Prayer – time spent talking with God – is a vital part of GUMC. Some of the ways this is evident are
- The prayer chain: the church maintains a prayer chain of members who, when notified, will lift up specific prayer needs of whoever requests.
- Praying for each other: prayer needs are listed weekly in the bulletin and shared during a time of “Joys and Concerns” during both worship services.
- Prayer room: a room is set apart just for prayer. This room is open to anyone whenever the church is open. Prayer requests can be left there at any time.
- Prayer for outside groups that use the church building: Outside groups have been specifically invited to share prayer requests with us. These groups, and any specific requests, are regularly prayed for by a group of people that pray during all Parish Outreach Center hours.

My back pain is so bad I feel like I’m going to die. I am crippled and in a wheelchair. I have two slipped discs and a kundalini spirit wrapped around my spine. I am in sin and sex. I need a boyfriend or a husband. I want a family and kids. I also have a bad urinary tract infection, kidney, bladder, bowel infection and prolapsed bowel. I’m so sick. Please pray for the family in staying with who’s son was murdered. They are devastated. It’s the worst thing to happen to anyone. They are full of grief and fear and anger and the parents spilt up. The other son is so angry all the time. They all do yoga. The parents can’t get up. The Police did nothing. I fear it might happen to someone in my family. I don’t think D will ever forgive me for what I did. I repent. My tongue is always blaspheming. I have breast cancer and terrible pain in my left breast. I can’t feel my nipple and my whole breast is numb and I have hardened tissue lumps. Who or what is causing it? I don’t want cancer or a mastectomy. I’m so tired and I need to sleep.
I am asking for prayer regarding an unspoken request – God knows. Please pray for abundant redeeming grace – grace upon grace. Pray for restoration, God’s justice and mercy, and healing of heart, mind, body and soul. Pray shame, weakness and disgrace be replaced with strength, dignity and honor. Pray strongholds against God be torn down and for God’s authority, kindness, and zeal. Pray for the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and repentance where repentance is needed – for humble, soft, prayerful, worshipful hearts that seek God first. We need so much repentance. We need so much grace. We need to know God is SO GOOD. Pray to pray in the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray for more workers for the harvest, and that Jesus would be king over us and come and heal our land. Pray for the salvation of lost family, friends and loved ones. Pray for discernment, wisdom and understanding for our leaders and their advisors. Pray our leaders would be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit of God. Pray for freedom, deliverance, and restoration. Pray all of God’s blessings and promises would come to pass and to walk in obedience to God, with God, in faith, in hope, in peace, and in love.
Prayer request: I would like prayer that the Lord help me find a godly wife. I have been divorced and despite my best efforts have not found the right one. But I know that Jesus can redeem this area of my life. Easily! The Word says that “it is not good for man to be alone” (Gen 2:18). I have been praying for this for a long time. I know that the more people that get behind something in prayer the more powerful it becomes. And so I present my prayer request. Thanks
I want to win an Oscar. I can’t act or sing and I want to. I want to be skinny. Please pray for R’s migraines and his dropping things, Alzheimer’s and his show and business. Please pray he can have kids and he wants kids. He is amazing and kind but his sperm is infertile. He and his company and friends need to renounce Yoga and accept Christ. Please pray they do and get a revelation and a download of the whole Bible and how to behave. Please give them wisdom re money
I need a job so urgently. I need a husband and. A baby. And some friends. I’m on dating apps and want to get off them. I need help with my money, dating and men and eating disorders I went and bought $30 of snack junk sugar and icecream and chocolate food and I am lying on my bed eating it all and I feel sick. I’m depressed about a guy. I keep spending all this money on food. My flat is so itchy. And my bed. I can see fleas flying around everywhere. I want to cancel my gym membership as it causes me so much anxiety. I am literally so itchy on my bed and in my flat I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t want to go to the gym anymore and I can’t afford it anyway. I’m really super depressed about a guy who hasn’t called me after a date last night. I think he isn’t interested. I really need God to bring me a husband and a baby as I am so depressed about it. I can’t stop binge eating. And I need money. Please pray for his business to go well as he is stressed about it. He has lots of women as he is in a high powered role so there is no reason why he would pick me. I have started drinking alcohol a lot because he does and all men here do so I drink on the date with them.
I can’t sleep as my boyfriend is snoring so loudly and we both drank too much alcohol . He keeps forcing me to have unprotected sex. I am scared and I have class tomorrow and it is 2am here. He went on a date with someone else last night and in the supermarket he touched another woman’s butt and pinched it.
