C3 Atlanta Family's prayer requests

Since we are a church family, and this site is bringing us together in a fresh way, I think it would be nice to create a place where we can share prayer requests with each other. So... if you would like to, you can post your requests here.

And if it is set upon your heart to pray for a request you see here, then let that person know you are praying for him or her. Prayer is powerful!

I love our church family!

Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Physical Therapy isn't too easy when your her age (actually any age ...); ▶ Reply to This

Your whole family is amazing, Derwin... ya'll gotta fight for your joy. I know you have been, so just keep fighting for that. I deal with anxiety too, not quite at the level of Teresa's, but enough to know how awful anxiety is. My anxiety is mostly due to having a hard time letting things go (negative comments from others, or awkward situations)...If you need anything, please call me, okay? for real. My number is 404.680.4463. Seriously, I would love to help if there is anything I can do. Hang in there, my friend. I know this has gone on for so long and you are probably getting weary... thankfully we are sons and daughters of a God who does not grow tired, who does not give up. So... let's cling to Him and ask for His power and perseverance. God sees your family, He loves your family, He is working in your hearts and has a place in His Kingdom for you all to realize your dreams in Him. You rock, Derwin!!; ▶ Reply to This

I work at a childcare center in Duluth called Bright Horizons. I work with the toddlers who are 16-24 months old. I love my job, and the company I work for is amazing. But, our daycare is struggling right now. The management has recently changed (for the better I think, but we're in that difficult transition time). And the attendance at the center is really low. We've been told if we lose 4 more kids our center will be in a lot of trouble. I don't know what that exactly means, but it doesn't sound good! My hours have been cut for a couple of weeks and I've been told that my hours will continue to be cut all throughout June and maybe longer.

Please pray for my center. Pray that families will be directed to our center and enroll! Pray that all of us teachers would be taken care of financially during this difficult time. Pray for the restoration of confidence and morale of the staff.

I've got bills to pay, and several of the items on my "dream sheet" require some $$.. so I am trusting God to supernaturally provide the resources that I need. He is a big God, so I am not despairing, but will admit I am feeling pretty stressed.

Thanks!!!; ▶ Reply to This

Judy's mother, whom she took care of the past 2 or 3 years, passed away recently and now Judy needs to find a job. They are on the verge of losing their house because they just don't have enough money coming in. They have a church family that is helping them out some, but they can only do so much. Please pray that Judy will find a good job soon. Thank you all so much.; ▶ Reply to This

Update from my last prayer request: I talked to my manager at the daycare, and let them know I can not afford to have my hours cut for a whole other month.. so they are working to try to get me more hours.

And a slightly new request: I have gone over my dream sheet (that we made at the women's conference) and I have decided to pray for a certain amount of money to help me reach those dreams. It's a pretty large chunk of money. I have no idea where that money will come from, but God is a big God, so I figure, why not ask and trust? So.. I am. Please help me pray for my financial blessing!!! My dreams are important to me, and I know reaching them will glorify God. Thanks, church!; ▶ Reply to This
