Reader Melissa in TX commented,
My husband’s cousin Kelly is one of the three men lost on Mt. Hood in Oregon. Please keep them and their families in your prayers.
Your sister in Christ,
Melissa
I will definitely do that, Melissa, and thanks for posting it here.
[Update from Melissa:]
I need to add an additional request for the Oregon situation:
Lord, please bless those that are assisting in the search. Keep them safe from harm and guide them as they look for these godly men.
And while I’m at it, here’s one for me – I’m having surgery tomorrow so I’ll be offline for a bit. (I have some posts pre-written that WordPress will publish for a few days.) So please pray that the surgeon does a good job, and that everything goes well. Thanks! 
Got a prayer request? Consider this an open post to comment or track it back. I’ll be checking in from the hospital on my Treo when I’m able.
UPDATE: I’m closing comments on this post – prayer requests may be submitted here instead.
May God be with you, your family, and the doctors!
May God bless you as you prepare for the surgery, may He hold your hand every step of the way (no doubt about that!)
and may He guide the surgeon’s hands.

If you have not heard the news, they located a solitary body in a snow cave today.
The family is fairly certain that it is Kelly that was found.
The other two are still up there somewhere. I continue to hope and pray that they are found alive.
The Lord can and has worked miracles.
I would like to thank all that are praying.
I would also like to thank those incredible individuals that are laying their lives n the line to find our loved ones.
I wish I could send them all a hug.
Thank you seems so inadequate.

For healing and restoration of my marriage. For God to heal my husbands heart,mind,and attitude towards me. For God to convict him to come home and deal with the feelings he has for me. For protection from Satans interference which my husband has allowed in our marriage and family. A job for me to help with finacial stress during this time. Healing for our kids especially Nicole and Stephan who are a rougher time. A better running vehicle before the van gives out.For all to be done in Gods mercy,will,design,and plan. For God to shelter us in his arms.

I will certainly pray for Johnny!
Glenna, I will be praying for your family. I know what it is like to be a child of divorce – and I spent many years without having a relationship with my father, so I well know the problems that can cause. If you are not in a good, supportive church, please find one. It will be an enormous help, both on the practical and spiritual issues at hand.
And this series I wrote on forgiveness might be useful to you.
I pray for the restoration, and reconciliation of my marriage. My husband Timothy walked out and filed for divorce. He says that he is no longer willing to try to reconcile, and I pray that he will give it a try. I pray that we can make this marriage work for the sake of our vows, ourselves, and our three children. God said that what he has joined together let no one put asunder, and that includes my husband. I pray for a stronger walk with God for both me and my husband, and for strength, patience, and renewed faith. I bind satan and this spirit of divorce in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you God for a happy marriage, a loving husband, and obedient children. I ask these and all things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[From Laura:
Li Lok,
I'm not sure if you saw my response above, but you should stop hurting yourself. God does not require you to hurt yourself when you pray. It is the opposite, you should care for your body because God gave it to you to serve Him, and when you hurt it, you cannot serve him as well. I know of people in China who are also spreading the gospel, both in the lao-gai and outside of it. I will pray for you to have spiritual growth, but, believe me, hurting yourself is not helping spread the Gospel. I will pray for you and for your family. Please DO NOT hurt yourself. God does not want you to hurt yourself; there is nothing in the bible that commands it. I will pray that you stop wanting to hurt yourself.
If you are saved - if you are in Christ, if you have accepted that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins - then God will never punish you for the sins you committed before. Romans 8:1 says that “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
More than anything I will pray that you received peace from the Holy Spirit who dwells in you.

This is a prayer request on behalf of Alejandro Salvador Reyes,Sr. of Nassau Bay,Texas.He’s an innocent man who’s helped others and now needs prayer to win his court case and get it immediately dismissed.His freedom & family depend on it.
I need plenty more belief, plenty more power of prayer and more Holy Ghost with me. Please pray also that God gives me gifts of God’s grace.
I am battling depression due to a recent corporate layoff. I have diligently looked for work for the last 2 and a half months. Close to Christmas I had several interviews with the same Company. Currently, I can not determine if I am still considered as an applicant or not despite attempts to clarify my status. I think knowing one way or another would assist in my depression. Please pray that I can obtain some peace and importantly a job offer soon. I am without health benefits for myself and son. Thank you in advance for any of your prayers…
