Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

59 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

You may have noticed the subreddit undergoing some changes recently. In an effort to give the space a reboot, things have been tidied and updated to help us operate smoothly so we can best support and encourage each other. As part of this renovation there are a few points to highlight:

  • If you have not read the rules in a while, please take a moment to review them as they have been updated and reorganized. If you wish to better understand the principles upon which our rules have been established you can also view our Statement of Faith page.
  • We have flair for praises now. You are encouraged to share your positive updates, answered prayers, and general praises. Let’s see some of those little green tags in here!
  • Our filters are fairly strict due to faith-based subreddits being common targets for trolls and scams. If your post is caught in the filter, please reach out to ModMail and it will be reviewed and appropriate action taken. (Please use the “message the mods” option at the bottom of the sidebar, not the chat feature or private messages to individual mods.)
  • Please REPORT any rule violations you see. We are a small team and reports help draw our attention to violations much more quickly. You can help keep our community safe by utilizing the reporting feature.

Speaking of which...

We are looking to expand our moderation team! The role of a moderator is to uphold and enforce the rules which have been built upon our Statement of Faith, so all applicants should be in agreement with both. If you are interested in becoming a mod, kindly send a ModMail to the subreddit answering the questions below. Please feel free to include anything else that you think may be useful to know as well.

  1. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your testimony/faith? (Such as how long you have been a Christian, if you consider yourself a particular denomination or part of any movement, or anything else which may help communicate your beliefs.)
  2. What times are you usually most active on reddit? (Please make sure to include your time zone.)
  3. Do you have any experience being a moderator on reddit or elsewhere?
  4. Why would you like to become a moderator for r/PrayerRequests?
  5. Do you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss regarding the position of moderator?

Please pray for our subreddit and its future as we seek to grow our moderation team.

Thank you all!

My aunt wants to believe

9 Upvotes

My mother and my aunt haven‘t spoken to each other for a year. My mom believes in Jesus, but my aunt doesn‘t. She is very skeptical because of her childhood.

My aunt wrote me today about God and that she wants to believe, but it seems to her as if it’s man made and she has never met jesus. I wrote about my testimony and how I‘ve met Jesus, but I fear thats not enough. Especially because she knows I still have big troubles in my life.

Would you pray for her that Jesus comes into her heart?❤️ thank you so much

Please pray for my daughter

94 Upvotes

My oldest daughter had a seizure tonight after complaining that she felt dizzy. She had never had one before. Her mom brought her to the hospital and after a CT scan, they found a 5cm mass in her brain. She lost consciousness soon after and they forced a tube down her throat so she can breathe. They then airlifted her to a hospital in Baton Rouge.

I was on a drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico when this happened so they got a special flight to send me in.

I'm currently in Galveston, waiting on a ferry, trying to make my way to see her. I've never been so scared before. Please, help me pray for her. Her name is Violet and she's only 17 years old.

Prayer for my boyfriend who is struggling with his faith

16 Upvotes

Please, I desperately need prayers. My boyfriend is struggling with his faith.

He wants to know and feel God but is struggling. He believes himself to be too logical, and needs to understand everything to fully believe. And just how to believe.

I keep praying and fasting for him, but I’d appreciate any additional prayer to let the seed in him grow, and for God to soften his mind and heart to fully accept Jesus as his savior.

Thank you.

Interview Prayer request

3 Upvotes

I believe in the power of prayer, and I’m hoping to receive prayers as I step into this new opportunity. I am currently employed and have applied for a part-time position within my company. I recently received a call for an interview, and I’m feeling excited, scared, and blessed all at the same time. I’m asking for prayers to guide me through the interview, give me confidence, and provide me with clarity and wisdom as I consider taking this leap of faith. I pray that God guides my steps and leads me in the direction He has planned for me. 🙏🏽❤️

Prayer for discernment

• Upvotes

I don’t feel worthy of anyone’s prayers because my situation doesn’t seem that bad, but I feel like I’m going around in circles and whilst I do feel grateful for what I have in my life, what I thought was the big reset that my husband and I had prayed for for so long, hasn’t turned out that way at all and it’s hugely disappointing. When we prayed for a reset we kept our request completely open, “your will be done” kind of thing. It’s a long story but we moved from two narrowboats to a huge farmhouse to start a new life. The house comes with the job my husband took 3 months ago, and the job has not turned out to be what he expected. The hours are way too much, with loads of 24/7 on call, and it is affecting his mental health really badly, he’s not sleeping and has a lot of anticipatory anxiety about the plant he manages breaking down at all hours. We still have the boats in the next county, but I’m struggling with the prospect of going back as we were so hopeful for this. We have been trying to find a way to sell the boats to move on to something new for a long time now, about 3 years, and we really thought this was it. God tells me he’s with me, and I know this, but I’m really confused for the future. I am also dealing with a full time job (90 mile commute per day), menopause and elderly parents (3 hours drive away). I just feel trapped in a dilemma of having to make ourselves homeless if we ever want to try and move off the boats.. while still holding down a full time job etc. We don’t have the money to rent somewhere and pay for our boat moorings until they are sold. I don’t know. I’m just sick of my mind going round and round all day long trying to work out how to change our situation without really messing things up. I really thought this was the reset, but now I don’t think it is. I know God does everything for a reason, but I’m confused by all of this. What’s the message here? I don’t want my marriage to suffer, but things are and have been strained recently. It’s not my husband’s fault about the job, we don’t feel he was told all the facts. It’s just a huge disappointing situation. I haven’t felt this sad since we split up temporarily years ago!! But the one thing I can look forward to about going back to the boats is rejoining our old church and having a shorter commute again. So there are silver linings. I just feel desperately disappointed and flat and like I’m back at square one. I thought this move was blessed, but it was clearly too good to be true and I feel like we’ve been naive. Prayers for clarity and a solid plan would be so appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏼😔

Fake dopamines from porn

5 Upvotes

no matter how much head knowledge you have in this subject, it’s still very, very, very hard to resist. Whenever I am stressed out or experiencing discomfort, porn is becoming my go to get those fake dopamines. It’s a never ending cycle stress-porn-relieve through masturbation-guilt. I hate this, Please pray for me as this is the area where I am the most weak. If someone is willing to be my accountability partner on this-I am very much happy to pray and fight for your struggles too. Thank you all brothers and sisters in Christ. All I want to do is to be in alignment of God’s will and gave him the highest glory possible in the one life that he gave me-and porn is becoming my biggest stumbling block.
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16

I am battling lust after men and it's causing me feeling low and feeling spirituality weak. It is also compounded by sexual spiritual demons attacking me at night in my sleep. When I wake up, I feel so violated. I need year help in prayers.

Please pray for God to have mercy on me

11 Upvotes

Since I started posting here on this thread, my life has changed in many ways. I've been writer for over ten years, but the Holy Spirit has drawn me to use my gifts for His will. So much so, that I may be interested in writing prayer books eventually. We shall see. But, I started praying for users here in September, and since then, I've grown a lot personally through God, but, I've also faced tribulation like none I have ever faced before. I've been mentally and spiritually attacked by my closest family members, friends; doctors, and demons. Female clients at my job have made sexual advancements towards me. It feels like the world had set its wicked eye so as to destroy my vision. I've witnessed good things as well. People, or perhaps some are angels, have guided me in my footsteps, and the Lord has lit the way with His lamp. But, that being said, the enemy personally attacked my girlfriend and her son, which through prayer, I alleviated the situation, through God of course.

I want to continue this journey, but I need your help. Soon, with that said,​ I would really like to ask for some prayer from this community, because I want to continue praying for poster's, but that little extra help would be nice. I appreciate all who pray for me. Blessings. 🙏

URGENT PRAYER: Video Recovery and Protection for My BrotherURGENT PRAYER: Video Recovery and Protection for My Brother

11 Upvotes

Please pray for my brother and me. We spent over an hour recording a video for work, and when we finished, I accidentally unplugged the camera before stopping the recording. Now the file won’t open. Please pray we can get it fixed and recover the full video.

My brother is really frustrated and said he wants to get drunk tonight. I’m honestly worried about him being out tonight. I could feel his anxiety while we were recording, and I got anxious too. In the middle of that, I forgot to stop the recording before unplugging the camera.

Please pray for God to give him peace, protect him, and bring him home safely. Please also pray against any spiritual warfare and for peace over our family. I’m feeling overwhelmed and would really appreciate your prayers for him and for the video to be restored.
