1. Pray for me to be blessed with new year - 2007.

2. Pray for me to reach in a good position in Bahrain.

3. Pray for me to get the driving license.

4. To live according to the words of Jesus.

5. I want to get the power of holy spirit.

6. I am looking for a god fearing girl to marry. Pray for me to get the right one at the right time who working in Bahrain.

Firstly, I Thank God for the gift of prayer warriors such as you across the globe who are interceding and praying for such a much needed cause.

I seek your aid in praying for a group of 20-30 teens led by their their 10 odd adult leaders (yours truly counted among them), into a bible study session on purity this Saturday here in Malaysia (Oct 28) at 8pm-10pm at our local parish. We pray for God's Spirit to convict and convert our hearts to seek to live an increasingly pure and holy life- pleasing and acceptable to Him. We ask His spirit to bind all evil that will stand in the way of allowing our flesh from doing so.

As I pray the rosary, I dedicate each decade to a special intention.

First- to those who promote an environment of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Second - to those who suffer from addictions.

Third - to the families of those struggling against addiction.

Fourth - to those who help: counselors, sponsors, spiritual advisors, friends, etc.

Fifth - for those who have died not realizing the saving and healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1.Please pray for God to open the right door for me very soon where I will grow and shine, there is no growth in the current job and I earn very less compared to the experience and expertise that I have. The people who are against me are doing their best to stop me from getting the recognition that I deserve. I must leave this job respectfully by August this year. Amen

2. I'm battling with obesity for over 6yrs now I worked out for a year now but haven't lost much weight in fact I've gained back more than what I lost I need to lose 15kgs and be healed completely from hypertension. So I finally enrolled with a slimming center and paid a fortune for that but all of a sudden my feet are swelling up. I desperately need to loose weight please pray that the devil doesn't cripple me. God should help me to follow the diet and reach my target by July. Amen

I too have terrible problems but I am on my way out of the cycle (and it is still very difficult avoiding the problems). But I feel very strongly that God has called me to answer this particular prayer! Why now? why so late? I don't know, but Jesus is so definitely real, holding me up on desperate request, kept me from prison for my crimes, and guiding me to a totally new life. You are not as alone as you may think Milton. You have yourself, you have your inner-most desires to escape the bonds, you have the church, you have Jesus' teachings and words, the Holy Spirit to aid you, and most importantly God. With God on your side who can be against you!!!! You can't even be against yourself. But He wants you to also help yourself.

First try & escape your situation (your environment).

2nd flee from all sources of temptation, Internet, TV, video's, mags etc - don't go near them or where they exit (except at work).

3rd Pray pray pray - even at the prayer of the weakest Christian --"THE DEVIL TREMBLES"--.

You are a winner in Christ and I Will see you in heaven and we will all laugh at the stupidity of it all.

I am a man whose family owned porno shops. I grew up sneaking a look at their porno they had in their room and became very addicted to it for about 17 years or so. I was completely captivated by women and would masturbate several times a day many weeks. While I was thrilled by women I was also afraid of them for I had very little self confidence. At the time porno seemed like my comfort, my absolute pleasure.  It was a hellish escape for the Devil is the Father of Lies. I had no idea what I was opening myself up to and am still dealing with the effects to this day.

I have since converted to Catholicism and am now answering the call to be a priest.

I am at times still haunted by images of a pornographic nature and sometimes have perverse thoughts which bring on some amounts of shame. I have not looked at porno for about 2 or 3 years and have not masturbated for about that long too. I have abstained from sex for 12 years or so by the grace of God! I am much better ( thanks be to God) then I was but I want to be completely healed and delivered from this evil.

Some call pornography adult material, but a healthy adult has confidence and respect for his or her sexuality and for God's creation. Praise God for you and your ministry and may our Lord's healing hand be on those who sincerely seek His truth and Spirit.

How close to God would you struggle to be, were you not so sorely afflicted?

But with tears in my eyes I have to ask you my loving Jesus why are You so far off, as a passive onlooker…I want to be with You but why is there no effort from You to recognize me…I’ve fallen to the nadir of even not wanting to pray …don’t You realize O! my loving Jesus that I am in the throes of falling away even further…even at the risk of losing me, would You still be still…don’t You see me struggle… don’t You see me struggle not to give in to the thought of You enjoying to see me struggle. Grappling to put the thought into the mouth of the Devil in difference to my experience getting bruised thereby, thereby my struggle to be with You Dear Jesus not to go the way of my experience…not to go the way of my experience…wearing thin by the bruises…by the bruises…oh! Father Jesus where are you?...Please help me Jesus of my Self…
