I keep replaying it. Pray for me to lay it down without dropping the boundary. There is a version of forgiveness that is just self-erasure and I don't want to do that. There is also a version that holds resentment forever and I don't want to do that either. Pray for the middle path.
Pray together. Pray privately.
A safe space to share what's on your heart, pray for others, and find quiet support — without the noise of social media.

Anger at someone who hurt my child
Pray for me to hold the boundary without it eating me. Pray for my child too — that they don't carry shame that doesn't belong to them. And pray for the person who hurt them — not because they deserve it, but because if I don't pray for them I will become someone I don't want to be. #emotional

First anniversary — and it has been hard
It was not the year we imagined. We had two job losses, a small loss in the family, and a long stretch where we both just survived next to each other instead of with each other. Pray for the second year. For tenderness to come back. For the small habits — the goodnight, the hand on the shoulder, the laugh at our share…

We had the conversation last weekend about hiring a part-time helper. It did not go well. They feel managed; we feel scared. Pray for the next conversation — for softer language and for us listening before deciding. They've cared for us our whole lives. We don't want to do this badly. #family

Two real options on the table. Both could work. Both have shadows. Pray for clarity rather than certainty — I keep waiting to feel sure, and the feeling isn't coming. Pray for the wisdom to choose with the information I have, and the courage to live with whichever choice.
The relief is hard to describe. #thanksgiving #healing
Pray for soft landings between waves.

Trying to forgive someone who has not asked for it
I keep replaying it. Pray for me to lay it down without dropping the boundary. There is a version of forgiveness that is just self-erasure and I don't want to do that. There is also a version that holds resentment forever and I don't want to do that either. Pray for the middle path.

Praying for my son with autism
He had a hard week at school — sensory overload on Tuesday, then a misunderstanding with a classmate on Thursday. The teachers are kind but stretched. Pray for one breakthrough this month, and for a steady friend. He doesn't need many. He needs one.
Hospice last Wednesday. He still has good hours. He told a joke yesterday and we all laughed too hard, the way you do. My mother is sleeping next to him every night. My brother flew in from Sydney; he hadn't seen our father since Christmas and now they are catching up on twenty years in whispered conversations between…
Pray for clear heads and right values. #work
The waiting is hard. Pray for the right door at the right time.

Praying through unemployment — month nine
Nine months in. The CV is now in a folder that I open less often. The early kindnesses from friends have settled into a quieter awkwardness — they don't know what to ask anymore. This week I almost took a role I didn't want, just to be employed. I talked it over with a friend and slept on it and said no. I'm proud of …
She is loved. The caregivers are tired. There is a particular weight to caring for someone who doesn't always remember you, and who is sometimes scared of you because of it. Pray for soft hands and slow words and small mercies in the long afternoons. #family
Twelve people. I can keep eight. Officially the announcement is next Tuesday. I have known for three weeks and have been carrying it alone, which has not been good for my sleep or my marriage. Three of the four I have to let go are people I respect deeply. One is a single parent. One has a chronic illness in his famil…
Pray for rest for the whole household.

Not crisis, just slow. We are both tired in different ways. We have stopped reaching for each other in the small ways and neither of us is quite sure how it started or how to step back across. Pray for one small act of tenderness this week, from me, without keeping score. #marriage
Pray for steadiness through today.
It might be nothing. The doctor used the word 'probably' and the word 'most likely' a lot, and then scheduled three more appointments. I held it together through the consult and cried in the car park afterwards. We haven't told the kids yet. They have a big school week and I don't want to give them this to carry. My h…

Pray for patience, humour, and hugs that still get accepted.
Pray for clear thinking and the right people showing up.
I cried at the offer letter. #thanksgiving #work
Three years almost to the day from the diagnosis. The doctor said the word 'remission' and I think I said 'thank you' four times before I could pull it together. I am not the same person I was three years ago. I am quieter. I am less impressed by some things and more impressed by others. I cry at the smallest pieces o…

Mum's second opinion appointment is on Thursday
We've been carrying this since the first scan came back uncertain. Some days I'm fine; some days I can barely look at the calendar. Pray for the doctor to be honest and gentle. Pray for the right next step, whatever the answer. And for my dad — he is strong out loud and tired underneath. #healing #family
She has been with us as a foster placement for fourteen months. Today the judge said the words. We cried in the hallway and a stranger handed us a tissue and didn't ask why. She is three. She has a small bag of things she came with that we have kept exactly the way it was on the day. We will tell her about her first …

We just hired our fourth person. Each hire is a small leap of faith. Pray for the right people in the right seats. Pray for me to lead well — to set a tone of high standards and high care. I have worked in places that had one without the other. I want to build something different. #work
Pray for patience as the body heals more slowly than I expected. Trying not to push too hard. #healing
Three weeks in, we finally got the full story out of him on Sunday night. He had been carrying it alone, which is the part that breaks me the most. We meet with the school on Wednesday. Pray for the right tone — firm without being explosive. Pray for the school to take it seriously. Pray for kind classmates around him…

How Prayerground works
Calm, respectful, safe.
1
Share
Write what's on your heart. Post publicly, members-only, in a private circle, or just to your journal.
2
Pray
Read others' requests. Tap "I prayed" to let them know they're not alone. Leave a gentle word.
3
Update
Mark prayers as answered. Encourage others with what's grown — even quietly, between answered and ongoing.
Public to pray together. Private when you need it.
Public
Anyone can read and pray. For general matters like exams or interviews.
Members or circle
Limit to signed-in members or invite-only circles. For more personal requests.
Private journal
Just you and the page. A quiet place for prayers between you and God.
Our community rules, in short
Prayerground stays safe because we keep it simple.
- ●Be kind. No attacks on any person, group, or faith.
- ●Protect privacy. Don't share other people's personal details.
- ●No selling, no advice masquerading as professional help.
- ●If someone is in danger, encourage local emergency support.
