For God to answer my prayers of provision, strength to overcome my physical and emotional and mental illnesses, to find a job that I can do and feel fulfilled by, to have peace of mind and heart, to heal my life from the pain others have caused me in the past, to be able to afford my rent and not be threatened with eviction again, to find help in affording the dental work I need on my broken and infected tooth that has been causing me severe pain and making it difficult to eat but will cost $500 that I just don't have the money to fix, for providing food for my disabled mother and I who have been living on food stamps that were suddenly cut off. I have been ill recently and just got out of the hospital last Saturday after my stomach was hurting and I had lost over 11 pounds in 10 days and not eating, feeling weak and sick and stressed. Please Lord help provide us with the rent that is due on the 1st of September so we don't get another eviction notice. Lord my 35th birthday is on September 17th and I am so depressed and feeling like I'm a mistake and I am not worth celebrating. My life has been one pain and disappointment after another. I feel so lost and forsaken. Please Lord, I know others have it much worse than I do, but I'm suffering and I've been struggling for such a long time. I know that you're not a vending machine but if there's anything you can do to help me and let your presence be known so that I don't feel like I'm alone, please help me see you more clearly Lord. Amen.

Prayer for health, for a job I am able to do with my disabilities while still taking care of my mom, prayer for resolving financial and familial issues that have been weighing heavily. Prayer for my surgical procedure on Monday, that everything will go smoothly and that I will be in less pain. Prayer for happiness and provision by the Lord during a rough season.

Need prayers for healing of my neck and shoulder, which have been causing me a lot of pain. Also praying for job opportunities as we had to be kicked out of our home earlier this year due to a lawsuit brought against us by other family members. It has been a hard year and I feel so discouraged and limited by my arthritis and trying to take care of my ailing mother's needs. I seek peace in my grandmother's death last week, as she was one of the people involved in slanderous lawsuit that took away our home. My heart is still full of hurt at all that has happened. Please Lord Jesus, provide for us and bring wealth and opportunities for health and work in the face of so many obstacles.

I have a job interview tomorrow morning (Thursday). I have passed the test with a 91%, but the first time I interviewed, I got so anxious I messed up the interview. I was then passed over for the position twice in two months and feel really discouraged, but the fact that I have received yet another opportunity to interview again gives me some hope. Financial situation at home is getting bad, so I could really use this blessing of a job right now. Pray for confidence and strength and peace. Pray that this will be the door that opens under God's plan for me. Give me the courage to accept defeat if it doesn't work out. It's been a hard journey and I'm trusting in God's timing, even though I'm feeling lost and unworthy right now. Could really use a breakthrough.

Praying God for a job opportunity right now. I have been unable to find solid employment. Struggling to pay bills, buy food, and keep my health insurance intact. Had an interview I thought was promising, but then they told me all the positions had been filled. I thought this was where God was leading me and now I just feel like I have no purpose in the world. Depressed. People keep telling me God will show the way, but I haven't heard anything. Dealing with a family issue where a horrible relative from out of state kidnapped my Grandmother and is suing us for possession of our home. Everything just feels hopeless right now.

Pray for strength and recovery after spinal surgery last Monday. The doctor says I am doing well, but I had a rough few days in the ICU and had to be kept in the hospital longer than anticipated as I didn't feel strong enough to go home right away. Still having pain and feeling tired. My Grandmother lives with us and is across the hall from my bedroom, last night she fell out of bed and was screaming for help and I had to use all my limited strength to go get help for her from my Mom would wouldn;t answer her phone when I called so it put a lot of strain on me, just about a week out of surgery to push myself to help someone else. I should be resting and not overexerting myself, but now I'm anxious and sleep deprived and hurting a lot. Pray that my family will come together and take care of what needs to be done so it takes the weight off my shoulders. I need care and help too.

Going in for spinal surgery on Monday morning for three bad discs in my neck that have adversely been affecting my life for years now, preventing me from working a full time job, lifting, bending, driving. I can't turn my neck to the left at all. I finally found a doctor who could see the problems I was having and has scheduled me for surgery on the 19th. I'm really scared, but at the same time I am relieved I might actually have a chance to resume a normal life and go back to Grad school without constant chronic pain. Despite all my issues, I am still primary caretaker for my 68 year old mother, who has been hospitalized on and off for the past 5 years with numerous health problems, and 86 year old grandmother and now that I will be down for at least 6 weeks, I'm worried things in my household will go awry and there will be fighting because I won't be able to help out with the things I usually do. I always give of myself. Now I need some of it back. The dynamics in my household have always been off kilter, especially when there's an illness. Pray for peace and stability. Pray the surgery goes well. Pray that my friends and family who have abandoned me over the past year for being too whiny and needy will come back to my side again and support me when I need it most. I have been angry at God for all the bad stuff that has happened in my life and I just want a little happiness and relief for once.

I am asking for prayers for my friend Elizabeth, who underwent brain surgery on Tuesday morning to correct her seizures. It was supposed to be a minor surgery with only a 3 day hospital stay, but an artery ruptured and now she's in a coma in the ICU at Cedar-Sinai. The doctors are saying she might not come out of this and if she does, she'll have extensive brain damage from the blood loss to her brain. The bleeding has stopped and they are attempting to drain the fluid pooling in the back of her skull, but are saying it still does not look good. I know the odds are stacked against her, but I am praying for a miracle that she will pull through. Beautiful child of God, always with a smile on her face, never a bad thought about anyone. She doesn't deserve this.
