In April and June I asked for prayer for the filing of past due taxes. These are now filed and appear fine. Praise God.

To my complete SHOCK last night I received a letter from the IRS for an even earlier return saying I owe them an ENORMOUS amount. It cannot be correct. I pray that this problem disappears as quick as it came to my attention. I have no records remaining from the time, but believe I filed (through an accountant - the old one who could not find the files) and paid the due amount. Please pray this goes away and I am in good standing with the IRS. If it continues, it will be a big drain on finances, time and probably legal costs to fight. L.

I would first like to say "Thank you Jesus for your continuous blessings". It has been quite a transforming month. I had been spiritually dead for almost 15 years and while it seems like a long time, I know that anything the God has for me, I am ready to do. I have wasted alot of time simply because I did not realize that I had cut God out of my life. I was living in sin, smoking cigarrettes, having casual sex, and was often depressed. I did not know then that the longing and the emptiness that I felt was a result of the separation from God. I tried all sorts of things which were only acting as diversions and while they temporarily numbed the pain that I was feeling, it did not last. I recommitted my life to Jesus and things have been changing in a major way. I took a vow of celibacy even though I was dating someone at that time, and for a while things were challenging because he continued to try and pressure me to have sex, assuming I would crack under the pressure. But, thank God, I did not. I realize that these diversions were distractions and I also realized that I had put all my faith in other people. So, when I had a problem, I would not be still, I did just the opposite and tried to control my situation. Many bad choices were a result of that. No one can do me like Jesus, no one can love me like him, no one can provide for me like he can. I read some literature which stated that you realize that you are not in God's will or have created a hindrance when he asks you to do something and you don't do it. That sort of blocks you from being able to hear anything else he has to tell you. I started thinking about that and for as long as I can remember, I have tried to do things my way with horrible results. I left my hometown four years ago after I had a child out of wedlock. To make a long story short, I was 29 years old and had been dating someone but I did not see him as "husband" material. We were intimate and I got pregnant. My mom suggested I move to Maryland to enter a program which would allow me to earn my Masters and in turn I would teach. I thought it was crazy because I had just had my son who was only 3 months. I was torn but even though I felt bad about the decision, I made the choice to do it because I felt like I needed to be able to financial take care of my son, with or without the father's help. I felt that he would not be reliable because while out on maternity leave, I asked for money for my son and his father replied, "I can't, I have a cell phone bill and a gym membership to pay for." Needless to say, I panicked. But I stayed in Baltimore for three years and I was miserable the entire time because for the first year, my son was still in Ohio with my mom. She then sold her house and they both moved to MD with me. As a teacher, I did not fill fulfilled because although I have been teaching for nine years, I am not passionate about it. The students I teach are resistant to learning alot of the time, and they have many issues and hurdles which can hinder their ability to want to learn. I was mother, counselor, motivator, teacher and disciplinarian and it became too much. I prayed for eight years that God would help me to find another job which would be rewarding and give me a sense of satisfaction at the end of the day. I recently discovered that most of these prayers were probably not heard because I was not living right, myself. I prayed recently about the situation and I felt like God was telling me to return to Cleveland to make things right with my son's father. I am asking for prayer because I want to be clear and still when I hear the Lord speak to me. I pray for continued knowledge, wisdom, and understanding so that I am sure it is God speaking to me and not someone else. Perhaps he is trying to lead me to a different place and a different job or career. I want to continue to be patient and pray for patience. The guy that I'm dating, communicated to me yesterday that he is glad that I have found Christ and he thinks it's a beautiful thing. He does not want to corrupt me but he feels he has lost his faith. I had prayed and asked that if he was not for me, that he would be removed from my life and perhaps this is the answer. I thank Jesus for this because I realize now that he may not come right when you want him to, but he is always on time. In the same way, perhaps the answer to other issues will be revealed in due time. I am so excited about this new journey and want to do all that I can to fulfill whatever purpose God has for my life because I know, you can't go wrong with God in your life!!!! Hallelujah, thank you Jesus! I ask that Jesus would reveal to me what my spiritual gifts are so that I know the best way to try and help and serve others. I believe that prayer works and that if I knock the door will be opened and the message will be revealed to me. Thank you Jesus for the joy and the pain and I ask these things in your name, Amen.

I would first like to give thanks for the prayer request that I sent out yesterday. I want to send out a prayer for a bit of an unusual living arrangement. I am 34, single parent of a 5 year old son, and I happen to live with my mom. The challenge is that my mom and I are not necessarily meant to live together. By this I mean that I realize that the moments in my life when I was not living with my mom, I was much more at peace, more relaxed, and even happier. She tends to have a negative attitude about many things and for a long time, this has impacted me, negatively. As I continue on my path to spiritual development, my heart tells me that it is time to cut the "strings" and move on, but I also just purchased my first home, two years ago. My mom paid for the closing costs as a "gift" but I now realize that the gift may have been a curse because it seems as if that issue is what she uses to try and manipulate me. She says that she has not moved on because she wants to make sure that I am financially able to maintain, but I wonder if there is more to it then that. She is retired, and she spends most of each day, in front of the TV watching CNN. She invades my privacy and acts as if I am still a child. She tries to tell me how to raise my son, and she can be downright nasty alot of the time. I don't want to be around that and I also don't want that for my son, as I want to raise him in a loving, peaceful environment. I was a victim of predatory lending and with an ARM set to go up next November, my heart is telling me to leave. I prayed on this situation and I am waiting patiently on God to answer my prayers and would like additional prayer on this matter.

I pray for my family, for their continued good health, and I pray and ask to be delivered from nicotine, cigarettes, and any other poisonous substances that I am ingesting in my body on a regular basis. I ask that my body, mind, and spirit, be cleansed and I ask that my family members also be delivered from toxins and poisons so that they are each able to live and function from a place of peace and joy.

I need prayer simply because I recently realized that the devil has been rampant in my life. I opened my eyes recently to the fact that most of the people who have been in my life were negative, out for something from me, whether to hurt me or to take advantage of me, or simply to steal my joy. I made a decision to remove any negativity that was present and prayed and asked God to take care of it. I then realize that the one person that I thought I could trust was also wicked. He had me doing everything I told myself that I would never do and somehow because I felt strongly connected to him on a spiritual level, I could not seem to break the tie. I realized today that God would not put anything negative in my life, actually the opposite he would do. I turned to him in prayer and asked that he would help with this situation and that he would help me to begin to live again, the way he wants me to live. I submit to God because I trust him for everything and I have faith that he will help me. So often I operated from an emotional standpoint and did not use my head and for that I ask for forgiveness. I want nothing but a close relationship with God and would like to be able to experience peace and love on a daily basis. I would also like to finally realize the mission that he has for me, here on earth, even if it means moving or relocating. I am a child of God and I want my life to be restored, my spirit to be renewed and I want to experience his love continually in my life. That is all I need! I also pray for a cousin who is ill with a kidney affliction. I ask that her body be healed in the name of God and that she be repaired both mentally, physically, and spiritually. Thank you!

Rev. Janice,

Please pray for me that I will not get another cold sore and I will stand on the healing scriptures you have in the Study Section.

I'm controlled by some kind of voodoo and black magic. I need God to save me, protect me and cleanse me. Please pray for me, thanks!

Please pray for Shirley Ann Chestnut who needs a miraculous healing from 4 medical operations on her knee during the past 9 months. Due to the surgeries, she has not been able to work and no longer receives a paycheck. I ask that you join me in prayer asking God to supply her needs and make a way for her to pay her rent and bills.
