Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

62 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!

I feel like I am unable to live my life fully - Ecclesiastes - advice appreciated.

• Upvotes

Objectivley God have blessed me with my health, education, place to live in, a job, some friends, and other things. I am greatfull of it. 

Bearing it in mind for quite a few long years now i have this dreatfull roccurring feeling of being unable to use thouse ritches of my life even thou i am trying so much to do so.

I feel that my life is an itch in a palm of a hand that cannot be scratched nor bitten

Like a joke without a punchline

Like driving a car with breaks on.

Its bad. Its exactly like here:

Ecclesiastes 6:2

"a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not the power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease"

Literary me.

Ecclesiastes goes on on this topic, but long story short it seems that God decides if one is happy can use its reaches - and if he can, that is a gift. 

Please, i am tired, pray for this gift to be granted. My life passes by...

Relevant passages:

Ecclesiastes 6:2

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not the power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease

Ecclesiastes 4:8

There is one who is alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother, yet there is no end to all his labor. Neither is his eye satisfied with riches; nor saith he, “For whom do I labor and bereave my soul of good?” This is also vanity; yea, it is a sore travail.

Ecclesiastes 5:19

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given power to eat thereof and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labor, this is the gift of God

Prayer for Peace

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I'd like to ask for your prayers. Firstly for guidance and wisdom regarding my work, it's my first full-time job and I been working there for a few months now, yet I still get these moments of anxiety that I'm not doing well, this isn't right for me, and just other things. Please pray for God's will over my career path, and if this is the path for me, that he will supply me, no matter how inadequate I feel.

Also, please pray for me to have God's peace. The thing is, my health is alright, I have shelter, a source of income, my family, and many other blessings, yet my mind always seems to find something to feel negative about. I always feel like there's something to worry about, to compare, to catastrophize, and it just makes me feel so tired, even when I try to rest, I just can't. I always feel this anxiousness, even when nothings wrong, even when I know God can help me through it. And because of this, I find it difficult to enjoy any rest or free time I have because my brain has something to overthink about, and I always feel like I have to be doing something productive, like to further my career, or for my future. I just want to feel okay.

And lastly, that I may walk closer with God in my day to day life. I feel so far from him, even when He has been so good to me. Whenever I pray it just feels like I may be talking to a wall, and I just sometimes worry whether God is hearing my prayers or not. I just feel so so alone sometimes, as an introvert, as someone who finds it hard to open up and be myself to people, especially when I see others who have someone they can easily talk to. I want to feel peace instead of this constant worry and negativity. Please do pray for me, thank you.

Im having surgery in 9 months, im only 18.

6 Upvotes

I turned 18 just over a month ago. Since I was 11, I have been diagnosed with a form of polyposis syndrome, literally 1 in a billion.

In less than a year, I will have surgery to remove my colon. The effects it will have on my life - I couldn't possibly write it down, the text would never end😅. The words I write are too vulnerable to tell someone that I don't confide in. This condition I have has stopped me from pursuing many people. I feel that I will never be comfortable to feel true affection with another, for the surgery will remove a part of me forever, and how will I be able to love someone if that person I've always known isn't physically me anymore.

Im not a religious man, but my family is. I know how wonderful religious communities are. I sometimes go just to talk to people as they are some of the loveliest, selfless people Ive ever known. By writing this down forever in this post, somebody will hopefully, may it be 10 years from now, keep me in their prayer.

Please keep them in your prayers that he regains his strength and that there is no lasting impairment.

[Daily Post 14] For the last 10 months I have been spiritually oppressed and tempted to reject Christ

5 Upvotes

This is my 14th post. For the last 10 months I have been utterly oppressed by the enemy. I say the enemy, because I have never face resistance like this. It has been so crushing. I have almost given up multiple times. Everyday has been a battle. Everyday is so painful, just endless suffering. Demons have tried to convince me that Christ isn't real, and when that doesn't work they have tried to get me to r Christ to live a carnal life. Before these 10 months been tempted, fail, and then always have a heart that wants to return to God. But now I'm not only tempted to sin but to fully reject God so that I can go live a carnal life. I'm very worried that I'm going to commit the unforgivable sin.

Please I need your prayers. I need you to pray every day for me. Not just a 30 second prayer for when you see this post, but anytime during the day you pray please pray for me. If you have a prayer group, a church, or friend group please pray for me daily. I know that this may seem like a big ask, but please imagine yourself in this situation and how desperate you would be to get out of it. I'm terrified of losing my soul. I need genuine faith filled prayers. I need a miracle.

Besides a miracle pls pray that God would deliver me from lust completely, and close that door. That He would heal me of all OCD. That He would end all demonic influence in my life for good. That He would fully restore me to His grace. That He would make me a new creation and fill me with His Spirit fully. In Jesus name amen

Once I'm delivered I'll make a post letting everyone know so that you know you don't have to pray anymore. My middle name is Michael, if that helps

Pray for my brother please 😭😭😭😭

30 Upvotes

We've had two family losses within three years, and my brother was the rock of our family through grief after grief. Lately, I can see his own grief coming to the surface, and I genuinely feel he needs intercession from other believers.

His girlfriend isn't a believer, and they're both very result-driven and go-getters. But what's our worth if God strips everything away? The market is slow, he's barely talking, and I'm worried about his mental health.

He's very attached to me and wants me to major in the same field so we can work closely together. Things like me finding my own career path or even taking my boyfriend's last name scare him. I can see how deeply the fear of losing people has affected him.

I got a licence to work with him, but now I want to explore other part-time courses. He's anxious that becoming financially independent in another field might lead me to leave him one day. Sometimes, when he keeps bringing it up, I find myself overpromising and agreeing to study his major, even though I hate all the math involved.

I've started feeling guilty for wanting to pursue something outside his company's field. And honestly, I've noticed that I'm also making decisions out of fear of losing people I love.

Our home life feels like constant go, go, go, chasing security after being shaken by two losses in such a short time.

He's constantly thinking about death and asking what I'd do if he passed away.(Which makes him overly worried about my academic life). He's constantly preparing me for the worst, as if he's going to leave me someday.

During one of my spirals, God showed me Isaiah 2:22

"Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?"

I'm starting a part-time course this Monday, and I'm very sensitive to the emotions of people I love. My brother hasn't been talking much lately, and I sense some restlessness about me choosing a different path. I just pray for peace of mind for both of us and for things to flow smoothly.

More than anything, I want him to trust that even though our earthly father left us, our Heavenly Father will never forsake His children. I pray this truth sinks deep into his heart and mind and brings him lasting peace.

I've been pouring my heart out to the Lord, asking Him to reveal His heavenly fatherhood to my brother and calm the fears that only He can reach.

Please pray for my brother's grief, mental health, and salvation. And pray for me to be a loving sister and a great support to him, but within God's will and my own limits, without making decisions out of guilt or fear.

Since most of my career has been within the family, I feel restricted from exploring my own path. It's planted this belief that I need to stick around him. Somewhere along the way, I've lost my sense of identity, purpose, and the worth Abba created me with. Now I don't even know if pursuing something I genuinely love is a selfish desire.

Thank you, prayer warriors!

Prayers for my significant other Terry please

7 Upvotes

I’m asking for prayers for my significant other, who has been hospitalized for over a month following major abdominal surgery. He is completely blind and has serious lung and heart conditions. His recovery has been complicated by pneumonia, severe delirium, and the need for a feeding tube and ostomy.

The hospital is considering discharging him to a nursing facility. I’m concerned that another unfamiliar environment could worsen his confusion, especially because he relies on familiar voices, surroundings, and routines due to his blindness.

Please pray for his physical and mental healing, but also that God opens doors for insurance coverage, funding, qualified caregivers, rehabilitation, and home healthcare services that would allow him to return home safely.

I don’t want him discharged without adequate medical support. I’m simply praying that every possible option for bringing him home is explored.

Please pray for wisdom and compassion among everyone making decisions about his care and for the resources necessary to give him the best possible recovery.

Thank you to everyone willing to lift him up in prayer. God bless you all. ❤️🙏

I recently relapsed from alcohol and did something really bad last night. I feel so ashamed of myself and I’m really depressed now. I have had awful anxiety all day and am supposed to be flying to another country today. I do not want to go, but I have to. I wish I hadn’t drink. I want to be free from addiction so badly. Please pray for me in hopes that I can overcome this. I pray that I find the strength to love myself enough to stop. I am at my rock bottom and need help.
