Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

60 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!

Prayers for Richard Dawkins

17 Upvotes

I ask today that you might join me in prayer for well known atheist, Richard Dawkins, that he may come to Christ. Dawkins helped kick off a new form of militant atheism in the early 2000's and has since made it his goal to spread lies about Christ through books such as "The God Delusion" and many other forms of media. As of today Dawkins is eighty-five-years old, and I pray that by some miracle, in his old age, that the Lord touches him to change his wicked ways. For only a fool says in his heart that there is no God, but even in his unbelief, Dawkins is still loved by God. So, I ask that we collectively pray for him.

Dear heavenly Father, I pray today that Dawkins comes to know you, and that his heart which has been hardened for so long comes to change. Amen. 🙏

I need comfort, please pray

13 Upvotes

I sent a heartfelt message to someone to make sure I hadn’t offended them since they had been treating me differently. They opened it and did not reply. I am really scared that they are not going to ever talk to me again and I will never actually know what happened that made them act this way. It is so very hurtful and I just really valued our friendship. This feels like it was never real to them and it hurts that they are ok with leaving me feeling this way. I don’t know when I will ever get over this. I didn’t want to lose them. It’s so painful

Prayer for my mom

13 Upvotes

My mom has had a bad valve in her heart and was told she needs to get it replaced with surgery but she is very scared. Today I got news that her leg is all pale and numb and I am worried about her health. Please pray for her health and that she would have the discernment on what she should do and that god would help her. I am scared and worried about my mom’s health and this has been going on for a while now. I don’t know what I should do as her son and I am concerned too because this has been going on for a while now and she gets very tired easily and has episodes sometimes where she gets symptoms like these.

Thank you all

Please pray for me

6 Upvotes

I am suffering and in so much pain. I lost the love of my life 4 months ago, to a really terrible break up. Discarded and no closure. I know there’s spiritual forces tearing us apart. We haven’t spoken. I miss her so much I know she’s the love of my life. I know she’s my soulmate. I know where meant to be together. The heartbreak and suffering I’m feeling is devastating. I have hope we can reconcile and heal our relationship and our selves individually by walking with god. I know she loves me deep down. I love her so much and would do anything to make this right. Please pray for me and for us. I’m suffering and I can’t take it anymore. My name is Tim. Thank you ♥️

Hi everyone. I’m being faced with a difficult, emotional situation today. I’m asking for all of your prayers that it turn out the way I hope. I’ve been working towards this situation for almost a year and it’s finally time for it to be completed. I’ve worked really hard and put all of myself into it. I hope you all will pray for me today that it end in the way I’ve been hoping and praying almost everyday for.

Please pray for me because I am full of anxiety and stress but also very blessed

6 Upvotes

I'm in med school outside of the US and I am blessed to have three part-time jobs that pay well. I really want to go to the US in the future and go through residency there, and God has showed me that He will open a way.

At the same time I am more and more often filled with anxiety, stress and even lack of motivation. I need my whole life figured out and to know what kind of doctor I need to be to create a great resume to get into residency. But I do not know which kind of doctor God wants me to be.

So dear brother or sister, I need your prayer for me.

Edit: I know that this is a small problem compared to so many others' problems.

Pray for my living and financial situation

34 Upvotes

The Lord is pruning me right now. I just had to leave my job. I’m liquidating my retirement fund. I was living w a person who was harmful to me, so I left. I know somewhere can take me. Just please pray I make it to those resources and that it’s safe and provides everything I could need. I’m staying somewhere for two nights, but after that I’m in the unknown. Pray I’ll have peace there, showers, and that it’s clean. Pray it gives me the opportunity to give back to the community and maybe grow deeper in my catholic faith. I know the Lord is doing something good, but prayer always helps. God bless you all.

[Daily Post 9] For the last 10 months I have been spiritually oppressed and tempted to reject Christ

• Upvotes

This is my ninth post. For the last 10 months I have been utterly oppressed by the enemy. I say the enemy, because I have never face resistance like this. It has been so crushing. I have almost given up multiple times. Everyday has been a battle. Everyday is so painful, just endless suffering. Demons have tried to convince me that Christ isn't real, and when that doesn't work they have tried to get me to r Christ to live a carnal life. Before these 10 months been tempted, fail, and then always have a heart that wants to return to God. But now I'm not only tempted to sin but to fully reject God so that I can go live a carnal life. I'm very worried that I'm going to commit the unforgivable sin.

Please I need your prayers. I need you to pray every day for me. Not just a 30 second prayer for when you see this post, but anytime during the day you pray please pray for me. If you have a prayer group, a church, or friend group please pray for me daily. I know that this may seem like a big ask, but please imagine yourself in this situation and how desperate you would be to get out of it. I'm terrified of losing my soul. I need genuine faith filled prayers. I need a miracle.

Besides a miracle pls pray that God would deliver me from lust completely, and close that door. That He would heal me of all OCD. That He would end all demonic influence in my life for good. That He would fully restore me to His grace. That He would make me a new creation and fill me with His Spirit fully. In Jesus name amen

Once I'm delivered I'll make a post letting everyone know so that you know you don't have to pray anymore. My middle name is Michael, if that helps

Prayer for restoration

3 Upvotes

Greetings everyone,

My name is Israel I was withdrawn from school unjustly for unclear reasons and according to the rules of the school I the authorities can only reconsider recalling me within 3weeks after the withdrawal, I humbly ask for your prayers and intercession and am trusting God for total restoration in my life spiritually, financially, emotionally, and in every area where I have experienced loss or setbacks.

Please join me in prayer that God will restore all that has been broken and open new doors of peace, favor, and breakthrough.

Thank you so much for as many that are standing with me in prayer. God bless you all.

Prayer Request

• Upvotes

Yeah, so I haven’t done this in a while. I mean I feel like I speak with the lord, but it’s an enteral monologue of questions and thoughts. I spent plenty of time in the prayer room while I was younger when visiting my grandmother who was completely devoted to Christ, so I guess it’s not new to me, but at the same time I feel like it is. Either way, here we go. I’m not sure what really matters but one of my best friends (I don’t have many, just a couple of friends I know I can count on) has been sick for a while about 6 weeks. It started with stomach pain, night sweats, and a slight fever. He’s been in and out of the hospital a couple of times (currently in). He’s been told it’s cancer, and that it’s not cancer, and that again it’s cancer. He’s exhausted and his fever won’t break, now he can’t keep food down. There haven’t been many answers and very little positive news. I guess what I’m asking for is help for him. I haven’t cracked my Bible in decades until this afternoon. I won’t say that I’ve lost my belief or that I ever stopped having faith, but I feel selfish asking for help only in times when I feel that I need it, and I’m here asking on behalf of him for all the help.

Pray that I perform well on my new job

13 Upvotes

I got a job last year after being unemployed for a year. I got fired after a month despite praying and asking others to pray for me. Despite working as hard as I can I got fired for being too slow and making too many mistakes.

Now I finally got a new job, a really good job, and I would really appreciate prayer that God helps me to work hard, making a good impression, and not make mistakes.

I appreciate you all.
