“I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
Psalm 116:1–2 NLT
Have you ever talked to someone who seemed distracted or disinterested, nodding but not really listening? It can feel lonely and frustrating. But God is nothing like that.
When you pray, the God of heaven bends down to listen. Not because you’re eloquent. Not because you’ve earned His attention. Simply because you’re His, and He delights in hearing your voice.
This Psalm reminds us of a beautiful truth: God always hears our prayers. And more than that, He responds. Sometimes it’s with rescue. Sometimes with peace in the waiting. But always with love.
No prayer is too small or messy. No request too ordinary. The Lord is near, attentive, and faithful.
So today, let’s lean into that assurance and lift our hearts to Him.
Leave your prayer request in the comments — and while you’re there, take a moment to pray for someone else, too. Let’s be a community that believes together and lifts each other up.
God is listening. And He’s already at work.
Prayers for everyone that posts a request here today. It is so awesome that the same God who created the universe and is all powerful loves to bend down and hear me and is concerned with the details of my life. May you each be blessed, God is good— all the time!
I’m moving soon and am praying for the perfect place where I can be used by God, bring light, and be at peace. I know God has my back, and ha gone before me. Please pray for my strength during the wait, and for my faith not to falter. Thank you and God Bless you!
Dear Shay…..I am praying for you as you move. I have gone through this just a little over a year ago. I will be honest and say it was not easy, but I kept praying that God would give me the strength to get through it as I was by myself and 75 years old. In the beginning I was so weary from all the work to move and then get used to my new apartment. I was used to a large house for 40 years and I had to get rid of so much to move into a 1 bedroom apartment. Slowly I began to adjust to this as I had no other choice. If you know the Serenity Prayer. I finally accepted that I had to have to have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Since I don’t know you, I will say that for me, I had to face a difficult divorce as my husband of 52 years had dementia and tried to kill me so I had other things that weighed heavy on my heart. Just be sure to find a place you really like. That is where I made my mistake. I just went where there was an opening and never asked the right questions. Shay, God will not abandon you and He does not forget you. It sometimes just takes awhile until you may hear from Him, but then it will make you smile and feel much stronger. My love and prayers to you because I feel close to you because of what I just told you. Listen to your Holy Spirit to whisper to you as well. He is ALWAYS with you……………….Betsy Basile
Dear Lird, please be with Shay as she navigates her move. Give her guidance, strength and patience.
Shay,

Blessings 🙂

Praying for you, Avril!
Please pray with me for provision and restoration. My husband’s current job will end this month and we need God’s direction, wisdom and favor for the right open door and provision for our family. Our marriage and connection has also been deeply impacted from years of chronic stress, busyness and disappointment, and we need God’s help and renewal.
Dear Father, would you come meet Dee and her husband in a special way in the midst of their worries and stress. I pray that You will open the right door and provide in amazing ways. I also pray that You will bring restoration and healing to their relationship in this season. Please come fill them with Your beautiful peace and joy while they wait on You. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
I have been struggling with extra bad tension headaches and anxiety the past few months, I would like to ask for prayer for healing and peace.
Good morning Barbara, Jesus sees you and knows your pain.
Lord please heal Barbara of her tension headaches and her anxiety. Help her to cast all her cares on You because You care for her. You care about every detail of her life and all her concerns. Wrap your arms around her and bless her with peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
My husband who is a worship leader and has a homeless music ministry writes beautiful songs about life, love, and mostly about God. Please say a prayer that he has courage to record his songs, and put lyric videos on YouTube to help lead others to know the Lord’s beautiful, tender and powerful love. Thank you.
May the Lord answer everyone’s prayers here. May we all delight in the Lord and He will give us the desire of our hearts in good time.
Pray for me, please. My husband passed away, May 28. He was on hospice for 3 weeks. We had a graveside service yesterday! I know God has been with me through the past 10 weeks and he will continue to be with me. I’m trying to be strong but it’s hard!
Dearest Mae, may our Lord Jesus comfort you in this very hard time. He is the God of all comfort and comforts those who mourn. May He wrap His loving arms around you and strengthen you and bring you peace!
Please pray for my health for miracles. It’s been very hard but God makes miracles every second of every day. Please God bless and help everyone that needs it with what they need and ask in prayer. Thank you God! Thank you!
Mae, I’m so sorry for this deep loss. I became a widow several years ago and God WILL tenderly care for you. I’m praying mind his deep comfort.
Mae, my heart is with you. My husband passed away three and a half years ago. It is hard and lonely at times but you also feel peace and I know God and my husband look out for me each and every day.
May God bless you to feel his love and comfort in the days ahead.

My mom passed in January and my dad has early dementia living on his own. It is so much trying to help him as he is resistant to anything. I don’t know what is grief and what is dementia. Trying to juggle it and figure it all out. I am so tired and worn out as I am the only one helping him. Please pray for my dad and I as we navigate this new season.
Praying for you !!!
Father, give Helen your strength and endurance in this season of caregiving. Comfort her and her father as they grieve and look to you in this new season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Helen,
Praying for you. I have been in your shoes. Ask a social worker if you could get hospice for your dad. We did for mom. It was a blessing to allow dad to have some free time. When dad got bad we moved him to an assisted living. These are just a few options that worked for us.
Father God please give Helen the strength she needs to handle her dad & his dementia. You alone know what she is dealing with. Send people her way to assist her give her the advice she needs. I pray my options are helpful to her. I only want the best for her as I’ve been there also. AMEN

I send my love to every one of you. You are all daughters of God and that is something to always remember. Sometimes the season that we are in, it may slip from our minds due to any number of different problems that you have.

I wish you a wonderful Sunday and Never give up. God is still always with us…………………..Betsy Basile

Heika,
Please know that I have prayed for you! May God be close to you and give you peace as you wait for his help.
In Jesus’ Name,
Thank you for this needed reminder….aging and all the difficulties that come with it create an atmosphere of loss and helplessness. Yes, it is our preparation time to ‘clean out, say needed words to family and friends, to be faithful and focused on Jesus’ …..it is also a time of tremendous loss—-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We are no longer busy serving others or helping with the latest project. Ours is one of reflection and getting legal paperwork completed and all the details of ‘closing an earthly existence.’
It is gift that needs to be cared for diligently! I ask the Lord, once again, to guide my moments and allow me to ‘rest in arms, care and presence until I see Him in person!
Blessings to all of you who are involved in this critically important work— it is needed and appreciated more than you can know…looking forward to being with in heaven!
Please pray that the colonoscopy I have to have later this month will show no cancer. I was diagnosed 4 years ago in June with breast cancer so it is really scarey. I did the cologuard first and they said I needed the colonoscopy. Thank you!
Please pray for my daughter who is struggling right now with deep depression and discouragement. ( (Cynthia).
Thank you!!
God not only hears our prayers, but he answers. Isaiah 65:24 “And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
Karen, I was just praying for your daughter. That GOD would lift her out of the fog of depression and discouragement. I pray that GOD will make a way for her where there seems no way. There is always a way out with the LORD. I pray that GOD’S Holy Angels would surround your daughter protecting her in Jesus Name!
In Courage,
Father God please assist everyone here who needs your help or guidance. Jehovah Jireh you are my provider. Provide financial planning or money needed to meet daily needs. Walk with those going through dark/hard times. For those needing medical help show them where to go & what to do. Be with everyone here & bless them more abundantly than they could ever imagine!
Blessings 🙂
First, I just want to pray for all the requests that are in the comments of this article. I pray that you feel the embrace of God’s healing, peace, comfort, love, hope, understanding, and whatever else you may need.
Also, I would like to ask for some prayers.
First, my family and I have all been battling a sinus cold or head cold this past week and still not feeling 100 percent yet, so I just ask for healing there.
Also, I ask for prayers for my sister. This week she has her final exams for her last year in high school. She is a senior and will be graduating some time in the beginning of June. So, I just ask for wisdom, guidance and clarity as she navigates those tests and her last week of high school.
Husband decision making Dr appointment this Wednesday.
Lord, I need healing in my body and healing in my heart, after a very abusive relationship. I find it hard not to want to be with him.
I need a home as well.
It’s been 8 weeks since my husband lost his contract and job. God has been faithful. God has not yet provided a job. I am feeling the weight of being the only bread winner and I admit its heavy. My heart is full of questions, but yet I trust God. Proverbs 3:5
Please pray that my daughter will be accepted into Vet school. As well, please pray that my husband will be successful in his job interview for paramedic chief.
