Faith is not something that comes easily for me in terms of relationship. Considering such, please pray for me as I have begun to question God. I wonder sometimes what is the point of prayer because if something is God's will then it will happen regardless of prayer or not. My story is this. I am 26 years old. I have been engaged 3 times. I was married at 22 and divorced at 22. All of those relationships were long (2-3 yrs) and were not good ones. I have submitted myself to all forms of abuse which started early on and yet I stayed knowing the situations at hand would not get better. I have recently discovered something though. In all those relationships, what I thought was love, wasn't love at all, only it was my desire to feel wanted and needed that kept me in them for so long. I cannot tell you how many times I have been on my knees praying and begging God for things to work out that didn't need to work out. I believed in God that he could change the way things were but things didn't change. The next relationship would come along and as usual, it was bliss in the beginning and I thought that God had blessed me by not answering my prayers.Later,what I thought was a blessing wasn't. I had given up on love. That was until Matt when I realized for the first time what love was and for once in my life, instead of feeling needed, I needed somebody. I have had a crush on Matt for nine years. He is one of my best friends brother's and so three years ago when I had the chance to date him, I (as he says) blew him off. This past June, out of the blue, I decided to send him a text message. Shortly after, we became a couple. Words cannot explain how he made me feel. Unfortunatly, as of 8-25-03, we broke up. He later explained that he wanted to try and start over as friends because he really cares for me but I had not begun to open up to him yet. I will admit my past has me very skeptical of guys and I can be very shy. I believe it was he who had become the insecure one though because of my past. Up until now, I have not been able to pray about it because it seems everytime I do, it never ends up that way and my fear is not having Matt a part of my life. We never said the words I love you to one another but he showed me in other ways how much he cared. I miss him so much even though I still see him when I hang out with his sister. My prayer is this. Please help me to overcome my insecurities especially when I am around Matt. I pray that he will continue to become more a part of my life and that in the future, we will be back together again. Please pray for me that my faith will grow and that if I believe and trust in God, he will come back around. I miss him terribly. He once said he wanted to make me feel complete. I pray that the words he spoke were from the heart because he did make me feel complete. I pray that he still thinks of me and cares about me. Matt made me feel my best and want to be the best person I can. If there is a such thing as a soul mate, I pray that Matt is mine.

I have a friend that was just hurt by someone she loves, I know that the person didn't intend to hurt "my" friend but it happened, now i feel that a prayer is in order to help both, i do love them both and i know that the one doing the hurting is in love with my friend, I know that god want them together and I know that in time "he" my other friend will know that to, please help me pray for them both, Our Father in heaven, Please bring them back together, they are meant for each other, i can hear in it my heart and my bones, you say if 2 or more people are in agreement then it is meant to be, well alot of people were in agreement over that relationship, the powers that be may not have liked it but the people involved were glad, they were more than glad, everyone was routing for it to happen, now things have gone arye, please Father God bring them back together, help them have a happy ending, We worship and praise you, we love you and I thank you for all you have given me and all you will give me, In your name.........AMEN

hi elizabeth, let's pray for you
dear Lord in heaven, i lift up elizabeth in Your hand. i lift up all her past relationships in Your hand, all griefs, pains, hurts, abuses, anger, insecurities, confusions, brokeness, dependency more on guys rather than You, all distrusts, lack of faith, lack of confidence, as well as any negative or bad spiritual forces, that You've seen happening in her past relationships and within her. touch her heart and heal them all Lord. Lord Jesus give her your peace, calm her spirit, calm her soul, lead her to a quite time between only she and You, comfort her from within. quiten this ranging storm of relationships in her life. forgive her should she have transgressed from Your ways, like any of us has done so, whether we realize it or not. help her Lord to find that inner strength and peace in You rather than being busy to find it outside herself through acceptance of other people or needing and being needed by other people particularly men. oh, guide her Lord to Your grace & strenght, where she will know what's next to be done for herself and her life, as she goes through life oneday at a time. should there feeling of aloness or loneliness creeps into her heart, re-assure her Lord thru your sweet sweet Holy Spirit that she's not alone, that You're always watching her - only that most times we humans so much want what we want and we forget about You Jesus, even we put You to the test with our demands. be with elizabeth Lord and comfort her, in Jesus loving name we pray, amen.


is there anyone around you from Church that possible you can speak to and pray with? maybe it can be helpful if you can talk to them.
also, at night in your quite time even in tears, try read your Bible sometimes the Lord likes to speak with you through His word.

my prayers and thoughts will be with you.... but most important He is with you, even when at times we reject Him or feel disappointed toward Him.... let it all out to Him, He understands.
