Hey everyone,
Can't make it to the prayer meeting?
Know someone how need prayer?
Want some prayer yourself?
We'll you've come to the right place! Post your prayers here and they will be included in the next prayer meeting (6:30pm before Dojo). I've split them up into months to make things easier. Also don't be afraid to post again. Often things need to be prayed about a few times.
Also if you have something quite personal you want to pray about, post anonymously (ie. don't log-in to post) if it makes you more comfortable.
Happy Praying!

everyone.. anyone!
I am desperate. I'm having severe relational problems that are affecting my future with the man I love. This problem has arisen because of a clash in judgment. We are fighting currently because I refuse to stop being friends with a boy who has done nothing wrong. He has known this boy longer than I but I'm good friends with him whereas my boyfriend has not liked him since Primary. This boy I am friends with does not like my boyfriend either but it doesn't affect our friendship. My boyfriend claims he is not happy with me because of this and says if he does not like this boy and it causes him unhappiness therefore I should not be friends with him. I see my future with my boyfriend in marriage... but this seems to be in the way since he is now threatening to break up with me because of it. There is no motive behind it other than a dislike for my friend (who has much integrity) This request is not only a plead for prayer but I need an answer quickly so if anyone has advice PLEASE respond to this. I am not supposed to talk directly about it at his wishes but I need so solve this soon, before we cannot salvage our future.

This post is in response to the anonymous post about the person with relationship complications.
Ok so here is my advice or wisdom on this matter a key sentence you wrote said this “This boy I am friends with does not like my boyfriend either but it doesn't affect our friendship” whereas in comparison your boyfriend “has not liked him since Primary” but he is clearly making this effect your relationship both with himself and with your good friend.
Your boyfriend says “he does not like this boy and it causes him unhappiness therefore I should not be friends with him” now to a certain extent that is correct if what you are doing is causing your boyfriend to be unhappy then you should look out for his feelings, but you need to ask him why is your friendship with your good friend specifically making him unhappy? From my understanding this could be a number of reasons he feels insecure, he thinks you might fall for this guy or start to like him, or he doesn’t like the idea that someone else is close to you. But these are purely my opinions you have to ask him to explain. Because I think the key to this is finding out why it makes him unhappy.
The strength in any relationship comes from communication with raw and unhesitant honesty. The worst thing that could happen is you two don’t talk this out between yourselves and then each of you starts depicting the situation by assumptions then it will get way out of hand.
As far as I see it you have the right to be friends with whom you want to be friends with, no one can tell you who you can and can’t be friends with unless the person your friends with has a negative influence on your morals/commitment to your relationship with your boyfriend. Another question to ask is do you have any feelings for your good friend if your answer is 100% no then express that truth to your partner. This is where trust in your relationship comes in he has to trust you are just friends, and you have to trust yourself that this guy won’t make you be unfaithful to your boyfriend (if that is or is not an issue). You said that you’re in the mindset that you can see yourself with this guy in the future (as in marriage) so i don’t think that will be an issue.
This is a perfect situation that will either weaken your relationship with each other, or bring you closer together which one is the case depends on how you two go about resolving this dilemma.
Make sure you don’t lose your temper when discussing this with him or else it will cloud your judgement, and probably make you say things you will regret, when you question him don’t do it with accusation or suggestive implication but as “wanting to understand where he is coming from”
That’s about all I can help you with until you ask him some of those questions. I’ll be praying for you two and hope it works out for the best

Hi this is a posting to anonymous,
Would be all happy to pray for you although may I strongly suggest that you find someone older who you can trust and talk to them about. It may not be something that your comfortable with doing at the moment (though no-one should ever be able to take away the freedom you have if you need support from somebody), and thats cool, but it may help if you can have someone really understand the situation you are in and give you some support - confidentially. It could be your mum, a small group leader, a friend, someone on the leadership team at church - but make sure it's someone you can trust. Thats a really tough issue there but remember to keep talking to God about it because no matter what he's got great things in store for you.
Peace.

Wow, you gotta love the power of prayer!
Everything has worked out and we have talked out our differences. Victor, it definitely brought us closer together. Thank you both for suggestions and thank you to all for prayer. I think we both realize now that these kind of conflicts just stem from insecurities. He is very protective but way back when I was praying for my future man, that is what I asked God for, and I got it. In the past I have not had anyone there always wanting to keep me safe so it is just an adjustment. We are more comfortable and in love than ever before, praise God! Everyday he seems more the man I have prayed for as a husband. Anyways, thank you guys, this forum really is a blessing and it give everyone peace of mind to have a great bunch of people out there to turn to.

Hi guys, I know there's no Dojo this week, but some prayer for this would really be appreciated.
A friend of a friend committed suicide over the weekend, and I'd like to ask for prayer for his family and friends, he was only 15. Also, one of my friends partially blames herself, a he had threatened to do this before.
So just prayer for peace and healing for his family and friends would be great.
