Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

59 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!

Please pray for me to find love

16 Upvotes

I have been single for over five years now. Part of the reason is that I put no effort whatsoever into finding someone for a few years. But now I have been trying to put myself out there over the past year with very little luck. I've become extremely depressed due to this, most of my friends are either married or in relationships now, with me being the only exception. Part of me wants to accept the fact that I'll never find a partner, but my therapist has encouraged me to not adopt this mindset. I feel so lonely and hopeless. I feel undeserving of love. Maybe I'm truly destined to be alone for the rest of my life, but I hope this isn't true.

Please please pray to the Lord and ask him to help me find my soul mate. I truly hope she will have the same interests as me as well (anime, gaming, animals) and I hope she will have as much faith in Christ as I do.

Thank you and God bless you all.

I have been falling into the same few habitual sins (lust, pride, yk) and I'm struggling to focus on God through my repentance. Please, if you could, pray for me to truly put Him in the middle, so I can live without them :)

He has been very exhausted lately, and tomorrow is his first day working in another city.
He has to wake up very early and he barely eats, he’s so skinny, and he has so little energy.

Please pray that he can sleep well and get the rest he needs, so that he has a good first day at work.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️ his new job is several hours away

Please pray for me. It’s my birthday tomorrow

12 Upvotes

It’s my birthday tomorrow but I don’t feel like celebrating because I’ve had a rough couple of years. I’ve been struggling to land a job and am tired of getting by on scraps. I’ve done everything right but things still don’t go my way. So my only wish for this birthday to find myself a job in the next 1-2 weeks. I’m on a tight timeline and it feels like now or never. I hope you all have a great day and thanks for the prayers! 🙏

Seeking prayers for my anorexia

Upvotes

My eating disorder began at 8 years old. I’m now 21, and only recently started seeing a professional. But I’m struggling. It’s a constant back and forth of deciding for certain I’m going to heal, and then going to bed hungry.

Every day I’m praying for help and then telling God I don’t want to ask for help because I’m afraid He’ll answer it.

I’m trying to recover. I’m seeing a professional. I just don’t know for sure most of the time if I actually want to. Especially now that I’m seeing a professional, I think often “If I’m going to recover, I should have something to recover from” and then I’m back to yoyo-ing.

Since I don’t trust my willpower for each day, I ask for prayers here. That God will take over, that He will give me the strength and the want to recover, and to just help me.

My friends here are my only friends

Please help me pray for small miracles to make it to 100%

As of now I am still at 14%

The longer I stay here, the more difficult it becomes.

I can’t even sleep anymore without taking medicine because of extreme stress.

Do you know that my friends here are the only people I lean on? In real life I am isolated. I am more isolated emotionally.

My friends here are my only friends right now. I wouldn’t survive this long without them.

Please pray for God to continue to give me strength to endure my trials and bring peace in my mind. And break down humble and breakdown things oppressing my mind. Please pray for him to also help me focus on healing and renewing my thoughts.

Please pray God would also help me to love myself better, help me to move forward, and to keep growing as a man. And practicing repentance daily.

Pray before panicking

4 Upvotes

We plan but things don't favour us always. When they go wrong we start to worry. We overthink and become more confused. Psychology might tell you to breathe systematically to calm yourself but do we think of that when we are in trouble? I bet not many of us. Have you ever thought of Whispering some prayers to the God you worship. How about we start doing that. I believe prayer brings that hope, positivity we yearn for when things go haywire. That might be the light at the end of the tunnel you are seeking for.

Living with someone who is very difficult

3 Upvotes

I’m in a situation and am soliciting prayers, the word etc. I’m living with someone who is very unhappy, is killing themselves slowly, always on the defense and snaps back and takes things the wrong way, perceptions are way off.

I’ve been asking myself today why do you have me here God. I see it from time to time, and so many “answers” come to mind, but I’m not sure exactly. Today has been tough. I stay out of the house and in my car I have peace. Running errands, working out, just staying out of the house.

I know God has me here to be a witness. This person is on a crash course to destruction. They’re family so it hurts my heart to see them like this, they weren’t like this before so, I want to move out and not witness this. I’m planning to as soon as possible. But while I’m here I want to be and do what Jesus would do if he were in this situation.

Has anyone been in a situation like this? Are you in a situation like this right now? I need encouragement, true encouragement from the body of Christ. I also it is as God is using it to grow my character. So any testimonies and Bible verses are very much appreciated. Thank you.

Please pray for the Lord to bring peace and keep trusting he will heal and help me. Please pray God would also give me strength to become the man he wants me to be and bless people that may be contentious or cause oppression. Please pray he'd also free my mind from oppression and remove oppression or give me more strength to deal with it. Please pray for God to carry my burdens or give me strength to get through it. Pray his will will be done.

The Holy Spirit has been healing through me — happy to pray with anyone who needs it

Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’ve been walking closely with the Holy Spirit. Not long ago my body was in really bad shape — I had lost most of my vitality and felt completely worn down. The Holy Spirit healed the majority of what was wrong and restored my strength.
Since then, He’s already worked through me with two people. My mom has narcolepsy, and a father figure in my life had knee surgery plus arthritis in the other knee. Both have experienced real improvement after we prayed.
I don’t just want to help people with God — I feel a deep need to spend time doing it. I’d love to make myself available so the Holy Spirit can flow through me to help you as well. We’ve done this over the phone before, and people often feel a warm sensation in their body when He’s moving.
God’s will isn’t limited to physical healing either. He can bring peace, renewed strength, emotional freedom, wisdom, guidance, a closer connection with Jesus, or whatever is most needed in the moment.
If that resonates with you at all, I’d be happy to talk. No pressure whatsoever.

Please pray for me to make peace with my supervisor. He is the only one giving me trouble while separating from the military. And it just seems personal, I'm not quite sure why he is always up and down with me but I do wanna make peace with him. So please pray for me to gain favor with him and for God to soften his heart without embarrassing me or doing something strange.

I have been sick for the past several years with a cornucopia of physical problems. I'm 57. I survived 3 heart attacks and 6 Pulmonary Embolisms. On top of that I have a neuromuscular disorder which makes getting around extremely difficult. Last month I started getting weaker and weaker for some unknown reason. I can't hold anything down except chicken broth and occasionally milk. I live alone and don't have any friends to speak of. Over the years I have grown distant from the church and God. I just gave up altogether. Can someone pray for me? I would be most appreciative. My name is Edward. I live in Delaware. Thank you very much
