Natalie Please pray for my dear friend Milo, who was recently deported. I believe there may have been serious legal errors or injustices in his case, and I ask for your prayers that the truth will come to light and that any mistakes will be recognized and corrected. Please pray that God opens every necessary door, guides the attorneys and officials involved, and grants Milo justice, protection, strength, and peace during this difficult time. I especially ask for the grace of a swift and favorable resolution that will allow him to return safely to the United States and be reunited with those who love and miss him. May Our Lord make a way where there seems to be no way, and may His justice and mercy prevail. Please keep Milo and his intentions in your prayers. Amen. 15 September 2026

Ashley Every mistake seems to get my mum Glenda off in anger; her threats don’t help. Her mental health seems to be getting worse. Hard to explain but often assumes, the worst, thinking she knows what one is thinking or saying. I hope not to be kicked out or worse, she seems not to be able to handle much without losing it. Hope my period doesn’t happen soon, as I worry about my actions; past, present, but especially the future ones. My dad Al is sick; hope he gets well enough soon. Hope when or if I return home, that I’m not forced to take my room apart, or my parents don’t do too much to my room without warning; worry about more important things, like water damage, due to rain (rained lots) and other factors. Hope my parents and I find everything we need; before we return home, without going too overboard. Hope my medical scooter batteries still work without issues. Hope not to get sick with the cold or flu. 8 September 2026

Alan Kindly please pray the all gracious Lord also graces me a healing of my hellish schizophrenia illness, suffered daily for 18 years, as he has healed some who have suffered the same for 12 years. 8 September 2026

To source a professional, female, low-cost domestic cleaner as a matter of urgency. With thanks, Ruth 8 September 2026  
Ashley Long story short, my mum Glenda thinks that my dad did something bad to her money, again; hope she is wrong about it, as now she is after my money. I hope she doesn’t go through my money, but I think she is going after it. Hope no one besides myself, goes through my money until the 17th. My family wants a puppy; I like dogs, but bad idea, considering my parents are getting older; my dad Al is sick, my mum’s mental health is getting worse, and so on. We are out of town, don’t know if I will return home, due my mum’s threats and things going wrong. If I do return home, hope not be forced to take my room apart; worry about more important things like possible water damage. Hope my dad Al gets better soon. Hope my mum’s mental health, will be less severe, soon. She is hard to take, and she slapped me today; okay I was a moron, but I don’t know if I deserved it or not. 7 September 2026  
Shruthi Please pray for my husband Ronald Austin as tomorrow (Sept 8th - 1am EDT) is the First hearing for a falsely accused Stealing case at the court in Oman . Please pray that court finds the case doesn't have any legal grounds and thus its invalid, and clears his name from any future problems regarding the same. 7 September 2026  
Wendy May God bless Wendy, her family, friends & acquaintances in all areas of their life. Lord please heal & sanctify their souls. Please continue to send your love to their heart, and joy & peace to their life so that they may choose a different path. 7 September 2026  
Ashley Have some computer issues. One computer has issues turning on at times, hope it stops doing that, as it is the newest. The other two computers have issues; one very old, the other don’t know if I can explain it all or not but hope my mum Glenda isn’t responsible for it, as she did do things to cause computer issues before; mostly with apps, but at times more serious ones. Someone did something to a wall, long story, but my mum made threats to stay behind (my family is out of town) and likely other threats and also gets angry when my dad Al doesn’t do enough, but he can only do so much, as he is sick. Sometimes she ‘understands and at least sort-of cares’ but other times no. Hope he gets well enough to do things soon. My mum is a mentally ill bully, for example didn’t like how I cooked food today (6th); her threats don’t help. My family is returning home, soon, hope my mum doesn’t get difficult nor a bully the day we are returning home. 7 September 2026  
Jays Dearest Sisters in Christ, I ask for your special intercessory prayers for the eternal repose of our beloved mother, Felisina de Vega, who passed away suddenly on August 8, 2026. For many years I prayed for her healing. And I always believed it would come. And indeed it always came. God answered it differently this time, and I am still learning to accept it. She was a great wonderful, joyful and generous, pious mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and a faithful, indefatigable servant of the Lord who unselfishly and generously gave far more to the church than than anyone I know personally. What she leaves behind cannot be measured, and neither can our sorrow. May the perpetual light of God shine upon her, and may she rest in His peace. Please pray for our family. Pray that the Lord grants us the strength, courage, wisdom, and peace to carry on, and that He fills the emptiness she left in our hearts. Pray that He heals us and draws us closer to one another, so that we may walk forward in unity and humility, and face whatever comes as one family. For myself, I ask humbly for your prayers: for health and strength, for God's provision, and for His protection and grace in all my dealings and in the road ahead. I lift up my own marriage and family as well. I still believe the Lord can heal what is broken, and I am holding on to that hope. Please pray for my children, Sophia and Dr. Johann, that God may keep them in righteousness, holiness, and humility, and bless them with good health, joy in their marriages, and success in their work and in their lives. And for my granddaughter Ayvee, that she may grow up graceful and wise, beautiful in heart, and flourish in her studies. Thank you for your prayers and intercessions. They mean more to our family than you know. God bless you all 6 September 2026  
Ashley I made a change because I had to. I hope not to get into trouble for it. Hope it turns out. As if I didn’t make that change something worse would have happened. Hope to have enough food and supplies for the next five or so days. Some things might ger harder in the next few days, help me get through it, as I won’t have the energy to deal with it, as must deal with lack of sleep. 6 September 2026  
Sarah Michele Day Dear Prayer Ministers, I pray that my support payments do not end prior to when they were originally intended to end. I pray that I am safe always and protected always, and that my sons are safe always and protected always. I pray to have financial security and to own my home with no payments owing, and that God helps me with all of this. I pray that my home never sells. I pray to go home as soon as possible or as soon as God is able to help me go home and live at my home. I pray that my sons and I become as close as is best for us to become. I pray that God helps us with all of this. I pray that all the miracles that need to happen for all of this happen for all of this. Thank you so much for praying for me and my sons. We are so grateful. Sincerely, Sarah Michele Day, Ontario, Canada, born October 18, 1967 and sons Owen (Thomas Owen) and Jesse. 5 September 2026
