Prayer requests
The past few days we had a few prayer requests in different threads. I know there are several people here who are religious and thought this might contribute. I hope this kind of thread doesn't bother non-religious members though.
But finding a moment for others, be it in your prayers or be it just a moment in your thoughts, is always good right?

I don't pray, but I do care a lot about other people, be it in day to day life or online. I think that thoughtfulness, in and of itself, is a good thing for everyone. It brings people together.

Mari, an excellent idea! I have not had time to read all the requests on the different threads since I haven't had time to read all the threads! Thanks for the heads up. All those who have made the requests are now in my prayers (and BJ, some have been for a while )!
"Almighty God, we entrust all those who have specific requests to Thy never failing care and love, believing that Thou are doing better things for them than we can even desire, and better than they can desire even! Your care never fails! Grant them faith, hope and love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

I'm updating here on my friend with the cancer. It has returned.
This will involve some major changes for everyone, continued prayer and good thoughts are very much appreciated.

SaCaA, done. I remembered all my Entmooters and their prayer requests during Eucharist today. I'll add this concern also.

Do they have to be Christian prayers, or will any do?
I have your friend in my thoughts Sis....

I'm sure any would be okay, look at BJ, he's not praying at all, it is just the thoughts of others, they bring encouragement.

Okay, I know I've asked for this before, but please pray for me and my retake tomorrow. It's from 11h to 13h. I'm so nervous I feel nauseated. I wish this were over. Yesterday I tried repeating all the work I have done the past week, but I had forgotten so many characters. This is going to be a disaster...
