You can't get God against anyone, simply put, unless it is the Devil or a being from Hell, and this is just my guess, as no one on Earth knows how God thinks.\n\nHowever, why not try reciting the following prayers:\n\n"Hail Mary"\n\nHail Mary, full of grace.\nOur Lord is with thee.\nBlessed art thou among women,\nand blessed is the fruit of thy womb,\nJesus.\nHoly Mary, Mother of God,\npray for us sinners,\nnow and at the hour of our death.\nAmen. \n\nThen try saying:\n\n"Our Father"\n\nOur Father, Who art in heaven\nHallowed be Thy Name;\nThy kingdom come,\nThy will be done,\non earth as it is in heaven.\nGive us this day our daily bread,\nand forgive us our trespasses,\nas we forgive those who trespass against us;\nand lead us not into temptation,\nbut deliver us from evil. Amen. \n\nThen, try saying something down-to-earth like, (or in your own words):\n\n"Dear God, there is this person who always gets me in trouble at my school.  I don't know what to do.  I've tried everything, and I figured that you could help me out.  (he/she) is getting so annoying lately, and I'm just wondering if you can please just do something to make it all stop."\n\nTalk to him.  Don't formally say a prayer after the Hail Mary and Our Father, be casual, as if you're talking to a friend.  He will then fix this in whatever way is the best way that this problem can be fixed.

God answers prayers. He loves his creation, and cares for them so much. We can pray for help with a certain problem, and he may answer our prayer...but what if it seems our prayer doesn't get answered?\n\nWe have to be open to the thought that God might answer our prayer in a different way than we thought.\n\nPaul dealt with a 'thorn in the flesh' his whole life. He prayed to have it removed, but that never happened. God DID help Paul to deal with his problem. God has perfect wisdom, so he knows best when it comes to our problems. Sometimes, our problems may not go away, and we have to endure through them. But as you will see if you look up the scriptures below, the right attitude can help us deal with whatever trials we may have to deal with while we patiently wait on God.\nRomans 5:3-5\nJames 1:2-4\nHebrews 12:11\n*1 Corinthians 10:13

The prayer's so powerful. You just have to have faith when you pray. Our prayer's always heard by God. He never forgotten nor ignore us. Things just don't happen right away. God let things to happen according to His plans and not according to our own will. Sometimes, you'll be surprised cuz He'll give you better and bigger than what you've asked for.

Yeah, my brother is in a crappy marriage.  He used to be so happy, now he's always down.  He doesn't attend church anymore, yet still believes.  He needs to return to Christ to answer his problems.  Pray that he realizes that\n\n\nAnd this to "CHIPPY" who posted before me.  HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE OTHER'S PRAYERS!!! WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE?  You need to seek Christ.  Why do you point out the spec in your brother's eye and ignore the PLANK coming out of yours?

Gosh! It has nothing to do with that. This is the third time someone has asked that question. Just pray for Goodness sake! Pray naked if you want to, just as long as your sincere in your heart just pray, standing, sitting, hats on or off, it doesn't matter! I prayed while I was sitting on the toilet once and God still answered the pray. He isn't worried about all of our crazy thinking! And I am a christian, but I'm frustrated with all of this religious stuff! No wonder people don't want to come to church, they think the church is CONFUSED!

I can tell you that after 8 months of persistent prayer and seeking God's will he moved a mammoth of a mountain.  If you pray and seek His will in your life, aren't afraid to ask Him for the desires of your heart and ask with caution, clarity and selflessness... your prayers will be answered.\n\nI know this first hand.... we were having a conflict with an adoption agency, a private agency that had custody of two little girls we fell in love with. well, the adoption agency decided they wanted to place the girls with someonelse after we had built strong bonds. this agency refused to even talk to us, were adamant about the change and would not even submit to their state mandated policy of a fair hearing or right to grievance procedures. they even went against a judges recommendation and took the girls from us.\n\nwe prayed and prayed. we went biblically to the agency and the agency refused to listen to us.  eventually the agency said we had to say goodbye forever to our little girls. they told our little girls this as well. but God told me to not listen to the world.... keep your eyes and ears focused on me and I will lead you through this journey... and what a journey it was. It went to places I was uncomfortable... but God was there with me every step of the way... even when i had to go to the legislature and senators to get help! God led the way and eventually brought my little girls back whom we have formally adopted now! you can't imagine the resistance and journey it was to get where we are today... but GOD IS BIGGER! GOD IS FAITHFUL and loving! pray to him and he will guide you and help you with any problem of any size!

Yes. I have a very difficult time forgiving myself for many of my shameful actions, even though I've asked the Lord for forgiveness. In fact, some of the things that I regret I still ask forgiveness for, many years later. I know I don't need to, but I just feel so incredibly terrible about those things. I want so badly to be the person that God wants me to be. I want to have Christ-like qualities. It is so hard for me to understand why I can't get there! I struggle almost everyday with self control (especially control over my tongue). I would give pretty much anything to consistently maintain my self control, and yet I can't without God's help. I have found that if I forget to pray before I go to sleep (and thus forget to sincerely ask the Lord to allow His Holy Spirit to be with me every second of the following day to help me with self-control), I have a very hard time the next day. If I do ask, it's so much easier - I mean VASTLY different. I don't know why it seems as though God wants me to request help every night, but I'm sure He has a reason. Probably to get me to rely on Him more. That would be a good reason. When I lose my self-control and yell at my little ones, I feel so much remorse. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so my 4 and 2 year old are the ones who try my patience.  :o)  That is to be expected, and is not their fault (sometimes it is, but not usually)! I want to be a calm and predictable mommy, but it's very hard for me. That's all I have to say, as I am tired now and need sleep.  :o)

Consider yourself prayed for.   This will be a first for me, praying for someone using their screen-name, but that's all you gave me.   \n\nI'll have you in my prayers.  Feel free to email me if you want.

I suggest the school counciler or maybe someone in your church. The best thing that could happen would be if they did tell. What if this same person has moved on to another child now? And you can be the one to help that child. God Bless you and have mercy for what some jackass has put you through.

Pray! Prayer is very powerful. It may help to read "Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie Omartian. It helped me big time.\nThe Lord can do the impossible. \n\nJames 4:8\nDraw near to God and He will draw near to you.\n\nPhil 4:6-7\n\n6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (NLT)\n\nGod Bless!

I have found that the answer to our prayer is a lot closer that you think. You can not pimp God. He is sovereign. He will answer your prayer. Maybe you feel like he's not answering you 'cause your focus is on the answer and not him. When you put your focus totally on him and continue to live a life that is pleasing to him, your answer will be sitting at your feet. Focus on God and getting all the mess people can't see like envy, anger, hate, jealousy, covetousness, and the list goes on. We are all a work in progress, but when we take the time to build our relationship with him, instead of asking or "praying" for things, all our desire will be met. Now don't get me wrong, pray.... ask God for what you want and need. Just be prepared and ready to accept ,if he say not now or NO! You are not crazy or confused; life and death are in the power of the tongue. You are Godly person seeking Godly wisdom. Focus on you and everything will have changed because you have..............When what's important to God becomes important to you then what's important to you becomes important to God!=) tRust God even when he feels far away because you know he is always there never to leave you nor forskae you....BE Blessed

Unless this is a private school, you shouldn't say any prayer.  That's liable to get you fired.  If it is a private school, then nevermind.\n\nWait.... are you a student or teacher???  Judging from some of your other questions, I'm guessing now that you are a student.  Maybe you should pass this information on to your teacher.

This morning, I heard a powerful lesson on having faith.  For you, and Irina's loved ones, I pray that you all get and keep faith.  Faith that are God is possible of doing any and all things!  That He will lift and annoint Irina and all of her medical care providers with the Blood of Jesus.  I also pray that whatever Irina condition is, our Lord begin this very second healing her body so that surgery is no longer necessary.  I pray that strength comes to her family and friends.  In Jesus's name!!\n\nBe Blessed!

Oh my sis... Hugs to my sis in the Lord.  I can't imagine how tough it must be.  But girl our Lord is STRONG and He is walkin with you every step of the way... And he's with your family too...  Sometimes the Lord chooses to heal us so that Everyone can see such awesome Proof of His power.  But sometimes... we well endure much so that those around us can see how our Faith sustains.  Look at Joni Eareckson Tada She's been a quadrapoligic for what 30 years... and people can look at her and say Look at the joy she has look at the love she shares despite what she has to deal with everyday.   You can be a WITNESS to how God heals the SPIRIT.... Let Him use you to be a lamp Shining bright.  I don't know if I understand all you have to go through or what your family is going through.  Just make sure that you KNOW and your family Knows... that God is going to give you  Healing no matter what.  Either you'll be healed of this illness and beable to testify to it for years to come... or you'll testify of the peace the Lord gives beyond understand you and HEAL you completely and bring you home... Too many forget that death for a christian isn't God letting you down... it's God giving the Best and COMPLETE healing and being present with the Lord alone could give.  As much as it breaks our hearts when the Lord brings someone home we can rejoice for them.  I'm gonna post you a few scripture addresses so you can look them up...or this email will take you a month to read.  God bless you sister... even by just this... short note from you I can see the Holy Spirit in you and I know He will tell you what to do with your family.  I know he will comfort you and them and hold you all in comfort and peace.  You are in my prayers.   you lil sis in HIM  -- jen

My prayer is that God, the creator of all things seen and unseen, will give you aid, comfort, and healing.  I pray that you would be open to asking for his help, and that you would trust in his answer (which may not be audible, or even understood for some time).  I pray that you would not be decieved by Satan, and that he would be caused to flee from your presence.\n\nIf you feel you can trust that the God who put you together, can heal you, and has a plan for your life, and are willing to submit yourself to him, I would ask that you find a church that takes God very seriously, submit yourself to the Elders of that church, and request that they anoint you for healing.  If they are faithful, they will hear you, they may ask you some probing questions, but they will surely, at the very least, pray.\n\nAgain, God may not answer you right away, or in the way you expect, but he holds you and will not everlasting harm come to you if you are one of his own.\n\nIf I may recommend a church... look for a PCA church [Presbyterian Church IN America. I do not recommend PCUSA].\nI will lift you up in prayer!
