SAE, thank you for starting this thread. I have read through it and will endeavor to keep all in my prayers. peace be with you all, WhyTanFox Brother Fox, Our prayers will continually be lifted up in and through the Spirit for you and your families situation. If you need to talk with someone via IM then we are all available anytime. I have also been a small business owner and know how some of these things can be. Would you consider becoming a prayer partner here? Many times we as christians, myself included can and will recieve the answers that we need by acting in selfless ways toward others. These things always without fail come to the Father's attention as a sign of our resolve to serve Him no matter what the circumstances might be. Father our God, I pray this humble prayer for my brother WhyTanFox right now directly out of Your Word as a blessing to and on him and his family, just as You directed Aaron and his sons to bless Israel as a permanent ordinance for their edification: The LORD bless you and protect you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD look with favor upon you and give you peace, by the Blood of the Name, Amen and shalom to Jesus Christ, the Great ''Bright and Morning Star* '' |

I would like prayer:
That the lord finishes the work he started in me. That I have the guts to do his will (hey It's scary, I worry I'm gonna blow it). That my bad back gets better (or at least stops hurting) And for employment. |

If the Lord would do these things for me, then why wouldn't He do this for anyone who is called by His Name? It is also not God's will for you to travail over the situations that you face right now or ever, my brother. Let these things go, and turn them over to Him. This is His will concening you and the one's you love, and He loves. Then you are free. IM me anytime you would like to, it would be good to hear from you. Also please pray for the one's who have posted in about their and their familiy's sicknesses and physical issues recently. This will bring you peace and healing through the Holy Spirit, for He never touches anything that remains unchanged. All of us here will keep you in our thoughts and our prayers. Your brother, SAE |

life is never simple 末 please continue to keep me in your prayers. I will update as available.
ETA I have taken this second job and will work it while trying to keep the family business afloat. Last-second data makes me think that the family business may be unsalvageable, which has suddenly left me in a very unstable place. All I can do is ask the Lord to grant me the strength and focus to pull through. Yesterday afternoon a different job opportunity arose; it pays a lot less, but the hours and commute are much more manageable... most importantly, it allows me to keep a considerably larger hand in the family business.
I feel better about the future than I have in months; my wife 末 who hated everything about the first job (as did I) 末 is excited by this new opportunity. While I still have to sell this idea to the Patriarch, I feel as if a great load has been lifted off my shoulders. I thank the Lord for this opportunity, and I thank everyone who prayed on my behalf. I will continue to follow this thread and keep everyone in my prayers. peace, WhyTanFox |

Briefly, in the midst of a panic attack I fell to my knees and prayed, mostly for strength and focus as I try to steer my company through these waters.
I then took a break to post this to ARFCOM :-) I haven't been a strong pray-er, and mentioned so to my pastor (haven't been a great church attend-er, either :-/). Her reply: t is certainly clear from Scripture that God welcomes our prayers and that whatever is on our minds and hearts, and whenever we are moved to call upon God, God is not only "available" but wants us to turn to him.
So I have been turning to God, in force no less. I will continue to keep all here in my prayers and request that everyone else do the same. yours in Christ, WhyTanFox |

If you all could pray for peace and a painless passing for my mother. She is in the dying stages right now. Could be minutes or possibly a couple days at best. Her body is no longer taking food or drink. She has had Alzheimers for many years now and it is taking its' toll. She is 87. She knows the Lord and has lived a full life. Her name is Alice. Thanks all :) Don

How about some prayer for sister Junbuggg. I'm sure you all see her posts are all deleted, I don't know why. Why don't we all pray for her that whatever is going on she can be at peace with it.
Edit for spelling. |

May I humbly ask for a prayer?
There are so many people far worse off. I want to die. Every day I wake up and just have the desire to die. This has been going on for a while now. I have seen a doctor but just can't shake it. I am truly grateful for all God has blessed me with and there are many things. Each night I endure the same nightmare of being strangled with piano wire. Each morniing I end up in tears getting out of bed facing the day. I am not stupid enough to act on it but am tired of the nagging desire. Even though I am surrounded by people all the time and have thousands friends... it is still there. I pray constantly and that gets me through. I don't expect anyone to understand this. I don't even understand it myself. This is embarassing. I think God is the only answer when everything else has failed. 
Thank you for the prayer |

Thank you for the prayer Prayer inbound. Don't be embarrassed, we all have issues that we need to lift up to the Lord. That's exactly what this thread is for. |

I would like to request prayer for the safety of the members of the church I attend. I missed church last Sunday (no ride), but apparently one of our members in the Sunday school class I attend had some sort of meltdown, made threats, and was banned from the church premises.
It was brought up today so people would know what was being done about the situation. From what I understand, the guy, who I'll call LMG, lost his temper over a difference of interpretation of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 7 and stormed out of the church, no threat made at that point. He initially was only going to be banned for two weeks. But he sent out an email to some of the church members (I didn't get one) on Monday or Tuesday in which he made what I would consider a threat. He said that either our Sunday school leader was a witch or somebody above him was a witch. He then stated that he was God's instrument of cleansing and that he was going to cleanse the church of witchcraft. I really don't want the church to end up being on CNN. I don't know if the church has an active shooter plan in place. A lot of KCSO deputies attend the church thankfully. They direct traffic after church. I believe they are reservists for KCSO and don't know if they are armed. From what I understand, LMG was kicked out of the last church he attended. I don't know for what behavior, but I would imagine it was for something similar. I get the impression from listening to people today that LMG might be mentally ill. Thank you for your prayers. I was friends with LMG on Facebook but have since defriended him. Apparently he has his own website, http://www.theendtimeprophet.com/. His youtube page; http://www.youtube.com/user/EndTimeProphet |

Just checking in to write that I'm continuing to pray for everyone... including Junebuggg, if she's reading this.
My second job seems to be working out OK, but I still cannot shake the ever-present fear of... I don't know. Economic failure, foreclosure, homelessness... I tend to either dwell on the topic until paralyzed or hide in mindless distractions. Please, continue to keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Yours in Christ, WhyTanFox |

This is a great thread!
Would y'all please pray for my grandson. My wife and I have been watching him this week while my daughter is working out of town. He is in kindergarten, and is having a rough time. We suspect he has some sort of learning disability or behavioral problem. He's from a broken home and also appears to have some anger issues. It breaks my heart to see such a soft-hearted, loving little boy have to fight these demons. My daughter's parenting skills are also somewhat lacking. It has become very apparent while staying with us for a whole week that this child needs devine help. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you, a-bare |
