@BeautifulCana1 Lord, I pray for Dr. Peterson, that you would have mercy upon him and heal his illness. May you bless him and help him to grow in wisdom and love as he endures this season of suffering, and may he come to know you deeply.
Amen.
@pensandpoison I think The Brothers Karamazov is his deepest novel, but from a technical perspective I think Crime and Punishment is tighter. I also know Brothers was supposed to be longer but he had to wrap it up due to his declining health, so maybe with more time it would be better.
@philfCAL May God give you the strength to keep going one day at a time, and may He kindle hope in your heart for a brighter future. The path may be dark, but the Lord is with you.
Amen.
@tanylake Shitty words describe shitty things. Swear words shouldn’t be used lightly but there is an appropriate time and place for them, and I believe the church would do well to acknowledge that.
May God bless you on your journey of faith.
@JamesCarne49587 Lord, I ask that you would heal James and set him free from this trial of twenty years. May you bless him for his steadfast faith and grant him good health for the rest of his days.
Amen.
@Based_Jedi I am praying for your nephew, that the Lord would show mercy and heal him completely, that his parents will take him home in perfect health. May they be at peace as they navigate this ordeal, and may it increase their faith.
Amen.
@Patriotgirl1960@IIIDeaton I pray for your husband, that he would find answers to his questions, healing for his wounds, and a renewed zeal for his faith. I pray that your love would be a reflection of God’s love, and that you would be granted the strength and serenity to stand by him through this.
Amen.
@CatholicPebble I pray that God would speak to you as you quiet the distractions and step away from your phone, may you grow in wisdom as you learn to listen for the still, small voice once again. May you find forgiveness and redemption as you seek the Lord.
Amen.
@nathancbowling I pray that the Lord would give you the strength to endure your fate, whatever that may be, and that he would have mercy upon you. May you be surprised by His grace as he redeems your life in all its facets, and may you fall in love with the road Jesus leads you down.
Amen.
@metathomist I pray that the Lord would grant your wife a peace beyond understanding as she weathers this storm, that He would comfort her in her distress and give her hope for the future. May you both find solace in the fact that your child is waiting to meet you in heaven.
Amen.
@TyrReborn I suggest you read about CS Lewis’ conversion to Christianity, Tolkien made the argument that Jesus is the myth made history. Other religions and myths are mans attempt to articulate their innate desire for Christ, and Jesus is the fulfillment. Those connections are intentional.
@JendersII Thank you for sharing. May God bless you and your parents for your selfless courage and charity, and may your sister be filled with infectious joy and love.
I pray that their joy would be greater than their struggles, and that your perfect love would redeem and bring meaning to the pain they inevitably endure. Give them strength to persevere through their trials, provision to sustain them, and may they grow in love and mercy.
Amen.
May God bless all the parents of disabled children, who have sacrificed to serve the less fortunate. May your favor reside with those who, like Mary, knew their child was destined for hardship and suffering, yet bravely brought them into the world anyways.
@McJuggerNuggets May God curse you for your cowardice. You have failed as a father, a husband, and most importantly as a son of the Most High who entrusted you with a precious life to protect. Perhaps you will find forgiveness for your soul, but I pray that you find no peace here on earth.
Use me Lord, let my voice be your instrument to sing the songs in your heart for the West, to encourage the faithful and convict the unrepentant. Let your will be done through me in the name of Jesus.
Amen
I pray unto the Lord, maker of the heavens and the earth, on behalf of my nation and my people; for the days have grown dark and weariness hangs on the souls of us all. May there be a new wind! May you breathe life into us once again and speak to us a new word.
