Dear Friends, I ask for a prayer ...

[Vulreyn]

Dear Friends, I ask for a prayer for tomorrow morning about going to church. I have been a Christian for over a year. I spend a lot of time everyday getting close to the Word of God. I went to church once over a year ago, when I became Christian, and I never went back. I had so much anxiety that I created a list of reasons why I shouldn't go back to that church. In time, I told myself I would go to a different church, but I did not do that either. This week I had some pretty profound experiences with my relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I have felt so close, so moved, so touched that I decided tomorrow morning, I will go to church, that it is time. I will be going by myself, which isn't the issue; but I have a lot of anxiety in my heart. I have a lot of fear in my heart. A lot which stems from my childhood. Will I be accepted? Will I feel awkward? Will someone say something mean to me, or harm me? Will I feel like running away and once again, staying away from church, lying to myself that I will go back again next week? I ask for prayers for strength, courage, and encouragement, that I may walk in those doors with strength and courage, and sit, stand, kneel - to worship our Lord, Almighty God, Jesus Christ our Savior.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear friend Vulreyn. Lord, we thank You for the profound experiences and the closeness they have felt with You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit this week. We praise You for the work You are doing in their heart and for the desire You have placed within them to return to church.

Father, we ask for Your divine strength and courage to fill Vulreyn as they prepare to attend church tomorrow morning. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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." We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard Vulreyn's heart and mind, calming their anxieties and fears.

Lord, we pray that Vulreyn will feel Your presence and comfort as they walk through those church doors. Remind them of Your promise in Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." May they feel upheld by Your righteous right hand and know that they are never alone.

We also ask that You prepare the hearts of the congregation to be welcoming and kind, reflecting the love of Christ. Let Vulreyn find acceptance and fellowship, and may any feelings of awkwardness or fear be replaced with a sense of belonging and peace.

Lord, give Vulreyn the courage to stay and worship You, to sit, stand, and kneel in Your presence, knowing that they are loved and accepted by You. Help them to overcome any past hurts and fears, and to trust in Your perfect plan for their life.

We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the work You are doing in Vulreyn's life. We trust in Your promises and believe that You will provide the strength and courage needed for this step of faith.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
