear Monti,
Please accept my prayers and condolences on the loss of your mother, and may God bless you and all caregivers wherever they may be for your lovingkindness.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
Praying for God’s perfect peace to be with you. The Lord bless you, Monti.
Condolences on the death of your Mom. Praying for your strength.

Offering deepest sympathy to you, Monti.
May the Lord comfort and strengthen you and your family in the days ahead.
May God show you all His favor and lovingkindness for the honor and care given to your dear mother.
(He promised).

”Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise

God morning to our precious prayer warriors on this thread.
I deeply thank you for your prayers and messages and am sorry I’ve not responded to each and every one. I hold every one of you dearly in my heart and in cases where you words to posted reveal your own deep wants and needs… I pray for each of you that God Will Bless you “indeed” the way of the Prayer of Jabez.
Sometimes God Gifts us with answers of affirmation and increase… and sometimes God Gifts us with answers of “No” or “Wait” because HIS WAY Is Perfect… and our thinking is flawed for known… or sometimes… unknown… reasons. We thank God too for His unanswered prayers.
No word from kiddo for quite the while. I think I’m blocked again. Another unknown guy… another “fiance”… five now in a many months.
Strong weather here and the kitties really weirded out and alerted last night which troubled me Spiritually… no one was out there…. A friend was with me and he witnessed their alert.
God, please keep her safe, sheltered, and warm. Indwell Your Spirit within her and draw her mind to You. She is Your daughter and she’s known You and loved You since her very inception. Since she was in my womb.. she knew and responded… for she was born very high risk with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice and knotted. Since twelve weeks in utero… she was carefully carefully monitored and she did all the doctors commanded… and she listened to my words as I spoke to her within my tummy.
We were so close. None could be closer. She could… and did.. read my mind and thoughts.
She attended highly respected Christian and collegiate preparedness school for 9 years… but then tribulation happened to change our trajectory… and she got a terrible education in the “real world”.
She is capable. But she’s not thinking clearly… nor did she value the strides she had made in her own life… to lend to her great and sustaining worth.
How many of us do the same? We devalue ourselves because our blessings don’t look… or weigh… the same as we compare to our others… and we covet or measure or judge… our blessings verses “theirs”. Such a disgusting wasting of minds through social media.
Today, I come to you.. letting you know… I’m still “here”.
New job is good. Very “Band of Brothers”. The only other woman… my boss… will take some time to get her relaxed. She is very competitive and paranoid with the men .. and though in a position of worthiness… her self esteem suffers and she “attacks” others with sharp words and tones and thus alienates herself from them. I’ll work on her. She is very interested in solidarity as a “sister” with me… so I’ll gently submit and gradually work with her to soften her approach… and make it appear “her idea” to help bind us all together.
I did slip and the VP of Sales asked about my daughter. I told him the truth which was terrifying to me revealing something so sensitive so early in my new and and important job. But I also needed the permission… that should “a call” come up… to abruptly leave and take it… no matter where I am or what I’m doing.
It’s hard hard work for me… long hours.. and they’ll get significantly longer as I learn more and become more valuable to them.. I’m ever so grateful for it.
The 7 ft tall… 300 lb…. giant men I work with… who are brilliant… sturdy… monsters of men… who take apart and relocate or deconstruct the world… are funny and jovial and engaging and accepting and adopting and tormenting me with smiles and giggles. They appreciate I’m “light”, and “happy”, and”friendly”… for they feel uncertain and apprehensive around my “severe ” boss. They call her a “witch who rides a broom”…. I will be diligent to change those perceptions and soften things. I’m a buffer between now.
May GOD BE HONORED AND PRAISED in all we, or I, do. May God grant us safety and increase and growth as we raise up the youths ol who join our organization to make them… these powerful strong, deeply knowledgeable, and skilled men.
And as for you, my brothers and sisters… I leave you with the REMINDER of who YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
This is our family verse adopted at Savannah’s inception and carried with us these past 20 years.
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE… FOR HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.
I love you all. Now, I’m off to put my hands to work, baking a gift for my coworkers… for I will celebrate the season of our Savior’s humanly birth.. no matter what.
Psalm 139 NIV
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Sorry for the typos… auto correct posts its own crazy versions. I hope the intent remains. Love you. ❤️
On Christ the Solid Rock we stand… all other ground is sinking sand
I’ve missed seeing you. So glad your new job is going well. Big burly strong men with decency, are good friends to have around… jus saying 😘
I’m still praying hard, for you and Savannah. I still believe in miracles. God will keep her, I just know it.
I love you Alleycats. How is your precious Jen-girl and kitten doing? Any updates on Jen’s health. Continue to hold you all close, dear friend. For my own mental health and time, under these high demand days… I limit my online presence.
But all of our a Treepers are frequent in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️ ✝️ 🕊
Jen is doing ok. Since beginning the measured tapering off the steroids, her symptoms have been haywire from one day to the next. Something the docs said might happen with doses this high for this long. She didn’t make her goal of coming here for Thanksgiving, so Kitten and her best friend prepared a full traditional meal for them. Because her feet and legs are still badly swollen she can’t stand but for a few minutes at a time, Jen sat in a special tall chair at the island and helped with peeling and chopping. She is deeply grateful for every little thing she can do.
The docs decided 3 weeks ago to speed up the pace at which Jen came off the meds, so actually yesterday was her last dose. There was a companion regimen of antibiotics the whole time she took steroids so that is done too, thank God. It will take a few weeks for her liver to get rid of all traces of steroids, and for her body to adjust to whatever remains to be a “normal” state afterward.
We are praying the treatment worked and the cognitive gains weren’t just steroid-induced, once they discovered the iron deposits on her brain. I prayed to God to render them unable to destroy any more brain tissue. My faith has not wavered, I believe God has and continues to, heal Jen organically. She feels an almost eerie calm and peace about her condition too, even happiness really. She cannot work or maintain house, cannot drive, cannot navigate the computer beyond a child’s range, yet her daily life is filled with family and dogs, laughter and joy. Jen is aware of what she should be able to do, and to know, but her body cannot cooperate with her brain, and she is ok with it.
The wonderful news is, all of my children and grandchildren along with my remaining siblings will be together for Christmas this year. My military son is even going to fly home for a short time.
One of my more prodigal children contacted me right after Thanksgiving and asked if we could go back to the traditions we had when they were growing up, of a huge family meal from all of my recipes, where everyone gathered from early morning to late at night celebrating all day long. Jobs and family have scattered everyone over the years..
She offered up her big house, centrally located to most everyone, as the destination. She told me she really misses those days even though they were loud, crowded, and chaotic. ❤️🙏😇 This time, all I have to do is cook my traditional Christmas ham, my other daughters and grands will do the rest.
I am so thankful, so grateful, so humbled by God’s strong presence throughout these past months. It has forced me to focus in on what I can do, and not feel guilty over what I cannot do. And to stop asking – why? My whole family will be together for a single event, for the first time in a long time.. 😇
I look for the light every day. It reminds me of God’s love, and that we are indeed worthy of accepting it.
This update makes my heart glad in so many ways. Praise GOD through Whom all blessings flow. Enjoy your big, big holiday celebration. I’m so very happy for you. Will continue to pray for Jen’s full healing
So grateful for what God is doing in your family’s lives, Alley!
All of us really have NO idea this side of heaven of His majestic wonders … how He’s working all things together for our good and His glory.
But, we can – and must – trust the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.
He will work it all out – because of His compassion and endless love for you all.
Blessings.
✝️ 🙏🏻
Glad to know you are back here. Thank you for the update!
❤️
Praying for you, too, dear M
Update on my Aunt….She may go to heaven sometime today as that is how things look…but who are we humans to have an opinion…?
So again, am asking for prayers for a peaceful death and that she goes to the loving arms of our Savior and God…
And I thank all of you for your prayers for my Aunt, in the last earthly journey…and may God keep all of you, safe and healthy during this holiday time…as we meditate on the reason a little baby was born, so long ago…and how Mary kept many things, in her heart….
Praying for Joan ‘s peaceful transition into the Arms of our Savior, Jesus. What a blessed journey we all have and make to get back home to Him.
Blessings on you, Aggs.
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Around 8:50 tonight, my Aunt left this human life, to be with our Lord. Thank you all for your loving support.
Your Aunt has definitely been surrounded by prayer by the Prayer Warriors here. Please accept my condolences on your loss, and may God comfort you and yours.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
Praying for the Lord’s peace to be upon you, Aggie.
Payers for you and your family Aggie.
🙏
May your aunt rest in peace Aggie and may you also feel Gods comfort.
I am sorry for your loss. May your precious Aunt rest in peace with God.
Good evening our incredible prayer warriors, Jen needs our prayers again.
Kitten had to take her to the ER. She’s really sick and her BP is really low.
This time around Jen got in a room straight away, thank God. Kitten will call me when she knows something. Lord, I thank you for the mercy you have shown.
Prayers going up for Jen and family and for you Alleycats. Praying the doctors can find what is causing this and be able to fix it.
Praying for Jen. May God’s grace be poured on her and upon your family. We laid Mother to rest today. In her case it was a blessed release from 8 years of Parkinson’s. Mother didn’t want a graveside service but myself her brother and sister and nieces and nephews had a very simple memorial with just Amazing grace, the times for everything passages from Bible and some family rememberences. Even knowing she is now better off than us it’s still a hard go.
Bless you all and it’s now time to remember the beauty of the Lord’s creation and to war in prayer for the living. Amen. – monti
Praying that God bless you and your loved ones with hope, light, and peace in this season where we remember Christ coming into the world so that we might have life.
Thank you monti.
What a lovely legacy your mother has in you, Monti. May her memory be Eternal. Blessings
Still praying for you my friend.
Continuing in prayer for Jen. Love & blessings to you, Alley.
Thank you Joe Blow. Prayers answered. 🙏 Jen is stable enough to go home.
The ER docs were great, took her straight into a room and ordered CT, blood tests, the works. Jen’s body is experiencing a rather severe withdrawal from the steroids.
They gave some meds to support her bp, added a stronger anti-nausea med, got her good and hydrated, and took her off the Lasix for now.
I spoke to her just a bit ago. She’s hungry 😁
a good sign… ❤️ Her voice was much stronger too. Thank You, God. Thank you Warriors. ❤️
Thank you so much for the update! Great great news! Can’t tell you how happy this makes me and relief Alleycats.
May I ask prayer warriors to pray for Charlie. He’s the adult child of my good friend. He’s now in ICU with lung infection and some issues with his kidneys. My friend says he is scheduled for colonoscopy tomorrow…how that relates to anything I do not know.
Asking for prayers for my sister. She is on new medication for a hereditary heart condition and while it is helping, her emotional state is not good.
Blessings to us all on this branch and thank you to SD and adm for all they do.
Praying for Charlie & your sister, Nana. God bless.
Nana,
Praying for you and yours. Hoping your sister’s mood will lighten as her heart condition is stabilized. Praying for Charlie and that doctors will have great wisdom for his care through God’s Will and their hands, feet, and minds. May the doctors minds be so inclined and solutions found to restore Charlie’s health fully. In Jesus’s Name, AMEN
Thank you Nana.
Prayers for your sister to have peace of mind, and comfort while she heals. Father God, please guide the hands of Charlie’s providers, grant him mercy in complete healing.
Charlie’s kidneys are shutting down. They tried dialysis but his BP dropped so low they had to stop. Now on a very slow dialysis. He is sedated. He is only 47 years old, married with two young sons. Charlie needs a miracle. Thank you for prayers.
Didn’t post earlier, but have been praying for Charlie and your sister. Praying for a Christmas miracle of healing for them both, and may God bless you and all your loved ones.
Thank you the Phoenix and all who have been praying for Charlie and my sister. I will update when I know more. Blessings to all here.
Dear Nana, not sure how to pray for Charlie at this time.
May the Lord surround that family with His tender mercies and care.
I pray for your sister’s health and well-being.
May God continue to be her support and Healer.
May He make her paths straight and daily carry her burdens.
May He grant her His Peace, and shine His face upon her, Nana.
May God’s mercy and goodness follow her all the days of her life!
Lord Jesus, hear our plea …
For Christ’s sake, Amen.
Praise God! Father thank You for Your continued and unyielding mindfulness of us, Your Flock. You never waiver and we are in awe of Your Provision and Love. We thank You and pray for our friends and family… in Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Amen.
Good to hear from you. ❤️
My husband is recovering from a stroke.
Pray for him, please!
Joining you in prayer for your husband’s complete restoration to good health.
Praying for both of you.
Please pray for my husband who had his kidney removed in June due to cancer. The cancer metastasized to several areas and after 3 months of treatment, it has grown.
They changed the treatment and hopefully it will work.
It’s a long arduous process as many people here know.
Cancer is an awful and destructive disease, prayers for all going through it.
🙏 As I pray for you and your husband, Mary Jo, I want to suggest a documentary: “Cancer Is Curable Now”.
Praying for you and your husband. Praying that the new treatment helps him.
My friend Paula’s daughter has a type of turbo cancer, with two babies. We pray for peace for the family; for Jesus’ intervention.
Praying for the good health and healing of Paula’s daughter, and for many blessings on the family. Jesus, Prince of Peace, I trust in You.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. On a serious note, Heavenly Father please answer each and every prayer in this entire thread. Amen.
Asking for prayers from my marriage, which seems to be falling apart
In Christ’s precious name we ask that his grace be poured out on your marriage to heal and bind up.
If you and your wife are believers in Christ Jesus, consider doing for each other what Jesus teaches in John 13:1-17. Especially consider v17 “…you are blessed if you do them”.
Washing her feet is how I proposed to my wife 30 years ago. She said yes while washing my feet. We view foot washing as a symbol of pre-emptive forgiveness – deeply humble and loving – it’s hard to remain angry and disappointed with someone who has washed your feet. God’s best to you and your wife, Sean. Jack
You wonderful people who post here regularly are a joy to read; it’s like you have become family. Although I rarely post, I read it every day. Many of those days you are in my thoughts. God Bless You and your faith in God. My request would be for my grandchild who suffers from seizures. It has gotten serious and scary of late. She is 10 yrs old. I pray that God will heal her, as I know He can perform miracles if we ask. Have a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and us, right here.
Praying that Jesus, the Divine Physician, will bless your grandchild and heal her from seizures so that she will be completely free from them. May you and all your family enjoy a peaceful and merry Christmas!
Please agree in prayer with me for a young woman who is very special to my family, Kierra, that she would “know how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” We claim God’s promise that He is patient with us, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” Thank you!
Agreeing with you in prayer for Kierra, that she will come to know, love, and serve the Lord in this life and be happy with Him forever in Heaven, and hoping you will agree with me for a very similar prayer for my two nieces, especially for their salvation. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen
I ask for prayers for my son, whose paid for car was totaled in a rear ender by a guy with no insurance.He now has to pick up a car payment he was not prepared for.
I would help him but my own job was canceled in September.
I have Social Security and a small pension. I have no house payment and no car payment but my truck got wreaked this weekend or I would loan my son that.
I can’t afford a new payment either, going from working to SSI pays the bills but nothing is left.
So we both are truck poor right now, and need the trucks for work.
.
Pray I find a new Engineer job soon and I can then fix things for both of us.
Gid Bless Us Everyone, and Merry Christmass.
I know I am blessed with good health for my age, and my son is as well. We both have homes and means to keep them.
I just really want to continue to work for several more years, and that blessing will get us both out of a jam.
Thank you all and God Bless.
Praying for both you and your son, that the Lord provide you with transportation and work. Jesus, I trust in You.
“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.” — 1 Peter 5:10

Praying that the Precious Blood of Christ flow through your daughter’s bloodstream and heal her.
Dear Frank, I hope your daughter’s surgery went well yesterday and will be praying for her.
Gracious God, Little Leala needs You. Please touch this child and heal her.

May You be glorified in this circumstance and all of their lives.
We give thanks for Your tender mercies and compassion.
For Christ’s sake. Amen.

Dear God please release Reiner Fuellmich from German prison.
Praying for Reiner Fuellmich’s freedom with part of a Psalm for today. From Psalm 118:
In my time of trial I called out to the Lord:
he listened, and led me to freedom.
The Lord is with me,
I will fear nothing that man can do.
The Lord, my help, is with me,
and I shall look down upon my enemies.
