My name is Stephanie. I am a divorced mother of a son who is 30 years old and doing very well. He is a husband and a dad and God has greatly blessed him. I also have a lovely daughter of 18. I adopted my daughter at the age of 5 months. Her dad, my ex-husband left us when she was 8 years old. I have struggled to keep our home because I felt that she needed some consistancy in her life. I have tried my best to raise her as God would have me to. She has taken me through so much pain and sorrow. I know that she has many problems but I feel as if I am at the end of my rope. It is very hard for me financially but God never ceased to amaze me with His mercy and grace. I have tried to live a life before her that I would be proud to have her live. I have not dated since her dad left. I am so lonely and I feel so alone. Sometimes I don't know just how I'll make it. I work as an Instructional Assistant at an elementary school. I don't make very much but somehow it works. I've never taken a vacation or done anything just for me. I work hard in my community to make life better for all or the youth. Yet, it seems as if I get the worst end of the stick. I know that God cares about me. I just need to have prayer warriors to pray my strength in the Lord. I would love to have a companion and I would love for my daughter to get her life in order and to graduate from high school and work to fulfull her dreams of becoming a nurse. Please pray for me.


Hi! My name is DeSean, and I just registered for membership to this blessed club. I am two months into a seperation from my abusive husband and need prayer for healing. This is my first time being alone, wanting to walk this thing out with the Lord without feeling as though I need a man to validate me as a woman. I'm asking for prayer that God would grant me the strength.


I really want to know if God is still there on my side! You see I'm about to have a baby. I could ask for no greater gift, than through the midst of all this joy I have--inside I feel pain. I guess dealing with conflict issues with my sister and her not being there like she use to be for me has a little to do with it. Also, the Army. I've been going through this long process with getting out the army sothat I can go to college for physical therapy and stay in the States with my baby, but it seems like my superior doesn't understand what I'm feeling as an expectant mom. I prayed to God about all of this but sometimes I feel my faith starting to weaken. Mainly because I've been out a church a while; but I still believe in him. All i really want to know is do me and God still have that connection or have I lost him along the way? Pray for me and my family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


All glory to God. I am requesting prayer for my family. My husband who brought me back to Christ 5 years ago has seemingly changed his life as a man walking with God. Over the past year and a half. We have lost 2 babies due to IC at 18 and 20 weeks, glory to God we know now why and Iam in the processing of having surgery next month. He has walkedaway from our marriage and seemingly God he is angry. We are both in a 12 step program with 8 and 6 1/2 years clean. All I can do is surrender and turn this all of it, over to the care od God. So much has happened. I know I HAVE to trust in my father more then ever at this time in my life. We want a baby so bad (neither one of us have children) other then the 2 in heaven . I feel broken but not beat .I was once told a champion sometimes runs the race injuried and broken with their mind and heart on the prize so I am staying in the game with God ,because I KNow it was promised to me .. joy comes in the morning. Please send yours prayers up for my family and I will do the same. Thank you in advance.

Miscarriage Misery
God knows best
Is the rationale that comforted me
But my heart still ached when I
Was told that the life inside me was no more
Oh, what feelings of joy I felt, when I first found out
That the Creator had hand picked me to be a carrier of life. Oh what
Oh what a blessing, I silently shouted.
Why was life taken from my body after two months?
Some things we never know the answers to; comforted only by God knows best.
Feelings of unworthiness and consequences of past sins offered possible explanations
As I struggled to stay focused, free of guilt and fixed on the gift of God's forgiveness.
Now I call upon my God of second chances, my God of grace and my Master of mercy
Hoping that His Will matches my desire, as I wait in faithful anticipation
-----
I would like to ask all to pray for me. Remember me in your prayers, asking that God might heal my womb from oversized fibroids that alter the shape of my uterus, and make it unlikely for me to successfully carry a fetus. Consequently, surgery to remove the fibroids has been scheduled for September 12, 2003. It is hoped that the surgery will be successful, removing only the fibroids and leaving my uterus intact with the ability to still bear children. I pray for a successful surgery or for a healing beforehand. I know God is capable of a complete healing without the risk of surgery. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on the 3rd of September to assess the location and surgical approach to the fibroids; what a miracle it would be if they were gone. My husband and I would love to bring children into our life and home and we pray that it is God's will also. God said he would give me the desires of my heart... so I'm asking. In Jesus name I ask you to pray also.
Thank you....


Yes, I would like to put in a prayer request for my family and their health. I am asking your prayer group to come into an agreement with me that especially my oldest sister will be healed from the top of her head to the soul of her foot. She has been in and out of the hospital about 11 times this month. She is a very sick woman. I am praying that God will intervene on her behalf and deliver her of something that satan is trying to attack her with. "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust. I am also wanting prayer for myself and my supervisor which the devil is trying to attack her heart with congestion hear failure. Just prayer for my whole family for their health. Because the devil has been trying to attack me and my whole family. I bind satan where he stand and send him back to hell from whence he came. Thank You for coming into an agreement with me on my familys behalf.


Please pray for me as a try to get over a person in my life that I know is not the one for me and that I will have strength to let go and let God.


I pray for continued success in my business life; I ask for GOD to send to me a good man into my life; also, continue to surround me with positive people and keep the negative people away. and so it is........ Thank you

I am asking for this assistance to lead me and guide me through to my victory. I am now working a half time job and things are very bad.

JUST PRAY FOR ME THAT THE LORD WILL LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND GUIDE ME AS FOR THIS BURDEN IAM GOING THRU WITH MY MOTHER AND SISTER , THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND TO GOD BE THE GLORY


I need prayer for my doubts. At times I feel that my christian walk is a fake. This came about in a dream I had some time ago, whereby, Jesus came back (oh what a beautiful sight to see Him float down on a cloud-I've never seen anything that beautiful before). Anyway, everyone was kneeling before Him and when He got to me, He didn't have to speak a word, His words came to my heart and He told me that He knew my heart. At the time I felt that I was trying to fool Him into thinking I was doing His will. But He knows all. Since that dream, I've been feeling like I'm not for real in my walk. I pray for strength and guidance, I try to read His Words everyday- even if its just a passage. I go to church on a frequent basis. My mother (who is a minister) says that my doubts are coming from Satan who wants me to believe I'm not right. So could you pray for me that I might grow stronger and dispel all doubts of my faith.Thank you so much and may God continue His blessings on you.


I am asking for prayer for my husband and myself. My husband is a Christian and he is struggling with an alcohol and drug addiction. He has just enrolled himself in a program and he will be away for a year or two. Please join in prayer for me that my husband is healed and that for the time of this separation I will continue to walk in God's perfect will for my life.


I AM ASKING FOR PRAYER FOR MY SON WHO IS INCARCERATED AND HAS BEEN SENT TO A CAMP THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 10+ HOURS FROM ME. HE HAS 2 1/2 YEARS LEFT AND HE IS MY BABY SON. I HAVE 2. I WANT HIM TO REMAIN STRONG IN THE LORD AND KNOW THAT "HE" IS IN CHARGE NOT THE CO'S THERE ON THE JOB. I ALSO WANT YOU TO KEEP ME IN PRAYER THAT I REMAIN STRONG. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU ALSO.


Please pray for my Mom who is suffering from depression and who is very lonely. Please pray for me as I watch her go through this expereince. God has really blessed her in that she is getting better! I praise him every day.

Another prayer request is that I will be blessed to sell my present home and purchase a larger home and move Mom with me. "TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY, POWER AND PRAISE! FOR HE IS GOOD" God Bless You and Yours,


My prayer is that the Lord will lead & direct me to be a peacemaker @ work & home. I also pray for the leaders of this country that they allow the Lord to direct their ways. I also pray for my friend who has AIDS...she has been plaqued w/sores and is very uncomfortable.


I have a prayer request. My job is slowly and steadily going up in smoke. My prayer is that God will open another door for me to travel through, and I need my prayer warrior sisters to stand in agreement with me for a breakthrough.


To all my sisters in Christ,
Please pray that I will continue to walk in God's perfect will for my life. The temptations are strong and the enemy is on my heel. I declare him to be a liar and will not give him the victory. Pray my strength in the Lord.


I am a Black Christian woman and I am having a hard time understanding how to get where I would like to be in Christ Jesus. I don't know how to let go of the past and move on. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm saved. Is there a book that can help me understand the Bible better? I attend church all the time I go to Bible study, new memebers class and every service I can go to. I'ts just hard for me to grasp some things PLEASE HELP. Thank You brendalanier@hotmail.com


My name is Cynthia and I lost my job and my health insurance. I would like to ask that God provide the funds to help get a couple of my teeth fix. Thank you for reading my request.


Please pray for my son, William--that god will use him for His glory, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.


Please pray for my relationship with my boss and my best friend. Laurie


I thank God for finding GG. My prayer request is for my husband. He is a Christian who struggles with drug addiction. I have waited on the Lord for 17 years but my husband is still not walking in full deliverance on a consistent basis. I know that God can heal anything and anyone but we have to want to be healed. Please join with me in prayer that Satan will not consume this man and that he will truely understand that God loves him and has a purpose for him.

Our Women's Ministry is just beginning and we want the body of Christ to pray for God to bless us and direct our paths. We are including a series of book reviews along with our visits to nursing homes. WE know with the blessings of our Christian sisters--God will bless!


Pray for me and my husband to reconciled our differences. Pray for the unity and what we believe in, forgiveness. We all have at one time of another out of anger said some things that are not pleasing to ourselves or God. We should repent and move on, instead of holding on to the past. But we must believe in the vows we shared in the presence of God and of witnesses, that there will be times when we don't see eye to eye, but we must not let that hinder us from receiving God's blessing. Asking prayer in the name of Jesus Christ!


Praise the Lord, Thank God for prayers that he has already answered and I thank God for you having a praying spirit. I'm having a difficult time right now. Need a car to transport my three children to school in the morning, so we can stop walking the streets in the dark and riding several buses. I know that God is able and I would appreciate your agreeing with me in prayer. Be blessed! Sis Ruthie

Hello My Praying Sisters, Please pray for my family. We are extremely stressed financially, and we're hoping and praying that the Lord will continue to strengthen us as we wait on Him. We're claiming promises found in Matthew 18:19,20.


First, I thank God for The Glory Girls Book Club. Please pray for my wisdom in the Lord that I will always know what His will is for my life. I believe that the Lord has blessed me with the talent to write Christian inspirational stories to bless the lives of others. I found your web site while seeking to allow Him to use me and I am now working on my first book. Please pray that I always glorify Him in all that I do and that my book is published if that is His will. Also that all that I do be about the Lord and not about self. My husband is a minister and pastor. I would also like to ask for prayer that I support him as he does the Lord's work and for my two sons who have a music ministry. I have recently submitted an application to join your book club. Prayerfully Diane


After reading Journey to the Well and being transformed by God's Holy Word, Satan has decided to ride my heels. I refuse to give him victory. I know I am next in line for a blessing!!!!! And I want to receive what God has in store for me. I pray for strength to endure this trial. Join me my sisters in praying for strength only God can give. I am preparing to relocate to the Seattle area and seek God's grace to lead and guide me. Thank you for lifting me up in prayer, my Sisters in Christ.

Hello it's just me it's me oh Lord standing in the need of PRAYER. Well see everyone need prayer but I need some extra prayer. About 2 weeks ago my husband,who is my best friend had a heart attack at the age of 35 years. He has never been sick so this was a shock for both of us. We had to go to 2 different hospitals before actually finding that this really is what happened to him. My prayer is that whatever God has in store for us that we be acceptable of the blessing as well be a blessing to someone else as well. We just adopted 4 children to add to our 2. So we're the parents of 6 children ranging from the ages 3 -16. I know that its not in God's plan for me to raise these angels alone . Please pray for my strength. I'm use to being spoiled by my husband doing things for me now the table is reversed. I'm not complaining but I am scared at the thought of losing him and being alone . PLEASE PRAY, We're in Texas.


God Bless: My pray request is for World peace, that He bless my Church as a whole, and that He continues to bless and protect each member of GG and their families. Also, that God will guide me in the search/purchase of my two (2) family home for me and my mother. Special prayer request for the Brown, Isaac, Motes, Diaz, Hogan, Martin and Rios families. Amen....

She has expressed the need to get these kids out of her life. She needs prayer. Also, pray for the children they must be feeling the rejection big time. A concerned grandmother


My mother is struggling with blood pressure problems and I know the power of prayer. My prayer is that she will allow God to enter into her mind and relieve her of the things that are stressing her out. I talked with her and she knows what her stresses are;however, she is the backbone of our family and she carries the burdens of everyone. I know how blood pressure can be an issue for African Americans and I just really want to get a prayer chain going.
Yours in Christ, April

I am at a point in my life where I'm at a cross road and don't know which way to turn. I am divorced. I am wanting a relationship. I am trying to wait on the Lord but loneliness is creeping in. More like rushing in like a flood and I need strength to stand. Join me in prayer. Pray for strength that can only come from God. My heart's desire is to be a vessel worthy to be used by God. I want to be glorifying to God in all aspects of my life. -- A.Z. Chase
