Prayer Requests

These prayer requests are basically a chance for all of us to humbly request the mercy, blessings and prayers of one another. You can request prayers for any situation at all, be it help, guidance, devotion, etc.


  • You can comment on any blog post of mine with your prayer request.  I will copy paste what you write into a new blog post. Please comment by writing "PRAYER REQUEST" in the first line of the comment so I know it is a prayer request. Alternatively, you can leave a comment on this post as well.

  • Your prayer request will appear under the category titled 'Prayer Requests'

  • You must leave any sort of name or nickname for us to address you by. Even initials will do. This is for clarity when I post your prayer requests, and also to address you in our prayers.

  • I will reply to your prayer request by posting my prayers for you. Others can send in their prayers as well.

  • I would also appreciate it if you could follow-up with us and let us know about whether your situation has improved or not, and how.


You can also post any general prayers that you have.

  2. Prayer Request

    Drainpiper , i feel like crying. Okay, i am. Right now, i am so upset about something at work. It hurts when people turn out to be so different from who I thought they were.. And being misunderstood makes me feel like.. :( These few months thats all I have been - Misunderstood - I am actually amazed at how everything I do or say seems to go horribly wrong somehow. And people do these seemingly harmless things that lands me in the most awkward situations. I am shocked at the double standards of people at work, the backstabbing ...and people acting like so immature..and yet I am the one left feeling dumb. I know its like that at most places. But when it completely ruins my chances at some good thing that had a possibility of happening ..I am so deflated..and sad.

    While I sit there feeling dazed and amazed I feel like suchh a naive little girl !! I come across as such no doubt . Ugh! And I hate that feeling!

    The one main thing that Krishna says in the Gita , about doing your best and not desiring the results..Wow thats hard! Not material things, but I still find it hard to accept that when it comes to people ! I wish Krishna was real , like really here real :( and would just be my friend for once. I havent felt close to Krishna in ages. I wish people like him existed now . I can never be annoyed at him..or blame him . I believe that what we get depends on our past karma and on our reactions to life . I kind of wish I was different so that at least the second part would make me feel worthwile and happy about myself.

    Thanks for listening and can you please pray to Krishna to just tell me what I want and who I am,coz I freaking dont know! I am SO thankful for everything he has blessed me with in this life..so many things that I take for granted..but I would love some clarity right now.
    I am going to have such fun crying myself to sleep tonight!! Yay!

  3. Oh Krishna! When will that day come where I can serve you with pure love? When will the time come where I can have your personal audience? When will the moment come where I can rest my head on your shoulder and truly mean it when I say "I love you."? When will the day come where I feel spiritual bliss always, when I no longer feel agitated, nor pleased, in material affairs? Krishna, when will I be worthy of your friend? All are dependent on you. Please, listen to the crying heart of this helpless soul. Help her reach you. Please, Krishna. You are the most merciful, the most generous. The most compassionate, the most caring... the perfect one. Please lift up this imperfect soul out of the murky depths of dire life, into your auspicious service. When I remember your pastimes, I can't help but feel spiritual bliss in seeing the pure love, faith and trust that the inhabitants of Vrindavana have in you. And my heart yearns to be there with you, Krishna, when you came to enlighten many fallen souls. Please, do the same with me. I desire a friend. I've had a few friends, and none have ever won my trust. You can do anything, therefore I request you humbly to not only win my trust, but my love as well. You stole butter from the gopis - please, steal my heart, Krishna. I crave to see you, and be with you. When will the time come, where you will quench my unquenchable thirst for love? Only you can do it. Please do so, Krishna. Please.
