Upon merely glancing at all the prayer requests, its really uplifting to see.
I was saved in 7th grade (roughly 6 years ago) but these past couple of years have been lived for my own selfish wants and it has been unfulfilling, depressing, and just downright miserable. I guess my prayer request would be that I can mend my broken-ness and live for Him again. To trust in Him and live for what is good. To erase all this stinging doubt and just...be the trusting person I once was before I was left without the guidance of youth group.
Every day I am surrounded with my non-believing roommates, and co-workers. I would love to make a friend or two, so if you are here to just make a request and not looking to pray for others (like I unfortunately am...being selfish again I suppose) I would love to chat.
Thank you for reading, I appreciate it.

It's very hard for a young christian in this this age. Sure I'll pray for you!
 
I understand how you feel, and I'm glad you have opened your heart to see it before it's too late. People go their entire lives living selflishly, living how they want against the Word of God. I am on of them and I also just recently have returned to the Lord but I have been broken and there is no other cure but to follow in Christ foot steps. I deal with so many people at work that are non believers and it's really hard but I pray every morning that He's will be done through me and that He may give me wisdom and patience in dealing with those types of people, I want to lose it sometimes and say things that later I might regret therefore I won't say them and I trust in the Lord in His vengence. I will pray for the Lord to guide you, remember it starts with you, you must choose to do His will and He will work in your life, read His word, the bible to remind you what is His will, God Bless you.

As the prodigal, you were dead, but now you live. May all heaven rejoice over your return. There will be no more misery in Christ, I pray in Jesus Christ's name, amen.
 
You are never selfish when you ask for prayer and fellowship...it is very pleasing to God!
If you feel guilty...it is only the devil trying to stop you from being blessed by God.
You are God's child and He wants you to have all His good gifts.
May God bless you and keep you, may He shine His light upon you!
I will be praying for you...In His Love, Shekaniah
 
Sister, Psalm 37:4, tells us to Delight ourself in the Lord, and He will give us the (pure) desires of our heart. I encourage you to read this Song, has some good truths to meditate and guide you.

Father, I thank You that you open doors in Ariellas life that no person can close and close doors that no person can open. Give her the wisdom to walk through the open doors Your have for her. And help her be strong and courageous in the path ahead you have for her. Amen.
