It's about boundaries — too much overtime and not enough thanks for it. I have been carrying it for months and I am not good at saying the hard thing. Pray for honest words from me and an open mind from him. Pray for both of us not to default to defensiveness.
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.

From the prayer wall
5,299 prayers offered for 3,279 requests.
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.

Starting my own small business this month
After six years of saying I would. After three years of saying I should have. The first invoice goes out next week. Pray for steady hands and steady customers. Pray for me to learn how to charge what the work is worth, and to rest when no one is watching. #work

Praying for those who feel forgotten
Seen, even when it is quiet. Held, even when no one knows. May this prayer find you wherever you are sitting tonight, and may it land like a hand on your shoulder.

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…
Pray for calm, the right questions, and peace either way. #work

My child is being bullied
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…
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 the person reading this who is exhausted
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.
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
Mum starts the next round of chemo this week. Please pray for strength, kind nurses, and good rest in between. #healing #family
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

Job interview next week
Pray for calm, the right questions, and peace either way. #work
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 …

My father is in his final season
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…

My son passed his exams
We saw him work so hard. Thank you for praying. #thanksgiving
Medication isn't right yet. Pray for the right adjustment and for him to slow down. #family
Pray for sufficiency and for peace.

My father has been in and out of hospital for six weeks now. Each time we think we are at the corner; each time we are not quite. He is tired, more tired than I have ever seen him. My mother is quietly heroic in a way that breaks my heart. My children are confused. I find myself praying very simple prayers now. Not fo…

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.

Helping my parents financially this year
We didn't tell them how stretched we are; they wouldn't accept the help if they knew. Pray for sufficiency for everyone. Pray for me to do this without resentment, even on the months when it is hard. They gave us everything they had once.
Such a tender world. We can do small good things.

Pray for resourcefulness and steady nerves. #healing
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
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.

Career change at midlife
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.
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…
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

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.
