“The Lord always keeps his promises;
he is gracious in all he does.
The Lord helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
The eyes of all look to you in hope;
you give them their food as they need it.
When you open your hand,
you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.
The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth.
He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues them.”
Psalm 145:13-19 NLT
Isn’t it incredible that the God who created the heavens and earth — the One who holds time and eternity in His hands — is also near to you right now? He invites you to call on Him, not as a last resort, but as your first response.
When we pray, we’re not sending words into the void. We’re being drawn into communion with a loving Father who hears every whisper, catches every tear, and promises to act according to His good and faithful will.
Prayer isn’t about getting the perfect words right. It’s about being real with the God who already knows and still says, “Come.” Whether you’re feeling strong or struggling to breathe under the weight of your worries, you are never alone. Your voice matters. Your needs matter. You matter.
So whatever you’re carrying today — heartaches, hopes, or hallelujah — bring it to Jesus. He’s listening. He’s with you. He cares.
We’d be honored to pray with you. Leave your prayer request in the comments below. And if you’re able, pause to pray for the woman who commented before you. Let’s lift each other up in the love of Christ.
You are not alone. God is near.
Love this! This may sound silly but I have this body spray from Bath and Body Works called A Thousand Wishes, and when I spray it I say, “A Thousand Prayers” and think of how I say many prayers every day to God. I pray lots for my family members to be saved (siblings, parents, grandma, nieces and nephews especially). May the Lord hear and answer all of our prayers and may we trust Him and His timing.
AMEN!
Oh, I love that scent! I’m the only one in my family too. I’ll keep you in my prayers!
I thank you in advance for your prayers calling upon God to answer my prayers of the last 13 years beseeching our Father to heal, renew, and refresh the hurting hearts of my two adult sons.
Blessings, Kathleen

We are in a devastating scenario and it feels like the world is crashing in on us. All the details, needs and timeline feel impossible. Please pray for the Lord to be imperceptibly near and for Him to orchestrate every tiny detail that we need figured out. Pray for him to show us the next steps forward. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen
Father, please let Rebecca and her family feel Your presence and give them peace as You resolve this situation. Nothing is impossible for You. You know every detail and need. Hold them tightly on Your loving arms. In Jesus’ Name.
Pray for my mother who is in ICU this morning. I don’t know how much longer she has left. She knows Jesus and her prayer is my siblings recommit their lives to Christ again. Thank you.
Pam my prayers are with you and the whole family at this time with your Mum in ICU. I am so glad your Mum knows the Lord. That when she does go to bed with Jesus. She will have a new body. I know you as family will miss her. But if all of you are saved. You will when the times comes have good memories of times spent together to hold in your heart for ever. Eve though when that time comes. You have not lost all if saved you have something to look forward too. That when you leave earth you will see her again and see her with a bran new body. No matter sickness. You will all be together again with Jesus never to be apart. That when that day happens. I know it will be sad to loose your Mum. You can all that are saved say we have not lost all. We will see our Mum in glory one day. I say Amen to that. None of my Family expect my Husband are saved. We have no kids. So I don’t know if my late Mum gave her life to Jesus. She knew I prayed for her. But you could never tell her she needed Jesus in her heart. As. She says don’t tell me what to do. I hope I see her there one day. I pray for my Dad too with Dementia before he gets worse with it. He said to me before he took Dementia good you believe all that. He is the type of man only before getting Dementia only go to church for special occasions and if someone died. He knows I pray for him. So it good to know your Mum saved. I want nothing from my Dad when he leaves earth but to see him saved before he leaves earth and his Dementia gets worse. That would be the best present my Dad could give me. I pray when your mum passes to the arms of Jesus she goes peacefully. In my prayers. Love Dawn xx

Fear of starting a new job this month after doing the same type of job for 7 years.
Fear of the financial hit to make the transition.
Fear of making the right choice with the new job.
Lord God, I lift up to you Jennie as she transitions to a new calling. Wrap your loving arms around her and give her peace in this new venture. Guide her to make choices that follow your will.
Jennie,
Like you, I too, am in the midst of transition. I’m fearful, but trusting that God will see us through our finances as well as trusting that the right choices were made.
Be blessed!

You died for her and you love her so much. You want her to have an abundant life filled with Joy and for that joy-His Light to shine through her and help others to know that sweet mercy and forgiveness and love. Come Holy Spirit.

When we call God listens!
My husband and I are desperately looking for a rental house that seems impossible here in New England. The rents are beyond what we can afford. Please pray that we can locate our long term rental property until Jesus takes us to our forever home.
Needed this today. It’s my birthday, the 3rd of August…and yet, now…just another day really. Lost my husband to Parkinson’s less than two years ago, so each day is a struggle just to get through it. I know I WILL get through it because as you said, He is near. I am so thankful for that.
Praying for you Dawn. Happy Birthday and may God bless you with peace, hope, joy and love today and everyday. I’m so sorry for your loss and and send you lots of love and hugs

Appreciate your Daily Devotions and Please Pray I’ll meet someone “Special” to connect with, share thoughts, talking, Prayers, LAUGHTER, walks and traveling…may even live together! Have no family connection and most friends died or moved away! THANK you, an “old hippie” (**)
Please pray that my son’s petition to the AZ Court of Appeals will be heard and acted upon favorably by the three judges. He did not receive a fair trial, and was represented poorly by an attorney that we paid to defend him. Both he and I trust in our Advocate, Jesus Christ, Who forever makes petitions before the Father in heaven. To God be the glory forever!
Prayers for all those needs of my (in)courage family!
Hope and healing. Strength in weariness. His peace.
I just want to ask for prayers in my walk with the Lord. Help me to remember that it is about truly connecting with Him, not in the amount of verses I read in a day or the amount of prayers in a day. I want to make sure I’m not having a check list faith, while I’m glad that habits of spending time is forming, I want to have a better understanding and not just have to, but get to mentality.
Also, I just want to pray for a great school year up ahead. I’m going into my 3rd or 4th year of substitute teaching. I ask for wisdom, safety, guidance, love and light.
Also, my little sister is about to start college in the fall. She wants to be an Art teacher. I pray for wisdom, joy, safety, and guidance on this new journey for her.
I also want to pray for all the requests in the previous comments. I pray that God is surrounding you and meeting you in whatever need or circumstances you are facing. May you feel His embrace and love throughout it all. Amen.
I would like prayers to find friends and to get rid of my loneliness.
I will be praying for all the beautiful prayer intentions and for each person and their families who have commented. Thank you for your courage in sharing what is close to your hearts!
I would be very grateful if you could pray for a few things:
My father who is struggling a lot with his health and feeling overwhelmed with stress and work. He is a godly man and a wonderful husband and father. Please pray for God’s will to be done in his life and for peace and true rest for him.
Some health issues that I am going through (digestion problems, hyperhidrosis, infected skin behind my knees, breathing troubles and overly sensitive throat that easily gets irritated). I am completely surrendered to Him and trust that He will heal me in His perfect timing.
My future. I completely trust that God knows where I’m going and He has already done some incredible things for me this year that I never expected. Please pray that I may foster a deeper relationship with our Lord and be perceptive to where He is calling me.
Thank you all so much! May God bless you abundantly and grant the desires of your hearts.

Do lift up my elderly mum, Dolly Ong and Sim Lian chye for their salvation-
that during these struggling times in the hospital both are healed and have chance to
call on Lord Jesus as their Abba God.
Thank you.
I am grateful my friend had a peaceful passing. She will be dearly missed all. I am asking for God to protect me and all that loved her. I am asking he give us peace and provide us comfort today and every day. Open our hearts and eyes to the peaceful moments so we can feel your presence and her love which will forever surround.
Until we are together again. I love you.
Amen
We are in the midst of detestation. Having to start all over – please pray for God’s mercy, grace, guidance and miraculous provision. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
Thank you for the encouragement from the Word. I have not been a good manager of my finances and now at 59, I have no savings. But God has given me a second chance to start a new chapter in a new career. I am afraid of the future and how i will fend for myself. I am a single parent of an adult daughter and i don’t want to become a burden on her in my old age. I can’t say too much here but God knows. Amen
God she’s you, Carol, and us helping you even when you can’t see Him. He is holding you in his righteous right hand and will help you find a way. We’re here for you!
Prayers of gratitude today!
