Prayer requests

Prayer at LW

Ever feel surrounded by confusion? Chaos? Challenges? Uncertainty? Wish you could locate a pocket of peace? Discover a sense of calm? Reflect on the possibility of faith? God is not indifferent to our lives. He moves toward us when our hearts hurt.
A psalmist describes it this way:

If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there;
if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath.
God cares.
And we care, too.

Do you need time to catch your breath? Please consider any (or all) of the following:
• Share a prayer request via the digital prayer wall.
• Step inside the building to observe the beauty of our prayer wall.*
• Sense the peace that envelopes the prayer room.
 
*Any time our building is open (please enter through door #7)

The Prayer Wall (onsite)

This work of art displays the collaborative efforts of world-renown York-based artists: Patrick Sells of Salvaging Creativity and Cliff Meyer of Rudy Art Glass. The design features custom-carved metal, hand-cut stained glass, and proprietary lighting. It is created for personal, interactive use. Simply write out your prayer need, roll it like a scroll, and place it in one of the small circles near the text you’re drawn to – such as “forgive us” or “lead us.” Talk with God about whatever is on your heart.

The Prayer Room (onsite)

A quiet, contemplative space, designed with various seating options and an assortment of art. Open for personal reflection any time our building is open. If you would like to pray with someone, simply ask the receptionist upon entry, or call our pastoral care team at 717.755.0089 x 103.

And on Sunday mornings a prayer team member is present from 9:00-9:45 am and 10:30-11:15 am (surrounding service times at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 am).

Please pray for my mother who had surgery recently and is having serious complications. They are unable to do any more surgery to fix the problem because it is too risky. We are asking for prayers for physical healing and her mental well-being!

My friend Todd  was admitted to the hospital while on a business trip to Orlando. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis. His kidneys were shutting down and he was put in an induced coma.

My daughter has not lived with me for almost 3 years, and has been homeless most of the time. She finally found New Life in Glen Rock to help her, but recently left the program with her 17 month old and pregnant with her 2nd baby. I’m very concerned about her well being. I’m asking for prayer that she returns to the program before her spot is filled and that they are willing to take her back.

UPDATES: My friend Chris had surgery that removed 90% of the cancer. Pray that radiation and chemo will get rid of the rest. Also, the shot my husband got in his back helped a bit. Hopefully, more relief will come in time. Thank you for your prayers.
