God calls us to come to Him in prayer instead of being anxious and worrying (Philippians 4:6). Right now, it’s easy for all of us to be anxious and worry. Instead, let’s come together today to share our requests and pray for each other.
Prayer Requests
Jeff
My cousin’s husband (28) is suffering from an unknown illness (tested negative twice for COVID). His name is Kurt. Pray for physical healing and wisdom for doctors.
Debbie
Our good friend, John, has brain cancer and had a seizure this week. He’s been confused and dizzy. Please pray for continued grace for him and his family. Pray he can continue to be joyful and a light for Jesus.
Jeff
Pray for Nate! He is the son of a former staff member who is experiencing congestive heart failure and is septic.
Hayley
I have just graduated from nursing school – we were able to graduate early due to the need of nurses in our country now. I am overly anxious about taking my board exams (nclex). My prayer is that my trust rests in the Lord. That I believe the will of my life may be to love Christ more and not just pass a test. Praying that one, I do pass, but two, in this season of studying and taking the exam that I will not be fearful and anxious and trust that He will protect and prodive for me through my test anxiety.
Debbie
My mom has dementia and lives in a nursing home. I haven’t seen her for 6 weeks – I usually visit her every other day. It’s been really hard wondering how she’s doing, and even worse wondering if she’s thinking we don’t care about her. Also worrying that she’ll forget me.
Nathan
For my safety and ongoing strength, as I’ll be traveling to Seattle, starting late next week. I’ll be on a team running Battelle’s mask decontamination system that is there. The work shift is 12 hrs/day, every day, for 3 weeks. Prayer request for Jen who is working form home and won’t have my help with the kids. We have a young woman we know, who is going to come and stay at our house and help during this time, and that is a positive experience.
Amanda
I am still going into an office setting with 15 co-workers. I need prayer for safety and healthy coworkers. Also my friend Tracy fell in the grocery store and injured herself pretty badly.
Johnny
To become positive as we disciple to new believers and to reinforce our faith to those in fear.
Jeff
Please pray for the family of Konrad (21 years old) who took his life Wednesday. Specifically pray for the parents, Jim and Randi, and his sister and husband, Kelsey and Dan.
Julia
Please pray for my staff at the James Cancer Hospital who are scared that they will get COVID-19 or take it home to family. In this time of saving PPE for our front line staff, my staff who are nurse practitioners/doctors who are not on front line but feel very unprotected in the public caring for cancer patients. Please pray that they trust our leadership as well as the CDC and that decisions being made are not to put them in harm’s way but to help those taking care of the sickest patients. Thank you.
Tyler
Pray for my wife who is in her third trimester of pregnancy and still working as a hospital pharmacist, as well as my young son who has had his battles iwth repiratory ilness this year. This COVID mess has us praying excessively for everybody, but especially for mom, our unborn child, and our young son. We are choosing faith over fear, but do appreciate your extra prayers. God bless.
Missionaries
Please pray for our missionaries and ministry partners who are at work around the world. Countries have shut borders and issued even more severe stay home mandates that the United States has which makes life and ministry difficult. Some of our missionaries work in areas affected more than others but all are in good spirits and eager to get back to their normal routine. Pray that as many of these countries are on lockdown that they can continue to be a light in the community in which they serve and that this temporary struggle will yield everlasting fruit.
David
We are starting to have increasing numbers of COVID positive patients at my medical center. The team I lead is on the frontline of patient care. Please pray I lead them in such a way that I minimize their risk while maintaining the same level of patient care. Please pray that God will have His hand on me, my team, and all healthcare workers to sustain us during this time.
