Daily Prayers, Intentions, & Beams!
I often reflect on what makes our community so extraordinary. It’s the way we listen, the way we relate, the way we care for one another, and accept one another where we’re at, struggles and all.
We are connected because we share the human experience. We find collective strength in one another and draw on that to not just survive, but thrive. Together, we're building a community where healing is possible, growth is inevitable, and hope is attainable.
This interconnectedness is how we combat loneliness and create ripples of positive change, one connection, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time.
Inspired by this shared connection and the incredible strength we find in one another, I have created this space for us to offer and receive support, pray for one anothers, set intentions for our community, and send positive energy to those in need. Think of this as our daily practice of collective care.
Whether you have a specific prayer request for support or want to share a positive affirmation, this is the place to do it.
Whether you're going through a personal crisis, facing health concerns, or other difficulties, you can ask for an empathetic ear, offer prayers, or just comforting words. If you'd like a specific kind of support, please do mention it with your share. You can say as much or as little as you like about your situation. (It can be as simple as "please pray for x", "please send me strength/blessings/vibes", "please keep me in your thoughts", "send beams" etc!)
Or you can set intentions for your day. (ex. I intend to be more mindful of my own emotional needs and practice self-care.)
If you have things that you want us to pray for and think about and send positive energy your way, let us know. (The community team is going to be engaged and following this closely in a more direct way, too. Many of you, like Glen, pray for our community daily or keep us in your thoughts!)
This is an invitation for us to surface and build on these activities to strengthen our shining city and further lift one another up.

I pray for my husband, whose health has been failing for some time. He had a procedure this morning that landed me having to call EMS, and now he is in the hospital, and they are trying to find out what went wrong. Pray for us as I am his caregiver, and please keep my body strong so I may do what needs to be done.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too selfish. And yet when I try to give of myself, I don't get anything good in return. Yes I know that I should give of myself without expecting anything in return. But Lord I don't have any friends, and my loneliness seems to take over my emotions. Therefor I feel empty. I don't know what to do about this. Am I sinning?
Dear Lord, I need to find me a new job. I know that you could empower me to do this all on my own. But for some reason you allowed me to have a learning disability. I have often wondered if you did this to keep me humble? Anyways I need to find help to help me do my resume, applications, and whatever else. Lord if you are not going to heal me of this learning disability then please provide me help.
In Jesus Name.
Amen
@tryingtosurvive2024 Amen 💖 God made you the way you are cause he knew you could handle it and excede beyond expectations💖 you have a friend in me 💖 don't give up ok? Hugs you tightly 💗 everything is gonna be ok 💖
@Tinywhisper11 I know you are my friend, and I love you. 💗 I pray online just like I pray in private. It is the only way I know how to be completely honest in front of God. I'm also being honest in front of you and everyone on 7cups. This is how my heart really is. 💗
@Heather225
Dear Father, Please show these doctors and nurses how and what to do for my husband. Help me not to feel like everything is dumped in my lap to handle and help me to remember that you are Lord and if you take care of a sparrow you will take care of all of us. I give thanks for your love and gratitude for your daily mercies that you renew daily. Please take care of us and our loved ones and for this place that we have here to connect with others that are hurting and misunderstood. Keep Mr. Glyn and this website as a source of healing and guidance for souls that are wandering loss and confused. A source of healing and comfort to all.
@WorkingitThrough2 Amen 💖
Dear Jesus,
I pray for everyone on 7cups. I ask that you will lead them into truth. Help them to find the support and healing they need to make it through life. Thank you for the friendships that people find here.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I am trying to build a profile for job at the ____. I can feel my blood pressure going up. I feel like i'm starting to panic, and I feel like throwing up. It's been a whole day process of making screenshots and printing them so that I can try to understand the instructions. I also setup an appointment with the local Vocational Rehab. I really could use a job coach about now. But I don't get a chance at that until May 23! I'm trying to settle down. Also I got someone on my mind and how they hurt me. I can't seem to be able to shed that, no matter how many times I've asked you to help me to do that. Please Lord help me to give that stuff over to you! I know that in my brain you got everything under control, but my body is reacting otherwise. I'm anxious and scared lord, and my parents yell at me every time I try to express my frustration with this job website. I feel sad too.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
@tryingtosurvive2024 Amen 💖
Hugs you tightly 💗 everything is gonna work out ok 💖
@Heather225
we normally not ask for prayer but am going too. we having bad flashbacks have been since the ice storm hit us. it bright up some hidden memories for us too. so we have been fighting running from others even them that care about us. it been in past what we do when we have more details of the abuse. it we think due to so beliefs about being a burden on others. also having to be strong and not ask for help. as them teachings from our dad that were very much deep teachings.
so please pray for us not to run and isolated from ones who care and for the understanding of the memories( flashbacks} to help us heal from them. as we learned one has to face the things in them before one can heal from the effects of them things
thank you all
@stormieandpaws says a prayer for you 💗 it's ok to pray for yourself, God loves you and we do too 💗 flashbacks are beyond terrifying🙁 we are all here for you 💗 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗
@Tinywhisper11
thank you we pray for self and others. but find it very hard to ask for prayer. we trying to ask more as we know prayer powerful too.
@stormieandpaws Dear Jesus, I ask that in your name, to be with this situation. Please help this person to heal from the past. In Jesus Name, Amen.
@tryingtosurvive2024 Amen 💖💖
@tryingtosurvive2024
thank you
Dear Jesus, my job search isn't going good for me. It seems to be too complicated for me, and I need help. I called vocational rehab but my appointment is next month. I don't understand why they got to make things so difficult. Even filling out applications is worse than a whole day process. If it wasn't for my parents I would just give up. Please I need a miracle. In Jesus Name. Amen.
@tryingtosurvive2024 Amen 💖
Please don't give up I know your struggling now, but you were extremely brave to leave your toxic job💖 have patients something will come your way 💖 hugs you tightly 💗
@Tinywhisper11 You are correct about it being toxic. Monday I got to go back for a visit. I have mixed feelings about that. I had something push me to get out. My new supervisor increased the workload, and it appeared that He wanted to push me out.
@tryingtosurvive2024 how come you have to go back for a visit?
@Tinywhisper11 It is a tradition, that whenever someone leaves the school that they give them a gift. Since I was their for over 20 years, they feel like I need to come back and get a going away gift. I know it sounds a bit strange, since I resigned. I almost turned it down, but my mum, told me that I should do it. My dad told me I shouldn't. (((shrugs)))
@tryingtosurvive2024 I wouldn't go personally, although a present is always nice💖
@Tinywhisper11 The principal, text messaged me, and I responded with yes. So I need to keep my word. But yeah I understand. I guess I'm just to nice.
@tryingtosurvive2024 you are definitely wayyyy to nice 💖
@Tinywhisper11 that is how you know that I have a sweet heart beating in my chest. right? 🤗
@tryingtosurvive2024
amen praying for you too
@Heather225

Dear Jesus,
I have a longing for a woman to be in my life. I suffer from a loneliness that I think only a woman could fill. Yet none of the women I knew in school was kind enough or even respectful enough of my faith. Then onto a 3 year Church, and people were kinda friendly but found nobody there either. Next came all the years I worked for a school. Ran into someone flirty, but behaved too weird for things to really happen. Then there were all the years of trying to find one online. You know how all that went, and how it was all a flop too. Yet lord the longing for this has never gone away. With my parents getting older and older, it might not be too many more years before they will be both gone, and I'll be really all alone! Since this has been on heart heavy again, I thought I'd ask you again, to please lead me to right one, just as I'm asking you to please lead me to the right job. So far the online stuff is still too complicated for me. Yet I met someone today, while job searching, that said that if they can do it anyone can. I don't understand what is wrong with me. I can build computers, I can install operating systems, and take care of them. I can do some small audio and video editing, and yet when it comes to these websites that have applications, they confuse me like crazy! Why did you make me like this? I don't get it. I feel sad and stupid. Please Help.
In Jesus Name.
Amen.
@tryingtosurvive2024
amen
