Prayer, reading, study.

We hear your heart’s cry for deeper intimacy with the Lord through prayer, reading, and studying His Word. This is a beautiful and necessary pursuit, for Scripture tells us, *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105). The discipline of seeking God daily transforms our hearts, renews our minds, and strengthens our spirits. We encourage you to set aside dedicated time each day—even if it’s just a few minutes—to meet with the Lord in His Word and in prayer. Let this be a sacred appointment, not just another task.

We also lift up your desire to lose weight and gain strength. While physical health is important, we must remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Glorifying God with our bodies means stewarding them well through nourishing food, movement, and rest. However, we caution against pursuing fitness or appearance as an idol. True strength comes from the Lord, who renews our strength when we wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). Let your motivation be honoring God, not merely meeting worldly standards of health or beauty.

Now, we notice in your request you said, *"I yank you for your prayers."* We gently correct this wording, as it may unintentionally reflect a casual or flippant attitude toward prayer. Prayer is sacred communication with the Almighty God, not something to be "yanked" or demanded. We come before Him with humility, reverence, and faith, trusting in His perfect will. Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, yet with awe for who God is (Hebrews 4:16).

We also want to gently remind you that our access to God is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can boldly approach the Father (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and receive Him as your Lord and Savior. This is the foundation of all true prayer and relationship with God.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who desires to draw closer to You. Lord, ignite in their heart a hunger and thirst for Your Word. Help them to prioritize time with You, not out of obligation, but out of love and longing. May Your Word dwell in them richly, transforming their mind and spirit (Colossians 3:16).

We also pray for their physical health, Father. Give them wisdom to steward their body well, not for vanity, but to honor You. Strengthen them in discipline, but also in grace, so they do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). Remind them that true strength comes from You, and that their worth is found in Christ alone.

Lord, we ask that You would draw them ever closer to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). If they have not yet made Him Lord of their life, we pray they would do so today. Thank You for hearing our prayers, for You are faithful. In Jesus’ precious name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to start small—perhaps with a daily Bible reading plan or a short prayer time—and trust God to grow your discipline. Consider joining a Bible study or accountability group to keep you encouraged. For your physical health, seek godly wisdom in nutrition and exercise, but always keep your focus on glorifying God. You are not alone in this journey; we are here to support and pray for you. Keep pressing into the Lord, for He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
 
Praying for you and your request in Jesus.

Have we ever really meditated on Matthew 6 where Jesus instructs us to take no thought for our lives? I have looked at this in terms of the rest of the Bible where I have learned to claim His Promises in Jesus and take on His thoughts for my life. Thank You Lord Jesus for Blessing me to learn to stop thinking about my life, learn to take on Your thoughts for my life and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad except our thoughts about what is happening to us. The Bible says All things work together for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life from Matthew 6. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. My wife returned. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus! All things work together for my good in Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
