Overview
This page contains the prayer list for this ministry, with requests coming from myself and the wider community of readers and their loved ones.
If you have something you wish to ask for prayer on, you can email me at steven@bibledocs.org, and I’ll add it to the list. You can also subsequently email me if you want to update something on the list (reports of God working, e.g.), or remove something from the list (perhaps it is no longer relevant).
I default to anonymizing things down to first names (for people I know well enough that I am pretty sure that they will be OK with such) or first initials (for people I don’t know as well, for people who I know prefer more privacy, or for any sensitive requests). If I “got it wrong” and used a first name when you’d prefer just an initial (or even full anonymity, as in “Pray for our brother’s son’s recovery from a car accident”), then please do not be shy in reaching out to me to tell me what you’d prefer. I apologize in advance if this ever happens.
I have organized the prayer list into various sections based on commonalities (although of course there is really no wrong way to pray as long we do it with the proper attitude).
