Online Prayer Requests

[Bright Raven]

I need prayer that the Lord gives me wisdom on what to do next.

Uncontrollable blood pressure for years now. 200+/115+ or 40/50 and obviously end up in the ER.
None of the BP meds help, they raise my BP and all lowers my heart beat but not the BP (which doctors can't figure out why).

Praise the Lord for all faithful ones who are always going boldly to the throne of grace in times of need.

Thank you for helping me pray.

Praying with you that doctors are given extraordinary wisdom to come up with a solution to your medical problem. May God give you peace

In Jesus name.

That was lovely, George.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
fullness of God in helpless Babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save.
'Til on the cross as Jesus died, the
wrath of God was satisfied.
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid; here in
the death of Christ I live.

Please pray to my country Cameroon because youths have taken the lead in alcohol abusive consumption.

Father,

We pray for that continent whose heart is dark and demonized. We thank You for your many servants who are there and teach the Good News of Jesus Christ. Many are still being martyred for their testimony.

Thank You for our brother Sirayuk in Cameroon. We ask you to guide him, protect him, and lead him to those who are thirsty for God's Word.

We pray for the young people of that country to awaken to God and His purpose for their lives. May they love their families and be filled with ambition and direction for themselves and their country. We pray for their leadership, with other countries, to wipe Boko Haram from the face of Africa forever.

In Jesus' name, Amen

Hello Everyone, it has been a while. I believe I was on here after my Dad had passed and since then I have been bitten by grief. My boyfriend/Fiance passed away last year unexpectedly and let me say it totally stinks. I hope I can get back on here and get back into the swing of things. Please keep me in your prayers to keep being strong.

Thanks,
Sharri

This helps.

Big time...

Years ago, I found myself in the midst of a personally powerful negative emotional storm that threatened to cripple me, should I allow it to.

Right then and there I made a decision to keep my mind focused on what can be the Believer's reality, no matter what might cone his or her way, if he or she will simply determine to keep his or her heart (mind) REPEATEDLY focused on the following.

And that is what I did - I DETERMINED to REPEATEDLY STAY focused on THE ABSOLUTE FACT of how THAT...

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Didn't solve my circumstances.

But I'd not been after that.

I'd been after being able to soon say 'it is well with my soul...'

Sometime, later, while fellowshipping with a famous Evangelist at his home, his wife walked in to inform him someone was on the phone with news about someone who had committed suicide.

At which point, he excused himself for a minute - but just before he left the room, he said to me "I've never understood how someone who knows the Lord, can ever...be depressed."

I understood exactly what he meant.

Because Romans 5:6-8.

Was in the ER about a month ago with BP 250/130. They tried a couple of different meds, one almost killed me, the other did not do anything. They assumed that it was the medicine that was causing the BP uncontrollability. More than a year in this particular med and every time I told the doctor the BP was high he kept on increasing the meds.

Doctor said I had to stay in the hospital for observation.

By the infinite grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross of Calvary, I am still here. Was able to testify to one of the nurses and clear up a couple of questions she had. One other nurse told me her husband (39 years old) has heart problems and uncontrollable BP and they have not been able to figure it out either. He has had a couple of heart attacks. I told her that every time I remember her (for the life of me I do not asked her name; however, the Lord knows her) I would pray for her and her family. I am asking that when you remember, you also pray for her and her situation. Thank you.

I have been put in another med, it is better, but still get into the 200s all of a sudden without doing anything.

Went to heart doctor and he said, 'this is not a heart problem', but he gives me BP meds anyway.

I have so much to be thankful for though, starting with I am saved and only good things after that no matter the circumstances.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Just a little update for those wondering.

Just a little update for those wondering.

I was wondering! Thanks for the update.
I believe this problem will be solved.

"Father, we thank You for the knowledge, by Your Spirit, that our problems are small compared to what You have done for us. Nevertheless You have asked us to make requests according to our heart's desire. We ask to see this delicate balance of life restored to our brother for Your glory and we wait upon You for it. Bless those who dedicate their lives to helping others and bless this nurse and her family according to Your riches in glory by Christ."

A person I know who has been stricken with Parkinsons has had an awful time with certain doctors. Her case was exacerbated by a colon infection and a urinary tract infection, chronic illnesses that went undetected for years making treatment impossible. She is now much, much better. It just points out that any doctor can miss things.
Don't give up. There will be a solution. You may have to do some digging on your own.

Blessings

New prayer request for a friend. A couple of years ago (approximately) she had a real bad skiing accident in Italy. She was standing at the bottom of the trail and someone else bumped her so bad breaking her leg, her arm, her hand. She was operated in Italy, came back home, and have been having problems with her leg. Six months ago (don't remember how it started) she went to a doctor in Boston and the doctor said that she needed to have the leg fixed because what they did in Italy was not the right thing for the amount of damage to her leg (they simply put a metal bar with screws and the weight was being carried over the screws which were bent and about to break), her bones did not heal at all. She is in her 70s.

She did have her operation last week (she said she felt so much better) and she just called me to say that she received bad news and when I asked her, she said that she has a bacteria (didn't tell me which one) probably about a year in her leg and that is the reason why her leg is so red and inflamed and not looking good because probably the operation spread it. Don't know how to really explain it.

She is not a Christian, however, I know that the sun shines on the just and the unjust and I know that nothing that happens goes to waste with the Lord and He will bring this to His glory somehow. We have started a prayer chain around here.

I ask the Lord that His will be done, that He reveals Himself to her, and that she accepts Him and what He did at the Cross of Calvary for her, that she puts her trust in Him and Him alone.

Thank you for all those who will pray and boldly go into the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need and Him in His infinite mercy reach her and brings her to Him.

On my side, I continue with the BP problems. It does not matter if I take BP meds or not. I told my doctor that I would stop all BP meds because I do not believe it is helping me but harming. The BP still goes high all of a sudden, even when I am sleeping and it wakes me up, but it has not reach the 200s+ as with the BP meds. I believe that I had the retina detachment because of the BP meds at that time. I need to travel next year, however, I am concerned that with this BP will not be able to do so. Very frustrating. Thank you all for all your prayers. May the Lord bless you, protect you, guard you of all the wiles of the enemy, and may He be glorified by our attitude toward Him while we go through trying times.

Thanks for the update on your health. Just as a shot in the dark...are you allergic to, or have a sensitivity to, monosodium glutamate? I have realized that this toxic substance very much affects my BP and can trigger hypertension in some people. When I was younger I had an experience after having a dinner at a Texas steakhouse. About 3 in the morning I woke up with a racing heartbeat, nervousness, and sweats. I almost called 911 because I thought I was having a heart attack.
During the next few weeks I tried to make sense of it. I then remembered watching the chefs at the open barbecue pit cooking the steaks. (It was the best and tenderest I had ever tasted). They were using large salt shaking cans to liberally coat the cooking meat. This did not make sense to me because I know that meat usually turns tough when salted during cooking. I finally found out it wasn't salt; they were using tenderizer! Monosodium glutamate!
From then on I watched myself closely when I had potato chips or Chinese food. Sure enough, the same symptoms (hypertension) but milder depending on the quantity. Now I make sure I have none as best I can. Although, I know the industry can hide it too. Check out the web for ways it is hidden in the foods we eat.

Blessings to you and prayers for your friend.
