Prayer Requests

Dear Prayer Warriors,

=====================================================================
I reached my destination through train safely with some problem and without train delay.
My family member is also reached the destination without any problem and train delay.
Thanks to God and Prayer Warriors who have prayed for me.

=====================================================================

Please pray for the following to God through in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

I am worried about my marriage, due to delay. Since this generation has not gotten any Godly, spiritually good grooms. That's why I am very much upset.

I am waiting for God's perfect time. But when?

Almost I have attained my marriage age. I believe that God's perfect time, but the perfect time will be my old age as per God's perfect time. According to age, the marriage has to be done within the proper age. If late marriage, then childbirth is very very critical. Moreover, there is very mental torture for the couples to give an answer to their relatives, friends, and the people among whom they live.

Still believing God that He will give the good groom for me. But the marriage should occur very very quickly. If not within the marriage age and the marriage has to occur at old age, then I have to suffer due to late marriage and cannot be able to tackle the situation around me.

Is Christian should not look for Lower Caste? or Caste No Bar. Is Communion is very very important or necessary? If so, how many time communion in a month or in a year? In Salvation Army Church, there is No Communion.

(1) I am believing that our God will provide a permanent job position in Government or Public Sector (PSU) as Homoeopathy Physician or Homoeopathy Doctor or Medical Officer or Research Officer or GDMO or JRF or any other suitable job position and till up to God's Will & God's Time. I will wait and till that period God have to provide a Temporary Govt Job to me. Faith in our God that the God will grace on me and provide the appointment order for a permanent job position in Government or Public Sector enable me to explain regarding our God's mercies to my patients.

(2) My family member to get a permanent government / public sector (PSU) according to the Professional educational qualification. Please pray for him to get the permanent government or public sector (PSU) job by God's Grace which will Glorify God. Hope God will definitely Mercy to him. Will send the PRAISE REPORT once he got the job from govt.

(3) Regarding My Marriage - Get the best bridegroom for me who will be a doctor with better earnings with GOOD HABITS and No Bad Habit according to the Bible and also a spiritually good. The marriage should be done very very quickly due to age, but I hope that God's time has not come till yesterday. Anyhow, my marriage has to occur at the earliest possible with a Godly Doctor or Government Employee Engineer with good habits and without bad habits and earning a good salary/income. Awaiting for God's order and will and God's time.

Is God is Powerful - No. But seems that He not powerful than Satan. Satan is doing Miracles in the earth now. Is God is Active - No. God is Inactive. Is God is Merciful - No. Satan is Merciful, since he is doing Miracles to their believers. Is God have Grace - No. Merciless, Graceless, Powerless, Inactive God. Why because the above prayer requests (1 to 3, 5 to 8) are not yet fulfilled. Eventhough I was having Faith with God that He will put Mercy on me. I was hoping that by God's Grace all requests will be fulfilled, but nothing fulfilled. Not only fulfilled, but also the requests are kept with God as the Stone into the Well Water (i.e Inactive). I am praying more than 4 years to God that all the requests have to be fulfilled, but till now nothing is fulfilled. Hence it is assumed that God is a stone. He cannot able to fulfil anything to their believers. As per Bible God is some count slowness, but I have seen that always slowness. Always Inactive. Always Powerless. Always Merciless. Always Graceless. Always favouring for wicked peoples. Always favouring for Dishonest persons not Honest persons and Lover of God. God is enjoying that when wicked persons are doing and wickedness to the Honest persons, God's Lover and that's He is silent.

(4) For our family good health

(5) A Person and his have cheated us that they have received a huge amount from us against a House for Lease. But as per their commitment and promise, they have not handed over their own house to us for Lease. Hence, we have asked the cheaters, Liars (and his wife both) to return the full amount to us, but till today they have not yet returned the full amount to us. We have taken a Loan for paying the House Lease. The Interest of the Loan is increasing huge day by day. Why God is seeing this kind of wickedness? Why God is patience almost more than eight months? The wicked person and his wife is under the control of Satan, hence, whatever they speak with us from mouth are lies only. The wicked person and his wife is purposely cheating us and cheating many others also as per the inquiry. Why God is Inactive? Why God is Merciless for the God fearing families? Why no Grace upon the the familes who are fearing for God to do any wrongdoing? Is there any punishment whether through physical or material for the Cheater, Liar, Fraud; if so when God will give punishment to the wicked persons enable them to return our money and repent and turn to God. If not punishment to a human, then never ever repent which is human nature. Awaiting for the return of our money from the wicked persons and a remarkable suffering to them by God enable them not to do any other wicked things in their life to anybody.

(5) To buy a house and run a Homoeopathy Clinic to explain the glory of our God.

(6) My family has to provide employment to give education to poor people which should change their lifestyle and glory to our God.

(7) Myself & my family member have to get a permanent job in Government or Public Sector as per our educational/professional qualifications urgently. Since we to settle in life and then only he has a plan to get married. Hope that our God is mercy on his life and do the mercy in his life. By God's grace, he has to get the permanent job position. Please pray that in God's mercy from God's eyes to this son.

(8) I have to study M.D. - PG Degree or PhD. By God's grace, I have to get a good Government College on merit with a safest college and place with a good valuable faculty. Our God have to mercy on me in this regard.

Can you tell me what is God's Time !!! How to know the God's Time !!! When will be God's Time (i.e. the period starts) How to find God's Will !!!! Any indication or any identity !!! What is God's Time is Perfect?

I am believing that our God will be mercy in my & our family life. We have faith that the above request will be fulfilled by today by the grace of our God. We are waiting for the grace occurred and also waiting for God's time & will. Let's pray to our God through the name of Jesus! Amen.

Is God is there or not? My parents were seeking / trying / searching for a Bridegroom who is Godly, spiritually, God Fearing and a Doctor who will understand the same profession of myself and handsome earnings to run a family in God's centre. But more than 5 years they are seeking and prayed with God, nothing is fulfilled. Not only my marriage is very much delayed by God but also none of our family's prayer request are fulfilled. No fruitful answers for my prayer requests as well as our family's prayer request. I doubt about God that He is active or inactive.

Please pray continuously and I will share the praise reports once the requests are fulfilled.

All praise be to our God. INJ! Amen!!
 
We come before the Lord with hearts full of both gratitude and deep concern for the many burdens you carry. First, we rejoice with you that your travels were safe, for we know that every good gift comes from our Father above, who watches over His children. Yet we also hear the weight of your struggles—the delays in marriage, the injustice of deception, the longing for provision, and the deep questions about God’s timing and power. Let us address these matters with truth, prayer, and the unshakable promises of Scripture, for our God is neither silent nor powerless, though His ways are higher than ours.

You have asked whether God is inactive, merciless, or powerless because your prayers seem unanswered. But let us remind you of what Scripture declares: *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). His delays are not denials, nor are they evidence of weakness. The same God who parted the Red Sea, raised Christ from the dead, and holds the stars in place is at work in your life—even when you cannot see it. Satan may appear to "perform miracles" through deception, but his power is a mere shadow compared to the sovereignty of the Almighty. *"For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal"* (2 Corinthians 4:17–18, WEB). Do not mistake God’s patience for powerlessness or His silence for absence. He is preparing what is eternal while we fixate on the temporary.

Now, regarding marriage: we understand your deep desire for a godly spouse, especially as you see the years pass. But let us speak truth here—marriage is a gift from God, but it is not the ultimate fulfillment of your worth or purpose. Your identity is first and foremost in Christ. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4–5, WEB). We pray that the Lord would indeed provide a husband who fears Him, one who is spiritually mature, honorable, and aligned with His Word. Yet we must also caution you: your list of requirements—doctor, high earnings, specific profession—must not overshadow the most critical trait: a man who loves Jesus above all else. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A godly marriage is built on shared faith, not merely shared income or status. And remember, childbearing is a blessing from the Lord, but it is not guaranteed in any marriage, regardless of age. Trust Him with your future family, whatever it may look like.

As for caste and communion: Scripture is clear that in Christ, *"there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus"* (Galatians 3:28, WEB). Caste has no place in the body of Christ. Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is a sacred remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, not a ritual for earning favor. The frequency is less important than the heart behind it. *"For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes"* (1 Corinthians 11:26, WEB). If your church does not practice communion, seek fellowship where the ordinances of Christ are honored, but do not let this become a stumbling block. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—not by works or rituals.

Your pain over the financial deception is just. It is right to cry out against wickedness, for *"the Lord loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off"* (Psalm 37:28, WEB). We pray that God would expose the lies of these deceivers, that they would repent, and that every penny stolen would be restored to you—even if through unexpected means. *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord'"* (Romans 12:17–19, WEB). Trust that God sees their wickedness and will act in His perfect timing. Your role is to seek justice lawfully (if possible) while releasing the burden of vengeance to Him.

For your career and education: we pray that the Lord would open doors no man can shut, that He would grant you favor in government positions, and that your work as a homeopathic physician would be a testimony of His healing power. *"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). But let us also ask: are you seeking these things for His glory or your own security? There is no shame in desiring stability, but let your ultimate aim be to honor Christ in all you do. If a temporary job is His provision for now, serve faithfully there, trusting that He is preparing the permanent role He has for you.

Your doubts about God’s existence or goodness are understandable in this season of waiting, but they are not true. The enemy would love for you to believe that God is cruel or absent, but Scripture shouts otherwise: *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite"* (Psalm 147:3–5, WEB). Your feelings do not change His character. Cling to truth, not circumstance.

Finally, let us pray together:

**Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, acknowledging the depth of her longing, her pain, and her questions. Lord, You are not a distant God but a Father who sees every tear, hears every cry, and collects every prayer in a golden bowl before Your throne. We ask that You would renew her trust in Your timing, which is perfect, even when it feels delayed. Forgive her for the moments of doubt, and flood her heart with the assurance that You are working all things for her good—even the hard things.

We pray for her future husband, Lord—a man after Your own heart, spiritually mature, honorable, and ready to lead a home in Your ways. Prepare them both for a marriage that glorifies You. If there are idols in her expectations (status, wealth, profession), convict her and align her desires with Yours. Remind her that You are her ultimate Provider, and no earthly blessing compares to knowing You.

We rebuke the lies of the enemy that have taken root in her heart—the accusations that You are powerless, merciless, or inactive. Satan is a liar and the father of lies, but You, Lord, are Truth. We declare that You are the same God who parted seas, raised the dead, and conquered the grave. Let her see Your hand move in her life in undeniable ways.

We ask for justice in the financial deception she has suffered. Expose the wickedness of those who have stolen from her, Lord. Soften their hearts to repentance or bring conviction upon them until restitution is made. Provide for her family’s needs supernaturally, even as You provided manna in the wilderness. Let this situation be a testimony of Your faithfulness.

For her career, we pray for open doors in government positions, for favor in her studies, and for opportunities to use her skills to bring You glory. If there are delays, let them serve a purpose—perhaps to refine her, to prepare her, or to protect her from what she cannot see.

Father, we ask that You would heal the wounds of impatience and disappointment in her heart. Replace her anxiety with Your peace, which surpasses understanding. Let her wait with hope, knowing that You are not slow but patient, not silent but preparing, not absent but intimately involved in every detail of her life.

We thank You that You are a God who hears, who acts, and who loves Your children with an everlasting love. Let her see Your hand at work soon, Lord, that her faith may be strengthened and Your name glorified.

In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.**

Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord has not forgotten you. His promises are true, His timing is perfect, and His love for you is deeper than you know. Keep praying, keep trusting, and watch for His hand to move. We will continue to lift you up in prayer, eagerly awaiting the praise reports to come. *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9, WEB).
 
Dear Friend,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to pray with you regarding the concerns you've shared.

Firstly, I want to reassure you that God sees your situation and cares deeply about your well-being. He is not distant or inactive, but a God who is intimately involved in every detail of your life. In Psalm 34:7, it is written, "The Lord hears the cries of the afflicted. He does not ignore their pain or suffering, but takes it personally." So, know that your cries and concerns are not falling on deaf ears.

I want to encourage you to keep trusting in God's timing. I know it can be challenging when you feel delayed, but remember, His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). He sees the bigger picture and is working all things together for your good, even the hard things (Romans 8:28).

Regarding your marriage, I pray that God would grant you a husband who fears Him, who is spiritually mature, and who loves Jesus above all else. I encourage you to keep your heart open to God's leading, and trust that He knows what is best for you. Remember, it is better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Corinthians 7:9), but it is also important to wait on the Lord's timing.

I also want to encourage you regarding your career and education. I pray that God would open doors for you, grant you favor in government positions, and use your skills to bring glory to His name. Trust that He is preparing you for the role He has for you, even if it means waiting for a temporary job for now.

Lastly, I want to remind you that God is faithful and just. He will make all things right in His perfect timing. Trust in His justice, and know that He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness (1 Corinthians 5:8).

Please keep trusting and keep praying. I am here for you, and let's continue to lift you up in prayer together.

In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Keep standing firm, dear friend. The Lord has not forgotten you. His promises are true, His timing is perfect, and His love for you is deeper than you know. Keep praying, keep trusting, and watch for His hand to move. We will continue to lift you up in prayer, eagerly awaiting the praise reports to come.

"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9, WEB).

Be a Prayer Warrior: “Praying for others”
 
We are so grateful to have stood with you in prayer for your safe travels, and we rejoice with you that God brought you and your family member to your destinations without delay despite the challenges. His protection over you is a testament to His faithfulness, even in the small things, and we give Him all the glory for answering this part of your request.

Our hearts are still lifted before the Lord concerning the deeper burdens you’ve shared—especially the weight of waiting for marriage, the injustice you’ve suffered at the hands of deceitful people, and the longing for God’s provision in your career and family’s future. We understand how the silence of unanswered prayer can feel like a heavy stone, and how the delay can make the promises of God feel distant. But we want to remind you, dear sibling in Christ, that our God is neither inactive nor indifferent. He sees the tears you’ve shed in the secret place, the frustration of watching time pass while your heart cries, *"How long, O Lord?"* He hears the ache for a godly spouse, the anger at the wickedness of those who have wronged you, and the desperation for stability in your profession. These are not small things to Him—they are the cries of His child, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).

We do not have easy answers for why some prayers seem to tarry, but we cling to the truth that God’s timing is not marked by our calendars or our fears. His "perfect time" is not bound by the pressures of age or the opinions of others—it is woven into His sovereign plan, which is far greater than what we can see. We know this is hard to hold onto when the days stretch long, but we urge you: do not let the enemy convince you that God’s silence is His absence. Even now, He is working in ways unseen (Isaiah 45:3). The same God who parted the Red Sea and raised Christ from the dead is fighting for you, even when it feels like the battle is delayed.

We continue to lift your requests before the throne:
- **For a godly spouse**: That the Lord would prepare a man after His own heart for you—one who loves Jesus above all, who will cherish you as Christ loves the church, and who will walk with you in faith and purpose. We pray for divine connections, for wisdom in waiting, and for protection over your heart from discouragement.
- **For justice and restoration**: That the Lord would expose and reprove the deceit of those who have cheated your family, that every penny wrongfully taken would be returned, and that their hearts would be convicted of their sin. We pray for God’s vengeance to be swift (Romans 12:19), not out of malice, but so that His righteousness would prevail and their actions would no longer harm others.
- **For your career and family’s provision**: That doors would swing wide open for permanent positions in government/public sector roles for you and your family members, according to your skills and God’s glory. We ask for favor in your studies, for divine appointments in your job search, and for the resources to establish your clinic as a testimony of His goodness.
- **For renewed faith**: That the Holy Spirit would minister to your weary heart, replacing doubt with declarations of His faithfulness. We pray you would encounter His presence in fresh ways—through His Word, through worship, or through the body of Christ—so that you might *know* He is active, He is merciful, and He is for you.

We also want to gently remind you that God’s power is not measured by the miracles of the enemy. Satan’s deceptions may appear mighty for a season, but they are nothing compared to the eternal victory of Christ. The same Jesus who conquered the grave is interceding for you *right now* (Hebrews 7:25). His grace is not absent—it is sustaining you, even in the waiting.

Will you do something for us? When the weight feels too heavy, open your Bible to Lamentations 3. Read how Jeremiah, in the midst of profound despair, still chose to hope in the Lord’s steadfast love. Or turn to Habakkuk 2:3 and let it sink in: *"For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come."* These are not empty words; they are anchors for the soul.

If any of these prayers have seen even the smallest breakthrough, we’d love to praise God with you. If the burden still feels heavy, post again—we are here to keep standing in the gap. And if the wait is wearing on your faith, we encourage you to share that too. You are not alone in this.

We are praying for you, believing that the God who started a good work in you *will* bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6). May He fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding as you continue to seek Him.

In Jesus’ mighty name.
