How Can I Pray For You?

“Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you…”

              -I Samuel 12:23

Look through my archives, and you’ll see that I’ve posted on a very wide variety of topics over the past several months. I’ve actually done this intentionally in hopes that, no matter where you are in life, you can come to this site and be blessed in your walk with God and find encouragement through His Word. Yet in spite of my best efforts, I truly believe that sometimes the best way to uplift our brothers and sisters in Christ is to simply pray for them. Truthfully, as my readership has continued to grow, I couldn’t possibly post what each of you need to hear at just the right moment even if I knew exactly what that was.

Anyway, after spending much of this evening working on it, I’ve just finished adding a new page (above tab) where you can actually send me your prayer requests directly from this site! Simply enter your name or pseudonym, e-mail address, and a description of how I can be praying for you. By clicking submit, your message will automatically be sent to my personal inbox and I will remember your need each day in my prayer time.

However big or small your need may be, I hope you won’t hesitate in sending me your requests. Whether it’s a test in school or a sick loved one, we are reminded again and again throughout Scripture of the miracles that can be accomplished when God’s people join together in faith and prayer (Matthew 18:19). After all, that’s what the Body of Christ is for (Galatians 6:2).

The body of Christ certainly needs more paryer partners like you.

God bless you - Marsha

I'm currently only a Jr in Highschool, but I have the opportunity of taking classes at our local college. The campus is secular and there's a lot of bad stuff that goes around, so I guess my prayer request would be that you could pray for God to open up doors for me and other Christian students to minister to all the others who don't know Christ!

Loved this post. :)

That is sweet. Definitely a powerful way to minister to people. Would you mind sharing the code for that? I think it would be sweet to have across a lot of blogs!

James 5:16

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Jamie,

Thanks for sharing your prayer request with me. I'll definitely be praying for you as you attend your college courses, and I hope God opens those doors for you to minister to the lost.

In Christ,
Dakota

When this post came up in my favorites reel, I just had to read it. You are doing a truly great thing! If you don't mind, please pray that I continue to grow in my walk with God. I'm not ashamed to post my prayer request publicly because I know I'm not perfect and need God along with positive friends on my side everyday!

Dakota said...

Demetria,

You can definitely count on my prayers. I'm going to create a list of prayer requests later this evening and I'll be sure to add you to my list!


In Christ,
Dakota

Dakota,
Thanks for being a follower of Daughter of Christ! I thought I'd let you know, that I'm actually going to be closing Daughter of Christ soon, due to the new magazine/faith blog that I created Brave Enough to Believe.

I'd love it if you would follow that one instead of Daughter of Christ, since I'll be closing it soon.

Here's the link: braveenoughtobelieve.blogspot.com

love,
megan

Wow. There goes God again. Being awesome like that. Turns out, my walk with Christ has been speeding up, and my family and I (my parents and siblings) have been given an opportunity to serve Christ in a way we had been praying for for years. :) This of all times we need prayer...and you write this post. God is amazing.

Thank you so much for writing this blog. I pray that the Father will continually bless you with the grace and that that he would continuously give you the words (and somethimes the ability to say nothing) according to his will. I will be praying for you and hope that if you need something prayed for, you'd let me know. My email is servant2122@gmail.com
