Prayer request

These days (as well as the past few months) I am in great need of prayers, so if you could say a quick prayer for me again it could be so great. I really count in all of you, my family in Christ, for your prayers to our Lord.

Christ is Risen! God bless you!

Please pray for Russia and Jappan as they've just been hit with an 8.0 earthquake In the sea of Okhotsk Russia, just north of Japan. The earthquake could be felt as far west as Moscow, bad enough to warrant evacuation of major buildings. I have no clue about any casualties, but pray for those two nations as they are the most immediate at threat.

Hello dear,

We’ll all definitelly pray for Russia and Japan. Our brothers and sisters there need our prayers, so let’s send them a wave of prayers!

Thanks for informing us, Christ is Risen!

Please pray for me!

Christ is Risen! <3

If you could please keep me in your prayers tonight (or this morning/midday/afternoon - it depends on your country!) it could be really amazing. I know you all have your personal life and problems, but if you could spend some seconds to pray for me it could be so great!

In the past have witnessed how many miracles our prayers can do if we pray united, as one, so even a “Lord help and support this girl behind this blog” could be enough for me, not to mention how big help would be if you could pray a prayer rope/rosary for me. I need enlightment and support in order to face a difficult situation. If you could also ask the intercessions and support of Virgin Mary, St. Archangel Michael, St. Elizabeth the New Martyr, St. Phanourios, St. Xenia, St. Nektarios, Ss Constantine and Helen, Saint Raphael of Lesvos and all the Holy Apostles could be awesome.

Thank you in advance and God bless you!

Please pray for Fr. Michael!

A prayer request send by my friend rpeeze:

On Friday evening, my family was informed that another priest in our diocese, Fr. Michael Rosco was involved in a terrible car accident while he was leaving Johnstown, PA after a diocesan trustee meeting to return home to New Jersey. After swerving and bumping into another car while he was on the southbound side of Rt. 219, Fr. Michael’s car struck the barrier and flipped over. His car landed upside down on the northbound side of Rt. 219.

Fr. Michael is in stable condition, but has been in the ICU since being admitted to a hospital in the Johnstown area.

Some of the more specific details are still hazy, but at the very least Fr. Michael has a concussion (there’s a possibility that he had bleeding in his brain), a punctured lung, and multiple broken vertebrae. This morning he underwent a (successful) surgery to insert rods and screws into his back to stabilize his vertebrae. He is still in a lot of pain. Thankfully he is coherent, though he does not remember much about the accident, and is sometimes too overwhelmed with pain to speak.

His wife (my Godmother) has not left the hospital since driving out there right after hearing of the accident.

I would appreciate if your followers would keep Fr. Michael, Pani Susan, and their son Vlad Rosco in their prayers. Fr. Michael is 63, and is a loving and nurturing priest. 

Please pray for the safety of our Ecumenical Patriarch!

Please keep in your prayers Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, as according to the media, there was an alleged plot to be assassinated on May 29, the 560th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans.

Please everyone, pray for his safety! May God protect him!

Important prayer request

An Orthodox Christian friend just shared with me a prayer request, however I am not sure if he wants to stay anonymous, so I post it without mentioning his name. Please pray a lot, as miracles happen all the time…

I ask for prayers. I’m facing a difficult time right now. I am finding it exceedingly difficult to find a job, it’s left me without food, and without money for food. Through the Grace of God, a friend is moving me into his place, where I’ll have food and shelter, but I’m still gonna be stuck starving until then with no one able to help me. I’ve been praying to God for help, and he’s sending it to me, but I need some help immediately. Thank you! Χρήστος Ανεστι! Христос Воскрес! Christ is Risen!

I have no idea if this sounds ridiculous or self centerred, which I hope not but it's three AM in America at the moment, I was wondering if you could pray for me (Elleni) that I can become healthier. During the school year my health always deteriorates and it's been terrible this year. (I had pneumonia for two or thee months). But if you could please pray for mine and my family's health it would be much appreciated. I also will be sure to keep you and your family in my prayers.Efcharisto poli.

Hello my dear Elleni,

I will keep you, and your family in my prayers. I’ll pray that God will make you healthy again and He’ll help your family. Thanks in advance for your prayers for me.

God bless you, blessed Holy Week!

Holy Week will be very important to me this year…

Holy Week will be very important to me this year, for a number of reasons, as I am expecting some new important things in my life, and I’m so nervous about them. So please, from April 28 (Palm Sunday) to May 5 (Easter), keep me in your holy prayers this holy period.

I really count on your prayers guys! Please, please don’t forget me in your prayers, so everything will be fine, as always! <3

Prayer request

A good friend shared a prayer request with me. Please pray that everything will be okay with his family…

“My family is going through a very difficult time at the moment.

My father is seriously ill. He has been suffering for the last four years but is now in hospital and depressed and very sick.

My grandmother came out of hospital two months ago and is now bed bound.

I my mother is struggling to keep the family together and to provide for us all.

I am going back to University this week and will be unable to help my mum and Dad.

Could I ask you to pray for my family and especially my father. He is a good Orthodox Christian who cares for everyone. I really want him to get better soon as I know he is suffering allot.”

PLEASE pray for me. I have recently found out that I have a rare disfiguring disease that could be fatal. It is called Sarcoidosis and I have no insurance. I am more afraid of being blinded and disfigured by it than of the dying part!

Hello my friend,

I will keep you in my prayers, and I ask the followers of the blog to do the same. Put your trust in Him, as He’s our only hope and strength.

God bless you always.

Prayer request

“Could you please pray for two friends of mine who are kind of going through some rough times? Their names are Brett and Chris.”

Glory to God! (Updates about Olive’s prayer request)

“Hi there, it’s Olive here again. With tears of joy I thank you and your followers for your prayers. My family have come to an arrangement where I will have shared custody of my children and I have been offered a house that is closer to my family to enable us to do this. This all happened in half an hour out of nowhere, it is certainly a miracle! Thank you so much. With your prayers and by God’s grace my family is together again.”

Glory to God!

Urgent prayer request

Please, everyone, keep in your holy prayers Olive, that has an important prayer request:

“Hi there, I wanted to ask for a prayer request if that’s okay. My mother has my children and she is refusing to let me take them back or even see them. This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever been through in my whole life. Could you please mention me in your prayers and perhaps ask your followers to do the same? Thanks in advance, your friend Olive.”

Please pray…

A good friend of mine here on tumblr asks for our prayers. She’s a Christian (Catholic) girl. Please, stop for a moment and pray for her. Let’s send a wave of prayers to her… Christ always listens, as well as His Holy Mother, that is always ready to help us with her intercessions.

“I wanted to ask you to pray for me. Since the age of 14 i am dealing with depression and suicidal ideas. I can’t concentrate to pray, i have lost the heart and the pleasure to pray. I’m tired of asking for help. I don’t manage to pray anymore. Can you, please, pray for me and my faith?”

Please pray for Cyprus

You all have heard about the situation in Cyprus. Cyprus has a really special relationship with my country, Greece and we always support each other, as with Greek-Cypriots we have common history, language and of course, we are both parts of the Holy Orthodox family. So, please, from the bottom of my heart, I am asking you to pray for the people there, that despite their problems and their sadness, they will not lose their faith, they’ll continue trusting God and He’ll protect them from everything.
