Prayer for my friend Marvin who needs a new job. Currently work parttime for a grocery store and needs full time employment and an increase of salary. Or just another job opportunity with increase in salary. Was layed off at another job and is waiting on unemployment benefits to be approved and is facing an eviction notice. So he has alot of needs but a great person with a great heart for the things of GOD. Just needs another chance.

I would just like prayer because my company laid off approximately 500 people within one department. In our department, three were impacted and three were not. I fall into the category of a person that did not lose my job. My fellow peers are angry, sad and frustrated at us that are still holding jobs. I need prayer that those that remain would stand strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Please pray that the enemy would not turn this into a race situation for those that remain. That those that would remain would give out compassion and love and assist the company in helping others and ourselves. It seems that our peers are now our enemies and are doing and saying some very disheartening words. I do recognize the enemy and I am praying that his plans would be cancelled. We are having to justify why we still have jobs and none of us know how leadership decided who would stay and who would leave. I know from whence cometh my help...And that those that loss jobs would be blessed to get new

I have been separated three years from my husband and on an occasion when I decided to go back to him. God commanded me to wait in a dream. Since that day, my husband doesnt believe the dream is from God and is now in my opinion giving me an ultimatum. I am still do not have a 100 percent peace about us getting back together. So tonight he explained to me how he was feeling and that he doesnt believe (short version) that God has to tell me what to do, he says all I have to do is get back with him if i love him and want to be with him. I believe differently. I believe because we have had sooooo many problems in our marriage that we need to hear the voice of God to tell us what to do and how to approach our restoration. I do love him despite what has happened but i also dont want to be a fool. I am looking for change such as he is no longer drinking/and going to church doesnt have to be our church, he can go to any church that has Jesus in it and that he is not emotionally mean to me. He is honest with me and says that he will stop drinking 50%, he may go to church 50% and that the emotional stuff will only stop when he and I are together working towards that common goal. So my questions to God are how do I know? Do i take him back regardless to whether or not he has changed or not? He may have changed and I just dont know it? I am still confused but i dont want to be disobedient either if God is really saying that he will restore and that he wants me to get back with him now. I also need prayer for my son. My son is 14 and is facing a series of issues that have confronted him and are proving to be dangerous. My son attended a going away party for a young girl that he has know since nursery school who is going to boarding school for high school. At the party, she showed more attention to him than her exboyfriend and apparently he was mad. The party happenend in July. On friday, september 19th, my son attended a catholic school dance that he was invited too and while at the dance, the boy from the party in july bumped him. My son did not immediately recognize the boy but the boy knew who my son was. The boy is large in size and somewhat towers over my son. my son bumped him back. Words were exchanged. The party ended. On saturday, september 20th, my son was sent a facebook message by this book and showed the message to me and it said "hey b" I dont want to be your friend but you almost got you behind (not the word) kicked at the dance. My son did not respond to the facebook message. To me this a sign of a huge problem and I believe that it is getting out of hand. We only know the boys name as Marqui/Marquis or Amira's exboyfriend. So I have been praying for divine protection, both spiritually and physically. My son senses danger but doesnt really know what to do as he cant remember what the boy looks like and he is concerned and trying not to be afraid. God told me to fast. So I began my fast yesterday and I am asking for prayer as well. My son's name is Aaron. Thank you.

I have been separated for about two years and half years since the death of my father. I have lived in a non-intimate relationship with my husband for about one year and half. I had allowed some very terrible things to occur in our marriage because I really wanted to be with him so I just let him do pretty much of anything that he wanted to do. I allowed him to cheat on me on two occasions and I just turned my eye. I put myself in a compromising position with God and I have since repented for the deeds in my marriage. I honestly believed for some time that I was suppose to stay with him - u know for better or for worse. I had been told by my pastor to get a divorce but I ignored him and didnt. I am in counseling right now and it is really helping me to get my life together. My husband wants me to get back with him but I dont trust him or myself for that matter. So he has given me an ultimatum. He believes that I am wrong and that I am not hearing from God and that i should take him back and accept him for better or for worse. He is asking me to put him first above my mom and children. I think he also thinks he comes before GOD too. I on the other hand do not believe that it is God's will for me to be in a relationship where i will risk all and do all for a man. I have so grown through God';s grace that I am different. I am able to say no, I am able to say that isnt right and I am able to stand on my own. But I dont want God to be mad at me if I dont get back with him. I dont believe God wants me to be a doormat. My self esteem is better and self image is better too. Please pray for me as I am praying for myself that I make the right decision for my life and that I have a peace about it and Gods assurance that I am doing his will and not my own.

Just need prayer for my daughter. She is away in law school in Chicago and has been dating a young man for about 6 mths. She wants God's direction in that some confusion has entered the relationship from his ex-girlfriend and her friends and although she cares for him, she still doesnt like the drama that seems to be getting started. There is an age gap between him and her. She is 23 and he is 30. Please pray along with me for God;s protection for her against these women and for God's wisdom in her decision on their relationship. And that God would remove him out of her life if he isnt the one for her. She told me mom if he isnt the one, I will walk away. But up until this confusion began, she had not considered walking away. Please pray that God will give her discernment, wisdom, understand, revelation in this situation. Thanks

Please pray for my family and I and other families that are experiencing high winds and power outages. There is a tree that has been uprooted and is laying on a wire that two doors down the street from our home and the actual tree that is holding the power and wires has been uprooted as well. Please pray that Pepco will attempt to either cut the tree or repair the wire. Our street has been blocked off but we have not been evacuated from our homes. The winds in our area have caused at least one death and one child was critically injured. We live in Washington DC/border line of Silver Spring MD Everyone have a blessed and happy new years

Thank you again for all your prayers of agreement. I have been reading Psalm 46 and Psalm 91 as the Lord gave me those. I will add Psalm 71 and anoint my home as well. As for the tips on home safety, these are great and I will take the time to read them.

History: After the death of my father, I moved in with my mother who has parkinsons disease that is controlled and walks with a cane. Only her and I live in the home along with my son and daughter who visits from college. I have lived here two years. Last month, our burglar alarm system went off (3:30am) and at the time I was living in the basement and I ran upstairs and went in the room with my mom and closed her door. My mom started becoming hysterical as I talked to the police until they arrived on the phone. My mom kept saying that she was hearing male voices in the house and that it sounded like hispanics. The police came out and checked out our place, around the back of our house and in our house. The burglar company stated that the alarm went off because of glass detection - whatever that means. Than last night, I was awaken at 2:20am in the morning by a friends text message and I woke up and looked at it and I heard outside my window a male's voice so I cut all the lights on in the house and began to pray. I pleaded the blood of jesus all around the house and I prayed to God because at the time of the first event, I was skeptical of my the voices that my mother was hearing but I no longer feel that way because I heard a male voice and it wasnt the television. So I stayed up until around 4:00am praying to God and pleading the blood of Jesus. Since that day, I have been unable to sleep through the night. I am always up checking the house out, praying, pleading the blood, dispatching angels and than I rest. There are times when I have to leave my mom home alone at night and I am concerned for her safety because she is slow in walking but is alert in the mind. She stays home all day and I call periodically while at work to check on her and her safety. I just want prayer on safety and direction for us in our home and that we are trusting God every step of the way. We are going to get more lights (motion) outside our home so it is less dark. Just need prayer for our minds, both mom and me and my children and for our lives - safety, protection, as god promised in his word. I am also reminded of his protection thus far - when there was a fire next door - he alerted my mom and she alerted me and we were able to get out and he preserved her home and the lives of mom,me, son. Than when we had someone not fix our roof properly, and it rained and the roof caved in - her preserved our lives again and for three mths we lived in a hotel as they renovated her home. This is just another chance for us to see his glory. Thanks for anyone's prayers in advance.

Just a quick reply to say that prayer does work. I had the meeting with my boss and i learned that the opinion scores for nov/dec that are under 80% will not be counted against my team but at the same time in Jan - the ones that are under 80% will result in corrective action. I have never had corrective action in the four years at this company for anything. So my prayer is that i would continue to pray and invite the Holy Spirit into the environment of my classroom and that i would allow him to lead me and guide me while I train so that I am engaging the learner to learn.

I work as a trainer for a telecommunications company in maryland. We are the middle of transition being as though we have been combined with another team. The department that we support has merged as well. We were facilitating transition training to people who were losing their jobs, being demoted, changing jobs from within and who didnt think training was necessary. My opinion scores have always been high, throughout 2008 - they were extremely high scores and I never worried about them. Just recently, I received low opinion scores and now my supervisor wants to have a meeting with me about them. I honestly dont know what to tell her plus I am angry that she is having the meeting with me. I dont feel that the opinion scores should sway towards my ability to train. the new director that merged with feels differently. Most of my comments were related as tolos is a good trainer, she made sure I understood the systems and processing but I don't feel as though this class was pertinent to me because of the position that I am in within this deaprtment. So how do i get my scores to go up. I train from experience and knowing the curriculum. I stay long hours at work to make sure that I am prepared and meeting the needs of the people that I train and I still am being judged by the opinions of others (from people who are mad about the transition and their friends losing their jobs) My boss wants me to give her an explanation for why my scores are low and honestly I dont know why they are low. I have never been faced with this predicament before and than she wants me to come up with a plan to get higher scores. I honestly dont know what to do. I prayed about it and God gave me Psalms 121 but than I am concerned because this new director seems to be really concerned about scores to the point that if I dont raise mine, I could be displaced. So I need the saints to pray that I changed my training style, become more creative, trust in God more, and please the audience that I am assigned (although I dont like how that sounds) I pray everyday before i go in class that I would satisfy God's audience with my training and I have seen God do some miraculous stuff inside of a classroom.

Thank you for the research that you gave me Connie. It does help me to understand fully the condition. I am seeing a Corneal Specialist who is using steriod eye drops and restasis to assist in this condition

Thank you for your prayers everyone. I really appreciate them.

In November, i was diagnosed with severe corneal abrasions in both eyes. I was given an antibotic and sent home. I had repeated follow up visits with my eye doctor to see if the infection was clearing up. So last week, I woke up and my eyes were red again and I went to the eye doctor who told me that he misdiagnosed me and now he thinks its a viral infection and he mentioned keratis, or keroconjunctivitis and than he mentioned possible herpes simplex I infection. I immediately became upset and told him that I didnt have herpes and that I regularly see my gynecologist and I am tested regularly. I even told him that I had been tested for that disease in jan and the results were negative. he still emphatically said it could be any of the names and still included that one. He then sent me to a cornea specialist who diagnosed the condition as keratis or keroconjunctivitis. I asked him was it viral and he said it was too much inflammation to really tell but when I looked up the definition of keratis - this disease carries with it many definitions. I am in the middle of a divorce and I have been in great trials. Either way, I am believing that I do not have this keratitis or keroconjunctivitis or herpes simplex infection in my eyes. I have only had one partner (my husband) I explained to the doctor that I have never had a cold sore/fever blister in my life and I am 41 years old. Either way, I need prayer that there diagnosis is incorrect. and that my vision would be restored and the right diagnosis would be exposed. Thanks.

My best friend and I work for the same company but in different call centers. Both of our departments are merging and alot of people are losing their jobs. She was impacted by the merge and is subject to being given a severance package or being helped to get a new job. Many of her co-workers were shocked as was I that she was among the few selected to lose their jobs. Her performance evaluations have been impeccable and she is well liked amongst many of our customers. She had complained alot about her Assoc Dir not liking her but Ididnt take her seriously. She believes that she was selected because the AD doesnt like her. I would like prayer that she would find another job either within our company or outside our company. Her day of departure has to be December 3rd. I am praying that God would reveal who is blackballing her in the company and that God would strengthen and cause her to see that a setback is just a comeback for something greater. both of us have been working on opening our own restaurant but we have no funds yet but we did get our LLC. Either way, she needs a job in order to have her dream business. Please pray that for TP. Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I jus wanted continued prayer for my son who is 13. He was robbed yesterday at gunpoint by unmasked man. He and his cousin were returning home from doing an errand and a man approached him and asked for his phone and my son at first responded no but the man pulled out a gun and pointed at his stomach and my son turned the phone over. Than the man turned to his cousin and asked him to empty out his pockets and took his money and walked away. All of this happened in broad daylight and the children were concerned that nobody stepped in and helped them. We praise God that neither of them was hurt and that both are still alive. They were able to identify the man and he fit the description of a known felon in that area who had been committing the crimes. However, it will prolly produce a investigation and possible trial when the individual is apprehended. I say when because this man needs to be off the street and with the help of prayer this can be accomplished. Ironically but not coincidentally, the man that robbed them was seen by them a week to the time that this occurred. So he may have been checking them out at that time but never the less, he needs to be caught before he harms another person. Please pray that both of these children will not be traumatized by this event and that they will continue to strive on. Both are having nightmares but both are grateful to God for being alive. As the mother of the 13 year old, I am still in shock. I am mad but extremely greatful to God. As I remind myself that there are principalities in high places. I even have been praying for this young man that he would find Jesus. God has given me peace but just as I was giving my son some independency, I am finding that now i want to take it back. I need wisdom and discernment of God that he help and assist me and guide me with my son.
