04/27/20 Reading Week Prayer

UCW — 2020-04-27 20:42:34 UTC

SLam - Count everything as loss in light of the surpassing worth of Christ and God. What does that mean in the little things in our lives? Wanting God to feel as real as he did in the Old Testament.

MLi - To understand what it means to love in gentleness (as a fruit of the spirit)

JKong - Easy to turn to numbness and idols at home. In this space that has so much potential, for God to be at the center of my mind and my heart. That other idols wouldn’t take that place (relationships, church, etc.)

RKim - Discernment to better know my own sin. To not be afraid of self-reflection. Being able to come before God.

CChang - Trying to learn how to sit in emotions with God instead of ignoring them. Have been filling myself with things that aren’t satisfying. Specifically: that I would stop seeking validation from things that are not him.

SKuang - Asking God to show me non-manmade, unshakable kingdom. Desire to see the parts of God that would lead her to awe.

HRo - God honors a desperation faith (from NChang's tmony). I want to be more desperate in my faith —> a matter of life and death. That God would reveal the severity of that to me.

Dillon - To have more faith and more wisdom. Learning how to use this time to strengthen relationship with God. To come out more emboldened to share who Jesus is.

JPark - To learn how to be a good friend to school/home friends.

John kim: more certainty about the future. Summer internship remote, moving to texas w/ family. anxious/worried/uncertain. God has blessed him in being able to spend more time w/ family, health + safety
Michelle li: was praying along these topics, anxious about “little” things and wrestling with guilt about being anxious. Blessed are those to mourn- no specificity about how big/small; with little anxieties, it’s okay to be struggling too. Helps to trust in God for the little things to trust in God for big things too. Pray for heart of always going to God first and being able to honestly hear small anxieties - waiting to hear back for interviews. To be faithful to God
Jeff: anxiety about how long this all will last, concern for economic/social effects if pandemic goes on for much longer. For many families this time is really difficult. Pray that he won’t overblow this situation, but also able to lament with God. pray to use this time well to recharge
John park: don’t really think about being blessed often, word lost its meaning. How crazy it is that God blesses us. Pray for more trust in God to bless us, meditate on the truth of our blessing
Catherine: anxieties from restricted movement. Spend more time outside and with God. past few weeks have been challenging, reconciling some aspects of character is a blessing despite challenges. Thankful for increased conversation with God
Audrey: trying to learn concept of speaking into existence/praising God for something that hasn’t happened yet. Pray for the faith to thank God for things not yet seen
Stanley: hard to balance appreciating blessings vs idolizing them
Jkong: anxious about the little things and trying to maintain control. Pray to be able to see little things as blessings rather than clutter to get through. Everything God gives is a gift, even things to do
Dillon: echoing what people have said, feel blessed with what he has and not needing to worry about immediate needs, anxiety/loneliness as we are finishing the semester
Rebekah: thinking about the cross a lot and what it means- it is the biggest blessing. What does it mean to take up the cross and follow jesus? Still get discouraged by fluctuation . grow in love for jesus not dependent upon circumstance
Michelle fang: anxious/self conscious about talking. Anxiousness makes it hard to see the things to be thankful for, such as time with family and other goodness in life. Anxious about summer and uncertainty. Trying to be more grateful, but it’s hard to fully see goodness of current situation
Dan wang: blessings seem like silver linings. Pray to be able to see how the current situation is blessing him and us, beyond the bare minimum
Janine: that God will bless everyone who is struggling/anxious right now, and that they can feel and know how much He cares for them

4/30/20 reading week prayer

2020-05-01 02:37:31 UTC

Aiden: Renewal from final leg of thesis writing; spending time away with God

Becky: Renewal of motivation to finish last week of Yale (even when we are at our physical peak, we are insufficient); trouble imagining soaring on eagle’s wings/running and not growing weary

Janine: That healthcare workers would feel renewed/strength from God & his presence; relying on God everyday & not just NEXT year/next season (his mercies are made new every day)

Michelle F.: It’s hard to see that God is doing a new thing when nothing is changing; longing for newness in daily routine, for motivation to finish up school year; the suffering/pain being endured by people on news

John P.: Feel like the youth that grows tired & weary; holding onto the past of old patterns of anxiety/being down; long for newness in this, but also not fully trusting that this newness will come - prayer for more trust & believing God’s promises in Isaiah + Revelation

Stanley: Understanding which things he’s holding onto that are actions meant to be given up vs. changing heart behind already-existing actions

John K.: Motivation/renewal dependent on day-to-day conditions → prayer request for renewal independent of physical conditions, but rather dependent on Jesus Christ/God’s promises (no matter how much work, etc.); & clarity in the future

Shirley: Want to walk well until the end of 2019-2020 school year & not be faint (no pressure to run); do want to know more about what it means to hope in the Lord, want to see & pay more attention to Jesus’ resurrection power around us

Chris K.: Difficulty of feeling renewed right now in isolation/renewal is taking on new meaning; what do you do when the things you typically associate with renewal don’t bring that same amount of nourishment for your soul?; prayer req for God to do something supernatural in his soul such that prayer, daily practices would feel so nourishing to him; to forget the former things & not dwell on the past & recognize that God is doing a new thing & trust and hope in that (work)

Jess L.: Remember the things that God has done & his faithfulness/works, not just in her life but also in the world → will then convict her to believe that He is doing a new thing; be more aware of/present with what God is doing and not caught up in own world

Dan: Motivation dependent on very contextual things; feel very stuck at home; want more faith that God is the one renewing him & openness to perceive it wherever it is happening, being physically stranded doesn’t mean being spiritually stagnant

Audrey: beholding the glory of God more!

5/15/20 Summer Prayer

2020-05-15 20:53:54 UTC

Answered prayers:

Shirley: THIS IS AN ANSWERED PRAYER (Psalm 130) I’ve been waiting! For Micah 7...this helps with the waiting & reminds me of truth!

Dan: “You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” reminds → correct me oh Lord, not in your anger, but in justice -Jeremiah …. His anger does not burn against us forever...convicted of idols this week, but felt like there was still levity in the realization (still hope & mercy)

Jess: Read something from OT sometime this week about King Hezekiah to bring God back to Israel...so filled with the Spirit of God that they celebrate 7 MORE days & breaking idols/throwing them away → reminded that when we see God/are in awe of Him - our natural response is to throw away the idols we have kept over the years (God waits for that...patient for us to get there “He does not stay angry forever”)

Audrey: Distance from our sin - some freedom from that!!!! “[He will]...hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”

John: Monday - praying that He could depend on God, it has answered all this week (Wed night harder), God has been strong/near & appetite came back last week!

Prayer reqs:

Jess: prayer for families & homes to be filled with the Spirit of God (God to enter each room & that people would be able to find God & seek refuge in their homes) - home can be hard, esp for ppls’ faith

Shirley: Trust God/Jesus enough to rest - ideally a week of rest next week, (last week - that God would teach her how to wait)

Audrey: reminded that she is wholly insufficient without God

Dan: Make wise decisions on how to spend free time → balance rest & work, finding purpose for couple of weeks ahead; wisdom for country & leaders (local, state, national) as we start to open up

AHuang: not shirking away from being uncomfortable. Leaning into the idea of being pruned

6/22/20 Summer Prayer

UCW — 2020-06-23 17:23:04 UTC

JTu - the gospel should be touching every part of my life :0 that this would be true.
Eph 3:20

AYoo - work has been good but difficult; that I would be able to bring my full self to work; to not shrink

BZhou - rebuildling trust in God… but hasn’t been sticking. That God would give the power to trust him.

DTjiptamustika - prayer for fully giving myself to God. having him be my everything. Not relying on our own strength (re: Ben). Trusting that he will provide (health, wealth, stealth).

DWang - work has been taxing, hoping for ways for the gospel to penetrate into work life. Into the 9-5pm

HRo - Ecc 8:15 “And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.”

Pray that I would take more time to reflect on what God has given me (aka everything) → bring joy

BSuh - God’s invitation to be active in this season instead of waiting pessimistically
Walk into these plans with integrity and diligence and discernment

SKuang - transition. Protection. A smooth transition (moving)

JKang - to pursue faith and love
2 Timothy 2:22 - “So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”

JSun - for one of my closest friends who is deconstructing one of the cores in his life with faith → confusion, tyring to understand his purpose. Pray that he can get a sense of what that purpose is.

SLam - making God everything. Empty myself. Gotta hollow out that junk. → receiving outpouring of love → become love itself

JLee - kinda like stanley, DT; trying to figure out what junk I have; asking God to search me
Psalm 139:23-24. Praying that God would reveal it to her.

AHuang - similar to stanley’s; Luke passage: “if you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.” #1 character he lives by is his love; that all of her characteristics would be superseded by love.

JPark - Luke 16:10

6/29/20 Summer Prayer

2020-06-30 02:51:13 UTC

Anon - for people who are dealing with deaths/sickness of those around them, and that somehow maybe it could lead them to seek God; in these times to have a greater sense of urgency

Bobby Kwon - end of corona. Recently learned of people whom I knew who died :(

JKong - her mom; ear disease that affects balance and causes severe vertigo; yesterday she had a vertigo attack. Prayers that she would be able to find comfort, and for family to turn to God for ultimate comfort; that her parents would know that God loves them

Becky - language affects cognition; for her and other people to have the language to call on God in the way they see Him (she sees God as redeemer; Isaiah 46 MSG → God has known and continues to know everything)

John - thinking about uncertainty of future; newness of each day has sort of turned into dreariness in the past couple of days… praying for joy

Ben - been hard to reconnect with God, but had a moment of breakthrough yesterday. Sometimes it’s easy to overthink relationship with God, instead of just being in the presence of God. praying for more of the spirit to let God in without pretenses and to let God in more

Janine - suitemate, she is an international student and has complications with visa; has anxiety about what next semester will look like

JLee - to know and love God in a new way

S.Lam

stanleylam — 2020-07-06 20:27:27 UTC

That I would learn to walk with God in the middle of uncertainty without rushing to figure out all the answers to my confusions/doubts/worries, that he would help me hold my premed career plans with an open hand

also looking for a house to rent for the upcoming year and it's getting hard to find places :/

7.21 update: found a place and they're gonna send the lease to me! Am expecting to go ahead with this place but would like God to show me soon if another option (on campus, diff property) would be better.

7/6/20 Summer Prayer

Prayer Request Follow Ups & Prayer Request - B Suh

2020-07-15 18:39:55 UTC

4/30: "Renewal of motivation to finish last week of Yale (even when we are at our physical peak, we are insufficient); trouble imagining soaring on eagle’s wings/running and not growing weary"
-> I have been feeling super motivated recently. I attribute the improvement to prioritizing drawing near to God and friends and maintaining a morning routine.
->At Monday night prayer, Janine read Psalm 63 as a benediction. In the Psalm, David is hiding for his life because Saul is hunting him. In his hardship, he prays, "you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings." I identified with the imagery that David uses to describe God as an eagle whose wings grant protection. I totally forgot about the 4/30 devo and how I could not internalize the eagle imagery just three months ago until now by revisiting the padlet... The change in my attitude, increases my confidence that God has the power to turn a heart of stone into a heart of flesh.

6/15: "that we turn our hearts toward God (Book of Daniel) and to sleep better"
-> I am SO encouraged by all the UCW friends who have been using their platforms to raise money and awareness for social causes such as race equality and humane immigration policies. I have been thinking about Micah 6:8: "What does God ask of you oh man but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God." When I see people pursue justice and kindness, I see God's heart :).
-> started to be more disciplined with sleeping early and taking melatonin, which stabilized my sleep schedule.
-A friend in UCW recently read Daniel and told me about her thoughts, and I LOVED it. Daniel is one of my favorite books of the Bible, so I welcome random reflections on it LOL.

6/22 : "God's invitation to be active during this season rather than wait pessimistically and walk into God's plans with integrity"
-> Reading Prayer by Tim Keller w a friend showed me the power of spiritual friendships, which catalyzed other spiritual friendships. I am really grateful to all the people who have read the Bible with me the past couple of weeks because these devotionals helped me see the good and beauitful ways God has moved in history, how He is moving in the present, and how He is working in my community.
-> I am sad about some things about next year, but I am excited to see what the future holds, especially for ministry and community engagement opportunities and to meet old and new friends.
-> My second semester summer school class started using Lock Down browser, so I decided to study instead of relying on Chegg. Doing better in class and enjoying summer class more now.

6:29 "for me and other people to have the language to call on God in the way they see HIm and what they need"

-> I have been reflecting a lot about how God's name is a reflection of his love for us and his desire to know us.
-> I have been reading more about the different names of God. One that stood out to me this week is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. At times it is hard to put my trust and hope in God as a healer. But during women's hang out last week, we read the story of the bleeding Samaritan woman. At this point, COVID has dirsrupted our lives for five months, but this women has suffered for 12 years before she approaches Jesus for healing. Still, she holds fast to hope and takes a step of faith by coming to Jesus. I want that kind of hope and faith.

7/13: "I want God to break through the locked rooms of my heart"
-> It's kind of a long story. But God answered this yesterday/today. I didn't think about how breaking and entering is a foreceful process when I made this request though I am glad He did it HAHA.

7/15 PR: To internalize the truth that God's ways are higher than mine.
PR: Class of 2020's transition into postgrad life.

S.Woo

2020-07-15 22:53:10 UTC

Prayer for a deeper sense of spiritual longing in the ucw community. For togetherness and cohesion, especially during the fall semester.

Prayer for my decision whether to come back to campus or not. That I would be able to make the wise decision.

Prayer for my little brother. I think he just doesn't care about faith. That God would replace his heart of stone with a heart of flesh, in His perfect timing.

Thank you for your prayers :-)

Jess Lee

2020-07-16 01:53:33 UTC

- prayer for my momma! She likely has Meniere's disease, which gives her rly bad vertigo attacks and also has increased her anxiety. Would love prayer for healing and peace (esp for her anxiety!)

- similar to Dan, "discipline to remain grounded in the Word and protective of time with God"
- and to be bold in my faith this summer at work, e.g. even just explaining when I need to log off early for Bible study

Aud

2020-07-21 15:38:43 UTC

-prayer for my friend jess from HS to know God. I think that we are hitting a point of reckoning and standstill in our friendship/simultaneous potential breakthrough in her questioning spirituality; she has spoken about considering attending church but also feels adamantly that there are things about our God that she cannot agree with nor accept

DWang

2020-07-21 23:49:16 UTC

- prayers of safety and peace over my family—we are moving homes in the next week and a half! Feeling hurried and restless

Fear of the Lord

2020-07-23 12:01:19 UTC

I am so grateful for all those around me. Yet, out of this gratitude and love for them, the fear of future death (of loved ones) sometimes overtakes me at random moments. Like, how could I possibly live without them? Instead of fearing death, I hope that the fear of the Lord would reign in my life and in the life of others. That the fear of the Lord would give me confidence and hope to overcome any future obstacles, and that the Lord would always be my portion and always be enough for me.
- Sarah

SLam

stanleylam — 2020-07-26 18:50:13 UTC

my MCAT is in less than 2 weeks (8/7)! would love prayers for daily peace and joy as I persist in seeking God in this time of prepping

also, I've realized recently that there's a barrier in my life preventing God from using me fully: I fear initiating convos with strangers/people I only know peripherally. I care way too much about what others think of me, so would like prayers for confidence and boldness.

8/3 prayer

2020-08-04 02:44:43 UTC

John Park: sanctification feels gradual so sometimes forget that we are a new creation. pray for 102 edgewood, that God’s presence will be there.
Jess Lee: joy because of Jesus’ resurrection and our own resurrection. PR: dwell in that joy more
Dan Wang: PTL for safe move. Thinking about future, PR: not be conformed to the world in decision making and to discern God’s will.
Audrey: sort of feeling like a new creation/slow process. PR: God continuing to meet in a loving way. Dad who will be home alone, wellbeing.
Janine: prayer for first-years and their transition to yale. Also for continued sanctification

Audrey

2020-09-05 22:04:14 UTC

My dad is now living alone at home. Pls pray for him! His name is Ming. <3 tyty

9/06/20 Habakkuk 2:14

2020-09-06 20:01:44 UTC

Today, Jeff preached on why we exist: to know God and his glory. One verse he shared from Habakkuk 2:14 stood out. “For the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.” It’s upsetting to see how greed gets in the way of billions of people experiencing the knowledge of the glory that the world is supposed to reflect and was intended for because of exploitation, oppression, and indifference. So Habakkuk resonated with me because it reminded me that history ends in glory and dignity for all, and that I need to be more optimistic and patient.

Prayer Request 1: We don’t let covid replace joy and anticipation with cynicism or resignation and instead be steadfast in our hope and resolve to 👁👄👁 (taste and see) God both in our personal lives and in this community.

Prayer Request 2: To know God like I know a friend... I want to continually and deeply feel the joy, fun, comfort, and encouragement I feel with my close friends and family in Jesus... without the bits when they are annoying 😝🧚 I’ve been feeling anxious this past week, and I want to work through that with God.

If these are also prayers on your heart... maybe we can pray together next week after service? 👀

Audrey H.
Dad is at home alone. physical/emotional support.
Want to feel secure in God this semester

Frankie S.
More of a personal relationship with God. Spend some time in stripped-down solitude.

Stanley L.
So many ppl to love but only so much time. Ask God to open doors to who he wants me to spend my time loving & caring this semester. That the relationships i form would become fruitful

Becky S.
For my life / how i spend my time to reflect what i believe about prayer. Anemic prayer life → anemic spiritual life.
Anxious about minor car accident. Want everyone to be honest.

Shirley K.
For patience. Feeling impatience/angst on micro + macro scale.
Would love to still be joyfully obedient
Mark 4 ⇒ kingdom comes gradually, in ways we don’t understand ⇒ requires patience
Would love to be able to see the blade of the kingdom of God.
Would love to be stripped of religious complexity (don’t know what this means).

Janine T.
Leviticus ⇒ struck by power of Jesus in freeing us.
Firstfruits: more disciplined about sabbath; desire to give my time to God. other aspects too: giving money, giving time, giving energy

Hannah R.
Mom. physically not been well for over a year. In hospital right now for 5th time. More faith in power of prayer, communal prayer. That my mom would not be discouraged by these experiences. That God would restore her physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally

John P.
That I would be motivated by freedom and gratefulness. No more obligation. boo.

Would like prayers for lab work this sem. In past years I've basically done the minimum so that I could check the box for med school. God has convicted me in that regard--i realized it's not a very honest way to work...but this time around, I want to display my love for God thru diligent, honest work. Pray that God would allow the experiments to run smoothly, and that I could genuinely contribute to the people i'm working with.

no more hopelessness. freedom from anger

mental health

2020-10-23 17:35:58 UTC

just as i feel the tides of guilt, shame, anger, hatred, and utter depression falling back, they rise even stronger the next day/hour/week, even more malicious than before. if before, i was in the depths of a storm where i was constantly underwater, paddling for my life, i thank God for bringing me to the shore, where at least now i have some breathing room. but this back-and-forth of feeling "better" and feeling the same/worse is exhausting and draining in its own way. perhaps the high makes the low all the worse. i pray that anyone who even remotely relates to or feels the way i do can feel a sense of peace.

Wet

2020-10-27 02:58:02 UTC

today i wrote a weekly about feeling oh so very dry in my faith. then during prayer JP prompted us to reflect on what we were grateful for this past month and i realized just how much God had/has been moving in my life and the lives of those around me. how could i have been so blind! and so unappreciative towards our Father. i feel foolish, but very loved. PTL for MOP -- it lived up to its name 💦

Consistent prayer for discipline, not as a punishment but as a means of bringing peace into my life. How will the understanding that my body = a temple for God's Spirit allow me to treat my body better (instead of pulling all-nighters, eating junk food, physically exerting it)?

jkong

2020-10-27 22:46:43 UTC

I would like consistent prayer for:
- my parents and this election. I think politics is a topic that divides my family and takes away all Christlike tendencies in us sometimes. I want to give control up to God and trust that he will unify us in love + his justice + righteousness and not our own incomplete versions of it.

Also:
- Nagoro-Karabakh. Persecution of Armenians.
- #EndSARS. Persecution of Nigerians.
- revival in my heart for God! I want faith like Brian K. Lee was talking about.
- John Kim and a speedy recovery to his concussion

Prayer against scorn for God. Scorn for God looks like doubting his power, playing down sin. The wages of sin is death, but I usually treat sin somewhat casually.

Justice & Mercy Fund

Trying to get froshpod off the ground is really tough. I thought things would be more or less back to normal this semester, but it seems like we keep running into obstacles everywhere we turn. I think UCW lost a lot of momentum over the past year and a half, and now it seems like it's up to us to push really hard and get this ball rolling once again. Would appreciate prayer for God to show us that the burden is not all on our shoulders.

my friend’s dad has recently been diagnosed with end-stage lung cancer. it’s been really rough for his family to process and stay strong, and he’s fortunately been optimistic, but after getting his dad got his second chemotherapy treatment yesterday, he currently has a fever that might indicate an infection. at the same time, my faith has been really low recently with unanswered questions, and i feel like my lack of active prayer and faith directly impact his family and his dad’s health. i ask y’all to please pray fervently and passionately in a God that I’m currently doubting heavily.

pray for the dad’s healing, that his infection will go away
pray that the dad will beat cancer or at least stay strong and comfortable as he remains with us
pray that the family has a strong faith and confidence in God during this time
pray that my friend will not hold all the burden of the family and is able to grieve while still remaining confident in His healing power
pray that the church and nearby community will support the family well, and that God will also reveal to me ways that I can support them
pray for my faith, that I see God and have that passion for Him reignite

Would appreciate prayers for the following:

Prayers for wisdom in choosing the next pair of froshpod leaders
Prayers for an emotionally and spiritually healthy community in froshpod that would be uplifting to everyone involved
- That we would be able to steer clear of issues like exclusivity, shame culture, peer pressure, burnout, etc, and that if these issues do occur, that we would be able to resolve them gracefully
Prayers for more meaningful relationships to develop between frosh and upperclassmen and that upperclassmen would be able to pour into the lives of the frosh and be a blessing to them
Prayers for me personally, that I would not get overwhelmed with the million concerns I have about froshpod but would be able to experience joy in God - that I would be able to open my hands and receive what God is doing in froshpod

tldr; prayer request that i can love God more and utterly trust in his healing powers

- i’ve been having a lot of physical pain today and yesterday. when i’m in pain, it consumes my thoughts, making it hard to focus on other things and be joyful. sometimes, it’s the only thing i can think about. and it feels lonely, because i don’t feel like anyone around me can understand what i’m going through. i’m so grateful that Jesus knows my suffering intimately and that he suffered for me, in ways that i could never understand. but it’s hard to maintain trust when there’s no end in sight, and what’s in the now is just pain. Jesus had a reason for his pain, and sometimes I wonder, what’s God’s reason for mine? at the same time, i feel like an Israelite grumbling to God when i know the ways he’s given me provision and already provided for me in past pain/suffering. then i feel guilty for complaining, like now. i just pray to see God through all of this, and to love him even more.

-i would really appreciate prayer for a loved one who (very likely) has brain cancer. that God is working through this. that He can raise even the dead from life, and that the results from her test next week are miraculous. i pray that even if they aren’t, that God can reveal himself to her and transform her life to see the truth of his existence and goodness. finally, that God can guard her heart against discouragement, bitterness, fear, anger.

Why did God make Eve with the kidney of Adam while Adam was made with nobody's kidneys? Is it to tell that men are superior to women?

strokes

Hi, there’s a retired or semi-retired wrestler whos real first name is Michael (age 61) who has suffered multiple strokes. Please pray for healing and repentance/ salvation in this situation.

There’s another individual named Steve who wrestled for a couple of years in the 90s who has ALS. There’s no actual cure for ALS. Please pray for the same things for Steve (the healing and repentance/ salvation).

Please also pray for repentance/ salvation for someone who based on a comment on a video is trying to believe in God or in a God for a while but is having a hard time doing so if this person is telling the truth.

Thank you.
