No prayer request is too small for Him

No prayer request is too small

While I was talking with someone the other day, she mentioned something going on in her life. I asked if she’d prayed about it. She replied no, she didn’t think God was concerned about something like that…..she prays about the important things but not anything as small as this.

I could identify with this thinking, and at one time my thinking was….after all, God has a lot to do all the time!

Then one day I happened to be visiting a church. After the worship service the pastor asked if anyone would like to come up for prayer.

Several people did. Clearly some had physical ailments; others may have had financial, family, or work situations they were seeking God’s help in. One woman had a cold, and she went right up for prayer along with the others. The pastors and prayer team prayed for each person that came, including the woman with the sniffles.

————————————————————————-

No prayer request was too large, or too small.

There is nothing under the sun that is not important to God. All we have to do is look at our solar system, the starry universe, how a baby is perfectly put together before birth, the cell structure in our bodies, right down to a perfectly and intricately made bumble bee in a minutely detailed single flower.

He is most definitely and assuredly in details. And He is totally interested in the details of our lives. The Word of the Lord is truth, and it says that even the hairs of our head are numbered by God. He knows every single solitary detail about us. He IS interested and involved in our lives.

No prayer request is too small for Him. He already knows what is in our hearts and minds, and longs for us to come to Him, our Heavenly Father, to ask and to talk things over. Through the Holy Spirit, we can come to Him, trusting and believing.

What an awesome and amazing God we have, that HE would be interested in every detail concerning us. So “give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

How wonderful! We serve a God of details. That is good news.

  1. Please, support me in prayers for an urgent, difficult intention:

    For my complete reconciliation with my loved one, ex fiance NEBOJSA

    That Nebojsa DOES NOT GET INVOLVED INTO ANY NEW RELATIONSHIP, but that THAT HE BE DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH ME AND start CALLING ME, APOLOGIZE, that God with His QUICKENING SPIRIT work out peace between us, LEAD OUR FURTHER COMMUNICATION AND GIVE US WISDOM IN BEHAVIOUR TO EACH OTHER, COMPLETE RECONCILIATION and NEW BEGINNING!

    THAT GOD DESTROY ALL DEVILS AND WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST OUR RELATIONSHIP IN THE NAME OF JESUS ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, protect our love and future (that our relationship be stronger and successful one) and bring us to marriage as soon as possible!

    God gives promises, and I know He is FAITHFUL!

    I am sure when your prayers join mine will surely receive a miracle. I am praying with Faith and please help me in this.

    Thank you very much. God bless you. I pray for you. Praise the Lord for He hear prayers and answer on it.

  9. Recently, your site was conacted in regard to a man whose name is Bill, in concern regarding his relationship with Jesus Christ. I am writing to thank you for your prayers, and to ask that you please continue to pray with me for the salvation of a man named Bill, and for those in his family who don’t know Jesus, or how much He truly loves them. I am not in a position to witness to this man personally, but others have been contacted to this regard. Please ask the Lord to extend His spirit to facilitate and lead a conversational witness through anyone whom He may choose. Please ask God to extend His grace toward Bill, doing everything needed to chase him, overcome his pride, lift the veil from his eyes, bring conviction to his heart and show him his need for a Savior. Like us all, Bill has made some mistakes, and has unfortunately had some tragic things to happen in his life. I fear his heart has hardened. He and his family need knowledge about God’s love, His grace, His glory, His offer of forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and protection–especially now because at this time Bill needs release from addictive vulnerabilities, and is in danger of influence by unbelievers (who also need prayer) whose worldly beliefs stand in opposition to God’s word. Please ask the Lord to surround Bill with believers who can minister to him, and that He may use the challenges Bill has endured to further the kingdom and lead him to salvation; then, that others will see and also be pointed to Christ by what God does in Bill’s life. I thank you sincerely, for your prayers and time.

  15. Hi,

    I am working in A.C College of law, as a lecturer for the last two years. The college is managed and maintained by the Board of Andhra Evangelical Lutheran church, Guntur. And I got this job with great difficulty.

    Now, the management is misusing the funds and profits and saying that we have no funds to pay the salaries. In this manner for the last two years the management of this college is not paying salaries all the employees including myself. The Staff, Lectures of this college approached Court in this regard. The court replied that they have no authority to control the misusage of funds. Only court can say to pay the salaries as early as possible.

    It is therefore, the board of this college at the time of inspection paying more bribes to the inspectors and managing all the things, and consuming all the funds and profits, showing no Bank balance and there by not paying salaries to the employees of this college. As I am suffering a lot without salaries, please pray for this problem.

    Thanking you sir,
    Yours faithfully,
    G.KIRAN,

  16. Dear Brother/Sister,
    My children are studying in Qatar higher classes. Due to some reasons my husband cancelled his old company visa and entered Qatar with new company visa. Now he has applied for my children’s visa. Labour Department rejected it first time and they gave the appointment on 25/8/2010. When my husband went on 25/8/2010 , They said something in Arabic, my husband didn’t understand it , and again they gave the appointment on 1/9/2010. It is prolonging. My children are in classes 11 and 12. School reopens on 15/9/2010. I am also working in the same school where they studied. I don’t have any body father, mother , brother or sister to leave my children here. Their studies shouldnot be affected even one day and I also cannot go even oneday late. After the approval from labour department , we should wait to get the visa in hand for some more days to get from embassy . So it should not be delayed. They should approve it on 1/9/2010 so that my children can enter Qatar very soon and it will not affect their studies in Qatar in any way. Kindly pray for us to get the approval for visa on 1/9//2010 without any delay from the Labour Department. Again papers should be taken to Embassy. It should not be delayed there also . Before the reopening of the school 15/9/2010 me and my children should enter Qatar by the Grace of God. Kindly pray for us.
    After the entry, my children should go for medical and fingerprinting and we should apply for Residential permit for them. Everything should be done without any problem by the Grace of God.
