Request Tender-Loving Prayer (TLP) & #PrayItForward

Request Tender-Loving Prayer (TLP) at the Prayer Pond—safe, secure, and always without judgment. Step into intercessory prayer when you #PrayItForward.

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 illnessmental illnesschronic 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?

I prayed for this

Prayed for 54 times.

Brian Snyders

For the last 18+ years, I’ve been dealing with debilitating nerves pain my left leg. It’s ruined my life. On Friday, I visited with the top neurologist at the Mayo Clinic who basically told me that there was nothing that could be done and that the pain would continue for rest of my life. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated.

God bless.
