Lord Jesus we thank you for the plans you have for your creation, and we praise you for you are the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
We ask Lord Jesus that You help TorchHeart forgive himself, to experientially know that in repentance of his actions You have separated his sins as far as the East is from the West, and to grant him the ability to see others as You see them, and love them as you love them - with compassion and a desire to be uplifting, edifying, and encouraging to others, to the purpose that through interacting with him they are thereby drawn closer in their relationship to You Lord Jesus.
We ask Lord that You give TorchHeart emotional, spiritual, and relational healing in all of his interactions with his friends and family, brothers and sisters in Christ, and non-believers as well. Allow your Holy Spirit to help him in his weakness, interceding for him with groanings too deep for words according to Your will.
We ask these petitions based on the promises of your Holy Word, that they be done in the power of your Holy Spirit, in your good will and timing, and to the Glory of your Kingdom. In Jesus name ... amen.

I am going to put my trust in you, Lord. I pray that you will look past my sins, as you always do, and you will help me with this.
Praying that you will know that God does not just look past our sins, but that once we confess them to Him and receive forgivess, they don't exist any more. We don't have to cleanse ourselves, He wipes them away and makes us white as snow and blameless before Him. Praying that you will know the cleansing sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit in your life, making you more like Jesus. And praying that you will know, and I mean really know deep down in his heart, just how much God loves you.
May you know the peace of God that passes all understanding.

Lord, I finally feel as though no one cares about this. Least of all, you. However, down in my heart, I feel as though something is coming near, and there will be some kind of breakthru for me. Lord, I pray that it is not what I fear, but what I hope for.
I'm a wreck, God. I am a terrible person and a terrible sinner. But please, I pray to you. Hear my prayers on this matter and help me.

Father God,
Thank You for loving Your creation, and for providing us with Jesus, that we be able to even think about sharing eternity with You. Thank You for sharing Your Holy Spirit with us, that we can cry out to You and You hear us. Such love is a thing of awe to us, we fall down, forgetting who we are in Your sight, and You are there beside us when we would try to rise up again. Blessed be Your name.
Thank You for the forums of the Faith Community Network, that allow me to encourage, pray for, and be ministered to by other members here. It's not an easy thing- to accomplish all this while sitting at a keyboard. Gracious Lord, I pray for TorchHeart in the coming days, as he may have a reunion with a dear friend soon. I don't know the entire situation he's facing. I don't know what was said that he deeply regrets. I don't know what hopes he presently has as far as a resolution in his life. He's in the position of waiting, and I know that this is a very challenging thing to do. Help him to realize that You are ready to wait with him, Lord, that You are ready and willing to take the whole situation and hold it for as long as he can part with it. Help him know that there's no strategy involved with meetings after major disagreements... that such things like that will happen and just go as they go- that trying to play a game of if-then when it happens will only make him look like he doesn't know what to say, that he has done just the opposite of what he has already been doing, which is to dwell on it all for countless hours and try to learn to be more of who he would be and be of the appearance of being so changed from who he has been in the past. Help him to draw closer in his friendships he has with others, Lord- that he just be in the position of being able to be comfortable talking about things and exchanging views and ideas with others, no stammering, stuttering, or being afraid to share strongly his views about things that he is convicted about. Help him to relax.
I pray this in the Name above all others, Jesus- God's Son, my Savior,
Amen

(((((((TorchHeart)))))))))
My heart is breaking for you now as I am reading your posts. I also know what it's like to deal with rejection and to feel like it is all my fault. I want you to know that you are NOT a terrible person. You seem like such a humble person and God says that if we humble ourselves before Him (like you have been doing), then God will exalt us at the right time. Please know that God loves you. You are so precious to Him! Yes, you were a terrible sinner, as we all were, but remember that He already paid the price for our sins. He redeemed us and made us holy. We are now His children. We are free from all condemnation! He forgives all our sins and remembers them no more.
Lord, I feel such a burden for TorchHeart now. I pray You would give him a fresh revelation of your love for him. Help him to forgive himself. Lord I pray for strength for him. I ask that you would fill him with your presence. Protect him from the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Lord, You came that we may have life. Draw him close to You Lord, and encourage him. Fill him with perfect love, Lord, that casts out all fear so that he will not fear rejection. I pray that You would heal his relationship with Lara and use this to draw them closer to each other and closer to You. Bless him abundantly, Lord. Thank You Jesus for hearing our prayers.
in Jesus name,
amen

(((TorchHeart))) Bless your heart...you have a lot of humility and love. God will honor such a heartfelt prayer for Lara's good. And don't worry God has already forgiven you for whatever it is that you've asked his and Lara's forgiveness for.
Lord please help this friendship to go in whatever direction you have for it. Bless Lara and TorchHeart individually and please apply the balm of your love and forgiveness towards one another and themselves. Thank you for recognizing that we are not perfect and loving us anyways; I pray you bring some good into this difficult situation and work it all together for each of their good. In Jesus name amen.

My friend as I sit here and read so many of your prayers for others, you are not a
horrible person. We all sin every day, and ME!! So, that would make us all horrible.
God loves us all very much, and when you come to him as you already have and
ask for forgiveness, then he has already forgiven you..
AND, of course we care about you and what you are going through!! I know I do.
We are not perfect and never will be, so when we mess up, as long as we go to
God for forgiveness then you are should not feel that you are a terrible person.
It's ok that we mess up because God knows that we will, but he loves us and wants
to see his children happy.
I am praying for you!!!

God, thank you for letting Lara finally forgive me for what has happened between us. Now, I pray only that you will help me to mend this relationship back up to where it was. Keep me in control of myself so that I do not become a pest or do hurtful things like that again. Please let me be able to reach her heart like I used to be able to, and please remind her that I do care about her, despite how I was in the recent past. I feel like this is so close to something finally happening. Help me be patient with you, and respectful of you and her no matter what happens.
Thank you to all who have prayed for me.

God, its almost September. I'm so confused and hurt over this whole situation, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm all but convinced that you either do not hear my prayers on this matter, or that you simply will not attend to them. My faith in you tells me that the former is not true; my heart pleads that the latter is not either.
My faith in you has been shakey, at best, lately. I apologize for that, profusely.
But for all that has gone wrong between Lara and I, despite all that I have done to offend you as of late, I plead that you will hear this prayer that I've been sending up to you since June.

TorchHeart, please know that I have been praying for you daily. It's OK that you are so confused right now. God understands our confusion and it does not bother Him at all. We serve a God who is approachable, one we can go to whether we are upset and angry with Him or if we just want to cry to Him. He understands us and know us better than we know ourselves.
God does hear our prayers, please don't let satan make you think otherwise. In Romans (can't remember the verse), it says that the Holy Spirit is interceding for us with groans that words cannot express. Sometimes God works in ways we do not expect and sometimes not as quickly as we would like, but He is working. We just have to trust in Him and His timing. I hope this encourages you in some way.
Lord, I lift my friend, TorchHeart, up to You now. There are so many unanswered questions that he has now and I pray You would give him some answers. Give him peace about what is happening and clear up his doubt and confusion. Help him to walk in victory and let him know how much You care and love him. Lord I pray You would make his relationship with Lara stronger and I pray You would draw them closer to each other and to You. Lord, bring peace into their relationship. Bless them Lord.
in Jesus name,
amen
