1/6/2015 Thank you for all the people that prayed for me in the past. I am job searching after having graduated college, and I also have grandparents who are having health issues. Any prayers would be appreciated. I haven't used this part of this app for almost 2 years, but maybe it's time to start back up.

I'm thankful for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Need prayers for discernment and organization as I start out this semester at college. Need to work on balancing my time and to expand my circle of friends.
Also need discernment regarding some of my relationships with old friends, some of which have experienced turbulence recently.
Finally, I'm starting to try dating and need prayers for discernment with that. I'm tempted to doubt what God can provide for me in this area of my life. Can't go into more detail than that.
Hope all your prayers are answered as well!
Need help organizing my very finite free time to do all my schoolwork; have classes and a part-time job and I'm burning the candle at both ends. Please pray that I can force myself to once again just plow through my work, even if it means no fun time. Also not doing so well in a foreign language.
I need prayers for the will power to continue to hold to my values in my current environment and to accept my current living and financial situation, which is not what I had in mind when I pictured college my senior year of high school.
Also to accept the limits of what my own abilities can do and to ask for help in my academics, which is not something I've had to do very much before. And to not focus as much on the opportunities and "good times" that I missed out on due to choices and sacrifices I made (or was forced to make) in the past decade. I also need prayers to accept my physical injuries/limitations and for the willpower to keep up my physical therapy and exercise routine so my back and muscle issues aren't too bad.
Most of all, I need some guidance on what to do after I graduate, because my former career choice is no longer something I could morally accept and I feel like I'm just treading water at my part-time job, and with my place in life in general.
In addition to whatever other prayer requests I've made, I need prayers for me to somehow get the level of enthusiasm and energy that I used to have back.
I also need prayers for my health and for me to be able to organize my tasks so that I am actually able to be proactive and get some of my big tasks out of the way ahead of time.
I am normally a very organized person but due to my new schedule I feel worn out by Friday (I have a 6:30AM English class with a lab and a Geology class with a lab in the same day). As a result I have mostly been reacting and I have come very close to falling behind a few times already. Please pray that God will help me get my life and work back in order.

Still need help with psychological and physical hurdles in life. I also need prayers for me to keep myself organized and finish out this current semester strong. I have several projects and assignments coming together at once. This, combined with my part-time job, is driving me up the wall.
Most importantly, I need God to help me overcome the fears and anxieties I've developed in the past year or so. It seems like all my weaknesses and pressure points are being leveraged at once, from multiple directions and people.
I am a patient and calm person. I am usually even brave up to a point, but I am really having to force myself to go to work and sometimes to even get up each day for school. There have been some days where I've literally wanted to physically harm my boss(es) recently.
Due to my often conflicting school and work schedules, I am often fatigued (and I mean that in the military sense) by the time Friday rolls around.
As a male, it's getting harder for me to supress my emotions in certain situations as well, particularly at work. This is starting to affect my work quality, more in school than at my workplace.
I have also fallen off my excercise routine due to my erratic schedule, which leaves me with one less place to blow off my steam.
All my previous methods to deal with these issues JUST ARENT WORKING or have PLATEAUED IN EFFECTIVENESS!! As you can tell, my anger control/temper is being stressed too. :(
I can't tell if it's because I know more about the dangers of daily life, the fact that I realized I will have to start job-hunting next year, the fact that I have to drive in the vicinity of D.C., or if I just don't have enough other things to do to push these fears out of my mind.
Please pray for me. I' starting to question my sanity. I hope the other people out there aren't being pressed as hard as I am.

First, I would like to thank God and everyone, my prayers were answered and I finished off my most recent college semester well! I am also glad to have a source of income and parents who have paid for the larger amount of my college education in this very tough economy.I am also thankful for my health and relative safety in the area I live.
My request is that I will be able to correctly discern what some of these messages mean and what to do about them, since my most recent one is kind of vague. As I have said before, I am no longer inclined to the job I thought I wanted to do (intelligence), so I'm a little more stressed about what and how I will provide for myself after my senior internship is done next year.
Also that I will figure out why my dad has been acting so spastic and at times, rude, recently. Since he is middle-aged, I guess this is his mid-life crisis, but the behavior that may or may not be resulting from it is starting to wear thin on me; some of it is FAR more childish than his usual self.
I have also seen some circumstantial evidence of possible corruption in my workplace, so pray that I will have the discernment to figure out if I am making assumptions based on my various superiors' personal failings and quirks or if there is actually something to this.
Finally, I have a co-worker who is still in high school and is having to make a tough choice that revolves around the fact her parents are divorced, so pray that she will carefully think things over and make the decision that would be good for her.
Would like to thank God and those who prayed for me; I decided to quit my job and am much happier now. I also was able to make good final grades in my most recent set of classes. I would like to request prayers that I am able to organize some things that are chaotic in my life right now.
Also that my brother would make good choices regarding his own life and his beliefs, and that I am able to finish my degree.
And that I would be able to not be so scared of doing the job hunt after I'm done with college; I am not looking forward to being a working adult in this economy and geo-political environment.
Submit your prayer request. Thousands of caring people will see it and pray for you.
