Hey there Sistergreek,
I'm sorry to hear of your aunt's passing.
One of my aunts passed away less than 9 months ago herself.
I just spoke to MS tonight and last night and I asked about DJ.
You stay strong too.

Please pray for me. I am going through some rough times financially and personally and just need some general prayer for strength. Thank you.

Good morning memberfriends and sisterfriends,

I wanted to ask you all for your prayers. My dear friend is a member of a graduate chapter in Petersburg, VA, and her son is currently hospitalized. All that I know is that he has fluid on his brain from a sinus infection and had to be hospitalized yesterday. I am very worried for him and for her, and since she is like a sister to me, I wanted to come and ask her Sisters to help me lift her and her son up in prayer. I will keep you all updated.

Thank you!

Oh my, aneurysms are no joke. Be thankful at this point she made it to surgery. One of my chapter sorors had the same thing happen to her and they got her to the hospital on time. She is now doing great.

Thanks! That gives me hope, soror. She got out of surgery this morning and while operating, another vesel burst. The doctors were able to fix that as well. Right now it's wait and see until she's off the medication.

Also pray to give my cousin (her daughter) strengh. She just had twins in April and now this.

And repeat that for me. All this year I've felt this way. 2008 just has to be better.

I need some prayer as well. First, my grandmother is sick and my family is crazy. Second, I am looking for a new car (I am very anal about this) & I can't find it and third, I need a financial blessing asap. In Jesus Name.

Hey All,

I saw this and wanted to share...go before the Lord with a grateful heart and HIS will in your spirit.


What are some Bible verses on prayer?

Below you will see a selection of Bible verses on prayer:

Prayer is Effective
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15).

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express" (Romans 8:26).

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" (James 4:3).

The Teachings of Jesus
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him" (Matthew 6:5-8).

"To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: "God, I thank you that I am not like other men-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get." But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted"'" (Luke 18:9-14).

"'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'" (Mark 11:22-25).

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13-14).

^^^^^Thank you for that DivineDiva! Please pray for me as well. I have been going through with finances and I am trying to maintain and stay strong. I'm thanking God for my family's support and encouragement....but sometimes it is hard to be in good spirits all of the time. I know that rejection is a part of life and are only stepping stones for greater things...I am just getting tired...I really need strength. It is so much going on right now that I feel like I am being pulled in so many different directions...I just want to stop everything but I know gotta keep pressing and moving forward to get to where I want to go...I just need some help and your prayers...

[nikki1920]

Just put one foot in front of the other. And Thank HIM for all that comes your way, good, bad, ugly, whatever.

[ljkelly]

Thank you!! I really needed this!

I ask that who ever will pray for my family as we celebrate Denita's life and cope with her untimely death one year later...

Denita interned for a local paper so there is an article on www.Charlotte.com about this already...hopefully someone will be held accountable for this senseless loss...
