Oh, and as parents of children with special needs ourselves, pray for us too.
I am a single mom with three kids. Please pray for my 17 year old son. He accepted Christ as a child but has really strayed and is in rebellion. Pray that he will come back to The Lord. Thanks!
Roxie,
We are lifting your son up in prayer today. We are believing for a shift to take place in his life. That God will restore His relationship with him. Keep the faith. God has got your son in the palm of His hands. Keep looking up! May God bless you and your family
Father, you know this young man’s heart. You know his need. Please break the enemy’s lies in his life, help him to see your truth and goodness again. Strengthen his mama during this time of wandering. Use this season to help this young man understand your heart in new and life-changing ways.
Roxie….my reply somehow posted under the next person….sorry….
Pray we are able to become parents.Pray I am healed.This fight has been ongoing for six years.I am raising my step children and just feel like I am the only one in the world with this situation….
Dear Daphne,
May I comfort you by letting you know you’re not alone? After multiple miscarriages and much infertility treatment, in God’s timing, he has blessed us with 3 beautiful children. I consider it no coincidence that I never became pregnant until I began praying “THY will, not mine, be done!” As I prayed, my attitude began to conform to that mindset. I also prayed, “God, if this is not your will for me, please take the burning desire from my heart, because this is killing me!” It helped me cooperate with God, even though it was SOOOOOO incredibly hard.
I know, dear lady that days feel like weeks, and weeks feel like months when this is happening. But whatever the outcome, trust that God has His best planned for you.
My prayer for you is that you feel His immense compassion and comfort in very real ways.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3;20-21)
That is a perfect promise to share, Barbara. Keep your eyes on Christ, Daphne. Every day. He will provide what you need.
Lord, you know each of our hearts and how dear each is to you. May this son seek after you, trust you FULLY and desire to live for you. Nudge him gently to make his way back to you. Comfort Roxie in knowing that others are holding him up to you. Bless her for reaching out to ask for prayer. In Jesus name, Amen.
Sorry….my first reply here was meant for Roxie.
This one is for DAPHNE…..
Father, we pray for Daphne to someday be able to experience having a child. we know the wait is so long, month to month, but would you give her a sense of your comfort and give her the ability to wait in an understanding way. We pray Ps. 138:8, “the Lord will accomplish what concerns me.” Help her to know that You love her and have the very best of all that you give her. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Daphne, The Lord hears and knows your cry. Lord I am asking you to give Daphne strength in the midst of her pain. Lord please show her your peace and comfort. Lord I pray for you to show Daphne your perfect time in healing and adding to their family. I will be praying for you this week Daphne. Big hugs from Florida!
Lord you hear Daphne’s cry, uphold and carry her giving her your peace.
Please pray for my marriage and my husband. We are currently separated because my husband asked me to move out last June. I have been continually praying and believing for restoration of our marriage. My husband is also an alcoholic who doesn’t want to get the help that he needs. He says he plans to file for divorce soon. Please pray
I pray that God will uphold you both during this time, giving you both the courage to deal with each other. I pray that God will heal your husband and bring him to the knowledge of the damage that his addiction causes you and his family.
Lord, I pray for Shelly and her family today. You created her as a daughter of your own. Lord, you promise to be close to us when we are hurting. Strengthen Shelly today. May your hand be on her marriage and turn hearts to You. Place people around them who can guide them to help and support, who can offer words of wisdom to both Shelly and her husband. Most of all, Lord, SHOW Shelly that you love her with a deep, amazing love that will never end.
Father, I pray for Shelly as she reaches out for prayer. I pray that her husband would get the help he needs to make changes in his life that would also affect the marriage. Give Shelly and understanding of the things she is to learn during this difficult time….to learn and to someday be of help to others. May this marriage be revived. In Jesus name. Amen.
Please pray for my health, I’ve been having a reaction and swelling in my face from the anxiety I struggle with. Pray that God heals it please. Also for a friend that they find The Lord and I am able to be bold and have wisdom
Danielle, such wisdom to see the connection between and anxiety and physical struggles. It’s something we can overlook so often. Father, we lift up your daughter to your care. As her Great Physician, we know you can soothe her anxiety and physical symptoms. Please right what’s gone wrong in her cells and cause them to line up under the authority of Jesus Christ.
Father, I pray for Danielle to be restored to full health so that she can serve you in all ways. I pray for her friend to know You. May she be able to be the example she wants to be to lead that friend to YOU. In Jesus name. Amen.
Lord God, I pray that you will relieve Danielle’s anxiety and the physical symptoms that accompany it. Lead her to health care providers able to treat her condition, if need be. And give her wisdom to be the example her friend needs. You can do all these things and we trust you to complete them in your best time.
Please pray for James F.
He is in the hospital. Doesn’t have family members that are willing to be with him.
He has cardiac issues and has had heart attack 5 days ago again and is back at hospital tonight. He’s on Dialysis 3 times a week. I do the best I can for him. He also has mental health issues. He’s 60 yrs old and needs to be at nursing home now due to Vascular Dementia. He’s been there about a month and is upset about it. I’m unable to provide the care he needs.
Thank You
Oh, Father, it is so hard for us who love these dear ones to admit when we’ve hit our max. Would you come around Care-Giver today and speak peace in to their heart? Please provide support for them and for James and all he needs. Make the way straight as they pursue assisted living or health care facilities, and cause your people to cross their paths with support and love. We know you’ve got these two in your heart and in your arms, may they feel that tangibly, assuringly today.
Father, you know Jame’s needs and how much it will take to reach his spiritual heart as well as his physical one. Please bring your people into this man’s life–doctors, nurses, other visitors–who can share your love with him in a way that will let him know You have not left him. Enable him to come to peace with his new home. Father, I also pray for your blessing and presence to be with James’ care giver, that you will let him or her know your joy and your love toward them for doing what they can for James, and for their ongoing concern for him. May Your presence be felt and your hand be seen throughout this entire hardship in a way that can take these difficult circumstances and these heartaches and transform them into things that will be according to your Plan. Help us, Father to trust You in the knowledge that “we know that all things will work together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.” In Christ’s name and by His power we pray your will. Amen.
Lord, we pray for care-giver to be able to find the right kind of help for JF. May you lead the way to the right people or place for him to get the help and care needed. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Please pray for answers as to what is wrong with my health. Pray that the dr. knows what is wrong right away, and The Lord allows healing to come into my body. Please pray for complete restoration in my health, and for a rerenewed mind in Christ. Thank you!!
Rachel, praying for a clear focus for the doctor that he would accurately determine what is causing you to have health issues and for clarity of thought when it comes to making decisions about how to heal you. May it be the Lord’s will so simply heal you prior to your appointment. Find quiet time to spend with the Lord and let His Word dwell in you and bring a peace that guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we pray for Rachel to be brought to complete health by You. May you heal her in such a way that she recognizes it could only be your hand that healed. In Jesus name. Amen.
I would like prayer for my sons to grow to be men after Gods own heart.
Christy, praying that your sons will grow to be “more than conquerors” thru Christ Jesus and mighty men of God. I love the promise in Jer. 29:11 that He has some wonderful plans for your sons as they seek His will. May you continue to demonstrate for them the value of prayer and time in the Word on a regular basis.
Lord, we pray that Christy’s sons would grow up to KNOW you, SERVE you, and lead other to you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
My prayer for my son, Alec, is my prayer for your sons today: “God, may Christy’s boys be the every bit of the men you created them to be. Let nothing keep them from your purpose and plan for their lives.”
Please pray for my health to be fully restored and for me to be a source of strength as a single mom to my boys. Thank you.
Hello Windy,
Here is a scripture verse I am praying for you today:
Lord Jesus, “I pray that out of your glorious riches, you will strengthen Windy with your power through your Spirit in Her inner being so that Christ may dwell in her heart through faith. I pray that Windy, being rooted and established in love,may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and that she will know this love that surpasses knowledge – that Windy may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19 Jesus we ask that you strengthen, restore and meet Windy’s needs today and every day. In Jesus name..
Lord, we know – when we feel good-that it’s hard to remember ever feeling bad. And when we feel bad, we forget that we ever felt good.. Lord, be with Linda to be restored to full health to feel good again. Help her to get the strength needed to be the mom she wants to be to her children. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Windy,
Wow as I read some of these prayer requests many are asking for healing. Lord I come to you and specifically ask for healing and comfort for Windy. Lord you know her specific struggles and I ask as she takes care of her boys by herself you will provide some respite for her so she can heal. We ask this in your name. Amen!
Please pray for my daughter she is sick today. Also asking for a prayer for unspiken.
Lord, I ask for you to surround Kisha and her daughter today. Restore them physically and emotionally. Bring strength, courage, joy and laughter in place of sickness. Let them know that you are with them in every moment.
Pray for a dear sweet lady that is 92. She is a close family friend and has been turned over to Hospice. I am going to be her caregiver during this time, so, please pray for me too. Pray for a peaceful home going for her and for strength for myself.
Dianne, my father volunteers at Hospice. I know from my Dad that it is a very special, precious time when someone prepares for the journey home. I pray now: Lord, give Dianne the words to say to her friend to encourage her and guide her into Your arms. Lord, strengthen her for this special tasks that you have called her to. How precious, indeed, it the passing of a child of God.
Please pray for my 26 yr. old son, Eric. He has been fighting drug & alcohol addiction for 8 yrs. now. Pray that he will call Teen Challenge and accept their residential rehab program. Pray that he will want to get help. Thank you.
Father, I lift Eric up in prayer. Help strengthen him in his fight agains drugs and alcohol. May he come to realize that pleasure in not found in a needle or a bottle. And more importantly, may he come to know deep down in his heart, that there is a Father who loves him. A Father who looks out His heavenly window everyday hoping to catch a glimpse of Eric so that He can run out to hug him, kiss him, and celebrate Eric’s journey to Him. Amen.
I am praying for another person in a similar situation, and when I pray for him, I’ll pray for Eric, as well.
Lord, Pls. bring Eric from the place his is in life to a place of full surrender to knowing and serving you. In Jesus Name we Pray. Amen.

Father, we know our bodies are YOUR temple. Only by Your Holy Spirit power can we resist the temptations of overeating food and avoiding exercise.

Please keep me in your prayers. I am having serious issues with sadness, loneliness and jealousy. I am having repetitive feelings of not really wanting to do this special needs parent thing anymore. I entered into this journey very young and as other people around me are living their lives the way they want or the people in this journey with me are being invited to live a life outside this special needs bubble I’m finding myself feeling very left out, very invalid & very invisible. I know these are just temporary feelings that are outweighed by the love and joy I have with/for my child, but this time it’s really hard and I’d like you all to pray with and for me. Thank you.
Dear Lord, I lift this sister to you tonight. I pray that you will surround her with your presence. That you will whisper in her ear how very much you love her. Let her know, Lord, that you will never abandon her; that you are always there, even when she can’t see her. Remind her, Lord, that joy comes in the morning; that spring always follows winter; that you’ve promised springs to flow in the desert places. In Isaiah 43:1-3, you tell us, “”Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…”
I am claiming these promises for you tonight, my friend. May a good night’s sleep restore you, and may joy come quickly in the morning for you.
AD my prayer is for you to feel Jesus right beside you comforting you. He is the ultimate comforter and knows your sadness. Go to Him daily and pray. With God you are never invisible. He loves you so much. Lord I pray that AD will feel your love and comfort. Please help her to connect with some other people that will encourage her and lift her up. Blessings!
Please pray for me. I’m confused and feel totally inadequate. My 14 year old with autism has moved from severe, self-injurious, non verbal autism to practically normal functioning, but mommy doesn’t know anymore where puberty stops and autism begins. I’ve been changing things her whole life to “make it better” – behavior modification, supplements, ignoring some things applauding others, now she feels I’m always trying to “fix her” and that she will never be “good enough” for me… sigh… I love her to pieces, still see some things we could improve and have a really hard time just letting go, and get really hurt when she says she hates me or goes great lengths to not do what is asked of her… Mommy is tired and lost.
This sounds like a very frustrating season of life. Change, especially when it comes from our children, often requires adjustment on the part of the part. The dynamics of the relationship change and it seems, at times, that no matter what a parent does…their child is not completely happy. Praying for you and your daughter that the fruit of the Spirit…love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control would begin to manifest itself in your relationship as you seek Him for wisdom and strength.
Please know I am praying for a resolution to your situation with your daughter. God is good, keep praying , I know kids that age can be difficult. I have one myself. Your a good Mom
After much prayer, the Lord has made it clear to us that our daughter (Cami) needs to attend a school for the Blind so we are moving to be near to one so that she can attend as a non-residential student. There is a possibility between two different schools, each in a different state. We are moving June 1 and as of right now my husband still hasn’t found a job (in either state) so, really, our place of residence is dependent upon where he finds a job. PLEASE PRAY that the Lord will provide a job that will meet the needs of our family! Pray also that I’ll rest in the Lord, allowing Him to calm my heart in the uncertainty of the waiting. THANK YOU for taking the time to bring this request before our Lord!
Rachel, what a brave, bold step for your daughter. Praying alongside you now… Father, you see Rachel’s heart for her child, you have a plan for Rachel, her daughter and their entire family. We pray for swift, clear guidance and provision of where and when and all the details of relocating a family. We trust this family to you, and trust your best to unfold for them in this next step!
Dear Lord,
Please calm Rachel’s soul as they wait for you to provide a job for her husband. Remind her of how you made the decision about a school for the blind clear to them. May that reminder calm them as they wait. Thank you for what you have waiting for this family just beyond the horizon. We joyfully anticipate your answer to their prayers.
I need wisdom for making decisions about how my 12-year-old son will spend the summer. Both his father and I work full-time and he is now too old for the summer daycare programs. We don’t want him spending the summer at home alone watching TV and playing video games all day! We live in a smaller community where there are not tons of programs available for his age. One of the best options we had fell through, so now I am feeling at a loss. Please pray that we can figure this out soon, and that God will direct us toward the right plan for our son!
Lord, you know this young man, what he needs, and what his family needs this summer. Please open doors for unexpected options and blessings. We pray for new connections, friendships, and for this family to have peace as you open the doors. I lift Violet to you, too–that she’d know your heart for her and her son, and for your fresh courage and hope to fill her today.
Also, I don’t know if you saw, but there’s a comment that isn’t attached to this thread that’s for you. A suggestion from another parent on the site. Good stuff!
Hi Violet, I’ll be praying that our Heavenly Father will guide you in the right direction. Is there any places that your son could volunteer at? The local animal shelter or even church?
Please pray for my husband and myself and our three boys ages 6,4, and 2.
Our 4 years old was born with Arthrogryposis and Polymicrogyria, we are struggling to maintain his weight and growth at a healthy rate (he did not grow or gain weight for over a year. now he is growing, but not gaining weight).
Our 6 year old has some problems too, and we are on trying to get them diagnosed and figured out so that we can help him.
We need need a break, peace, and wisdom on what our next step should be.
Thanks!
Father, you said that in times of worry that we should come to You with our prayers and petitions and with thanksgiving…I bring Roxanne and her family before you Lord asking for healing from you for two beautiful little boys who need to grow healthy and strong. May they begin to start gaining weight in proportion to their height and to grow strong and eventually become “might men of valor!” I give thanks for those blessings that you provide for Roxanne’s family and thank you for your promises of always being near, never abandoning them, and weaving a way for all of this to work for good. Father may your peace, a peace which passes all understanding that comes from trusting in you and your Word, guard Roxanne’s heart and mind in Christ Jesus…
I would appreciate prayer for my daughter. She is 4 and has epilepsy, global developmental delay and learning difficulties. Over the next two days she will be having a number of hospital tests to try and diagnose what is causing everything. It would be amazing to have a diagnosis and treatment. But most importantly for us as a family to know God’s peace and to trust Him with the future. Thanks so much.
Lynsey, I’ll be joining you in prayer for your daughter during these next several days. “Father, we thank you for those people whom you have gifted to be doctors, nurses, and medical specialists. I pray for those medical personnel that they would have steady hands and a complete focus for the procedures they need to do. I pray for clarity and discernment for those who will render a diagnosis and treatment. Sovereign Father we bring these petitions before you with thanksgiving asking that Your peace…a peace which passes all understanding and circumstances…would guard this family’s hearts and minds in your Son, Christ Jesus. Amen.”
try it again:
folks, I need prayer. My husband and I are raising our 3 year old granddaughter, Angel. She is a meth baby, autistic and they say mildly mentally challenged but I don’t believe that part. She has recently begun to have major meltdowns or storms or whatever they are called. She needs protected from herself and she also getting so she is aggressive at times to me. We are all she has. We love her. We love Jesus and we are striving to raise her with His love. I know this is the first of bad meltdowns to come. But we don’t know what to do. We don’t have her on any meds but hesitate and are concerned because of the meth-we must be careful. We will be checking with the dr. But please lift us up in prayer. God truly has blessed Jimmy and I with this little Angel. We just need more prayers. Thanks Kathy Bever
We just got back from dr. and they are going to refer her also to pediatric neurologist for possible seizure activity. Thank you and God bless..
Kathy
You are covered with God’s love and protection. I will be praying for your family as you help your granddaughter. Lord I pray for wisdom and strength for these grandparents as they care for their angel.
Hi, I am in need of prayer for my family. My mom is not a believer and my brother is a new believer. I am in Uni now, studying abroad, so at home, there is only my mother and brother. I want my mom to see how amazing God is…because she faced so much when she was younger, she believes that God is there, but He does not care at all about people. I want her to experience God’s unconditional love, and just have her fall to her knees in awe and happiness….I want her to experience what I have…also for my brother, that he will not fall back in his old ways, but to continue to grow strong in Christ.
Thank you,
God bless
Dear friend, thank you for stopping by! I’m praying for you… Father, would you come alongside your girl as she’s away from home, studying, concerned for her mom and brother. We pray that you’d pull mom and brother close to you, reveal yourself in fresh ways, and open their eyes so they recognize your love for them. Please protect them, and this student, too. Amen.
thank you so much!! :’))))))
thank you~ :’)))))
Pray for my 8 yr old boy (only child) with ASD that he will overcome his social anxieties and want to have friends. Also wisdom for us as we ponder the decision to homeschool.
LJ, I hear you! We’ve gone through that with our oldest most of her life. Have you connected with Jennifer Janes (http://jenniferajanes.com/)? She home schools and has a daughter with autism. Perhaps she can be a sounding board as you pray through the decision? Also, I lift you up in prayer right now: Father, thank you for brave parents who press in to growth with their kids, even when they resist (when do we not resist as Your kids, come to think of it??
) Lord, thank you that you have a plan for this child, for who he knows, for the friendships, the growth and the full life you’ve known he’d have since before he was born. We pray that all your best for him comes to fruition, and that his mom and dad would have wisdom from you to know how to lead him along. Amen.
LJ, I will be praying for you as you look to Him for guidance in your decisions to change schooling. Lord I ask that you lift up this boy. You know exactly his struggles. Lord please help him and give him your peace.
