My wife went to be with the Lord on this date 1 year ago, I met Donny just a few days later, we stood and prayed together in a Canadian grocery store. While it has been a tough year, the hardest season of my life, my sorrow has been tempered by the joy of knowing she now stands in the Glory of our God, truly the ONLY place I would rather her be than by my side. I pray that if the hurt, pain and grief in this life can be used to bring us closer to Him, may the tears fall like rain. My grandson asked Jesus into his heart recently and was baptized today at our church, he chose this day to do it so that there would be more than the sorrow of losing his Nana, there would be the joy of finding his Savior. All Glory to Him El Elyon.

Hello, I am new to the community and it feels vulnerable to ask for prayers, but I am going through big moment of healing and feeling deep pain and anger and need help with forgiving myself and others for the pain that was inflicted on me and the pain I've caused others. Im having a hard time opening to the love and grace of God and could use support and prayers. Thank you so much.

For strenghtened faith as I try to hold fast to my spiritual convictions through these challenging times. I want to get to a point that the outside influences of the world won't take hold of me and that I can have the courage to be a beacon to others as you are to us. Thank you for giving of your time, faith and prayers. They are felt.

Donny I’m not asking for any prayers for myself. I’m asking for prayers for you for Graham and for Kerry. Pray that both Graham and Kerry continue their journeys and find joy and happiness everything that they do.

And the prayer for you is that you continue these prayer walks and continue to give of yourself in the kind and gentle manner that you do. I don’t believe that you truly understand what an inspiration you are to all of us thank you.

I have a prayer request as a Mom and former teacher. This time of year is stressful for teachers as they wrap everything up towards the end of the school year and many changes happen this time of year. Pray for teachers to be able to endure these last few weeks of the school year. Also, kids are tired of certain things at all grade levels. They are ready for a break. Please pray that they can focus on school. This time of year tends to be violent in nature for some reason towards the end of the school year in the United States for some reason and I definitely would appreciate it if you pray for the safety of students, teachers, and staff nationwide.

As for a personal request, I pray for patience and wisdom as a Mom with a full plate that seems to be overflowing some days lol.

Over a year ago I requested prayer for my son Chris who suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. I really appreciated the prayer and kind comments in response to that request and I even shared them with Chris for encouragement. He was touched that strangers would show such concern. He continues to recover to regain memory but has very intense anxiety and depression. He is presently an inpatient to try and get these problems under control. Please pray for the professionals wisdom in treating him and for his continued recovery. His collapse was 2 years ago this month at the age of 36.

Thank you,

Leah

Hi Donny, I have to do the talk at Church on 27th and would appreciate prayer that I would know for sure what it is God wants me to talk on. I think it is on Doubt but then realised I had listened to a talk by Craig Groshel on doubt about 4 weeks ago so wondered if I was thinking of that when I read John 29:19-31 TPT and the phrase at the end of v27 jumped out at me.

I lost my husband two years ago and my life has been turned completely upside down! Now I feel as though I’m coming out the other side of this grief process.

We bought our dream home which since his passing I’ve had to sell and now live in a tiny home in my son’s backyard. I have health issues which is why I chose this option. I know later in my life I’m going to need help which is why I chose this option.

The sermon in church today was about seeking God’s peace that he so generously offers to each of us, every day! Please pray for peace of mind for me!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you and God bless!!!

God's peace be with you LeAnn. My husband died in 2023 also. I'm glad you can say that you feel as though you are coming out the other side of this grief process. I can say the same. I found a program called GriefShare (griefshare.org), hosted by many denominations in the US and Canada, in person and online. In the program they would say that what you described were signs of healing. I keep looking for those, and pray that you will continue to find signs of healing.

Blessings,

Linda

Pray for my step mom Karol. Her health is going down hill fast.

Also pray for my husband, he is a long haul trucker. He is tired. He has been in the seat for 35 years. He has over 5 million miles under his belt. His health is not the best but it is getting better. He stays out on the road for weeks at a time. When he comes home, he usually gets a couple days off and has to go again. He is our only income as I am physically disabled.

God bless you.

Donny, I would like to thank you and all that prayed for my mom. She was home for about three weeks and had to put her back in the hospital last week. Thank God she gets to come home tomorrow. God is good! Please pray that I will continue to make the right decisions for her as her mind is not good since she fell and hit her head.

I am struggling with staying in Virginia and miss my home in Tennessee. I know this is selfish on my part.

How does someone deal with an unfounded boundary. How does one pray about that? Do you just step away or just become quiet? How does one figure out why?

Expand full comment
Donny Mac's avatar

I think it is important to first define what an "unfounded boundary" is. Unfounded according to whom?

How was that position measured? With scripture, personal feelings, desired outcomes, hurt?

I believe it is wise to pray openly and honestly to God the father, who knows everything already. Confess any sin you may have to him and then make your request known to Him. It is important to reflect on how Jesus prayed in the garden before he was taken to be crucified ... "not my will, but Gods be done".

Does one "need" to figure out the "why"?

Why does one feel they "need" to know the why? For what purpose? To serve and love people better? To count others as more important than oneself?

Please pray for your good friend, Graham. In his “live” this morning he seemed distressed and talked about it. He has put himself into a very difficult situation and the way out is escaping him. Pray that while he is on his road trip he finds peace, courage and a vision for his future that I believe is in Canada. He is not himself, looks lost and I believe in need of all our prayers. I pray he doesn’t let his pride stop him from finding real peace.

Pray for your good friend Graham as he continues in a direction completely opposite of what he has been telling us, His followers to do. Pray for the Lord to give him the courage and strength to do the right thing for his health and wellbeing. He is getting off track. We pray for him daily hoping that he will see the light. He has told us of his struggles in his last chat. His buzz words, authenticity, integrity seem to be lost in the fog.

Can you imagine being married to someone who doesn’t touch you? Unless it’s holding on to an arm I’m not touched at all. I can’t change his heart only God can. This leaves me lonely and not really loved. I don’t know what to do about it other than pray. I feel like a turtle just wanting to hide away.
