Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

58 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!

Loneliness is too much and always has been

Upvotes

I probably won’t even come back to look at this, but I’m desperate so I’ll post it.

Ever since I was a child I’ve been so overwhelmingly lonely. I try so hard, I work on myself, spent years healing and maturing. My 35th birthday is a few weeks away and I’m so sad because it feels like life is just passing me by. I need someone. My person. Someone to build a life with. Someone to talk to. Someone to be a home to. Maybe that’s pathetic. Maybe it’s not something people on Reddit will understand. Maybe you’ll roll your eyes, but I’ve been praying and talking to God all day and crying so much lately. God doesn’t really answer my prayers, so I figured I’d post in case even one person sees and is willing to pray, maybe He will answer their prayer. Idk. I’m sorry.

Pray for my girlfriend who will flee her home to come live with me

6 Upvotes

My girlfriend lives at home with an emotionally abusive father and mentally unstable mother. Her father wants to control her and it almost seems like he tries everything to keep her from being happy or even being her own person. Her mother is mentally not strong enough to stand against her father and often falls for his mental tricks. Both of them have taken to neglecting her as of late while still criticising her every move.

It isn’t official yet but soon (a matter of weeks) she will flee from home and come live with me and my parents. We are 20 btw.

Her name is Bianca and she is the best thing that ever happened to me. She is kind, loving, smart, funny, she accepts me for who I am, flaws included. She is the most beautiful person I know both inside and out and she doesn’t deserve any of this.

Please I just want her to be safe so she can be happy. Because if it keeps going on like this I am afraid I might lose her

Please pray for Bianca. That she may receive strength and love from the Lord. And that when she goes away from home that all may go well. Because I am so afraid of what her father will do when she tries to leave.

Baby with cancer

Upvotes

My grandmother has a life-long best friend, and she has a great grandchild. This child is still breast feeding and has a rare form of cancer, and doctors say there is nothing else they can do, and he has 2 months to live. The mother of the child is now going towards holistic treatments and other medical interventions for the boy. The mother and the father of the boy have also separated during this. Please pray for the child in a way way you can, whether that be for miraculous healing from God or that comfort surrounds this family and child so he can transition through death in peace. Thank you 🤍.

Lost Debit Card

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I feel silly even asking for this favor seeing so many other more important prayer requests in the thread.

I've lost my debit card and I'm having issues with my bank to recuperate the funds. It's not life or death, not even close, but it is causing me deep distress. If you could help me with a prayer to find the card or be able to access the funds I would deeply appreciate it.

Have a blessed day

I worry i’ve lost my chance to have a family (i’m 29) and a happy life. It broke me on so many levels. I’m just hoping life will turn around soon and that god has a plan for me. It hurts so much.

Prayer for friend battling addiction to crack cocaine

20 Upvotes

I am also in recovery - doing well but had a real close connection in treatment with this man. We had gone to meetings post treatment and hung out and did so many fun sober things we could never try in addiction. Well, he started the game with cocaine again, he’d show up when he wanted to, no meetings but we still collectively hung out but he split early. I sensed he was using again. His pupils and some mannerisms were key. A month ago, I called him to tell him I love him but was just concerned. He never called me back. In addiction, it is always a battle and I’m still on the sober path. It’s up to him and we can’t hang with him using. Today I checked on his sober living and they said they kicked him out a few weeks ago. Had to do a room search and they found a pipe and burned residue. Last I heard he’s on the streets smoking crack again. It’s crazy how this thing takes you when you put your ways ahead of gods. He needs prayer I’m afraid this time he will be really in trouble. Ty this is a next level drug.

please pray for me

2 Upvotes

I’m going through a situation where someone I was involved with has made threats towards me, including threatening to come to my home. I’ve cut contact, but I’m still scared of what he might do.

Recently, my mother also had a horrible dream about me. I know dreams aren't necessarily signs of what will happen, but given everything going on, it really frightened us.

I’m safe right now. Please make a prayer that God protects me from any harm, keeps this person far away from me and my home, and gives my family peace and protection. Ameen.

My baby boy is almost 7 months. He may require urgent open heart surgery. He has a couple genetic issues that will make this surgery quite risky.

He has cerebral palsy from medical negligence.

I am truly afraid. Holding for dear life the mighty hand of Jesus while I am tossed around in the sea of horror, uncertainty, anxiety, fear.

edit: thank you greatly everyone, my brothers and sisters in Christ for praying over my baby boy.

Hermanos míos, recuerden las palabras que nuestro maestro nos dejó a todos y hoy en día muchos las dejan de lado

1 Amados, no crean a todo espíritu, sino prueben los espíritus para ver si son de Dios, porque muchos falsos profetas han salido al mundo. 2 En esto ustedes conocen el Espíritu de Dios: todo espíritu que confiesa que Jesucristo ha venido en carne, es de Dios. 3 Y todo espíritu que no confiesa a Jesús, no es de Dios, y este es el espíritu del anticristo, del cual ustedes han oído que viene, y que ahora ya está en el mundo. 4 Hijos míos, ustedes son de Dios y han vencido a los falsos profetas, porque mayor es Aquel que está en ustedes que el que está en el mundo. 5 Ellos son del mundo; por eso hablan de parte del mundo, y el mundo los oye. 6 Nosotros somos de Dios. El que conoce a Dios, nos oye; el que no es de Dios, no nos oye. En esto conocemos el espíritu de la verdad y el espíritu del error. 7 Amados, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor es de Dios, y todo el que ama es nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. 8 El que no ama no conoce a Dios, porque Dios es amor. 9 En esto se manifestó el amor de Dios en nosotros: en que Dios ha enviado a Su Hijo unigénito al mundo para que vivamos por medio de Él. 10 En esto consiste el amor: no en que nosotros hayamos amado a Dios, sino en que Él nos amó a nosotros y envió a Su Hijo como propiciación por nuestros pecados. 11 Amados, si Dios así nos amó, también nosotros debemos amarnos unos a otros. 12 A Dios nunca lo ha visto nadie. Si nos amamos unos a otros, Dios permanece en nosotros y Su amor se perfecciona en nosotros. 13 En esto sabemos que permanecemos en Él y Él en nosotros: en que nos ha dado de Su Espíritu. 14 Y nosotros hemos visto y damos testimonio de que el Padre envió al Hijo para ser el Salvador del mundo. 15 Todo aquel que confiesa que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios permanece en él y él en Dios. 16 Y nosotros hemos llegado a conocer y hemos creído el amor que Dios tiene para nosotros. Dios es amor, y el que permanece en amor permanece en Dios y Dios permanece en él. 17 En esto se perfecciona el amor en nosotros, para que tengamos confianza en el día del juicio, pues como Él es, así somos también nosotros en este mundo. 18 En el amor no hay temor, sino que el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor, porque el temor involucra castigo, y el que teme no es hecho perfecto en el amor. 19 Nosotros amamos porque Él nos amó primero. 20 Si alguien dice: «Yo amo a Dios», pero aborrece a su hermano, es un mentiroso. Porque el que no ama a su hermano, a quien ha visto, no puede amar a Dios a quien no ha visto. 21 Y este mandamiento tenemos de Él: que el que ama a Dios, ame también a su hermano.

Prayer for restoration

5 Upvotes

Hi guys. I’m going through a really difficult season in my life, and I’m humbly asking that you please keep me in your prayers. I’m sincerely praying that God restores something meaningful to me, and I genuinely hope He answers my prayers.
I’ve been praying and asking God for this since July, but I still haven’t received the confirmation or direct answer I’ve been hoping for. I’m trying to hold on to my faith and trust His timing, even though this season has been incredibly difficult for me. I would really appreciate your prayers.

Les quiero recordar algo que Nuestro Señor dejó escrito en su palabra

Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬‬, 1 ¿De dónde vienen las guerras y los conflictos entre ustedes? ¿No vienen de las pasiones que combaten en sus miembros?‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬‬, 2 Ustedes codician y no tienen, por eso cometen homicidio. Son envidiosos y no pueden obtener, por eso combaten y hacen guerra. No tienen, porque no piden.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬‬, 3 Piden y no reciben, porque piden con malos propósitos, para gastarlo en sus placeres.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬‬, 4 ¡Oh almas adúlteras! ¿No saben ustedes que la amistad del mundo es enemistad hacia Dios? Por tanto, el que quiere ser amigo del mundo, se constituye enemigo de Dios.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬‬, 5 ¿O piensan que la Escritura dice en vano: «Dios celosamente anhela el Espíritu que ha hecho morar en nosotros.»?‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬‬, 6 Pero Él da mayor gracia. Por eso dice: «Dios resiste a los soberbios, pero da gracia a los humildes».‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬‬, 7 Por tanto, sométanse a Dios. Resistan, pues, al diablo y huirá de ustedes.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬‬, 8 Acérquense a Dios, y Él se acercará a ustedes. Limpien sus manos, pecadores; y ustedes de doble ánimo, purifiquen sus corazones.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬‬, 9 Aflíjanse, laméntense y lloren. Que su risa se convierta en lamento y su gozo en tristeza.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬‬, 10 Humíllense en la presencia del Señor y Él los exaltará.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬‬, 11 Hermanos, no hablen mal los unos de los otros. El que habla mal de un hermano o juzga a su hermano, habla mal de la ley y juzga a la ley. Pero si tú juzgas a la ley, no eres cumplidor de la ley, sino juez de ella.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬‬, 12 Solo hay un Legislador y Juez, que es poderoso para salvar y para destruir. Pero tú, ¿quién eres que juzgas a tu prójimo?‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬‬, 13 Oigan ahora, ustedes que dicen: «Hoy o mañana iremos a tal o cual ciudad y pasaremos allá un año, haremos negocio y tendremos ganancia».‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬‬, 14 Sin embargo, ustedes no saben cómo será su vida mañana. Solo son un vapor que aparece por un poco de tiempo y luego se desvanece.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬‬, 15 Más bien, debieran decir: Si el Señor quiere, viviremos y haremos esto o aquello.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬‬, 16 Pero ahora se jactan en su arrogancia. Toda jactancia semejante es mala.‭‭Santiago‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬‬, 17 A aquel, pues, que sabe hacer lo bueno y no lo hace, le es pecado.

I’m currently going through difficult time… Please pray for me 🥹 I want to survive.

10 Upvotes

I’m asking for your prayers because I’m going through a very difficult time and struggling with depression. Painful memories from my past and mistakes I deeply regret have been weighing heavily on me.

For years, I tried too hard to please others and belong, which led me into unhealthy friendships and situations that changed me into someone I never wanted to become.

I remember the friends i had, the words they told me, it’s traumatizing. How can i defend myself that i’m good when i hanged out with them? I had memories, pictures with them? I look like problematic beside them…

That was not who I truly was I was lost, hurt, and easily influenced.

Please pray for my healing, forgiveness, renewal, and protection. Pray that God removes me from harmful people and situations, gives me the strength to make better choices, and surrounds me with trustworthy people who will guide me toward peace and what is right. I want to leave my past behind, rebuild my life with integrity, and never return to those destructive influences.

Right now, I feel overwhelmed, afraid, and as though I am drowning. Please pray that God protects me, restores my heart and reputation, and helps me begin again.

Do i have a chance to have a clean name and reputation again?

Thank you all.
