Topic

Father God,
I come before You because You are sovereign, holy, and everlasting. May Your name be glorified and lifted high in Caleb’s life. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in him, just as it is in heaven.
Lord, forgive Caleb where he has leaned on his own understanding and trusted himself more than You. Forgive him for the pull of the flesh and the desire to sin instead of fully surrendering. Teach him that true life comes from trusting You completely.
Father, I ask that You reign over Caleb’s heart, mind, and spirit. Open his eyes to see who You truly are. Breathe new life into him. Awaken his spirit for Your purpose. Protect him from the enemy and from every scheme set against him.
God, sanctify and purify his soul. Let his old, sinful nature die, and raise him into new life through Your Spirit. Give him grace where he is weak and mercy where he falls short. Strengthen him as he wrestles against principalities and spiritual battles—I see the fruit, Lord, and I trust You are working.
Break through every hardness in his mind, eyes, and heart that resists Your hand. Help him see Your work clearly and respond in obedience. Teach him to love discipline, to embrace consistency, and to grow through correction instead of resisting it.
Lord, guide him and train him in Your ways. Let him mature—putting away childish things—and give him courage to take responsibility, to respect authority, and to walk in truth. Place a lasting desire within him to change, not temporarily, but for the long run.
Holy Spirit, linger in his thoughts. Stir him to action. Empower him to choose growth, maturity, and obedience. Transform his life with lasting change and undeniable fruit, all for Your glory.
May Your Kingdom reign fully in Caleb’s life. May the values of Your holy name be seen through him—now and forever.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Please pray in agreement with me: Heavenly Father,We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up my brother Mike. Lord, You see the shackles of addiction that have bound him—sexual immorality, adultery,crack cocaine, weed, alcohol, and pills. We ask for a supernatural breakthrough, that the power of the Holy Spirit will break every chain of addiction in his life. We pray for conviction in his heart, that he will recognize his need for help and surrender his will to You. “If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free.” — John 8:36. Lord, we pray that You guide Mike toward the help he needs—detox and treatment—and that You protect his mind and body during this process. We ask You to remove the desire for these substances from his life. We lift up Edna his mother and Brandy his girlfriend not his wife to You. Lord, give them the wisdom, courage, and strength to stop enabling Mike’s addiction. We pray they would no longer bear a load that is not theirs to carry, but instead, allow Mike to face the consequences of his actions so he can seek true recovery. “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” — 1 Timothy 5:8 (Help them to provide true help, not destruction). Father, please give Edna and Brandy the strength to set firm boundaries, and to love Mike by encouraging him to get help rather than enabling the behavior that is destroying him. Surround all of them with Your protection and guidance, leading them away from darkness and toward the light of recovery. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13 We declare a total breakthrough, healing, and restoration for this family, in Jesus Christ name amen.

Prayers sent for Mike, Edna and Brandy in agreement with your prayer, Angela. 🙏

Seeking a Spiritual Guide

May it be so, Carol. If you are looking for a contemplative spiritual director who also practices Centering Prayer, I keep of list of people I come across with these qualifications. You can email me at pamela@coutreach.org if this appeals to you.

Before I started my holiday, I received a message from God: “What am I looking for?” Just as in the past, Jesus asked two disciples what they were looking for. I thought this was a message God wanted me to reflect on during my recent holiday. It’s been five days, and I’m still thinking about it. What am I looking for? For love? For my dream? For an unfulfilled mission? Or do I need to go back to the purity of my heart, the start of my Christian life, which is my calling? I always think about my calling when I believe in God. For now, I seem lost, again and again… Please pray for me. I hope I can find the “answer”. What am I looking for? Thank you for taking the time to pray for me. It means a lot to me.

Praying for you, Tiffany. May God answer your question and give you the guidance, discernment and peace you need. 🙏

• The unity of Christians, in honour of the Week of Prayer dedicated to this intention.

We are a community of French-speaking contemplatives and members of Contemplative Outreach. During our meetings, we share prayer intentions, and we would like to reach out to the Contemplative Outreach Prayer Forum to support these intentions. In turn, we will, of course, include in our prayers those who have requested support on the Prayer Forum.
United in prayer and with every good wish,
• Prayer Intentions:

• Éléonore, 11 years old, the only daughter of Aude, who recently died of cancer.

• Sarina, a young Iranian woman studying in Hungary near the Ukrainian border, who has had no news from her family in Iran.

• Serge, who has been asked to speak at a memorial ceremony for Yves, a former colleague who has just passed away. May he be inspired to find the right words, as a Christian, in front of former colleagues, many of whom—like Yves—are agnostic.

• Jacques, who had knee surgery a year and a half ago, and now suffers from erysipelas, preventing him from resuming his much-loved hiking. May he find patience and be lifted out of the discouragement he is currently experiencing.

• The monastic community of Lérins, which must elect a new abbot following the resignation of the one who had served for decades.

• Patricia, mother of five, whose son is in prison for a serious offence, two hours away from her home. She has no means of transportation to visit him. Claude will be taking her this Saturday—both will need support and strength.

• Gratitude for the new prayer group of seven people, formed in recent months. It brings together those who had been praying alone for years and others newer to the path—all drawn by a deep thirst for shared prayer and support.

• A brother from Bernard’s community, who has decided to leave monastic life after ten years . His departure comes will be a deep loss for Bernard and the whole community.

• The parents of the young people who died on New Year’s Eve in the Crans-Montana fire.

• Nicole, who has just been diagnosed with three cancers at once. May she find the courage to face this overwhelming challenge.

• Camille, who is struggling after a separation and a move. She feels stuck and discouraged in her studies and doubts her ability to continue. May she find the strength to get through these trials.

• Philippe, who died recently of an aggressive cancer, and especially his partner Sophie, who remains stunned by the suddenness of his passing.

• The Christians of Nigeria, who are facing a systematic campaign of extermination.

• All of us, caught in this civilizational and technological transition, which brings much fear and confusion, making it difficult to know where truth lies. May we hold fast to hope and trust in the action of the Holy Spirit.

Praying over each intention of the French-speaking community. 🙏

Please pray that I can stop lying. I am a Christian but somewhere lying became part of me. It has caused me to be in the wilderness and that is such a scary place. Thank you!

Praying for you, Lori. May God deliver you from all evil, give you peace as well as the strength and courage to walk with Him in truth, love and light. In the name of Jesus. Amen. 🙏

Dear God, Leaf Tremback, of Sharbot Lake, Ontario, says military doctors failed to properly treat him for Lyme disease. He says he contracted the disease, pray an earth healing prayer to heal his disease and lift his spirits and a miracle is needed, pray with me 2 Chronicles 7:14, Jeremiah 17:14 (“Heal me, O Lord…”), and passages on light like John 12:46 (Jesus as light) and Isaiah 60:1 (“Arise, shine, for your light has come”) health through prayer, key Bible verses focus on God’s healing word (Psalms 107:20), Jesus’ touch (Luke 4:40), faith moving mountains (Matthew 17:20), and divine restoration (Jeremiah 17:14, Psalm 30:2,including Luke 1:37 (“For nothing will be impossible with God”), Mark 9:23 (“Anything is possible if a person believes”), and Ephesians 3:20 (God does immeasurably more than we ask), alongside powerful Psalms like Psalm 77:14 (“You are the God who performs miracles”) and healing scriptures like Isaiah 53:5 (“by His wounds you are healed”) and Jeremiah 17:14 (“Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed”).

Praying for the full recovery of Mr. Tremback right now. 🙏

This prayer request came through the CO website:

“I belong to a centering prayer group locally, so we meet on zoom weekly but I do know most of the people . It has been beneficial to me. But I have great concerns about my daughter and her life situation. There needs to be help for her that is beyond my ability to give. I wish I could communicate with someone because the concerns for her are multi-faceted. At any rate, could prayers for help be given to Cathryn, my daughter and her partner Dylan, who is struggling deeply with depression. Peace and thank you. Ellie Ross”
