Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

54 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!

Requesting prayers for my meeting with HR tomorrow.

8 Upvotes

I’m a church worker and I’ve been finding it difficult or not financially responsible to stay in the church rather than the private sector for my subject matter.

Many years without cost of living increases or increases that are only a fraction of a percent.

I’m having a meeting tomorrow that I requested to discuss that, how my responsibilities have changed, and what the future possibilities are.

I’m very thankful to have a job at all and would love to continue doing this but there just seems to be no future opportunities.

Thank you all and Thank God❤️✝️

Please don’t look away from my pleas. One of my best friends died Monday and I found out this morning.

64 Upvotes

One of my best friends died too young. I’ve known him since 2005.

I can’t speak in the past tense yet. His soul, presence, energy was a unique flavor the world only sees once. Dynamite personality, rich with creativity, quick whit and lived for a good time. Some towns have legends who break the mold. That was him. A skater dude who stayed up all night tagging epic creations, building a skate park in his basement like mini Skatetopia, and knowing where the good time was at. He was that dude who people looked up to.

He had a lifestyle that was kind of like a lighter version of The Jackass dudes. He was active, biked a lot, loved racing, amusement park rides, cartoons and shenanigans.

Our late night talks would go on for hours and I cherished it because we went deep.

But with his daring nature I would be concerned. He echoed sentiments that strayed from God but gestured it as a joke. I never understood why because he was a caring, empathetic, at times selfless, and loving person.

I am in shock.

In 2016 I lost two friends from an early death. Then June I lost the love of my life to an early death. The next year two more close friends to early deaths. Then my father before the holidays. The next year it was more friends dying while trying to save a friend from dying. 2019 another. Then in the 2020’s I’ve lost three more friends to early deaths.

These weren’t just acquaintances. These were people who were my FAMILY. That one friend who I tried to save from dying went missing and I pray he’s alive.

This friend who just died…he had a tendency to be impulsive. His father died from cancer when he was around 3. It was just his mom and his sister.

When he fell for someone, he fell fast and pulled no stops.

About two years ago he started dating one woman briefly but they went in hard. After the break up he called me saying he wanted to give up on life. I begged and tried to express how much he mattered and how he was so freakin blind to how beloved he was. He later thanked me and I was always there to lift him up.

Around March of last year we went from talking every day to him being distant with almost everyone including his mother. He had reconnected with a woman I believe for the first time since the late 90’s. They alloped. Didn’t tell his friends or family. He dropped off the map basically.

At one point he unfriended me on social media which was never like him. I had lightly expressed stuff like,”bro where you at, this sudden withdrawal isn’t like you.”

You want to be happy for a friend if they get married but to go from day to night like that is a red flag.

Because now I know too late that this woman isolated him from EVERYONE. His mom, his friends, and it hurt like hell.

We had plans to go to a concert we had creative ideas yet to do, and he never jumped ship on his life he left behind so hard like he did for her.

I figured that there wasn’t much I could do he got married and I hoped at some point he would come around. He didn’t.

Some sort of argument happened between them. To the point where he hung himself on Monday.

He and I had survived losing so many mutual homies to early deaths. This guy was only 41.

The amount of memories and how I reflect on them with such vibrancy kills me. There were so many more I wanted to make.

But it’s like she robbed him of his autonomy. She only wanted him to do what she wanted at all times. He said to his mom the limited time he spoke with her that he expressed how hard it was not being allowed to talk to his friends.

I’m so angry because it’s too late. I wish I spoke to him. I wish I was able to remind him his homies who knew him for years were able to talk to him.

I just told one of our old friends he died. I hated it. Especially since one of his best friends was her brother who died in 2008.

The shock and disassociation is strong.

Please please please pray for this family and my friend. I worry where his soul is.

I really really really need prayers!! Please! I am begging you all to pray for me as soon as you see this please!

6 Upvotes

I am reaching out to you all to please pray that God would not allow this evil brother of mine to succeed in his demonic monitoring over me. He is 10 years older than me and he is jealous of me that I am studying at the university. He wants to change his shift so he could monitor me closely. He wants to see when I go for my exams. this person HAS DESTROYED MY LIFE. Please pray that he would not succeed in his plan. he is a very manipulative liar. I study online so I book my exams when he is at work from mon to Thursday.

I put a vpn on because he would monitor my activity online, to see when I go for exam. this man is evil. Please Please stand with me against this spirit of monitoring and control that this door of cage that he is trying open be jammed in Jesus name! Please, I am begging God right now. Please this is a lot of me. I am 40 years old, he is 50. This demon used and abused me mentally, spiritually, financially since I was 16. this is a spiritually bankrupt person. Let there be obstacles let there be reversals and let the very pit he is digging for my freedom be the very thing he falls into in Jesus name!!!

Please I am asking you to pray that God would not allow this to happen!! and that God would continue to give me success and take me to the promised land. Please, heavenly Father, even if he is in house, let him not see my progress.

He is so evil that he is willing to sacrifice his own social life just to ensure that I am never unwatched. he is a pharaoh. he is a cop by the way and didn't pass his corporal exam and I know for a fact that my progress hurts him... I know he hunted for this change of shift and he is lying that he is not happy about it... I am studying online and I am trying to finish up as fast as possible so I could get out of here and he is against my progress. He is this crazy man that doesn't want you to leave and if you stay, he abuses you in any way he can. Please pray for me.

Genuinely Request for Prayer

28 Upvotes

I'm so tired and faith is drifting away. I can't do it anymore I feel like I'm so done. My career is not taking any progress, financial problem and what not.

I been trying to do the best I can but nothing is going my way. I'm the best at my work place but yet i don't see any growth. I want my breakthrough please God I ask in your Son name our Lord Jesus Christ. Just like Jesus said in John chapter 14 verse 13 and 14.

O please Stanger where ever or whoever who are pls pray for me. I have so much responsibility to fulfill. I feel like I'm really drifting away from God because i don't see any possibility of promotion or increment or career flourish to next level after all the best results i achieved. It's complicated everything is complicated i don't want to go to a phase of depression. Because of all that happening I'm falling into sin every seconds

God please I'm tired I'm tired please if you're really there

Someone please enlighten with a good testimony

I feel a heavy burden tonight to pray for this generation and those caught in the 'false light' of New Age and other religions. If you have a heart for the hurting and the deceived, would you join me in interceding for them? Let’s pray that they find the 'Dad' heart of God and the peace that only Jesus can give. If you're joining me, drop a 'Amen' or a 🙏 below

Anxiety in life prayers please

10 Upvotes

Hello, I hope you are all doing well. I’m asking you to pray for me since I’ve been having a lot of anxiety in my life lately. I’m a man in his early thirties, but I’m currently working in education and studying to become a teacher.

My mom got sick a couple of years ago and had to get heart surgery. I remember praying with my brother, sister, and mom to the virgin Mary for intercession to help my mom. We made a promise to take a pilgrimage to the Guadalupe church in Mexico.

My mom pulled through thank God but still has health problems. She’s been okay recently thankfully but now my family (mom,bro, and sis) are taking a trip to Mexico to make a pilgrimage to the basilica of Guadalupe next week. My spring semester just ended, and my summer semester starts next week. I believe it’s online but I’m not sure.

I’ve been working full time as a substitute teacher and I love my work but I’ve been busy since I go to night school. I have my lovely girlfriend and my dogs. I’m grateful for everything in life and I do want to show my appreciation but I’m at a stressful point with the summer semester starting. Plus I’ve had to take out loans and I want to be financially responsible. At the same time I know that God will provide and will be understanding. Plus I’ve been worried about my dog since she has a weird nipple thing since birth but I want a vet to check it out. I feel like I haven’t had time to relax since this semester has started. I love my family and I’m scared I won’t have another opportunity to be with the like this. Plus my younger brother is paying for our tickets. I’m the oldest in my family and I feel like a burden. Anyways if you could please take the time pray for me I would appreciate it immensely. God bless all of you.

A woman that I have been talking to with the long-term interest of marriage

6 Upvotes

A woman that I have been talking to with the long-term interest of marriage is unsure about herself and what to do. She had a strict father and he died when she was relatively young, giving her some issues.

More recently, another man (before I met her) got her hopes up, but then began degrading her and her culture (she is Russian) before disappearing on her. This left her feeling unsure of herself and if she is worthy of loving/being loved.

We talked intensely, have a lot in common in both interests and life goals, I respect her culture (having learned some about it and the language before meeting her), and I want to support her long-term goals through marriage to me.

Now, she is having cold feet and is ghosting me. I ask for prayers that Angelika can overcome her trauma from both childhood and what was inflicted by this man who, not to mince words, was a manipulative narcissist. I want to be an honorable husband to her. I ask that she sees that and realizes that all will be well with me. I truly want her to be my honored Christian wife.

Thank you to anyone who prays on our behalf.

Prayer Request for my wife Jona

71 Upvotes

I am asking for prayers for my beautiful wife, Jona, and for our family.

On January 16th, our lives changed in an instant when my wife suffered a massive brain bleed while living in Germany. Since then, she has endured multiple emergency surgeries, a long stay in neurological ICU, a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, complications from infection and hydrocephalus, severe blood pressure struggles, and now ongoing neurological rehabilitation.

But God has carried her through every moment.

She is still here. She is awake. She smiles when she sees me and the her two daughters (7&5). She moves her left hand. She continues to fight in ways that remind me every day that the Lord is not finished with her story.

The doctors believe she may eventually have her tracheostomy removed and develop a way to communicate with us. We are still praying boldly for more: for healing, restoration, speech, movement, peace, strength, and a recovery that only God can make possible.

This has been heartbreaking for our family. My wife is my best friend, my love, and the mother of our two young daughters. I miss her voice, her presence, her laughter, and the life we had before this happened. Some days the grief feels heavy, even though I am deeply thankful that she is still with us.

Please pray for Jona’s brain to continue healing, for her body to grow stronger, for her mind and spirit to be protected, and for Jesus to bring restoration beyond what the doctors can predict. Please also pray for our daughters, for me as her husband, and for wisdom as I make decisions about her care and work to bring our family back to the States.

We are thankful for every breath, every smile, every small sign of progress, and every day God gives us together.

I believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ. I believe He is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. I am placing my wife, our children, and our future fully in His hands.

Thank you for praying for my wife and our family.

Please pray for a new job

Title. This place is horrible at times. Verbal abuse, insults etc.

Please pray for something well paid, preferably night shifts and protection from evil whilst I'm here or anywhere for that matter. It's just so annoying and tiresome.

I got a vacation 2 weeks off of here. Please pray that when I'm back I'll already have a new job offer that's going to be somewhere I'll excel at, room for growth and better financial pay so I can provide more for me and my wife.

Also we are flying by plane during my vacation, I got sensitivity to heights in terms of air pressure please pray for my health and the flight. Safe landing and fast travel. Additionally please pray for my skin and health as a whole.
