Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

62 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

You may have noticed the subreddit undergoing some changes recently. In an effort to give the space a reboot, things have been tidied and updated to help us operate smoothly so we can best support and encourage each other. As part of this renovation there are a few points to highlight:

  • If you have not read the rules in a while, please take a moment to review them as they have been updated and reorganized. If you wish to better understand the principles upon which our rules have been established you can also view our Statement of Faith page.
  • We have flair for praises now. You are encouraged to share your positive updates, answered prayers, and general praises. Let’s see some of those little green tags in here!
  • Our filters are fairly strict due to faith-based subreddits being common targets for trolls and scams. If your post is caught in the filter, please reach out to ModMail and it will be reviewed and appropriate action taken. (Please use the “message the mods” option at the bottom of the sidebar, not the chat feature or private messages to individual mods.)
  • Please REPORT any rule violations you see. We are a small team and reports help draw our attention to violations much more quickly. You can help keep our community safe by utilizing the reporting feature.

Speaking of which...

We are looking to expand our moderation team! The role of a moderator is to uphold and enforce the rules which have been built upon our Statement of Faith, so all applicants should be in agreement with both. If you are interested in becoming a mod, kindly send a ModMail to the subreddit answering the questions below. Please feel free to include anything else that you think may be useful to know as well.

  1. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your testimony/faith? (Such as how long you have been a Christian, if you consider yourself a particular denomination or part of any movement, or anything else which may help communicate your beliefs.)
  2. What times are you usually most active on reddit? (Please make sure to include your time zone.)
  3. Do you have any experience being a moderator on reddit or elsewhere?
  4. Why would you like to become a moderator for r/PrayerRequests?
  5. Do you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss regarding the position of moderator?

Please pray for our subreddit and its future as we seek to grow our moderation team.

Thank you all!

Please join me in praying for 7 year old Daniel

70 Upvotes

I’m asking for some serious prayers this morning for a little boy named Daniel and his family.

Daniel has been battling a form of childhood kidney cancer. After previously going into remission, his cancer has returned, and he is now facing an incredibly dangerous emergency surgery.

His tumor has grown so large that it is pressing against several vital organs and involves major blood vessels. His surgeons are attempting to remove the cancer while preserving enough of his liver and kidney function for him to survive. His family was told he has approximately a 40% chance of surviving the surgery.

Please pray specifically for the surgeons’ hands to be guided, for the complete removal of the cancer, for his liver and kidneys to be protected, for no major bleeding or complications, and for his little body to withstand this operation.

Most importantly, please pray that Daniel wakes up from surgery, recovers, and gets to go home to his family.
His parents have been told that without intervention, he may only have days left.

Please take a moment today to lift Daniel, his parents, and his entire medical team up in prayer. We’re praying for a miracle, for complete healing, and for this sweet little boy to have a long, beautiful life ahead of him.

EDITING TO ADD UPDATES:
- 10 AM: Surgery is beginning. Please pray.

- 2:45 PM: Doctors were initially very concerned that the pressure from his tumor on his lungs could cause cardiac arrest during anesthesia. Thankfully, he made it through anesthesia safely, and surgery is underway.

As of the latest update, Daniel is stable! He initially required two blood transfusions, but his bleeding has slowed, and the surgical team has been able to manage it without additional transfusions.

Unfortunately, surgeons did have to remove his right kidney. They are now approaching the liver portion of the surgery, which is especially critical.

The entire operation is expected to last approximately 11 hours.

Please continue to pray for Daniel! Please pray that his liver and its blood supply can be preserved, that his bleeding remains controlled, and that the surgeons can safely remove all of the cancer.

I truly believe in the power of prayer, and have been so touched by all of your support. What an amazing group. ❤️

Prayers for my Husband please

43 Upvotes

My husband was diagnosed with cancer lastbyear and went through intensive treatment - induction chemo and concurrent chemoradiation, God knows it took a lot from him to recover from all the side effects, last treatment was Jan 2026. We got married by August and then just this September his left face got inflamed including his eye to the point where he is having a hard time opening it. We are brokenhearted that this may mean cancer is back 😭😩 Please pray that God will bestow a miracle upon him and that his MRI scans tomorrow will be unremarkable. May he regain his strength, not have a hard time eating and just be filled with peace of mjnd, heart, hope and joy in the Lord. Include me also in your prayers, thank you. Would really appreciate your time to pray for us. God bless is all.

Update to prayer requests about trying to reconcile estranged relationships: God is now directing me to stop reaching out.

9 Upvotes

In spite of a lot of beauty coming out of me trying to fix these relationships, this has generally been a difficult process and these people have disrespected and abused me to my face as I've tried to make peace. I tried to push past it hoping it would eventually stop. They are not Christian although many of them think they are. They openly live very worldly, ungodly lives and I am not the only person who they have hurt. I am disappointed but believe there is a purpose to all this as I know for certain God wanted me to at least try to fix these relationships. Please pray about others in my life being blinded to the harm that these people have tried to do/are trying to do to me. There are people in my life who have pushed for me to make peace in these relationships but in unwise ways that didn't consider how complex this situation is. It's like they can't see the reality of how complicated everything is.

While I agreed with their advice to make peace, it's been difficult with them not understanding that this process needed wisdom and prayer and caution given the reasons behind why my relationships with these individuals were strained in the first place. Sorry to be going on like this but please pray about all this. I apologize if I now sound as if I'm going backward from previous prayer requests. I genuinely was hoping this would work out but it seems it will not. Pray for the salvation of these people. Thank you.

Prayer for tomorrow admissions test

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have my ESAT admissions test tomorrow and I’ve been extremely stressed about it because it is going to determine whether I can get into my dream university (Oxford & Imperial). I’ve worked really hard for the last month but haven’t seen much improvement, I am worried about my performance tomorrow and that I will come out with a terrible score that would completely shut down my chances for these universities. Please can someone pray for me, I’ve struggled a lot over these few weeks and had times where I wanted to completely give up. I have my exam in about 18 hours. Thanks 🙏 ✝️

Prayer request for a better life

7 Upvotes

Hello. I'd really appreciate prayers for a better quality of life overall. I have been struggling with bad anxiety and depression. I have also been under significant financial stress, which isn't making my health any better. I wouldn't normally ask for prayers for money, but because it is connected to my health, I would appreciate a prayer for a financial breakthrough.

Thank you.

I am an atheist but I ask you to please pray for my mother because I can't myself. I beg you nice people to pray for her.

103 Upvotes

My mother is a single mother, my father passed away when I was just a 3 month old baby.

Ever since then it has been me and my mother only. She is all I have got and I am all she has got, without her I don't have anyone and I am alone.

She has an atrial septal defect in her heart and she will be going in surgery next week but I am afraid of the worse what if something happens to her what if she never makes it.

I am all alone scared, even though I am a man now but i am just scared as babies would about the loss of their mother

Today I beg in front of you to pray for her for us not as man but a child who is afraid of losing the parent, the only family he had.

I hope that the good people here will find it in their hearts to pray for me and my mother even though I am atheist

That you will show compassion for an outsider as if I am your own.

Please pray for my mother please....

Taking everything in me not to call him

13 Upvotes

Please pray for me for I am missing someone so bad. I messaged him and told him I love him because my heart would explode if I don't express it.

I pray for him almost everyday that God would save him even if he's not for me. But the yearning has been growing again. I've been expressing to God how tired I am of thinking about him but I struggle to forget him.

Please pray for my heart.

Seeking 5 Volunteers for My Hypnotherapy Course Case Studies

1 Upvotes

I’m a believer currently taking a hypnotherapy course & I’d love to share a little of my story.

A few years ago, I lost my brother to cancer & three years later, my dad. At one point, I honestly thought I’d never get back on my feet. But two wonderful hypnotherapists helped me through the grief & supported me in finding my footing again. That experience helped me work through a lot of pain & I hope to support others in the same way I was supported.

As part of my course, I’m looking for five volunteers to take part in my student case studies in November. You can choose a topic or goal you’d like to work on. You'll also have a recording for you to keep & revisit whenever you’d like.

If you’re interested in certain changing patterns that have held you back for a long time, send me a DM. I’d love to work with you 🌸✨

Prayer for more new Godly friends

18 Upvotes

Hi there. I have lost friends over the years and it’s become more difficult to make new ones because I can’t drive, don’t have a job, (seizures and schizoaffective disorder amongst other issues) and I have mild autism and cognitive difficulties.

I had a boyfriend who was Christian but we parted ways recently. I left a friend group because of toxicity, and my best friend who was a part of that friend group, decided to stop talking with me on an individual basis.

I also need to learn how to be a good friend and set right boundaries with people. I haven’t always been a good friend

The loneliness hit me like a train today. Please pray for me 💔

Please pray for me -- I hate almost everyone

57 Upvotes

I know that the Lord commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves. I just can't seem to do it, and my hatred for so many others is getting worse. I hate people I work with, to the point that it is going to rapidly cause problems for me at work. I hate what I do for work. I hate so many drivers on the road. I hate people in my life who aren't family or very close friends. I hate the people who govern me. I hate the doctors and medical professionals that I see and that my wife sees (she has chronic health problems). The hatred is just growing and growing. I don't want to hate people but I can't seem to help it. It just takes over me and it's becoming more and more powerful. I don't want to be a person who hears from Jesus "I never knew you." Sometimes I even hate God. Please pray for me.

Unjust punishment at work

5 Upvotes

Without getting into to many details, I’m in the military and someone above me at work made a mistake. Nobody was injured and nothing got damaged yet they are trying to put all the punishment on me for doing what I was told. It has been over a month now of one punishment after another from paperwork to taking certifications away even changing my shift completely to “babysit” me. I have over 10 years experience at the same work center and am an NCO.
I’m just asking for anyone that sees this to please pray for me because I’m having an extremely hard time enduring this and not losing hope and patience.

Noisy roommate oxygen machine

My daughter is situated in her new room at rehab. .. Things have been okay. Unfortunately her roommate has a very loud oxygen machine which is giving her a migraine. Her roommate is a sweet older woman. Since her brain bleed , noise is bothering my daughter a lot more. We've spoken to staff and they are trying to find a solution but I'm not sure earplugs would do the trick. Anyway please pray for a solution Thank you Lord for the trials you bring to draw us closer to you. In Jesus Christ's name.Amen.
