Prayers needed.
Forum category
I have allowed the troubles of this world to come between me and my Christian walk. To the point I can’t even seem to get this request posted. But I know I have brothers and sisters in Christ here That love the Lord and I hope that you all will understand when I say I need your prayers. I don’t know what to do or where to turn.
Is it all right to request prayer even though I have no idea what to ask that you pray ?
Thank you.

Praying for the Lord to give you clarity…insight…wisdom.
I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you that have prayed for me. And I hope that I can maybe make a stab at letting everyone know some of what is going on.
Around 1990, after years of going from doctor to doctor I was told I had something called Fibromyalgia. THere is some info on the web about this illness but I can tell you this about it. If you close a finger in a door, It hurts.. If you close a door on the finger of a person with Fibromyalgia, it takes that pain and amplifies it from a 3 or 4 to a 7 or 8.
Then 10 years ago I was hurt at work. Pretty badly. Later, after an MRI I learned that my back was in very bad shape. Ruptured disks and 21 bone spurs, degenerative spine and spinal stenosis. It all adds up to a good deal of pain and you guessed it. The Fibromyalgia has to make a bad thing worse.
Needless to say, I get lost in the pain at times. And dealing with the problems in life can be more than I can endure. Enter a few such problems.
Things have happened and people from our church have been hurt and have left. Those that did the hurting want it swept under the rug. Its not so easy for me to do. I feel some of these people are no longer to be trusted.
I’m sure I’m wrong in all this in one way or another. But I’m not sure how. Please, If you will, keep me in your prayers as well as our church. I could tell a difference almost right away and I so believe that prayer can change things. Thank you again for taking the time. For caring enough to lift up a brother who so very badly needed it.
But most of all, Thank you Lord Jesus. You gave me a place to come to when I couldn’t think of any other place.

For those things & more, I’m praying for you and your church situation.
Bro Marty,
I understand what it is to have pain that shouts so loud it is most difficult to hear anything else. And I know how empowering it can be to have folks rally and pray for you. I will pray.
