We Are Here To Pray For You!We are here to pray! NeedEncouragement,com

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

We are here to pray for you! In times of uncertainty and struggle, it is comforting to know that there are people who genuinely care about your well-being. We understand that sometimes life can become overwhelming, and you may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. However, we want you to know that prayer is a powerful tool at your disposal. We can email and pray for you, but it’s equally important for you to learn how to develop a personal relationship with prayer as well.

Just imagine the incredible strength and peace that comes from being able to communicate directly with the creator of this vast universe. You have access to an immense source of love, guidance, and support through prayer. It’s not just something we do when all else fails; rather, prayer should be our first instinct in any situation. Before embarking on any journey or facing any challenge, let us pause together and seek help from God through prayer. Remember that praying is not only about seeking miracles for ourselves but also extending our prayers to others who need them desperately. Through understanding how transformative prayers can be in one’s own life, we gain a deeper appreciation for their potential impact on others too. If ever there arises a moment when you feel burdened or overwhelmed by circumstances beyond your control—whether physically or emotionally—we implore you not to hesitate to reach out for support. Share your concerns with us or a Christian friend that you may know; allow us the privilege of taking those worries before God together through heartfelt prayers. Understand that God loves you and wants to help you, all you need to do is to call out to Him, and He will answer your prayers. The answer might be yes, it might be no, or it might be to wait, but for sure, the Lord will answer all of our sincere prayers according to His will and purpose. ~ Bill Greguska

What Does It Take To Pray For Someone?

 

Eleven Ways To Pray For Yourself Daily!Talk and pray

One of the critical elements in prayer is petitioning or praying for yourself. Some people shy away from such prayers, thinking it violates humility and draws attention to themselves rather than God. It’s biblical. Jesus petitioned the following the night before He was crucified: “Father… glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world was” (John 17:5). If Jesus needed to pray for Himself, then I certainly need to pray for myself. Ponder these eleven personal requests I’ve started bringing daily to God.

 

1. Examine Me.

I borrowed this one from King David, who asked God to “search him, know him, test him, and see if there was any offensive way” in him (Psalm 139:23, 24). It takes courage to pray in such a way, yet I want the Lord to reveal to me those things that aren’t pleasing to Him.

 

2. Forgive My Sins.

It is obvious the next step after petition #1. I’m wasting my time praying if I’m unwilling to confess a part of the process (Psalm 66:18). Once I‘ve sought and received His forgiveness (1 John 1:9), I’m on praying ground, washed and cleansed, ready to proceed.

 

3. Fill Me With Your Spirit.

When renowned preacher/evangelist D.L. Moody was asked why he always sought a filling of the Spirit, he responded, “Because I leak.” I was baptized with the Spirit when saved, a reality that never needs to be repeated. Like Moody, I leak. I need to be continually filled (Ephesians 5:18), especially for times of service and ministry.

 

4. Restore And Strengthen Me.

Ministry can suck the life right out of us, creating a state of despair and weariness (Isaiah 40:30). Like David, I ask God to “Restore to me the joy of your salvation” (Psalm 51:12). Also, I include myself in God’s promise to His people through the prophet Ezekiel: “I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh (36:26).

 

 


 

 

 

 

Trust The Lord Above All Else!


 

 

 

5. Grant Me Wisdom.

I have plenty of information at my disposal. I need wisdom – Godly wisdom – the kind that comes from above. We live in an age where information abounds, and wisdom seems nearly extinct. Thankfully, He’s happy to share it with us, “generously to all without finding fault,” if only we will ask (James 1:5).

 

6. Protect My Mind.

Knowing I am what I think (Proverbs 23:7), I want to believe good stuff. And I certainly need God’s help in doing so. Since we have the Holy Spirit living in us, we have access to the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). We dare not remain passive in the process, however. Daily, I pray that my carnal mind would be suppressed and Christ’s spirit would reign supreme.

 

7. Stifle Satan.

Satan hates everything to do with what I’ve just written above. He’s lost the eternal war but will do everything he can to win the battle for our minds. I pray for the daily strength to resist him so that he will flee (James 4:7). Like Jesus, I sometimes speak to him directly, demanding that he “get thee behind me” (Matthew 16:23).

 

8. Suppress Unbelief And Supply Faith.

Such battles must never be entered alone. Like the father of the demon-possessed boy, I must ask Jesus to “help me overcome my unbelief” (Mark 9:24). Like the fledgling disciples, we need to ask the Lord to “increase our faith” (Luke 17:5).

 

9. Guard My Behavior.

The last thing I want to do is to be a stumbling block to those around me (1 Corinthians 10:32), especially to the lost. Therefore, I pray that the Lord would lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from the evil one (Matthew 6:13), protecting me from and guarding me against bad attitudes and choices.

 

10. Arrange Significant Divine Appointments.

Over the years, this verse has become increasingly significant to me: “In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). My daily desire is to follow God’s schedule. He often gives spontaneous direction, and I must allow a margin for Him to rearrange my schedule. I pray that He would regularly lead me into evangelism and encouragement opportunities.

 

11. Enlarge My Sphere Of Influence.

I’m taking this final petition right out of Jabez’s playbook. Like this Old Testament mystery man, I’m continually asking that you “bless me and enlarge my territory” (1 Chronicles 4:10). According to Jack Taylor in PRAYER: Life’s Limitless Reach, this means “extended responsibility, lengthened influence, heightened opportunity.” For the glory of God, that’s the desire for blessing and expansion of ministry, and I’m continually seeking.

Petitioning is the only one spoken in the prayer wheel. Indeed, it shouldn’t take precedence over overpraising God and interceding for others. In my remaining time on this fallen planet, I intend to take full responsibility for and take advantage of every opportunity to pray for myself.
