/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

I have a burning desire to help people. But I have a lot of trouble coming to them (health problems of various kinds, I'm a bit of a wreck). But people have been coming to me, though so few.

Please pray that more can find me. I want to help so much, but I am so limited.

Thank you.

Can you guys pray for me to loose this weight by June, I really need some hope here.

A family I'm friends with. Either there's some really bad stuff going on, or one of them is telling lies.

Also my gf and her family, and our relationship. There's a lot going on right now. Not necessarily bad stuff, but it's challenging.

>>262788

Gotcha.

>>262789

Will do. Do you want help? I'm into fitness stuff, and my brother is a trainer.

I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I'm sick all the time and exhausted.

the exhaustion is fucking my memory, I've been retreading the same steps over and over again for the last 3 years.

I just want God's purpose for my life to be fulfilled, whatever it is. I feel like I'm stuck in mud. Maybe this is God's will for me to be where I'm at now, I don't know. But pray for me that God's will be done in my life and that I will be obedient and faithful to the end.

Pray for my grandmother's health. She will probably die soon.

My Grandfather has Pancreatic Cancer. He's fairly old. He's Pentecostal Leaning but believes in Christ. I don't care if he's a protestant, I love my grandfather. this board made me believe in the older and founded ways of Christianity.

I contacted him for the first time in a long time. I'm Catholic/orthodox he's old.

He wants to be able to celebrate his 59th anniversary with my Grandma is worried about it since he may not live another year.

It's not much more then a wish. James m. Campbell Sr. That's his name.

God Bless.

Writing an entrance exam for an Actuarial Science program. I've been neet for a year, I don't want to go back or fail. Applied to two universities, I just want to start my life.

>>262789

Same boat as you anon. I've been dieting since January, I've changed to a faster one since last week though. Don't know if my experience/lessons learned may be of interest but I'm willing to share.

Please pray for the conversion of my family. I'm from and live in a small Norwegian town and come from a non-religious family. Except for my cousin, none of them know I'm Catholic (technically I'm not yet. There's no Catholic church in my town.) It's not that I'm hiding it per se, but I don't know how to bring it up (we're not exactly the sharing types). I'm gonna have to sooner or later though if I want them saved.

>>262787

Pray that the archaeologist will find more for the bible so that those who against us will be without an excuse, and for G-d will unify his followers as one church.

>>262884

That isn't going to change anything dude. People can have miracles do things right before their eyes and it won't change anything. They, quite literally, chalk it up to themselves being delusional rather than trust what they see with their own eyes.

>>262887

Like I said "without an excuse."

However, their had been atheist converted to Christianity because it evidence supporting it.

>>262787

my GF's mother is having heart problems. Pray for her health please.

>>262872

>>262791

I keep feeling tired after I eat, why. Even when I am not eating carbs. Also natural anxiety cures?

Could you guys pray for me to get this receptionist job I really want.

I might've messed up my hand pretty decent today. And I'm a mechanic, so my hand is not a good thing to have messed up.

>>262918

How active are you? Some people get tired all the time just because they don't do enough.

And, no lie, nofap was good for my anxiety. I'm also looking into some cool mindset stuff that seems to help, but I'm too tired to get into all that at the moment.

I'm Depressed. I'm single. There's no good women here. It's been 3 years since I've last seen a woman my age who is also a Christian.

I would really appreciate prayers to get me out of this hole.

>>263234

I will pray, but not for you to find someone, but for you to quit this mindset that you need a woman in your life all the time.

Your life should be about giving glory to Jesus, not about some broad. If it is God's purpose that you find a new love, then it will be done, but you shouldn't worry about such things.

Nevertheless, you will need prayer, as mating is a difficult instinct for a young man to just drop. It took me a long time to get to the point I am at now, and even them, I'm not entirely "fixed", so to speak.

>>262918

I got in touch with my brother (a bodybuilder), I asked what could cause that. He said you are probably eating the wrong carbs (something about glycimic index, I'll ask him to elaborate when I get ahold of him again) and spiking your insulin. Also he said you are probably over eating in a short span. He said go for low GI carbs and eat less at a time. Like cut your meal in half, eat it, then wait a while and eat the other half.

He did say it's fairly normal for a lot of people to be tired after eating, so even if this doesn't "fix" it, it's just something people do. I know he used to eat his meal real fast then nap for his lunch breaks.

Also get your blood pumping to see if that is a cause, like do some jumping jacks and push ups.

Please pray for my chronic swollen throat.

Please pray for me to overcome my pornoghraphy addiction. I've tried to break it on my own, but i just keep failing. I'm begining to accept myself as resigned to hell.

>>263238

>I will pray, but not for you to find someone, but for you to quit this mindset that you need a woman in your life all the time.

If you are not going to pray for my intention, then do not pray for me at all.

And yes I do need a woman in my life, it's human nature to want to be fruitful and multiply.

>Your life should be about giving glory to Jesus, not about some broad.

Please point out where I said I wasn't already giving glory to Jesus? You are making an unfair assumption.

Wanting a woman does not take away from that, in fact, being able to start a family with a woman would allow me to become even closer to Jesus.

>Nevertheless, you will need prayer, as mating is a difficult instinct for a young man to just drop. It took me a long time to get to the point I am at now, and even them, I'm not entirely "fixed", so to speak.

That's not natural. It appears you are the one in need of prayer, brother.

>>263829

I've got you.

Pray for my faith, to make it stronger, please.

I haven't seen my father in 9 years. He abused my mum and I when I was little and our family has been fairly divided ever since.

Please pray that he gets saved someday and that I could meet him again to tell him that I forgive him.

>>263829

stay strong. whenever you feel bored or lonely avoid using the computer. you'd be surprised how often you do it just because you're feeling lethargic, not even lustful.

its like nutrition. one of the best way to avoid eating junk food is not to abstain when you have it in your house/apartment, but to simply not have it in your house/apartment at all.

I'll pray for you.

>>263829

You got my spiritual prayer sword my fellow brethren of Afro-American descent through Christ.

I'm trying to get another job, but it's hard without a piece of paper.

Please pray for me.

I just want discipline and motivation back into my life. I feel like I'm slowly going crazy and falling off track. I fear I will sin greatly at this rate and regret it. I want to stop these sinful thoughts and being tempted as well as keeping a righteous mind for a better future and have steadfast faith. I just want things to go well

My great-grandmother is in hospital with ill health.. She raised my mother and has played the role of grandmother to me and is a marvelous woman, in case you feel a great-grandmother is not that special to someone. She turned to Christ a few years ago after a whole lifetime of sin without faith, but unfortunately it is a pentecostal liberal church…I hope she has sufficient faith, she is getting older and weaker.

That is all, thank you.

>>263973

That's a very noble desire indeed, anon. May God make it so.

I am going on a 3 day fast, please pray for my resolve to be strong, thank you.

Im struggling a lot with hentai and this is my last major vice in life. I would really like some prayer help with this. I can only see vaguely sometimes how this desire can exit my life and I know its possible but I will accept any help.

>>263954

Done but try the extra biblical sources video by Chris White and videos by Chuck missler to help build your faith.

>>262887

I have to disagree. What brought me to Christ in part is all the data that said he was a real person and others debated his miracles at the time.

>>264023

I gotcha.

Just some stuff I threw together. I'm not sure it'll help but pray and see.

Someone I know, a Catholic mom, may be having a miscarriage right now. She went to the ER with heavy cramps and bleeding.

i dont usually pray for anything for myself but i would really like prayers for me to help me be with a girl i know.

Shes a very special christian girl, im pretty much ready to start a family, have a good income and really love her alot.

Unfortunately she is taken atm so I don't know what to do. Hopefully God can help me

pray more than you breathe

Please pray for me to have the wisdom to do the right thing with my relationship.

Yesterday I prayed to Jesus to let me know if I have lost my soul to the devil. later that day I saw two candle lanterns outside of a dumpster standing to each other; a small one and big one. Later in the night while I was walking home from a resturant, I saw a street light go out in front of me, i got spooked afterwards. Maybe I'm being silly but I cannot deny that the lord is trying to warn me. So please for me in hopes that I get my soul back

>>265270

Do not feel alone. I have been there too. God will lead you out of it. Just follow his teachings and the path will be made straight.

Pray that Alex comes back and adds some janitors or something. I hate coming here and seeing CP spam.

>>262788

Have you tried volunteering at church?

>>262789

>>262872

Try to walk as much as you can.

>>262795

>>262798

>>263234

>>264023

This is my test as well. I seem to be stuck and I haven't done anything or gone anywhere in two years. Unless I'm completely oblivious to what God has given me. Pray that your eyes are opened.

Done.

>>262874

Is there no Lutheran church near you?

>>265285

>Have you tried volunteering at church?

Logistically that isn't possible for me. Well it is in that I can physically get there, but at great enough danger to my physical health that it would prevent me from helping anyone else for a long time.

I am a weak, anxious person and I easily get put down by words.

Please pray for me so I can have a stronger mind and have courage to stand up against evil.

>>265285

>Pray that your eyes are opened.

Open to what?

>>265395

Exactly.

>>265333

Done.

>>265404

That doesn't make any sense. I know I'm called to marriage, what could my eyes be opened too? You are not clear.

My 94 year old grandfather fell last week and broke his hip, he's currently in the hospital. He's survived strokes and a heart attack in his 90s before, but my parents say this might be it. He and the rest of my dad's side of the family are Catholic, and he's a good one so I'm no worried for his soul or anything, but I know everyone wants him to stay longer. Please pray for his health, and that if he can't stay that he'll go painlessly and peacefully.

You'll really pray for me? I need all the help I can get. I'm in therapy and antidepressants, but the fight for my self-actualization is mired in lethargy and bouts of self-destructive behavior. I'm on the verge of starting my own video production company, a one-man operation, but working on my reel is extremely hard, in ways that are difficult to explain. Through the last couple of years I've been coming and going from my commitment to God. It's like I'm at the tipping point of overcoming my depression but every step forward comes with greater resistance from the worst side of myself.

>>265667

>>265771

I prayed for you guys, this is some tough stuff man.

>>265802

thank you.

>>265802

thank you

Hey, friends. My girlfriend came to me and informed me that her grandfather, who has been dealing with COPD, is terminally ill and only has a few months left. She's taking it very hard, as her father has been gone for a while and her grandfather is her father figure. It's going to be financially and emotionally tough on their family. I'm fine and just doing my part to comfort and love her. I just ask that you lift her grandfather up in prayer and that the Lord gives them comfort and guidance. Thanks, anons. God bless.

>>267372

Why? if it's not to much too ask?

>>267376

She wants to focus on getting the business side of her life on the move right now, and it's difficult to juggle that with a relationship.

I also have some big plans in the oven, and admittedly it'll probably be easier to get those rolling if I'm not dating, but I would have preferred to stay together and grow alongside each other.

please pray give me strength and the willpower to keep my composure when i am being tested and to help me study harder.

please pray for me not to indulge by baser wants

>>263829

Got you dawg

Please pray for my sister, who has been bed ridden for over a year with a mysterious, strange, severe form of chronic fatigue syndrome, where she is constantly stressed, anxious and feels like she can't breathe and is going to die. We don't know how much is physical and how much is mental, but your prayers for her to get better and find solace in God would be ever appreciated.

Thank you

>>267372

>>267399

Situation is getting much worse. Please pray.

My life is finally turning around with me going back to school and picking up new hobbies but I've hit a rough patch. My family is having a hard time keeping up with the early taxes on the house so we're having a rough month food wise. My dog has a big injury and we've been dressing/cleaning/disinfecting the wound in hopes that he'll get better but we don't have the large sum of money our local vet needs to even take a look at him. The most we've been able to do is have someone with medical experience take a look at him and help us with it. If things take a turn for the worse we could go homeless.

I have faith in the lord and even though I know I am not the best person I don't want my family to suffer. Even if you can't spare the time to pray for me please pray for my family and please pray for my dog., He's one of the things that helped me keep it together in life.

Also if it's not too much please pray that I'll become closer to god. I'm not a good christian, in fact I'm a pretty big sinner but I've been trying to turn my life around this whole year. I just want to be able to throw away my worries and put my life in the hands of the lord.

>>268109

I'll pray for you.

http://pastebin.com/xMQ9wAwW

Some resources. I don't know if any will speak to you as useful but maybe will help you think of something else.

>>268023

I'm suffering a similar situation but I've at least started the process thanks to God sincerely of diagnosing it.

I'll keep your sister in my prayers.

>>268123

Thank you, I'm sorry to hear you're going through a similar thing, I can't imagine anything worse. I will pray for you and my sister. May God bless you.

Please pray for my sister, a non-believer. who has attempted suicide.

Been struggling with masturbation and pornography lately. I really want to stop. Pray with me so I can finally reject this sin for good.

It's a long story, but we have 3 raccoon kits. Its mom won't pick them up anymore, and 2 have already died but looked pretty weak at the start. There is one left that looks strong and healthy and we are doing everything we are told. My grandmother who lives in a rural area who has experience with animals says she will take it in. But please pray for its safety.

Pray that I grow more charitable, understanding, overcome porn, & find a job or a cheaper apartment asap

>>268994

I'll pray for you since I'm right there with you brother. Been keeping myself busy with more productive things than masturbating but i still struggle.

>>267372

>>268108

Situation has improved… might be getting back together. But there are some significant disagreements to work through. Please pray that God would kill my pride, guide me clearly, and help me hold to the truth.

Also, I've been working on a little project (my YouTube channel about quitting porn). Please pray for me, that I would be effective and helpful, and that God would be glorified. And that I wouldn't get greedy if it grows a lot.

You are all fueling satanic powers through OP

You don't need anyone but God and God alone.

>>269167

Asking people to help in prayer was and is a good thing, stop dividing pls

PRAY FOR SWEDEN PLEAse

>>265333

I was like this too, actually I'm still on the process. What made me stronger was exposing myself to stressful situations like, if you have a brother try provoking, or even better ask him to help you. Also look up some videos on YouTube to inspire you, search for how to be an alpha male, how to be a man, this kind of thing. Concentrate on the ones that show the mindset. Hope it helps

First of all thank you for doing this thread. As it is written, "Pray for one another." and, "the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much."

I am a sinner for I have desires from the /loli/ board. Also I desire ill against those who hurt me. I wish to be a better husband and father, and I hope to have the will of the Lord done in my life and for my children to serve him. May they bless his name and serve him from their youth.

I also need to convince my wife to attend church with me.

Also my career is in a dead end and as you can tell from my prayers I have grown very selfish. Please pray for me. I do not pray enough.

>>269014

Tell me your qualifications for work, I may have options. I went to a temp service and found temp to hire work. They now reimburse me for night school.

I do accounting as my major so I may also be able to help with bad credit which will help with apartments and mortgages. Ever get a secured credit card? It jumped my score 50 points in 6 months. Clarkhoward.com is a good resource on money.

>>268854

When I struggled with atheism I was suicidal as well. If there is no God then there is certainly no hope or reason to live.

I have no advice to offer, only my prayers.

May the Lord God bless your family and guide her to knowledge of the reality that Jesus is Lord, and may he lead her into His Kingdom so she may live a long life with his blessings.

>>269231

Amen to that. The people who put a cross on their flag and have the greatest atheists per capita in the world. May the Lord God not forget them and guide them back to His fold.

>>265771

I know the feeling brother. Depression makes you to tired to get up, then you are depressed about your life in bed. You have to fight! One foot in fron of the other! God wills it! Their is a way out I've seen it! And I've prayed for you as well.
