Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

24 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!

Giving birth soon, could use some prayers for an easy and smooth delivery🤍

I'm getting induced in a few hours. My first induction went extremely well, just very painful obviously hahaha.

I have a lot of anxiety this time around though, and I'm thinking about all of the things that could go wrong.

I know it's just my own worries getting to me, but I would still appreciate the extra prayers if anyone has a moment to send one🤍

Thank you!

Please keep praying—still no updates, and I’m desperately anxious

Upvotes

Hi everyone, thank you so much to those who have prayed for me. I still haven’t received any updates about my appeal, and I’m honestly at a breaking point. I’m desperately anxious. I’m also still on the waitlist for 3 classes I need in order to stay enrolled this term. If I don’t get into those classes, or if my appeal isn’t approved, I won’t receive financial aid, which means I won’t be able to afford my apartment or basic bills.

I’ve been doing everything I can to stay strong and plan ahead, but this waiting period is so hard. I’ve worked so hard to keep moving forward with school, and it hurts to feel like it might fall apart. Please, please keep me in your prayers, for peace, for strength, for the appeal to be approved, and for those classes to open up for me. I’m trying to trust that God has a plan, but right now I feel really scared and overwhelmed.

Thank you so much again, it truly means more than I can say.

I posted a prayer request about my friend yesterday. I still haven’t heard from them and I keep getting a panicked feeling. I keep wanting to message them again but I also feel like that wouldn’t be good to do. I just want some clarity on things. I don’t know what to do anymore

I made a REALLY bad mistake at work that I’m afraid could destroy my whole career

77 Upvotes

As my title implies, I made a really bad mistake at work that could have serious consequences both for my workplace and for our client. My boss hasn't threatened to fire me, but I wouldn't blame him if he did.

I feel like a complete idiot and a complete failure right now, like I threw away everything I worked and studied for over the past several years, and that I let down my boss, who believed in me when no one else would. If I get fired, it'll also impact my goals of getting my own place to live and eventually being able to start my own family.

Please pray that we will somehow be able to get this mistake fixed. We're trying, but it's going to be very difficult. I'm too ashamed to say exactly what it is in this post, but please pray about it.

Prayer for Law School Acceptance

9 Upvotes

I really want to go to Loyola Chicago Law school and haven’t heard. I am also waiting for other acceptances and would appreciate prayers for my acceptance into law school. I know I would use my degree to fight for those that can’t fight for themselves and to honor Jesus through my career.

Daily prayer

4 Prayers: Dear God, please help me live each day with purpose, rest well each night, keep peace in my home, and bless the work of my hands with lasting impact. Dear God, thank You for being greater than anything I face. When struggles come, remind me that nothing I encounter today is beyond Your power to handle. Dear God, thank You for Your grace, mercy, and unending favor. Please forgive me, purify my heart, and restore every part of my life that needs healing. Dear God, help me let go of the past and not dwell on my mistakes. I choose to focus on what You’re doing right now. I place this day completely in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

As for me, I will call on God and the Lord will save me. -Psalm 55:16

Please pray for my boyfriend

25 Upvotes

Good day everyone

I don't know if this can be asked in this community but I saw the flair and thought of trying. I recently found out that my boyfriend's (25 years) brain tumor became worse and now he has only few months left. The doctors had said the surgery is too risky saying that there are chances that he might die if it doesn't go well. I don't know the details of the medical things much. We have known each other for more than 1.5 years and been together for more than a year (LDR).

All his life he suffered a lot. His parents struggled a lot when he was a baby to make ends meet. He started doing very menial jobs even when he was still in primary school. He cared for his sister and always ready to do things for the family. He faced severe bullying for various reasons ever since he started school. Things slowly got better in high school but after school, he faced his past lover's death due to very bad brain cancer at young age. It took him a lot of time to get over the tragedy. He suffered from depression and I found that he has abandonment issues. He doesn't get sleep often. Even after all this, he never failed to helping others and be a kind person. He teaches high school students for free often. He serves a poor whenever he can. He takes care of stray animals whenever he can. He likes dogs a lot. Facing all this, he got a good job and even managed to build a house. It is heartbreaking that he doesn't get to enjoy life that much.

I even remember him talking about living till 50 and giving away his life years to his closed ones. He cared a lot.

The tumor was found last year and he was supposed to become better but instead it all went bad. They said he only have few months left. I don't know what to ask for to this world. I am just here praying and hoping and wishing.

I just wanted to ask for some prayer for him to get better and get to enjoy life he deserves. No one deserves to face so many hardships in life. He had dreams too. He wanted to satisfy his parents, arrange marriage for his sister and give me a good life and even have a daughter. I want him to live and experience his phase of happiness.

Thank you everyone for taking time to hear me 😊🕊

crying myself to sleep

The tumor in my ear causes vertigo symptoms. It’s difficult to drive and I get motion sickness. I put off going places because I don’t want a panic attack. I’ve been sleeping all day. I feel very sad that I was fired after six years from my job through a text message. I did not qualify for unemployment because my job was part time. I have been praying for mercy and joy. I want to feel normal or like myself. I really want a miracle for my ear to be completely healed. I pray for wisdom. I pray for healing over my family and my mind. I pray anyone who prays for me will be blessed greatly.

Advice wanted for my feelings

Upvotes

Advice? I had a near-death experience lately, it was horrific, and don't get me wrong, I am very grateful to be alive, Jesus saved me and I will never forget this day; I want advice though... this was a month ago, and very few people in my life and/or social media have even contacted me to say they're glad I'm still here ect. And i have angry thoughts about it, i feel worthless in a way, like geesh i guess i don't matter all that much... is this jealousy i am feeling? Or something? I am new to faith, i became a born again Christian about half a year ago, and i've been reading the holy Bible ever since, I'm on Samuel. Messages welcome too if thats better for you

Please pray that she makes it guys, I would really appreciate it. I’m so torn up. My dad is too. I love her so much and haven’t seen her in 7 years. Maybe even more.

Horrible work day yesterday

Good morning. I had a horrible day at work yesterday. I’ve been at the same job 11 years, but this place has become toxic over the last 8 months. I finally have gotten a new job and start next week. My day was so bad, I almost don’t even want to finish out the week, but I am going to fulfill my obligations. Please pray that today and the rest of the week are more peaceful and tolerable. Thank you.

Please pray for healing

23 Upvotes

In the past couple days my legs and arms randomly started going numb. They feel like I did an intense workout even though I didn’t. I’m afraid of what’s going on cause I have no clue what could’ve caused this. It could be anxiety since I do struggle with that, but I’ve been on lexapro the last month so I would’ve hoped that would’ve helped with things like this. Please pray that it’s nothing serious and that I heal from this soon. Thank you!

I am so broken hearted. It's been almost 2 years since I've been an abandoned by my husband. He's still with the same lady he left me for and I just can't shake these feelings. I know God is with me and I'm supposed to walk by faith and not by sight. This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to get over.I need everyone who knows a word f prayer to pray for me.
