Instead of giving another sermon I wanted to ask you something. I just want to know if there is anything I can be praying about for you. This isn't a joke topic. I am serious. I want to know what you need prayer for and I will pray with you on it.
Since this is serious I only ask you be serious too. Please know that I will not consider any requests that are not serious.
What can I pray over with you today?

Oh wait, my uber-religious grandma already tried that.
Despite the sarcastic tone I will pray for this. But not in a way you may expect since God will prompt your parents to stop but He will leave the choice to them. Just as He prompts us to come to Him but leaves the choice in our hands.
Father, I come before you on behalf of Rallard and his parents. I thank you for a loving grandmother who prays for her children and I join with her in prayer. You have seen the situation in the lives of these people and know the pain it can cause. I know that you will not force them to obea you. I also know that you have the power to nudge them in the right direction. Lord I ask that you would create a hunger in the whole families lives for you and that you would work on the hearts of these people.
Father, help them to see the hurt this has caused and help them to turn from their ways. Also help Rallard to feel your peace and give him strength as he is forced to see this. Your plans have always been of peace and yet you will not do so in a dictator way. You are kind to us and allow us to come willingly to you. Thank you for working in the lives of these people. In the name of Jesus I pray.
Rallard, I am going to check back in with you soon. For now know that God has someone in your life who is praying for you and your family in an effort to bring your case before God.

Father, thank you for giving me the chance to see others who would call out for prayer like Jamie. It is only your goodness that causes people to even ask. You are kind to us and I just pray Lord that you would just be close to Jamie. Father knock on the heart of Jamie and show Jamie your kindness. Let peace flow into this persons life and cause a swell of love to overtake Jamie. You cared for Jamie before the world was formed and you knew the pains of life and the certainty of death that would come. You came and cried for Jamie as you walked to calvary knowing you would take his shame so that he could stand before the only God who is holy and that he would not be ashamed but filled with joy before you.
I ask that you turn his heart to you and that you cause him to seek you. In Jesus name I pray.
Jamie, if there is anything you need prayer over directly (maybe a hurt or need) let me know.
Pray for my mercy,to end this negativity,for me to bless upon you the sanctum of my rule,for me to forgive your blasphemy against the ruler...for the darkness of my shadow to overcome and heal you forever more

You know, part of this is up to you. Your going to have to use what God gives you (your mind).
Father, Thank you for giving us a mind to use and for the ability to learn and do well in study. We often do not use what you have given us to our full ability. I know I too am guilty of that. I just pray that you would help this student to find renewed strength in his mind and the stamina to study. Father give this student a willingness to do well in school. I pray you would turn this students mind to you and let the heart find the understanding of the work you have done. In Jesus name.
Remember, it is up to you to use what God gives you. For those wondering who I pray to I would have thought the words "In Jesus name" would show it. I am praying to the one and only God who was willing to allow Himself to die for us and then be raised from the dead.

Has anyone ever told you to shut the fuck up and stop preaching your Christian bullshit in an environment that's not essentially predominantly Christian? There are lots of Atheists, Agnostics, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists around too, you know.
I might have a great lesser amount of contept for Christians if they'd simply keep to themselves like rational idealists.

I now treat all this "God loves you" crap as propaganda. I used to Roman Catholic, but then I thought it wasn't worth a damn. Nothing good has happened. So, I converted to athiest-agnostism.
this is in no way telling the original topic poster that being religious sucks.

Father, it is in your mercy and kindness that allows prayers to be made for others. I never would have thought I would be here praying for the people on newgrounds and yet your love has sent me to deliver your kindness. This has shown me your love for those here that you would send someone into the midst of a group of people who hate you and ask that person to pray for them.
Father you know the desire to pass the final exams of this person. You can offer wisdom to those who ask for it. I ask that you would only help this person to learn. Father you told us to study and that is what this person must do, but the ability to retain the knowledge comes from you. Help this person to gain the ability to pass their test and help their heart to have a hunger to know you. You have given so much to us already and yet many of us do not thank you or even know you to thank you. Father help this person to know and thank you.
And for those here who feel alone I pray they would find the company of you. I pray they would seek out you who is the only one who will never leave them. Even before they know you...you care enough to see each step they take and to give them breath. Father stir their hearts to know you. In Jesus name.

btw, looksgood will you pray for me?
Father I come before you now to lift this person up. They requested prayer knowing it is you I speak with. Surely this person knows you are God. All of us know it even if we try to drown the thought out. Father I pray the heart and mind of this person would be transformed into a heart that desires only you and a pure mind full of your truth. Father let this person understand your ways. Grant to them true wisdom which begins with the respect to God. In Jesus name.
um... dude... looksgood, i respect you and all but this is a very very VERY bad place for prayer requests. Most of the NG bbs users are 1. Not religous and 2. complete assholes. but if you are aware of this then continue on. I also would like for you to pray that I wont fail the 8th grade. Thank you for this.

Believe me I know about the people here and what most believe as well as how they act. It doesn't change anything though. I would hope that SOMEONE would see that God does care for them through this act of reaching out in the middle of this group of people. Believe it or not I have seen lives changed on NG due to the influence of those who are christian here.
Father, I ask you to help this person gain wisdom and knowledge. School is only one part of life and what we do there helps shapes us into who we will be. I pray you would put a willingness into this persons life to learn the things taught in school but even more to learn the things of you. Lord help this person to do well in school and to pass the 8th grade. You give knowledge to those who seek it and I just ask you would give this person a willingness to seek not only knowledge but you. In Jesus name.
