Please pray for Mrs. Hernandez. She went through surgery not too long ago and due to this the District which she works for reduced her hours making her part-time employee. Her husband is also working very few hours a week and has threaten to divorce her. Her daughters instead of helping the situation have been making it worse. Mrs. Hernandez now spends most of her time in bed crying. Please pray that she may find comfort and healing in God. That He may give her the strength and guidance she needs through this difficult… Read More

Please pray for my husband or me to receive a financial blessing. We are so behind on all our bills. The creditors are constantly bothering me at work and even threatening me that our house might go into foreclosure and that both our vehicles will be repossessed.

Thank you,

Michelle

Thank you,

Yesenia…

Please pray that God may continue to work in our lives and heal our marriage.  That he may keep us safe from anyone or anything that wants to destroy our marriage and our covenant with God.  That we may always feel the love that we feel now and that if ever either one of us is tempted may God convicts in our hearts and turn away from sin.  That we can be not only better husband and wife, but also better parents to our child.

Thank you,

Claudia…

Please pray for Roy, a patient in ICU at Metrohealth in Cleveland.  Specifically prayer is needed that Roy would awake from a week long coma from a tragic pedestrian/truck accident.  Roy was the pedestrian. Please also pray for the driver who is suffering from tremendous sorrow from this accident.  Thank you…

I am looking for a prayer for my husband’s family as they seem to be falling apart as the result of my mother-in-law’s recent stroke.  They bicker and argue constantly about what is best for her, and now, it seems they’re not speaking to my father-in-law at all.  I’m worried that my mother-in-law’s MUCH NEEDED care and prayer is going to get lost in the shuffle–any suggestions would be appreciated.  I pray for her and them daily, but I’m kind of at a loss for the right words to say to help them put… Read More

I run my own business and my company has been in bad shape for the past years. Our debtors are not paying us, they have been missing in action. We couldn’t locate them. Sometime back, I’ve borrowed a sum o f money from my sis. Now that it’s been a while, she’s asking me back for the money. My sis is a persistent kind of person. She would not take ‘Later” for an answer. I’ve been suffering from her constant harassment in terms of words. She would call me… Read More

I need prayer. Please!

Just happened to stumble upon this site by chance and let me say that I am most appreciative of your offer to pray for those who need it. I know the power of God and will not turn down an opportunity to be prayed over by my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I’m a 26 year old mother of 2 and this weekend I told my husband I wanted a divorce. I don’t really, but I also don’t feel that I can go on living in the situation we’re in - he is… Read More

My name is Jill. I attended a Lutheran church from the early 1960’s to the early 1980’s in my hometown in Illinois. Twenty-eight years ago, I turned my back on God when my fiancé was killed in a car accident.

In May of 2005, when my life became messy and I felt that God was calling me back to Him, I rededicate my life back to Christ and found a non-denomintional church here in Las Vegas. At that time, my husband became a Christian for the very first time in his life at the age… Read More

I have been a foster parent for just over a year now. In September of last year I took in a 15 year old girl who is extremely troubled. Recently she decided to go to a friends for the weekend (which is not allowed) while she out she ended up stealing a car and of course got caught. Because i did not call her in as a runaway like I should have, they ended up taking the other two children in my home– one being my grandson and the other my 5 year old whom I have… Read More

We need prayers! My 18 year old son, Matt, has been making a lot of bad choices in the past 3-4 months. It seems like Satan is really on the attack. Please pray for him. He graduates soon, and I’m not sure what is next. Please pray for me. I’m scared, and my heart hurts so badly right now.

Thank you,
Michelle…

Please pray for the salvation of my husband and my marriage. My husband has been living in sin and I was just so devastated when I learned about it. But I believe that God will not allow this to continue. I have been praying and standing for the restoration of my marriage and I believe my prayers are not in vain.

Please pray for us. We really need prayer warriors now more than ever.

I am not sure if you could be of any assistance, but I am trying to get the word out about a dear friend of mine’s story. She is an awesome Christian woman and you could find her new blog here: www.littleoneapril.blogspot.com

Her daughter is terminally ill and it is obvious that her story has already touched a lot of other Christian (and non Christian women) the last week she has had her blog up.

A friend of mine actually told me about CWO and I thought I would check it out and see if you could help me and her… Read More

Please pray that I will be able to resolve impacted bowels, before I have to have surgery perhaps. It is one of the worst types of pain one can have, and believe me, I have had alot of pain every day in various areas along with 4 surgeries since 2001!! I am afraid to eat and just use a juicer, so I won’t have to go through this horrific pain again.

Thank you so much for each and every prayer on my behalf.

Amy…

Hi I am a 25 years old and have been married to my wonderful husband for 5 years. My reasons for needing prayer are I want to give my whole self to the Lord and I always start out so strong but then I faulter. I want to be able to keep up and not let my faith get pushed aside. For several years I have felt the Lord calling me I just know i am not the person the Lord desires.

My second is my husband. He says he is agnostic and my biggest prayer is… Read More

This month we have a very special guest with us. CWO has had other wonderful guests in the past, but none have affected me quite as much as Trish Ramos from Living Waters Publications/Way of the Master Ministries.

Sunny Shell and Trish Ramos have teamed up in Sister2Sister to preach the gospel at the University of North Texas. Trish is a role model to women everywhere, giving us the inspiration and the… Read More

This is what all our lives should only be about – giving honor and glory to God for who He is and the great things He has done. And this is exactly why we, here at CWO do what we do; “uniting women of faith” so that we may fellowship, exhort and edify one another in Christ, all the more as we see the Day approaching. One of the ways we desire to fulfill this great calling from God is to bring you stories that will inspire you to drink deeper into the… Read More

Many of us will remember Candace Cameron Bure from ABC’s Full House, where we affectionately knew her as “DJ Tanner.” Today Candace is a role model to young women everywhere, with a testimony of growing up in Hollywood, while growing in faith with God.

This month, Candace gets candid on weight loss when a reader says, “I’m over indulging again and can’t stop.”

I saw you in US Weely Magazine, and you look… Read More

After ten years, I can finally say with confidence that I am a lifetime member of the Live Well plan. Being a lifetime member doesn’t mean that I’m so tiny I slip back into my high school jeans, nor does it mean that I don’t struggle with the desire to eat more often than I should. What it does mean to me is that I have been walking this journey day after day, year after year for over a decade.

I’m averaged-sized, and while I’d… Read More

They’ve captured me on film wearing it, like a toga slung over one shoulder, like a mantle flung over and hanging, and sometimes I wave hands, waving off that clicking shutter because I’m wearing this thing, and sometimes, frankly, I entirely forget that it’s there, it flowing from me.

And yet there are ways, after all these years, it’s only now becoming who I am and what it means to love.

They’re meant to hang on racks, these dishtowels, or drape over oven handles, or slip on the knob of

Oh, how I love spring.

How can you not? I don’t care where you live, spring looks like the earth yawning and stretching its arms. It smells like hope, and new beginnings, and the promise of soon-to-be-cut grass. It tastes like a long-awaited picnic. It feels like bright yellow fluff. It sounds like the peep of two-legged babies.

That’s what’s filling my ears right now … the sound of chicks trying out their teeny vocal chords. Yesterday was “chick day” at the… Read More

In my endeavor to live life more fully, I’m always evaluating things I want to incorporate into my life and what things I DON’T want. I want to have a beautiful and organized home, but there are other things in life that are important to me too. I want my home to be in order so I am free to nurture relationships and enjoy living, but I don’t want to be a slave to my housekeeping routines.

So, how do I balance it all? I… Read More

This month I have a delicious recipe for spicy italian meatballs that I’m dying to share with you. It’s the secret recipe of our own editor Darlene Schacht. And since she gave it to me in confidence, let’s keep this post our little secret, shall we?

This recipe freezes well which makes it a great choice if you’re cooking ahead. Getting together with others to do batch cooking can be a form of fellowship and a start in stewardship, which is a topic that’s been on… Read More

Sometimes I wonder if men and women
really suit each other.
Perhaps they should live next door and just visit
now and then.  
–Katherine Hepburn

Do you ever find yourself burning with questions that have no answers? Such as:

• how can a boy who effortlessly opens restricted e-mail files have trouble closing the toilet lid?
• why do men and boys always “flick” the remote control at the exact moment we women become interested in a program?
• how can men live with dirty socks strewn all

In March we begin work that will yield something great in just a few quick months!

It’s about delicious food being grown with our own hands – which we will be sharing with others.

The increasing number of gardeners in the United States stands for something. It says that people are interested in organic. People are tired of paying the prices and they want to know where their produce is coming from! The lost art of gardening is returning! I can… Read More

“Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
Be merciful to me and hear my prayer.”

Lord, you saw that list of layoffs my company is talking about. I don’t know what the future holds and I am worried about what that could mean for my family. I know that we should have had some savings built up for times like these… but we just never did. Lord, help me to… Read More

As we enter the month of March thoughts of spring begin to dance in our head. We begin to see green everywhere as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but many of us are longing for the green grass and green trees. I promise it is right around the corner!

While waiting for spring let me suggest some wonderful books to read. If you are looking for a book to help prepare your heart for Easter may I suggest Nancy Guthrie’s Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross?  Nancy’s book is sure to become a… Read More

Recently I visited St. Augustine, Florida with my family and we found the Fountain of youth! Well actually Ponce De Leon did… however it was fun to experience the historical park and drink from the fountain (no, I did not come out looking 20 again).

Even though I did not gain youthful years back from a legendary fountain–you can achieve a youthful glow by following these beauty & health tips. Plus you will see results within 24 hours!

Hope.  March is the perfect time to reflect on hope. Soon we’ll see visual signs of new life in the spring flowers and new tendrils of grass peeking up out of the brown frozen ground. We hear of God’s promise of eternal life through the sacrifice and death of His only son, Jesus Christ.  Without hope for this eternal life, which is perfectly symbolized by the new life which surrounds us in spring, our lives would have no meaning. 

As Basil C. Hume spoke

Let’s face it, dear Boomer Babes, not all adult children are dysfunctional, any more than all parents are enablers. Many adult children have been raised to have deep respect for their parents and themselves. For these children, the thought of taking advantage of anyone, let alone the parents who raised them, is abhorrent. Let’s call these children functioning adult children.

However, for many of us, that term does not describe our adult children. Instead, we “parents in pain” dream about seeing our… Read More

Have you ever caught yourself staring at someone else?

I know what it is like to see someone in church or somewhere else and take notice of a feature that isn’t characteristic of the average person. I tend to assume they have special needs or were involved in some sort of accident. In each instance it’s strange but my mind automatically begins to wander.

Each month CWO chooses one blogger from our list of over 4,000 women to be CWO’s blog of the month.

This month’s pick is Sarah from God’s Not Finished With Us Yet

Sarah describes her walk with the Lord by saying, “After walking along side the Lord as friends for approx. 3 years, Jesse and I were later married almost 6 years ago on June 7, 2003. While Jesse was raised in a Christ-centered home, I came from a broken home w/o understanding the FULL love of God. Through my doubt… Read More
