Prayer can be the most incredible opportunity, or the most frustrating activity of our lives. The biggest difference between the two is our ability to wait. 

Do you have the ability to wait on God?

A good friend of mine, also named Paul, once told me these wise words: “Hey, Paul Marc, I’ve given God a new name.” I fell for the bait and asked, “What? You gave God a new name? What is it?” My friend replied, “Jehovah in the nick of time.” Although he was just kidding me, the point was well-taken. God’s timing is not my timing. Isaiah tells us, ““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8, NKJV)  

Psalms 40:1-2 tells us the story of King David when he had fallen into another tough situation: “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.” (Psalms 40:1-2, NKJV) David waited on God in prayer, and God answered him. He rescued him and pulled him out of depression.

Are you struggling with an insurmountable situation? Are you overwhelmed by confusion and despair? Cry out to God and wait for the answer; wait for His help. He hears your cry and will respond in His perfect timing. 

I’ll never forget the summer God answered me in the nick of time. Our school was just a few years old when the administration told me some challenging news. They were $100,000 short to get through the summer months. We prayed with all of our hearts, but there was still no supernatural supply. So I told our whole church about the problem one Sunday, and somebody placed a $100,000 dollar check in the offering that day. We didn’t know this lady and weren’t sure if the check would clear, but it did. God rescued our school in one day.

What is your biggest obstacle right now? Share it in prayer with God! Start knocking on the doors of heaven. Waiting on God is not a passive exercise of futility—it is an act of war and alliance with God. He will hear your cry.

We love you, and you’re a miracle.

        Lord, you know every aspect of Juan’s life and I commit his and his wife’s marriage to You. Lord, you said “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37) Thank You for hearing his heart’s cry. Lord You welcome us when we cry out to You in repentance and confession. Help him to know that You will never forsake him and grant him peace as he surrenders his life fully to you. In Jesus Name, Amen.

    I’d like to ask for prayer for My Parents. My mother is battling complications of diabetes and my Father is having digestive issues.

    I’d also like to ask for prayer regarding My younger brother and I’s relationship. We had a disagreement and have not talked since the beginning of this pandemic.

    Lastly, please pray for my sister in law and I. We work together and have been faced with alot of stress lately. The company we work for is making big changes and it has become quite overwhelming for us.

    Please pray for us. Thanks so much in advance and may God bless you.

  4. Austin Johnson on 02/10/2020 at 12:39 PM

    Need prayer for my broken wrist. About a month ago I fell off a 8 foot ladder and broke both my wrist and I’m the only income for our family of 6. I’m a industrial electrician and I travel for my job. God has a plan for us and Ge knows best for my family and I. Thank you all and God Bless. GOD IS GREAT!!!

    • BETTY FRITZKE on 08/10/2020 at 9:53 PM

      Father, You are the great physician and Lord, I come to You in agreement with Austin concerning his broken wrist(s). Right now he is helpless in doing his job. You Say in Psalm 50:14-15 “What I want from you is your true thanks; I want your promises fulfilled. I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give me glory.” Lord, I am so grateful for Your faithful promises for Your children. It is they that give me hope, and I pray that Austin and his family will experience divine intervention in his difficult situation. I ask this in Jesus’ Name, amen.

    I have struggled with Clinical Depression all my life. I recently started a new treatment developed by Technology called TMS therapy. Its a magnetic pulse that stimulates the receptors that haven’t worked since a young child to now start working on their own so I can eventually get off medication and live Depression free. I’m now 17 days into this new therapy and im already experiencing a difference in the way I feel. I pray this will end my Depression for good and with God’s healing. Thank you, Nadia Brundage

    Prayer request for my marriage to be restored!
    My wife, Becky and I are separated and have been for over a year and a half now. I asked her to think about starting counseling together but she stated that she feels she cannot live with me now knowing what she knows. Just to share, I had kept hidden some really bad sins from my past from 25 years ago, long before I met her but, I never shared them with her. That deception, along with my bad behavior towards her and the children has turned her heart hard towards me. I have been trying to change everything in my life for over the past year now. I have going to counseling weekly, I joined a men’s bible group which we meet daily in the mornings. I read God’s word every day and pray all throughout the day. I need prayer to stay on the correct path no matter what. Through opening up and exposing myself to my past sins, I have laid down any anger and I’m being honest in everything even when it is hard to do so. I am trying to be consistent, over time in everything to show Becky she can trust me. I ask that you pray God speaks his Holy Will to her. So that she does what God’s will is and NOT do her own will, which is of this world and divorce me. I ask you to pray that she is able to forgive me completely from her heart and trust me again. And somehow that God allows her release everything to him and be open to healing for her and us together. It seems she is surrounding herself who speak negativity to her about our marriage. I ask that he binds any and all negative talk from speaking to her at all, no matter the source, family and friends. Please pray for God to bring some strong spiritual people in her life for her directly. We need a miracle that ONLY God can provide! I also ask you to pray that God brings us his holy miracle to restore our marriage so we can use that miracle to glorify God, helping others and bring people to him. I see this trial as a way to transform me into the man God desires. I also see it as a way for him to work in my wife Becky’s life as well. She has always struggled with unforgiveness and judging others. Please pray for the strength we BOTH need to trust and listen to God completely in all things especially with our marriage! Thank you all, Anthony

Healing of there minds, bodies and souls, restoration of their marriage and freedom from depression, anxiety and any and all self condemnation of past sins. Let all these prayers be answered for the advancement of Your Kingdom and to give You glory.

You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow Lord and You do not sleep or slumber. You are our every parent help in times of trouble and You are close to the broken hearted. Thank you Jesus for hearing and answering these prayers and for You ending love for us. We love you Lord, Amen!
    My prayer request is for my adult children. One of them serves the Lord and I pray that Gods favor be upon her and her husband and children as they walk with Jesus. My other two have walked away but I know God has a mis is try for them because Satan attacks them in every way possible to keep them bound up in depression and alcohol abuse. Please pray that they turn back to Jesus and if they never really believed that their hearts be soften to receive Jesus and all the p,and that He has for them.

  22. Edan Ezekiel Contreras on 02/10/2020 at 8:46 PM

    I’m impatient, I’m scared of being full of rage and implementing it on my puppy. I bought a new house at 21, but I’m honestly terrified that I’m going to come overdue with my bills and utilities. I’m scared of not being with anyone socially and relationship wise. I need to get my priorities straight again. I need to take care of my puppy Bandit, and myself. I want God’s help. I need to stop being prideful and more humble. I need to love not hate. I’m sorry God.

    • Laura Picard on 02/10/2020 at 10:26 PM

      Please pray for a vehicle for me. I can do a lot of good with it. I have a pending lawsuit that will settle when the timing is right. That will solve tons of issues. I just don’t want to limit God’s glory in all situations. I just look for His goodness every day. Thank you and God bless

      • Nkechi Furlonge on 02/10/2020 at 11:07 PM

    Thank you so much for your ministry in these trying times. But we are commanded to be of good cheer, for Jesus has overcome the world and it’s troubles. Would you please life my oldest Sister Kimberly in prayer she received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma…she is the single mother of two outstanding young boys, she is in constant pain, she is a believe in Christ and knows the Lord gives not one iota more than we can bear, just praying for God to work a miracle. Also, if you could pray for two unsaved people in my life, co worker named Sherri, an old friend names Jennifer and my nephew Julian….praying for their salvation and to know Jesus as Lord and Savior soon! Amen and Thank you

  24. Teresita Mallari on 02/10/2020 at 11:45 PM

    God had called me to go to the Philippines to evangelize. I have a little money to start to build a building where we can get together. I need $10,000 more to complete the building. I read your story and a story Dr. David Jeremiah was similar.
    I believe that Our gracious God will also do the same as I pray earnestly. Please pray for my mission.
    Thank you. I will write you back when the good Lord answer my prayer. Thank you for being faithful to our God.

  25. Barbara on 07/10/2020 at 4:47 PM
