Hello together! Over the past years, I sometimes had a kind of personal "Days of prayer" over which I had for each day for 40 or 30 days a special prayer topic, stuff from my personal life, from my church, prayers for other people I know, prayers about stuff people asked me to pray about, etc. etc. I now want to do this again. I will start on 21. November and I will have my "last" (of course not my last prayer in life!) prayer on 31 of December. So... I wanted to ask you: is there anything I may pray about during these days? Something you have problems with? Something more general (politics, church, news...?) you want me to pray about? And maybe someone wants to join my days of prayer? In my past days of prayer I made myself an excel sheet, but we could of course also post all or some of the requests here, so who ever wants to join in can pray. So... if you have requests, you can post them here, or if you don't want to write in public about it, just send me a message. Be blessed, everyone!

My initial reaction was to add personal things to your list. My health, my wife and I trying to have a kid, etc..... ...but I think it would be noble to request prayers for unity within the Christian community as a whole.
I could be wrong (in fact, I hope I'm wrong about this) but it seems like the more time I spend interacting with Christians (theologians) online, is more about watching them lunge at each other's throats about this and that doctrine, than it is them being happy and discussing the joys of a relationship with Christ / fellowship within the faith / etc.

This is awesome and something I'd like to do some year in the future.
I need ... a lot of prayer. Primarily I need prayer for my impulse control disorder regarding sex that has yet to be managed or improved in anyway; this includes a variety of perverse sexual encounters and perverse porn, both of which are inescapable and I have no hope for that to change: I am trapped and the only path before me is and has been down -- worse and worse it has become since my struggle with lust began eight years ago. The effects of this unyielding depravity are nearly innumerable and I will not write them out here; suffice it to say that I am destroying myself.
So, yeah, prayers = good.

My initial reaction was to add personal things to your list. My health, my wife and I trying to have a kid, etc..... ...but I think it would be noble to request prayers for unity within the Christian community as a whole. I think both are always good to pray about. So I added prayers for you on my list as well as prayers for christian unity. Seeing my own church on the verge of break up I think it's important to pray for the unity within the christian community. I need ... a lot of prayer. Primarily I need prayer for my impulse control disorder regarding sex that has yet to be managed or improved in anyway; this includes a variety of perverse sexual encounters and perverse porn, both of which are inescapable and I have no hope for that to change: I am trapped and the only path before me is and has been down -- worse and worse it has become since my struggle with lust began eight years ago. The effects of this unyielding depravity are nearly innumerable and I will not write them out here; suffice it to say that I am destroying myself. Thank you for sharing this so frankly. I have added prayers for you on my list. Like most of the prayer topics I will repeatedly pray for your situation. Also, if you have a day that is for some reason especially important for you to be prayed on, just let me know so I'll put the prayer on this day. Today I started with praying for my brothers fiancé. She returned yesterday from a month-long stay at a health clinic due to psychological issues related to her last job. So I prayed for her to have a good start here again, to gain strength, for her relationship to my brother and her future plans. If someone wants to pray about it, too, it would be welcome!

How are the days of prayer coming along anfauglith ? So far I got for every day until the 3. of december a special prayer. I'm very grateful that I can pray for you and the other brothers here. Over the past month I often felt the need to somehow serve my fellow people. Since I started this project I have the feeling that here's something that I can actually do for other people. And that is a great privilege for me. Btw.: if you have a special prayer request, feel free to submit it anytime. I'll be glad to include it!

Dear people I just made my prayer plans for the coming days, upcoming prayers for _, @crimsonwarrior, Thomas Eversole, tolencual. (I also prayed for all of you during the past days!). Have I forgotten anybody? Are there any special prayer requests from anyone here that I may include? (I realized that I pray for couples I know only as couples. I do include the topics concerning the single persons, but I dedicate the prayers of the day to the couple. At first I thought this to be odd, but now I somehow think it is okay that way for in my social environment breaking up relationships are more a problem then an extreme surplus in solid relations and matrimony...)

Pray for my family. While we're all under stress recently, it's MUCH worse for the other members of my family. A lot of the things that are bothering them, do not directly affect me. (Although some do.) Thank you so much, dude.

(Although some do.) Thank you so much, dude. Sorry that I did not reply to this. Just realized I didn't. I was sure I did. Anyway: of course I am praying for you, nocturnaliridescence! Thomas Eversole, Just added your surgery tomorrow to my list!

I have one specific, if you'd be so kind as to add this request. March 29th, my wife is having surgery. This is to remove a fibroid, something our fertility specialist strongly recommended before trying pregnancy again. The fibroid is too large to be removed laparoscopicly so... a "bikini incision" will need to be made to remove it.
This means for a longer recovery. She could be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days recovering, and may not be able to perform normal work duties for a few weeks.
If you could prayer for her pain management and recovery, and that I can be as much of a rock for her as she was for me through all my surgeries, it would be much appreciated bro.

Do you have any special topics about which I can pray for you? Would be a honour! That God would continue to teach me and help me work through my psychological problems. I shouldn't have put this off for so long. (I've dealt with depression and anxiety for over a decade; I started going to therapy in 2017.) It's amazing, how deeply these problems have entangled themselves in my mind, and prevent me from properly doing the work God has asked of me.
