Request Prayer & #PrayItForward with TLP
(Tender-Loving Prayer)
Share prayer requests at the Prayer Pond—safe, secure, and always without judgment. Step into intercessory prayer when you #PrayItForward with Tender-Loving Prayer (TLP).
A similar thing happens when we pray. We are weak and do not know how to pray, so the Spirit steps in and articulates prayers for us with groaning too profound for words. (Romans 8:26)

PRAYER IS THE HEARTBEAT OF CHRONIC JOY
The Chronic Joy Prayer Pond is a safe place to request prayer – and #PrayItForward with Tender-Loving Prayer (TLP) is how you can lovingly pray for others. There could be no greater catchphrase for prayer than TLP. Prayer can move mountains and usher in miracles. Through prayer, we discover that God is good even when we aren’t healed, the pain doesn’t abate, our situations don’t change, our child remains a prodigal, or our loved one dies. God is good all the time!
“Jesus persisted in heartfelt, humble prayer while surrendering to God’s will over His own. If Jesus modeled this while on earth, especially before the most challenging trial of His life, how much more should we be praying, particularly during seasons of difficulty?” (Nicole Furno)
#PRAYITFORWARD WITH TLP
God calls us to pray humbly and compassionately, growing in selflessness as we learn to sacrifice our time and energy for one another. This is intercessory prayer, a calling to pray for those we know, those we don’t know, those we love, and those who speak against or mistreat us. (Luke 6:27)
TLP is as quick as a few keystrokes. Leave your request, then #PrayItForward for someone else. When you click the “I PRAYED FOR THIS” button, the requester (at their discretion) will receive an email saying, “Someone just prayed for you!” Receiving this message is the very best kind of TLP.
As soon as you leave your request, you will receive an email saying, “Your Prayer Request Has Been Received.” That email includes a link to let us know when your prayer has been answered or to remove your request from the Prayer Pond.
WHY CALL IT THE PRAYER POND?
Chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, or disability can deplete our spirits, causing us to feel purposeless, anxious, and alone. Sitting at the edge of a quiet pond, tossing a prayer into its depths, and watching the water ripple out toward the far shores is what happens when we request prayer and share praises. As a community of intercessory pray-ers, we lift one another before the Lord with TLP, blessing one precious life at a time.
How often do we hear, “Prayer is the least I can do,” when prayer is the absolute best we can do?
You are invited to share your prayer requests and praises related to chronic illness to our Prayer Pond using the form below. Once your note is received, we will share it according to your instructions. Feel free visit us often and share updates!

Please pray for me. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety, and also chronic pain. I've been told my condition is curable but I often lack hope and faith that it won't be like this forever especially lately. So I would like to ask for prayers that God will give me hope and faith that it is curable. Also, please pray for my mom as she has been dealing with her own chronic health issues and physical pain.

Pray for grandpa Roland please. He has been very anxious and panic-y today and refusing to eat. Pray for his healing and pray for me too as all of this is weighing heavy on me. Pray he would be able to sleep and get rest. Pray I could get rest and not be exhausted from lack of sleep or emotional heaviness.

After months and months of trying to get in with a pain specialist (one of many chronic issues I have) the Lord blessed me with an appointment for one, my first meeting with them is tomorrow (Wednesday July 10th, at 1:30pm) and I'm asking for prayer that it goes well, I can't keep going to the ER every other day for pain control. I know the Lord brought me to this doctor for a reason but any and all prayers are much appreciated

I come asking for prayers again for my husband, whose sobriety was short-lived. I know that if the Son sets him free, he will be free indeed. May Jesus draw him to himself and saving faith. And may I always respond in love and wisdom for His name sake.
Thank you so much for praying.
