[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Pray for the souls of those in Ukraine who are going to die.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Pray for my mother's peace of mind. She gets a little too into the news.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Please pray for my grandmother, father, and his siblings. They had a big scare tonight. Please pray that my grandmother is okay.

[Ephes_Eldercape]

Praying for y’all’s requests.

[Dathmaul_Crinklegadget]

Okay I would like to ask for some more prayer. My dad got better for about a month, it was due to some bad decision making, but now he's going back to that. Please pray for him, my mom is scheduling a zoom call tomorrow with some of his pastor friends to talk about it.

[Dathmaul_Crinklegadget]

Welp... Last month it got better when they talked about it but now it's not so great. He says that he's been open about it, when he has been keeping it a secret, but now it's freely out in the open. Things aren't going the best for @Flash_Jarmatch, my mom and I. So please keep praying for us.

_{it was a while ago but @Lilliana_Umbrellascope, I saw that you listened to a song called Can You Hold Me?
so I decided to check it out yesterday and that helped me so thank you}

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Definitely praying. I wish there was more I could do. :0\

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Hey, please pray, the area (near) around us is under a tornado warning.

[Ethan_Burnkeep]

Please Pray for me, I was just playing Lordz. io, (the game has chat) Someone created the clan with the N word as its name, and like 5-6 guys were ganging up on me, calling me an N, and saying the Blacks suck and all this bad stuff. I got called that, a lot of other stuff, and F bombed, I said I would pray for them, and then left. I know it's just a game, but it hurt, please pray.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

I'm sorry man. This world stinks. Praying for them and you. :0)

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

Praying, I'm really sorry.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

What the heck, Ethan!

Pray that God gets their attention by any means necessary. This should not continue.

Listen, Ethan, you are a fine young gentleman and lad of good sense. It's as clear as day these specimens from the bottom of someone's lawn-cutting shoes lack brains as well as vocabulary.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

That is absolutely unacceptable and awful - racism is against Scripture and is absolutely ugly. God made you well and you do not deserve to be called such names or have such awful language used against you.

I’ll be praying as well.

For You created my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You When I was made in secret, And skillfully formed in the depths of the earth;

This is King David talking to God and praising him for how God has created him, and God placed this Scripture in the Bible so we would know how much he values each and every one of us.

[Hanna_Brassheart]

That is.... so incredibly wrong, so horrible..... I am so sorry you had to experience this. Praying for you, Ethan, and also that God would open the eyes of those messed up guys.

Thank you for your prayers everyone

Random question, does being black/Mexican make it any more acceptable to use that language?

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Yeah, for some reason it is socially acceptable for those races to use racial slang. I guess since they aren't victimizing anyone else. Words are weird.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

Socially acceptable it may be, but Scripturally acceptable is definitely not.

But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

This passage really should put the matter to rest. The word in question implies that people whom God has designed with darker skin pigmentation are inferior to those with less skin pigmentation. This is not true - all human beings come from Adam and Eve and are made in the image of God. Therefore, since even drawing a distinction is wrong, that word should not be used.

Rap singers of certain races seem to be able get away with that language, though, heh. I could totally imagine an English major classroom debate over “Is black people’s use of racial pejoratives evidence of internalized racial trauma?” and we would probably sit and consider a bunch of examples and argue about inferiority complexes and psychologically diffusing the power of insults, but the Scripture is clear.

Hey, gang! I have a couple prayer requests.

Please pray that I will keep standing strong and not give into the worries and doubts that arise so very quickly. I've been doing really well in giving them to God, but even so it seems the devil is always waiting for a day to get me down and today feels like one of those days.

Secondly, please pray for my girlfriend. She's been seeking God wholeheartedly and I'm really proud of her. She's been asking Him for direction concerning her future. Pray that He will keep making it clear to her and that she too will resist the wicked one who tries very often to tear her down.

Thank you so much! I pray the same thing for you guys as often as I remember. I pray that you guys will remain strong against the wiles and wicked schemes of the devil. It's a tough battle, but with a body like ours praying daily as we do, it's like we're asking God to put up huge shields of protection around one another. And He is!

Stand strong!

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Definitely praying for you and your girlfriend! :0) God holds everything. He can overcome anything the devil throws at Him. _{This is shown especially in Rev. 12...}
