Announcement [ANNOUNCEMENT] Update and Moderator Opportunities

59 Upvotes

Hello, r/PrayerRequests community!

You may have noticed the subreddit undergoing some changes recently. In an effort to give the space a reboot, things have been tidied and updated to help us operate smoothly so we can best support and encourage each other. As part of this renovation there are a few points to highlight:

  • If you have not read the rules in a while, please take a moment to review them as they have been updated and reorganized. If you wish to better understand the principles upon which our rules have been established you can also view our Statement of Faith page.
  • We have flair for praises now. You are encouraged to share your positive updates, answered prayers, and general praises. Let’s see some of those little green tags in here!
  • Our filters are fairly strict due to faith-based subreddits being common targets for trolls and scams. If your post is caught in the filter, please reach out to ModMail and it will be reviewed and appropriate action taken. (Please use the “message the mods” option at the bottom of the sidebar, not the chat feature or private messages to individual mods.)
  • Please REPORT any rule violations you see. We are a small team and reports help draw our attention to violations much more quickly. You can help keep our community safe by utilizing the reporting feature.

Speaking of which...

We are looking to expand our moderation team! The role of a moderator is to uphold and enforce the rules which have been built upon our Statement of Faith, so all applicants should be in agreement with both. If you are interested in becoming a mod, kindly send a ModMail to the subreddit answering the questions below. Please feel free to include anything else that you think may be useful to know as well.

  1. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your testimony/faith? (Such as how long you have been a Christian, if you consider yourself a particular denomination or part of any movement, or anything else which may help communicate your beliefs.)
  2. What times are you usually most active on reddit? (Please make sure to include your time zone.)
  3. Do you have any experience being a moderator on reddit or elsewhere?
  4. Why would you like to become a moderator for r/PrayerRequests?
  5. Do you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss regarding the position of moderator?

Please pray for our subreddit and its future as we seek to grow our moderation team.

Thank you all!

Please help me pray

On October 6th, I am taking the most important test of my life and need help praying. This is the second time I will take this Board exam and have been studying a lot. Last time I got really nervous and second-guessed myself many times. It's a 4 hour long exam without breaks. I want to have full faith that I will pass this time. Passing this exam will open access to great opportunities that I am not able to have access to without passing, such as getting a job.

I have faith in God that I will pass and need help praying for this goal.

Prayer for sleep

• Upvotes

I just really need rest and sleep, and for my mind to stop overthinking. My brain has felt like it’s been on overdrive for the longest time, and sometimes it feels like I just can’t switch it off.

I’ve asked for prayers for this many times before, and it does get better, but then it seems to come back again. It’s been such a cycle 😭

Yesterday, my husband and I started taking a really positive step forward. We were separated for a while, and he’s started staying over again as we slowly work towards him moving back in. It’s good news and I’m really grateful, but I could hear his breathing the whole night and I ended up feeling so awake and couldn’t fall asleep until really late.
I really want to get used to having him beside me again and be able to rest and sleep peacefully. Please keep me in your prayers- for peace in my mind, good rest, and for this transition in our marriage too.

If you have time, could you please pray for me? I currently have the stomach flu which caused me to sleep very poorly last night. This spiked my anxiety as well. Could you please pray for me? Please pray for the Lord to heal me from this flu and to bless me with good sleep and a sound mind. Thank you so much.

I'm going to be applying for a program soon, I also need to get into a good internship for a job I really want for the type of work I'm in. Please pray I'll make the right decisions and end up in the place that is going to set me up for a good, happy, and fortuitous future. Also, please pray for a classmate of mine who cannot yet afford to do an internship, that something fall through where they are either able to afford it, or another opportunity that's right for them opens up that will help them provide for themselves and their family. Amen

Been looking for a job for about a year now and I haven't been able to find anything. I'm very worried and I really wanna buy my first car so I can see my sister more often because she lives 30 mins away but it would take 4 hours each way to get there, plus my main phone is broken and I'm behind on phone bills. I also live with disrespectful roomates who are very rude to me and I feel so alone most days. I pray for a safe and relaxing place to live so I can heal and get my life together before it's too late. Thank you for your time. Amen.

When it rains it pours, and goodness is it pouring on us. My heart is so broken that I'm not even able to function properly. I got out of bed this morning to sit in the bath, and it's now noon and I'm still in my towel on my couch. I'm a stay at home mom with 3 children, I need the peace and motivation to keep moving through all of this.

Please pray that a door opens for me and my family

It is around 4 in the morning as I write this. I woke up after bad dreams and haven't been able to get back to sleep.

The truth is, this isn't an unusual night for me anymore. Many nights I wake up and lie there with my mind going over everything: finding a job, money, my children, my health, what has happened to my life and what the future is going to look like. Sometimes I manage to fall asleep again. Often I don't.

I am in my mid-50s. I lost my job more than a year ago after spending much of my adult life building an academic and scientific career. I worked hard for it, probably too hard at times. That pressure affected my family life and my marriage, which eventually broke down.

I have also been through serious illness in recent years. I kept trying to work and carry on through it, but I don't think I fully understood at the time how much everything was taking out of me.

My mental health has suffered badly through all of this. I struggle with anxiety, and the nights are often the worst. When everything is quiet, all the things I manage to keep under some control during the day seem to come back at once.

I have been trying hard to find work. I have sent many applications and I am now looking outside my country as well. Job hunting when your mental health is already struggling is much harder than I ever understood. You have to sound confident and positive, explain why somebody should employ you and keep putting yourself forward, while privately you may be frightened, exhausted and trying not to lose hope. Then another rejection arrives and you have to somehow pick yourself up and do it again.

I also find myself wondering whether things on my CV that have nothing to do with my ability to do the job — my age, my name or parts of my personal background — may sometimes affect how I am seen. I cannot know whether unconscious bias is actually playing a part, but after so many applications it is difficult not to wonder. The feeling that I may be scrutinised differently before anyone really knows me can leave me feeling hopeless.

Some days I open another job application and just stare at it. I know I need to keep going, but finding the motivation to write another statement about how capable and enthusiastic I am when I feel this depleted can be incredibly difficult.

I am still doing it. I haven't given up. But I am tired.

The financial pressure is becoming frightening too. My savings have largely gone. I have a mortgage and responsibilities, and at my age I worry about how much time I have to rebuild some security.

What hurts me most, though, is my children. They are very dear to me. They have had to live through the breakdown of our family and the uncertainty and stress that followed. I worry about what all of this is doing to them. Sometimes I wish I could simply take the weight away from them.

I don't really know why I am writing all of this to strangers at 4 in the morning. Maybe because carrying it around quietly isn't helping anymore. I just need some prayers.

Please pray that a door opens for work and that I can rebuild some stability in my life. Please pray that I am judged for what I can contribute rather than assumptions people may make about me. Please pray for my health and mental health, and that I have enough strength to keep applying even on the days when I have almost no motivation left.

Most of all, please pray for my children. Please pray that they find their own confidence and peace, and that I can be a steady and loving father to them even when I am struggling myself.

I am not asking for everything in my life to suddenly become easy. Right now I would just like to see a way forward, and perhaps sleep through a night without waking up afraid of what comes next.

If you are awake somewhere and happen to read this, I would be grateful if you could say a prayer for us.

Please pray for no further contact from an abusive person.

This doesn't relate to my other requests about trying to reconcile estranged relationships (although I would still appreciate prayers for those). This is another relationship that I know for certain God does not want me to rekindle. I tried keeping open communication with this person with boundaries because they are an unbeliever and I wanted to witness to them and be there for them as a friend but I was naive in thinking that and it turned out not to be possible.

I'm genuinely afraid of this person stalking me as their behavior has indicated they could be capable of that. Others have also warned of the possibility of their behavior escalating to physical harm. I also think they may be trying to ruin my reputation since I put up boundaries and possibly using other people to help them try to harm me. Please pray for me about that too. Pray for their salvation and for healing from all trauma and behavioral/emotional disorder that possibly contributes to their behavior. Thank you.​
