Prominent conservative evangelical leader Pat Robertson has asked his followers to join in on prayer to cast a "shield of protection" ahead of Hurricane Florence. In a video shared online by Right Wing Watch, the televangelist cited a passage from the bible in which Jesus commanded the wind and water on the Sea of Galilee to "be still." While delivering remarks in Virginia, which is home to his Christian Broadcasting Network and where thousands are bracing for Florence's arrival, Robertson asked if his followers could invoke the same words from the passage to accomplish a similar result "if we are...

Please pray for my Aunt in Ireland who is terribly ill and the socialized medicine doctors don't seem to have a clue what it is. Please pray that Deirdre gets the diagnosis and care she needs somehow. It seems it may take a miracle.

I am asking for prayers for my Father and Family. My Dad, John Henry is 90 yrs and has been ill for the last 3 yrs. 3 weeks ago he fell and broke his hip and his chances of recovery were very poor. He was being poorly cared for at Mercy Hosp. in Pittsburgh and we moved him to a hospice facility on Friday. He is now out of pain but his time is short. Dad is a proud Veteran of the US Army where he achieved the rank of Master Sgt and was wounded during the Huk rebellion in...

My Pastor's wife's niece and nephew were killed today by a out of control car, which ran up a curb and hit them in a yard. I cannot imagine) greater grief than losing two kids in one incident. I am generally pretty strong in the Spirit, but I am having a definite strain here...bad things happening to good people. PRAYERS PLEASE for those two poor kids, the family, my pastor and his wife, and myself. Thanks.

The news was good. We were right on time with our list of questions and the answers made us very happy. Today we went to my wife’s doctor to get his opinion of her situation after her needle biopsy to check for breast cancer. He is very kind and almost as soon as he walked into the examination room he said to my wife, “You do not have cancer. Say that,” He waited until she said “I don’t have cancer,” before he explained that it was unfortunate that the word “carcinoma” is in the diagnosis she was read by the...

For the past few weeks my wife and I have been dealing with the possibility that she has breast cancer. Today we got a call that says most of the problem is benign BUT there is still something that has to be addressed. We see a surgeon tomorrow and we are hoping he will say any procedure that is called for can be done in a few months as we have lots of things lined up for the summer. We have prayed together about this and are taking things one step at a time. Please pray with us that we...

A friend is struggling to put his life together and put bad decisions and a terrible act in his past behind him for good. His mother, who is also a friend, has asked me for prayers that he might be granted a special request which will move him forward. I can’t say what it is because doing so would reveal who my friend is and his terrible act would be revealed. I realize that joining me in prayer for this special favor from God which will bring him so much closer to his final reclamation, requires blind faith and trust...

I request your prayers for my wife, Agnes, who had a minor heart attack this afternoon caused by a blocked coronary artery. She underwent a cardiac catherization and is fine. She was awake and talking with the EMTs and doctors all the way though. She is tired but says she feels much better. She will be in the hospital at least until Thursday evening.

As Easter approaches, one Christian family is praying for a miracle: the return of their kidnapped daughter who refuses to renounce her faith. It’s a story the networks aren’t telling. Last month, terrorist group Boko Haram captured an estimated 110 schoolgirls in Dapchi, Nigeria. On March 21, the Nigerian government confirmed that the girls who survived were freed. But one was missing: the only Christian girl among them, 15-year-old Leah Sharibu. According to her friends, it’s because she refuses to convert to Islam. For Good Friday, the Christian Association of Nigeria called for prayers for Leah, as her father hopes...

My friend and neighbor has lost his vision. (Navy Veteran) He has a special needs son that would qualify to be institutionalized. But sheer determination has allowed for his son to be cared for at home. My neighbor can no longer drive, or write out checks for his monthly bills. Please pray for this man as he has a heart as big as the state he lives in. (Texas). Thank you !

Freepers please lift my dear friend Debbie Thompson in prayer. She went to the doctor because she wasn't feeling well this morning and now she's been admitted for a heart Cath tomorrow because her doctor has found blockages. Debbie is a one-in-a million lady who has stepped up and helped me out so many times I cannot count them; the most important one is she has become a surrogate grandmother to my daughter because my own mom passed away over 10 years ago. Debbie is a wonderful christian woman who I consider to be salt of the Earth.

Like you see in the movies about crazy people, but from a 12 year old. we have tried all sorts of therapy but nothing seems to move the needle. The last evaluation mentioned posbile hospitalization and medications. Does anyone have experience with this?

Please pray for Elizabeth, 96 yrs old. She had a fall and a stroke tonight. Nothing broken but she was terrified, did not recognize family, couldn't speak for a while,was afraid of the EMTs. Perked up a little to let them know she will NOT go to the hospital! We called our priest. She knew him (!) and was happy to receive the Sacraments! Some language and mobility returned but she is very frail. She's always been strong in her faith and good-humored. And I was proud when an EMT asked her who the president is, she gave an enthusiastic...

Well I must tell you what has happened. Sophia's surgery is in eight days and about a week ago I asked if she wanted anything for the trip to Boston. She said she wanted me to get the entire world to pray for her on the day of the surgery. I started making calls, sending emails, and it is starting to happen!! Our congressman Jodey Arrington went on tv to tell her he is praying! He sent her the most beautiful private video last night that made me cry. This man is a worthy leader in politics as he is...
