Prayers And Prayer Requests 

"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

Please see our "Prayer of the Month" below

For those trying to conceive, please visit our "Praying4aBaby"
Home Page - Where you will find  information on how to add your name to our prayer list, and how to participate in our "praying 4a baby" prayer group.

Also, for anyone interested in Catholic prayers, visit our Praying4aBaby site and find information and prayers to some of the Patron Saints For Motherhood and Fertility. We have included prayers to Saint Gerard Majella, Saint Anne the mother  of Mary, and to Saint Anthony of Padua. Also find information and prayers to the The Holy Infant of Prague.

For more general prayer and prayer request information please continue reading this page.

The power of prayer has long been known as a source of inner strength and spiritual help. We offer the Prayer Request for our members to post their prayers and/or requests so that others can pray with them and give support in times of spiritual need. As a part of the DayByDay Inspirations Bulletin Board, the Prayer Request gives people an opportunity to take part in group prayers and send their best wishes past the internet and into the lives of fellow members and visitors. As the DayByDay Inspirations community grows, we surely hope to help ease the burden of life's many struggles through prayer and by sharing everyday inspirations through the bulletin board forums.

How does it work?
You can access the Prayer Request by navigating to the DayByDay Bulletin Board and navigating to the
Prayers and Prayer Request section or you can use the links below. The Prayer Request is divided into three sections in order to better direct the postings.

Prayers and Inspirational Words - You are invited to post your favorite prayers and how they have affected your life in this forum. This is a perfect place to share your stories of prayer and help others to find the words to express their faith.

Prayer Request - Request a prayer for yourself or loved ones. As members read through your request, your wishes will be included with the group prayers. Those who wish to participate will pray simultaneously at the time listed below. Feel free to write specific prayers in your post.

Thanks for Prayers Answered - If you want to thank someone for praying for you, you can leave a word of appreciation to all of those who have prayed with you. You may post your appreciation for any prayers.

We would be very thankful if you could pray with us. You just have to pick one day of the week, or more if it is convenient for you, and say a cyber-prayer including as many prayer requests as you feel is feasible. We try to pray at 8 PM (Central Time) as often as possible. If 8 PM is not good for you, you may pick another time; any time of the day will do. Please let us know if you can pray with us by sending an email to: daybyday@daybydayinspirations.com. We will pray for each person with a request for 30 days. If you think you need us to pray for you longer, please post your request again.

To pray just choose any prayer that you like or use your own thoughts and pray for those requesting prayer on this site. You can also use any specific prayers which are requested in the forum. Below are some prayers that we use ourselves.

God be with you.

Prayer of the Month (January/ February)

Dear God, in celebration of the new year,
We pray to be blessed with many bright tomorrows filled with the possibilities that always come from your love.
We pray to have faith, hope and confidence in the things we do, and to learn to be more patient, especially when they don't go the way we expect, and to trust that your love is leading us in the direction for the best answers to our prayers. 
We thank you dear God for all the blessings that you give us, as we pray for those in need.
We thank you for all those in our lives as we pray for those who are lonely.
We thank you for our health, as we pray for those who are sick.
We thank you for our achievements in life as we pray for those who feel lost and without hope.
In silence we pray for the radiant light of God to embrace us and for the love of God to fill our hearts with joy.

In Jesus name,
Amen

The Shepherd’s Psalm

The LORD is my shepherd;
        I shall not want.
        He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
        He leads me beside the still waters.
        He restores my soul;
        He leads me in the paths of righteousness
        For His name's sake.

        Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
        I will fear no evil;
        For You are with me;
        Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

        You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
        You anoint my head with oil;
        My cup runs over.
        Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
        All the days of my life;
        And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
        Forever.

Prayers for Protection

I am centered and poised in the Christ Mind,
and nothing can disturb the calm
peace of my soul.

No situation frightens me. Divine
intelligence reveals to me just what to do
in every emergency.

The angel of His presence guides and guards you.

Yea, Though you walk through the valley
of the shadow of death you will fear no evil,
for God is with you to defend and to deliver you.

The light of God surrounds you; the love of God
enfolds you; the power of God protects you; the
presence of God watches over you.
Wherever you are, God is.
