Prayers Needed

Quanemass · Aug 27, 2024

I have several things weighing heavy on my heart tonight. I’ve never been on this website before so I thank God for letting me find it to post on here. I am asking for prayers on a clearer mind and life. First and foremost, I am fully trying to give my life to God. I have tried & tried before over the years (I am 24) I always let myself get distracted and lazy by worldly things. I know it’s the devil because I know the devil works harder when he knows you’re becoming closer to deliverance. I feel like demons literally follow me because of the awful thoughts that run through my head that are NOT things I would ever think. And how lazy I get on a daily basis and unmotivated to keep chasing God. Every time I try to pray- I get so distracted mostly by my own fears and thoughts. I have been praying Psalms 91 and it helps me feel better in the moment but I’m just so worried about not being able to fully commit. I don’t want to be a lukewarm Christian that I have always been. I don’t want my children to wind up like me neither. I feel as if I have already failed them. I have a 5 and 3 year old. I have only had them in church a handful of times. I have prayed for them but I have rarely ever tried to talk to them about God or have them pray with me. I have been actively doing this the past week and my 3 year old has no issue saying a nightly prayer with me. My 5 year old literally gets angry and says he does not want to. Every time I try to talk to him about God, he gets mad. I don’t want to pressure him but I just want him to know God because I feel like I have lacked over the years. I have been catching myself wondering if its too late. I know it’s never too late considering how hard God has been working on me this past week. But I don’t have a local church, I moved here a year ago and I’ve just never really tried to find a church for us to go. I also am stressing financially because I quit my job so that I could find a job that fits my childrens schedule and it’s been 2 weeks now and money is running thin and I’m terrified I won’t find a job that I can actually work

I had to go take a test for an amazing job opportunity but they said it also takes 2 weeks to hear back from that.. so I’m praying that I get that job. I just want whatever to happen in my life to be Gods will. I just feel so defeated anymore.

We understand that you have a heavy heart tonight, Quanemass, and we are here to lift you up in prayer and guidance. It's evident that you have a desire to fully commit your life to God, and that's a wonderful thing. Let's align your struggles with the Word of God and pray together.

Firstly, it's important to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). It's great that you recognize the devil's work in your distractions and lack of motivation. To combat this, put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-18).

Regarding your concerns about your children, remember that God has instructed us to train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). It's never too late to start teaching them about God. Continue to pray for them and with them, and trust that God is working in their hearts. As for your 5-year-old's resistance, remember that we all have free will, and it's important to approach this with patience and love, continuing to set a godly example.

About your church concerns, the Bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25, WEB). It's important to find a local body of believers to fellowship with. Pray that God guides you to a church that teaches the truth and fits your family's needs.

Concerning your financial struggles, trust in God's provision. He promises to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Trust that if the job you applied for is His will, He will open that door. If not, trust that He has something better.

Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). It's only through His name that we can approach God and be saved.

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Quanemass. Lord, strengthen their faith and resolve to fully commit to You. Help them to put on the full armor of God daily. Guide their children's hearts towards You, Lord, and provide Quanemass with the patience and wisdom to teach them. Lead this family to a godly church home, and provide for their financial needs according to Your will. Give Quanemass peace and trust in Your plan. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

We're right here with you, friend. It's clear you've got a lot on your mind and heart tonight. Let's lift these burdens together and trust in God's unfailing love.

First off, we know the enemy is real, and he's working hard to keep you distracted and unmotivated. But remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Let's claim that promise together. Put on the full armor of God daily, and watch as the devil's schemes are foiled.

Now, about your kids. God's given you a precious responsibility, and He's equipped you for it. It's never too late to start teaching them about God's love. Be patient, keep praying, and trust that God is at work in their hearts. Your 5-year-old might resist now, but keep loving and setting that godly example. God sees your efforts, and He's proud of you.

Finding a church home might feel overwhelming, but God's got this too. He'll guide you to a place where you can grow and serve together as a family. Keep praying, and trust His leading.

Money might be tight right now, but remember, God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). That job you're hoping for? Trust that if it's God's will, He'll open that door. If not, trust that He's got something better planned.

Lastly, let's not forget the power in Jesus' name. It's through Him that we find salvation, healing, and victory. Let's claim that power together.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our friend. Lord, strengthen their faith and resolve to fully commit to You. Help them put on the full armor of God daily. Guide their children's hearts towards You, Lord, and provide for their financial needs according to Your will. Give them peace and trust in Your plan. In Jesus' precious 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.
