Please pray for my family. My mother died last January and my dad is taking it real hard. I want to be strong and be there for him, but it is so hard sometimes. It's nice to know there is someone else who cares. [Sandy]

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer. We have decided to care for her in our home. This was a difficult choice, but I know it was the right one. Please keep us in your prayers. [Ann]

Please pray for a mother who has lost two of her grown children to cancer.

Please pray for my friend, Barbara. She lost her mother  two months ago and grieves the loss of her so much. I would like to help her but , I don't know really how. I tried many ways. Please pray for her. Thank you, Mary Jo.

I would like if you all would pray for my wife and I so we may always love one another. She recently left me and moved back home because she was homesick, and I feel so alone without her and our daughter. Please pray she will always love me, our daughter,  and our marriage. Please pray for consolation for family members of the deceased Madeline. __________________________________________

Please pray for my sister. At 20 years, she took her life,  the pain too much to bear. She should not be punished for how she died or labeled either. For she was just an innocent child just like you and me but she found it too hard to cope with what life made her deal with. Instead, God saw her unhappy face and called her up to Him. Peace at last, my love. Love always, Clare. ~ Your little sister, Marie. ________________________________________________

I need help. My mother is deathly ill and in the hospital-- everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. She may not make it, and she is so ill and frail. Her name is Molly and she has been the world to me... I love her so much my heart aches. For the last several years, I've had nothing but trauma and now I am incapacitated by a panic disorder. I feel so weak and helpless. I cannot even stay by my mother's bedside because I get panicky and frightened and must get home. Please, God, give us a miracle. I believe with all my heart that You can perform one. I cannot lose her now, Lord -- she is all I have. I beg You... give me courage. Amen, Martha.  ________________________________________________

Please say a prayer for my loved one... one who dares to love so passionately -- feels so deeply the pain of having lost someone close to him through a senseless act of brutal murder. Thank you.

I need a prayer for my sister. She just lost her husband in a terrible four-wheeling accident. He was 44 years old, a father to a son and daughter. The were a very close family and a Christian family. ~ DLP ________________________________________________

Please say a prayer for my sister with MS. Please say a prayer for a girl at work that works hard but they are laying her off due to other financial reasons. ________________________________________________

My name is Sherry. My 20-year-old daughter was killed in a car accident on May 21, 2000. Please pray for me and my family as we go through this painful process of grieving. Some days, I just don't think I am going to make it! We have a strong Christian faith and that is what is keeping us going.  Pray for her brother who is 23 and has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. This tragedy had been especially difficult for him. She was his only sister and the doctors have never been able to really find medication that keeps him stable. ________________________________________________

Please say a prayer for my beloved wife and companion who passed away on August, 13th of kidney failure and a lot of suffering being on dialysis for two years. She is with God and the angels now. She was a very religious woman and a good wife. ~ S.D. Hello, can you please put me on your prayer chain? My name is Nicole. This year I tried to kill myself in three ways: emotionally, spiritually and physically. Please pray that I will regain my mind and renew my body to be healthy in all 3 ways. It would greatly be appreciated. Thank you and God bless. Please pray for a relationship to grow. I lost my wife last May after a 10-year illness. I am trying to form a new relationship with a new partner and am having a difficult time. I get so lonely at times and I, sometimes, wonder if what I'm doing is wrong. Please pray for me, ~ Bob Two weeks ago, my beautiful baby grandson died at 14 weeks of age - 113 days. The cause of death was SIDS - an acronym for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which really means, "we don't know why your baby died." My daughter is in such pain and there is nothing I can do to ease it. Also, my mother is in the final stages of terminal cancer. She has maybe a few weeks left and is suffering physically and emotionally over the death of her first great-grandchild. Please pray for my family and for our strength to overcome the most horrible ordeal of our lives - the sudden death of our beautiful, healthy baby boy, Hunter Patrick. Thank you I am feeling so low after a breakup in a relationship that I feel I have nothing to live for, like my life is over. I am obsessing about the breakup and feel suicidal about it. Please pray for me. ~ Sam Please pray for my  two daughters, Krissy and Kathi,  and myself. We lost our beloved Rob on 7/3/00. I miss him so much, and ask God for the strength to behave in the manner that He and Rob would like. Help me to move into the next stage of life regardless of fears and anger. Thank you all and God bless. ~ Deborah Please pray for me. I am having a terrible time getting over my mom. She past away in June of 1998, and I just can't seem to get over her. Any prayers will do. Thank you very much. My first name is Lisa, and hers was Donna. God bless you. Please pray for me, Laura. I don't know how much longer I can hide my true grievance. The people at work have been great. But I can't ask more from them. Michael was my buddy. He had such a charm about him. I miss him more than I'm able to express. Thank you, Judith. Please pray for the physical, mental and spiritual healing of my aunt, Bess Kaplan. Thank you. I will always love the good people around me. They are kind and giving. They have taught me to be the same way they are. My brother was here. He reminds me of my father by his gentleness and kindness. Dad passed away five years ago today. I still miss him.  ~ Mary S. My father is dying of cancer. He is truly a spiritual man, however, he is afraid to die. I believe he is most afraid of leaving his family behind. Please pray that he will gain strength and realize that he is only leaving us in body,  that he is loved and we will meet him again. Please pray to give him peace. Please help. I have just written a lengthy message to Laura asking for her advice. I am new to prayer and am not sure I know how. I do know that the death of my father-in-law has affected my husband to the point of leaving our family. I know we are still in love, and I am desperately seeking guidance in how to help him understand that it is not our marriage that is the cause - quite the opposite. Our relationship has been a miracle for thirteen years. He has helped me raise my three children into happy, healthy individuals. Anger has taken over them since his departure in August. He left one and  a half weeks prior to the one-year anniversary of his dad's death. I am truly desperate to reunite my family to continue the love and commitment we have shared for so many years. If you wouldn't mind giving me assistance in prayer, we would all be eternally grateful. Thank you from my heart. ~ Janet J. ___________________ Please pray that my dearest love and I will overcome the obstacles forcing our separation. ~ K PLEASE PRAY FOR MY DEAR FRIEND,ANDY. HE HAS A TUMOR IN HIS ESOPHAGUS THAT MIGHT BE CANCEROUS. LET US PRAY THAT HE COMES THROUGH THIS ORDEAL WITH GOD BY HIS SIDE TO GUIDE HIM AND KEEP HIM STRONG. HELP HIS FAMILY TO BE HIS STRENGTH IN HIS TIME OF NEED. DEAR GOD, ANDY IS SUCH A GOOD PERSON PLEASE DON'T LET HIM SUFFER. LET'S HELP ANDY THROUGH THIS WITH LOTS OF PRAYER!!! I PRAY FOR MY HUSBAND'S HEALING. HE IS SAD, FRUSTRATED WITH LIFE. HE IS ALSO PHYSICALLY ILL WITH EMPHYSEMA. ~ MARY SUE I am so lonely, but I am sure others have lost a parent. I will pray for them as I am sure they will for me. ~ MEB Please pray  that God will save my marriage, stop the divorce, and send my husband home. He left 2 months ago, and I seem no closer to him coming home than I did then. I am really getting discouraged, so please pray for speed in my hsuband returning home. I really don't know if he is still dealing with the loss of our l7-year-old daughter 8 years ago or if he is having a mid-life crisis. Please pray this in Christ's name. Amen. Please pray for my son, Tony. He was in a car accident and needed surgery on liver and other oragans to stop bleeding. He then needed open heart surgery for a torn aorta. Please pray for a full recovery of body and soul. The doctors all say it was a miracle he lived. Thank you, God. Please keep the prayers coming,  they really do work. Thank you. ~ Maria Please pray for me so I will have the strength to make it through each day. Our son was born and died on Nov. 7, 2000. I have such a hole in my heart and I find it so hard to make each day. I am thankful that this website came up. I sit many nights unable to sleep and tonight, while on the computer, this website came. Thank you to all who read this and pray for us. ~ Jill I need people to pray for me to get over the grief I am feeling from losing a very good friend two months ago who died unexpectedly and suddenly from a heart attack at age 43.   I always thought I would have him (Tim) in my life, and now he's gone so young. I wonder how I will go on without him.  I also lost all of my animals within a 3-month period prior to my losing Tim - who,incidentally, brought all my animals to me 15 years ago.  And, now they're all gone - all within 6 months.  It's like a whole part of my life is just gone! It's very depressing and my grief is unbearable. Any prayers you can give will be so much appreciated. God bless us all, J.B. I work full-time, supporting my husband who cares for our 16-month-old child. I also go to school part-time.  I know I have a busy schedule but I am really having trouble dealing with my boss.  He doesn't seem to like anything I do. I am getting into trouble all the time and becoming depressed.   I have been there 2 years and the first year was great.  I need help obtaining thicker skin so the pettiness doesn't stress me out so much.  We all want positive affirmation and we spend so much time at our jobs, it is natural to expect it there, but I am not going to get it there.  I could look for a new job, but I live in a small town and a new job would require a commute, which would ultimately take me away from my baby for longer periods of time.  I want God's will in my life and until I see His will, I need strength to deal with a hostile boss. Thank you for praying.  I am a firm believer in the power of prayer.  In fact, we have our own prayer group that meets weekly.  I will add your prayer circle to ours.~ Judy Please pray for my husband, Bill, that God sends an angel down to take him home.  That all his suffering from cancer will end and he will be at peace with God. Thank you. ~ RC I would like to pray for my family, especially my Aunty Mickey, Uncle Paul and cousin Jeff as we all lost a great person in our lives: my cousin, Jason, who was killed in an car accident just a few months ago and was only 20. He was such a bright, caring person who didn't have an enemy in the world. It feels like the family is breaking down. I pray to God to give them strength and to show them that they're loved. Thank you so much. ~ Heather I would like to pray for a couple of my old friends who have gone down the road to drugs and selling themsleves. I wish I could show them the way, maybe help them pick themsleves up again, but I can't get through to them. ~ Heather I am writing about a very special man that was unfortunately lost to a terrible disease. My name is Missy and I am 30 years old. The man I am referring to was my uncle - my father's youngest brother. His name was Kelly and he was 37 when he died. He died as a result of complications from leukemia. Kelly was a father of 2 and a wonderful caring, giving young man. I like to think that I have a close family - or did, until this tradgedy struck our lives. Kelly lived 15 months almost to the day after his diagnosis. To watch someone you love deteriorate and wither away is the most heartbreaking thing a person can go through. My family has suffered greatly from this loss. Dr Laura, I would appreciate it so much if you could say a prayer for our family and ask God to help them through their grief to see the light on the other side and remember this wonderful man for all the joy he brought to our lives and move past the sadness of our loss. I believe our deceased love ones will always be alive in our hearts and souls. And he is still looking down on us and loving us. Thank you so much for this forum you have created for people to share their thoughts. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Melissa . Dear all, I came looking at this site and seeking the strength from the prayers of you all but  looking at the page of prayer requests I looked at myself and realised that like me there are so many in immediate need of the prayers, sorrows far greater and raw than mine own grief for losing my father, my husband and my dog: all passed away last year within a month apart from each other. My sorrow has been blunted somewhat but it still becomes raw and the heart bleeds often. This page is an eye-opener that the sorrow and the grief are the part of life as much as the joys and the happiness that we tend to forget in our happier moments. We too are part of the this universe and we too are going to perish one day. But love is all that will be the survivor because it is the only thing I can still feel when I think of my father, my husband and my dog. They all loved me so much. I sometimes close my eyes to experience the love. My prayers to everyone on today's page and the to the unknown people who have the heartache from grief, may we all feel the peace and the love of those who have left us. ~ Anand from India I need prayers for my family, who suffered the devastating loss of my mother. My father is having a difficult time, as am I. Your prayers would be much appreciated. ~  RM I pray that God will continue to give me the strength to face life alone.~  JR I ask for your prayers to help me through the breakup of my marriage. My husband vows that he is a Christian but he is now living with a woman and her children and we are not even legally separated. He has found a new strength in his faith, he says, but how can he think that what he is doing is okay in the eyes of God?  I pray everyday for the strength and the courage to move forward but my heart is broken.  ~  L.A. I ask God daily for three things: strength, peace, and knowledge. My heart and prayers go out NOW for the many that are feeling the same emptiness and pain as I.  God, comfort us all. And to those who don't know of God's grace daily, and particularly at a time such as this, may you be spiritually touched and directed to God's arms for comfort.  He is really there for you, all you need do is ASK.  ~ PF I pray [to] God. I pray He helps those in need. I pray that as humans we come to realize that life is not about ourself; however is about those around us. So please help one another. Next time you see a homeless person, please give him money.  Smile at the kid you run into on your way to work.   Smile at your garbage pick up man. Hold open doors for those behind you. Say "Thank you." Say "God Bless You." Say "Sorry."  Say you were wrong. Just remember life is to be lived for others.  I WOULD LIKE TO PRAY FOR ALL THOSE GOING THROUGH A ROUGH TIME IN THEIR LIFE AND THOSE DEALING WITH THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. LOOK TO THE LORD AND LOOK TO YOUR INNER SELF. YOU WILL FIND HOPE IN ALL PRAYERS.  Dear R.C.,  I will pray for you as I did for God to send me an angel to bring my husband to Him. Don't give up. I know your husband is suffering but God will not give him more than he can take.You have to let go before God will do that. Pray for strength for yourself to let Him send an angel for him. It will happen. God Bless You and your husband. Don't give up.  PLEASE PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL SOON HELP ME FIND A MATE TO SHARE MY LIFE WITH AND SOME OTHER UNSPOKEN PRAYERS. HE KNOWS MY HEART AND HE  KNOWS ALL MY NEEDS IN MY LIFE. I ASK ALL THESE THINGS IN JESUS NAME. I wake up depressed in the morning and during sleepless nights when I'm half asleep I feel a deep depression.  I know why but there isn't much I can do.  I lost a dear aunt in December - my mother's sister.   I worry about losing more loved ones as they age.  I feel a lot of anxiety over my own aging,  the passage of time,  the future.  My aunt's husband who was close to my family died in Jan. 200l.  I feel helpless, anxious, fearful, full of loss and grief over life, death, time in general and future losses.  I also feel so much painful loneliness even when I'm with other people.  I often don't want to be here on earth any more.  I have a therapist but she can't do the impossible.   I pray and meditate but don't experience any spiritual connections being made;   it's like nothing happens and no one is listening.  Please add me to your prayer list. I suffer a lot. Pray for my father, that he will believe and change for the better. Please pray for my mother, Dorothy Somerville. She has been given one to five months because of cancer. The doctors have nothing to offer as far as treatment or medications. I will pray for all of you. Sincerely, Connie S. Please pray that Whitey be lifted from alcoholism, and that all things in his life ungodly be destroyed or removed. Please pray for his reunion with Nadine that it all be soon and with the love and grace of our benevolent creator. Please pray for reconciliation for my husband JOHN and I as we are separated.  Further pray that he will ask and be open to a change of heart from the Lord and that He will send the Holy Spirit to her:  "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgements and do them." (Ezekiel 36:26, 27).   Lastly, pray that as God did to Gomer for Hosea, He will put a hedge of thorns around her:  "Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, And wall her in, So that she cannot find her paths." (Hosea 2:6) please pray for my husband JOHN salvation and please pray for the divorce to be stopped and his return home to me, his wife. In Jesus name I pray amen.  Please pray for my marriage.  My husband and I are separated.  He is very depressed and has given up on us.  Please pray for my husband JOHN to please stop the divorce. We have been separated. Pray that God will touch he and bring us back together.  Thank You. ~  Helen Lord, please help me cope with this pain, I want it to leave. Please Lord heal my leg, let me walk normal again without all this pain. Straighten my leg, mend the nerves and ligaments. Oh, Father, you know best,   sometimes situations have to happened in order which we do not understand. I feel as if my accident was meant to happen in order for me to move on; to a bigger and better job. Oh Lord I have never done anything in my Life to harm anyone, but to help others. Seems as if I seem to all ways get better and then there is another struggle or battle to fight. I am a Loving person. I love you Father, you are my Rock. Please help me get back on my feet and back in Line, where I belong. From this day until eternity. God Bless each and every soul. My sister's son, my dear nephew, died Sep 02 under mysterious circumstances.  He was found at the bottom of a swimming pool; however, drugs and/or foul play have not been ruled out. He was a brilliant student and had so many, many friends. He was my sister's entire life (her sunshine, as she says - her reason for living).  He is her only child and she lives alone.  Please pray that God will give her peace.  She is going over the past 16 years and thinks of all the things she should have done different.  She is a single parent and did the best she could; she would have given her life for him.  She is a Christian, but she feels as though God has abandoned her - questions why God allowed this to happen.  I am so worried about her.  I'm concerned she may not want to continue living.  I feel so helpless.  I don't know of any grief counseling groups in our area.  I'm not sure she would go if there were.  I know that God is the ultimate One to soothe our broken hearts.  Please plead with Him to show Himself to her and to let her know He's in control. Thank you so much.
