Better together

Prayer is powerful. At Grace we believe in praying for each other. Prayer is a way we can encourage one another and become more like Jesus as we spend time with God. Here you can post your own prayer request or let others know that you are praying for them.

I recently experienced verbal harassment from another customer at a grocery store, and I was disappointed that staff did not meaningfully intervene despite witnesses being present. Instead, I felt that my concerns were dismissed when I expressed my frustration calmly. Since this was not the first time I have had a negative experience at this location, I plan to shop elsewhere going forward. Please keep me in your prayers that I will be spared from similar situations and experience more respectful and peaceful interactions in public places.

Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, I ask for Your divine protection over me, my family, and all those I love. By the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, I reject every evil word, curse, prayer, fear, and attack sent against us. Let every plan of the enemy be broken, and let Your Spirit raise a standard against all darkness. Cover us with the precious blood of Jesus, surround us with Your angels, and keep us safely under the shelter of Psalm 91. I declare that no weapon formed against us will prosper, and I thank You for Your faithful protection, peace, and victory. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in agreement, lifting the nations of the world before Your throne of grace. We ask You to bring peace where there is war, hope where there is despair, healing where there is sickness, comfort to those who mourn, and provision for those in need. Strengthen the oppressed, protect the vulnerable, guide those responding to crises, and soften the hearts of leaders so they would pursue justice, mercy, and peace according to Your will. We pray that violence would cease, communities would be restored, and people everywhere would experience Your love and faithfulness. Above all, we ask for the salvation of all people, that many would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, for it is Your desire that none should perish but that all come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4). Raise up leaders after Your own heart who will serve with wisdom, integrity, and compassion, and strengthen Your Church around the world with boldness, perseverance, and the assurance of Your constant presence. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

A family member is in the hospital recovering from heart surgery, and I hope their recovery goes well and that any complications are resolved. Another family member has been struggling with stress, mental overwhelm, and health issues, including ongoing concerns with their eyesight, and I hope they are able to heal and manage everything more easily. I hope the weather cooperates with my plans this Friday and Sunday. I also hope my current wheelchair continues to hold up until I am eventually able to get a replacement. There are many responsibilities and commitments to keep up with, and I hope the workload becomes more manageable. While I am glad to help where I can, I also hope others are able to handle more things independently when possible. I would appreciate having my privacy respected over the coming days, and I hope everything remains calm and uneventful. Finally, I hope I am able to attend church on Sunday as planned.

Our family has been coming to Grace for 4 years now and been so blessed with the pastoral team and the good messages and practical take homes every week. 3 weeks ago my husband was diagnosed with double walking pneumonia. He was at SMH for 2 weeks and was transferred to PAM Hospital a week ago yesterday. He has been on heated high flow oxygen because he can’t keep his own oxygen stabilized. It has been an extremely rough road. We have no idea how long he will be in the hospital. Yesterday morning I received a call from the Dr here, saying he took a turn for the worse and if they didn’t get his oxygen under control, he would need to be intubated or he could code. He bounced back thankfully and was able to come off the cpap machine and back to the high flow machine. Every morning he seems to struggle with keeping his numbers up, and by 11am or so numbers improve. So much more to tell, but my husband was wondering about an anointing service. We have had so many people praying, even more people than we even know which is amazing and what has been so comforting to us. Unfortunately, those racing thoughts particularly for him, financial, discouragement, anxiety all pile up as he can only lay in bed basically without his oxygen plummeting. So any advice or wise counsel and prayers would be welcomed.
