May We Pray for You?

Prayer is powerful. When we pray, we communicate with God, support one another, attune ourselves to God’s presence in our lives, and open our hearts to be moved by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible tells us to “be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let [our] requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6, NKJV).

The Bible also tells us to bear each other’s burdens. Praying for one another is an excellent way to do that. So, if there are burdens you would like us to bear for you in prayer, or praises you would like us to celebrate with you in prayer, fill out the prayer request box below.

Whether you need prayer for healing, encouragement, faith, or anything else that may be on your heart, your Adventist friends will sincerely pray for you.

  • “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39, ESV).

If you are praying for deliverance from fear:

 

  • “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, ESV)
  • “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4, ESV).
  • “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6, ESV).

Whatever you are praying for, your prayers will be handled gently, with complete privacy, and with no judgment. We believe in the power of prayer to transform our hearts, to depend on one another, and to reach out to God and claim His promises.
