† Saved by Grace † discussion

If you have any prayer requests for yourself or a loved one or just anybody you know, please let us know and we'd love to pray for you!

One prayer request I have is for my grandmother: she has cancer, and I'd love if you guys would please pray that it would go away completely (I think some of it has left or at least it's not as bad), but most importantly please pray that if she is mistaken about her salvation that she would truly turn to God. Thanks :)

Hm.... here is one I'm transferring from Christian school to Public school and I know only four people only one of them is in two of my classes and I don't excatly like him so pray for me to do well and to have a few friends.

I certainly will!!!!!!!

I'm going through a rough time in my life. If you guys could pray for me it would be greatly appreciated. Just pray for guidance. That's what I need more than anything right now.

I'll pray for everyone!!!!!!!

So will I!

Thanks. It's very much appreciated, although things have taken a turn for the worst recently.

I'll be praying for you too, David!

Hey everybody. I could really use some prayer for an awkward situation at school (I miss homeschool so much sometimes!). To sum it up: I am casual friends with a guy, N., and a girl, A. They both struck me as very nice people when I first met them -- they are friendly, good students and actually behave in class (a bit rare sometimes :-P). A couple of days ago N., who used to be A's boyfriend, said something to A. that really offended her. She told me a little about it (I don't know the details and don't want to) and I was, understandably, sorry for her, although I was very surprised as they seemed to get along well with each other. N. got a talking-to from the vice principal of the school, and A. doesn't speak to him any more. The bad thing about it is that they (at least A.) don't want to make up with each other. A. now constantly makes N. sound bad to all her friends and completely ignores his existance -- or worse. I'm not particular friends with N., but I don't think she's treating him right to stay angry at him and not give him a second chance (not necessarily as her friend, but just as a person!), and it's really awkward for me to have to listen to all this stuff and still act friendly to N. (because, unlike A., I don't want to make him a social outcast...that would just make things worse). I want to be friends with both of them like I was before and it's sad and difficult to be in a situation like this. Right now I have just resolved to treat them like I did before, although now that I know they've both done mean things it's going to be harder than it was. :-( Please pray for me; this is one part of school I'm not enjoying. If you have any suggestions or verses, I'd welcome that, too. Thanks so much! :-)

Wow, sounds like you're stuck in the middle :( I'll pray for you and your friends too!

All I can suggest is that you just keep being outgoing to both of them - keep showing them Christ's love - while at the same trying to witness. But you already knew that x)

Hope it gets worked out! God bless.

Thanks, Raven! You always have such a good perspective.

And would you mind praying for my misunderstandings with Douglas here on goodreads (I think I sent you a message about them), too?

Any time ;) And thanks ;)

I haven't actually read the message yet, but I'll go do that now! And I certainly will pray!

I'll pray for your situation as well.

Hey guys, most of you - maybe everyone here - knows who Lindsay is. But if you don't, then I'll just tell you she's an atheist who joined Christian Support Group awhile ago, purely to irritate us until she got deleted. Anyway, I ran into her in another group - and I can't really share the link since it's a secret group and non-members can't see the discussions. But here is part of our conversation:

Lindsay:
Nope, but I've never seen god answer a prayer, either.

me:

Did you look? Haha sounds like a dumb question, but I mean, I could say that restaurants never serve food because I don't listen to the orders or look for the food…

Lindsay:
No, trust me. I've listened as hard as I could. I was going through this stage a couple months ago where I was totally confused about religion. Before I had reached that phase, I was a total and complete christian. Probably even more so then you are now. But when I started hearing about all the scientific things that have been proven about the universe, there just didn't seem to be any place for a magic man in that picture.
I started out thinking that I was being stupid and that I would go to hell if I continued this thought process, but then I just couldn't help taking a closer look at how much there is no room for a being like god in our existence. So I started praying as hard as I could every night until I was so exhausted I couldn't stay awake anymore. I listened as hard as I could, but nothing ever happened. I never heard god's voice.
So in the end I saw that there really was no sense the the idea of god, and now I find myself much happier than I ever was as a christian with that knowledge.

I also got a lot of my ideas from this group:

So please pray for Lindsay. This could be any of us without God. :(

Oh, and any ideas about how to respond to her message would be great.

I will pray! :-(

I'll be praying too, Sandy ;)

Update on my earlier request...I am happy to report that my awkward situation appears to have resolved...thanks for the prayers, everybody! A. and N. are "friends again" (the way A. put it LOL) and both of them are still friends with me. God is good -- even for silly little things like high school quarrels. :-P I hope this doesn't happen again, though.

Oh good! :)

Ditto ;)

I firmly believe - no matter how much they deny it and claim to believe otherwise - that they are truly searching.

You can't be that antagonistic if you don't on some level know that you're wrong.

If they really believed they were right, they wouldn't be trying so hard to make us look like idiots. If anyone comes across Nathan's page(I didn't look at the others), he's in(unless he was kicked out) all these Christian groups trying to stir up trouble and really show everyone how wrong they are. To me, that says he's defensive and trying to find justification. And trying to find someone who can prove him wrong.

Same for Lindsay. And she is just plain confused.
(Haven't had any contact with G4B)

All we can do is pray that God gets through to them. He's the only one who can. Prov. 21:1

so true..

I am a "friend" of G4b you should se our conversation.

lol, I'm tempted, but those conversations leave me exhausted - like trying to nail jello to a tree - completely pointless....
And I really need to work on not arguing so much (right, Sandy???) LOL

lol yea but im not really interested im gonna blow when i see what she has to say. It'll be worse than the Japan tsunami if shes not careful...WHY R U HER FRIEND? TO HELP HER cuz thats a good idea...if u can get through to her!

Ya, she asked how I was doing, getting there...

i checked it out...i cannot believe that group is trying to write a new bible. thats just sick.

Will anyone please pray for me? I'm at a point in my life where the only person that I feel loves me is God. And trust me, that's enough. But I want more than that. I want a life with social and emotional development. I need that. It's just I feel so misunderstood as a growing teen, and I want to share my views with mt family, but they won't understand. They never will. They also will never understand how much I love God. So please pray. I need all the help I can get. I've hit rock bottom...
