    Please pray for us my husband is in hospital he has a blood infection. He’s suppose to get out on 11/4/2026. But this is the second time he’s had to be hospitalized for a blood infection. Within 2 months. It’s going to be difficult for us this year to get Christmas gifts for our children this year. Thanks for your prayers.

    Please pray for Clay and Bethany as we prepare to say goodbye to our beloved Gabby Girl on November 6th after 14 years of unconditional doggy love. We are heartbroken and ask for prayers for peace, strength, and comfort during this incredibly difficult time. Please pray that Gabby feels surrounded by love and that God carries us through the grief of losing such a special part of our family.

    I need a prayer request for my son, Charlie. He was feeling sick starting Thursday night with diarrhea, vomiting, and weakness a few days after his GLP1 meds. His wife took him to the hospital yesterday because he wasn’t improving with rest. His blood pressure dropped super low, and he wasn’t keeping enough fluids. They admitted him for kidney failure because his creatinine levels were way too high which meant his kidney’s were shutting down. They’ve been pushing continuous IV fluids and his kidney function has dramatically improved. The Dr said the kidneys are pretty resilient and bounce back. They’re going to keep him in the hospital until his kidney function reaches normal. Thank-you Susan Raczok

    I was recently in the hospital after a heart attack. They put two stints in. I wanted to praise God for his mercy and grace that I'm still here and alive. I'm doing well and can't do much for the next month. I want to thank my wife, Denise, for her strength and love for helping me to get through this time in our lives. Asking the Lord for healing.

    My friend Darrell contacted me that he would like prayer for a right mid abdominal lump that appeared. He has a history of melanoma that was resolved. He is a strong believer and a worship team guitar player.

    Please pray for Brave Blom. His mother, Brittnee, has requested "as many prayer warriors as you can muster" to pray for Brave's rare skin disease (generalized morphea). The treatment is causing issues with his blood cell count (borderline neutropenia) and also his liver. They have a follow-up Pediatric Dermatology appointment at Helen DeVos Wednesday, October 7. They are asking for prayers for a Holy healing of this rare condition, so their precious son can reduce (or even stop!) taking the drugs.

    Just requesting prayer for my mom, Debbi Spykerman. She is going in for emergency back surgery today, Monday Oct 5th, at 3:30 for a severe compression fracture. Prayers for the surgical team as she already has back hardware which they will likely need to remove and replace as well. Prayers for her healing as she has RA so severely and no immune system- surgery is always a little risky, especially with putting metal into the body. Also pray for my dad who will be her caretaker through a recovery. Thank you!

    My marriage is falling apart. I have tried everything I know how to make amends for my years of addiction including my 7 years of sobriety. My wife has left and doesn’t want to make any efforts at reconciliation. She feels counseling or therapy is unsafe for her. Pray for our hearts our healing my children and their pain.

    This year has hurt tremendously. I left an abusive marriage and toxic work environment, which left a hole the size of my whole life. Everything I’ve worked toward for more than a decade came to naught—my marriage, my career, my future plans. Although I’m determined to keep going for my daughter’s sake and have been getting back to work as my mental health improves (with much encouragement and guidance from my support team) we’re now facing eviction in October, and an in depth divorce hearing, which my daughter is unaware of. God keeps reminding me he’s with me, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, or that I feel okay about life. I’m trying to hide my stress from my daughter who is 14 and a freshman this year and going through her own inner turmoil. Friend of the court has given 50/50 parenting time, and I’m afraid the situation at her dad’s has only worsened since I left the home. My hands feel tied while I drown, but Gods hands are not. Please pray for wisdom, guidance, and delivery from this hell. Love to all and so much gratitude.

    Susan is asking for prayer for some basal cell carcinoma that's shown up on her lip. She's had this before, and the treatment worked. Please pray that the treatment will work again to destroy the cancer cells. Thank you!
