Request Prayer
How can we pray for you!
Pray for One Another
Requesting prayer is as quick as a few keystrokes, and it’s always safe, secure, and without judgment. You are not alone! Intercessory prayer is the foundation of our ministry. You are welcome here!
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)
How can we pray for you?
How often do we hear, “Prayer is the least I can do.” Actually, prayer is the very best thing we can do!
Chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability can cause us to feel overwhelmed, purposeless, anxious, depressed, and alone.
As a community of intercessory pray-ers, we can also lift one another before the Lord; it’s the very best thing we can do for each other.
Prayer is as quick as a few keystrokes, and it is safe, secure, and always without judgment.
When you request prayer and someone prays for you, they can click the “I PRAYED FOR THIS” button. Then, YOU will receive an email saying, “Someone just prayed for you!” Each time you are lifted in prayer, you may hear an email ding, each one a lovely encouragement!
You're invited to share your prayer requests and praises (related to chronic illness) 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 a mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, with special prayers for her husband and her daughter who provide full-time caregiving at home. May the presence of the Holy Spirit give them strength every day. "For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, and love, and self-control" (2 Tim. 1:7). Thank you, and may you also be blessed by God.

Six months ago, my wife Sharon asked me to move out because she didn't feel emotionally safe around me. Sharon is the love of my life, and I deeply desire for our marriage to be restored and renewed. Please pray that Jesus touches Sharon's heart with a desire to speak with me in person and work toward forgiveness for my transgressions. Pray she agrees to meet with me alongside a trusted pastor or a person she considers safe. Lord heal!

Please pray for my friend TMB, who needs healing from severe insomnia and the ability to travel back to the U.S. Please pray for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Also, please pray for the grace to receive that healing, and the courage and ability to do whatever he needs to do. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and already have significant complications. The medics aren’t getting on top of it and the meds I have been prescribed are ineffective. Please pray that God’s power will completely reverse the condition so that no treatment will be required. Thank you!

Please join me in offering prayers of gratitude for Pamela Piquette and Cindee Snider Re, the co-founders and directors of Chronic Joy. No one is paid at Chronic Joy, so Pamela and Cindee have provided their amazing supports on a shoestring with some volunteer help. While donations help, they have also financially supported Chronic Joy themselves. "Thanks be to God for the indescribable gift!" (2nd Cor. 9:15) to those of us with chronic illnesses who have benefited from this wonderful ministry.

Pilgrimage of the Heart - Labyrinths: Prayer in Motion
Labyrinths are rooted in the ancient practice of pilgrimage, the once-in-a-lifetime journey that early Christians made to walk in Jesus' footsteps. For those unable to travel to the holy land, labyrinths became a symbolic pilgrimage. Whether walked with feet or fingers, a labyrinth is a slow, quiet, and meditative invitation to pray for others, ask for forgiveness or healing, give thanks, praise God, or simply celebrate.
