Emergency Prayer Request for Virginia Tech Students and Family

virginia tech school shootingSome of you may have heard already about the tragic school shootings at Virginia Tech that have left a large number of students dead and injured.

I was just laying on the bed with my wife rubbing her belly and thinking about the baby we’re having in a couple days. I then thought about the 30-some other couples doing the same thing around 20 years ago; waiting on the birth of their child. Those children, now young men and women, are gone.

Please pray for all those on the Virginia Tech campus for

  • God’s healing touch on those directly impacted by the shootings
  • that the power of Jesus Christ may be revealed to help this community, and consolation of the families during this horrible time.
  • Christians in that community and on the campus itself will be strengthened to be channels of God’s love and peace.

I’m not precisely sure how prayer from others not involved with a situation plays into God’s plan, but I have faith in God’s word that it does. It’s tough sitting here in the middle chapters of the storybook of the human existence, watching evil ostensibly “winning the battle”. Fortunately there is the hope in that all those who believe on the name of Jesus Christ have a look into the future; we know how this story will end. I pray that God strengthens each of our faith to the point when we can rest assured that God is in control now and forever despite the dark days.

Thanks,

  15. Vincent,

    thanks for sharing and we’ll definitely pray for you. Since this is pretty anonymous, guess I can throw out these questions.

    Were you deemed to be at fault in this accident w/ the first child? Even if you weren’t it is very common for deep bitterness to develop between spouses over the untimely loss of a child in tragic circumstances.

    In most cases, marriage counseling would be the answer but since you are divorced… I’d be taking this one to a ministry that is strong in the Lord. You need wise counsel on this one. Of course take it to the Lord and pray for your ex like you never have before. If what you are saying is true, then this is some serious darkness.

    Fortunately nothing God is the light and in him there is no darkness. Stay close to him and the truth will be revealed. Pray for your child, too that she will escape this contention between you and your ex and will not be saddled with it in her relationships.

    be blessed

  16. Dear Brother/sister,

    My name is Samantha I am in urgent need of your prayers. . I request you to pray for the man who is my life for the past 13 years. His name is Selwyn. I have waited 13 years of my life for this man and today he says he does not want to marry me and he does not love me. He is 4 years younger to me and my parents have accepted us. But his parents have not yet accepted the relationship. He gives me hopes and lets me down so many times. How can he do this to me. Whenever my parents told him we cannot keep our daughter waiting we have to get her married he has told them no to do it and that he will surely marry me. Now he says he does not love me and does not want to marry me. I am so restless I cannot take this anymore. This has been going on for the past 6 years since I joined him here in the gulf in Bahrain. He was the one to bring me here. Off course he lives with his parents and I live all alone.

    I need your prayers. I am sure My Lord can change Selwyn’s mind and make him love me and make him to be the one to want to marry me. My lord cannot be so heartless. I need your prayers brother. My soul is restless.

    Please especially pray for This Girl NISHA WAHBI who I know and heard that she is trying to take Selwyn away from me and Selwyn spends a lot of time with her. I came to know that she even left her job and got a job in Selwyn’s office. Please pray for the Lord to bless her with another man and for her to leave my Selwyn alone. For Selwyn not to develop any feelings for her and if he has already feeling for Nisha for him to remove her from his heart and for Nisha if she has any feelings for Selwyn to just get rid of them. She is a Hindu.

    Also please pray for his Father Servio Dias and His mother Sylvia Dias who are telling him to leave me and get married to a girl of their choice

    I need your help I need you to pray for Jesus to whisper in my Selwyn’s ears for my Jesus to tell my Selwyn how unhappy and hurt I am for My Jesus to tell my Selwyn that I waited for him so many years.

    My parents are getting old and are very concerned about me. I cant bear to see them this way. Please brother maybe the Lord will listen to your prayers. Please brother please pray for my Selwyn to love me like the way he loved me before. Please pray for my Selwyn to want me. And also his parents who are totally against us to accept me in the family.

    I have Faith and have been waiting patiently and am not ready to give up. I know Selwyn and I will be united in Holy Matrimony very soon.

    Thank you and Praise God. Awaiting your earnest reply.

    Samantha Lazaro.
