CU Prayer Board by Christian Union Yale

How This Works

yalechristianunion — 2020-04-04 01:56:52 UTC

Padlet is a wonderful, super aesthetic platform that's free and easy to use! Feel free to download the Padlet app for your own use. You can join the CU Prayer Board and add it to your personal padlets by simply entering the URL when prompted.

1. To add a "post-it", simply sign in Google (otherwise you can contribute anonymously too), click on the "plus" sign, and write your prayer!
2. Reactions to others' posts (likes) are enabled. Comments are also enabled on other "post-its". Use these functions to let your friends know you've prayed for them, write words of encouragement, and keep everyone in the loop if your prayers have been answered by commenting on your own post.
3. You can also upload files, doodles, hyperlinks, pictures, alongside your posts (the options are in the bottom bar of each "post-it"). Go crazy and get creative!
4. You can even change the colour of your post-it - how fun! Click on the three dots at the top right corner to change background colours, or edit your post.

**It would be great is each prayer request could be posted as a separate post-it! ^_^

Share this padlet with anyone who needs it!

Alice’s Family Friend

sharmainekohmingli — 2020-04-08 16:38:53 UTC

Alice's family friend has been experiencing some back pain recently. The doctors think she might have to undergo surgery at some point, but she's been pouring her energies into caring for other family members, leaving her own health somewhat in limbo. We pray that God will be with her in this time, provide her peace and courage, as well as extend his healing power over her and restore her (and her family's) health and strength!

We uplift this Saturday’s CU Easter Sharing and Song (Resurrection Reflections) in prayer, that we may be mutually encouraged that evening, and that God will bless this event. May He prepare his ministry and light in up on fire, and may we have more and more people showing up to prayer with the eagerness to speak to God.

Just praying that God's will be done, that He speaks through me, and that Holy Spirit would work in her heart.

I have been experiencing serious physical health problems because of the gruesome hours at my internship/recruitment for next summer internship/fall semester classes. Prayer that God will continue to be be my healer/redeemer/sustainer when I'm at my end. Also prayer I allow myself to wander closer to God and his people. There has been feelings of apathy toward community after announcement about the CU layoffs – unsure of what the challenges of this transition entails.

For my eyes

danielchabeda — 2020-08-28 18:23:52 UTC

I've been feeling pressure in my right eye and it doesn't look great. I called a few doctors and my public health coordinator to see if I can break quarantine and see an ophthamologist. Please pray for my eyes.

Prayer for my family who may have been exposed to COVID. We were at a family gathering with members who potentially bought back the virus from a vacation. My brother and father have been coughing and feeling fatigue today.

- I have 2 internship interviews on Friday that I would really appreciate prayers for!
- I am feeling overall pretty weak in faith right now. I kind of struggle to get up in the morning and do what God has for me that day. Prayers for overall energy, direction, and drive to seek the Lord!

- One of my extracurriculars is really stressing me out, and I'm feeling like I really want to give up, so prayers for renewed dedication or knowing when to stop if it isn't in God's plan
- I find myself craving things of the world like romantic love and a desire to be truly known by others rather than craving God above all else
- I think I did something today that may have hurt someone, and even though I already repented before God, I want to be completely transparent with them but fear what they will think of me if I confess to them. Please pray for wisdom in timing, tone, overall approach to the conversation... that there would be grace, love and reconciliation.
- I want to find direction and be able to see kindness when it is there.
- Learning to let go of the fear of man which has been a snare for years. I would also love prayers to be filled with the Holy Spirit as I want to know Him intimately in my life
