Can someone please pray for me I have been struggling with trusting the Lord, overcoming anxiety and the things of the world and I just want to have a good relationship with God again. Thank you if you prayed for me

[@Sofia.Besada]

Hi. My name is Sofia Besada. Thank you so much for saving my life and bringing me closer to Jesus. I have known about Jesus all my life because my family is really religious. Last December when I was saved from severe anxiety and panic attacks and back pain. The pain was unbearable so I prayed that the pain will be gone and in one day it was gone. That was when I decided that I wanted to follow Jesus. "Girls Gone Bible" has really changed my life and has brought me closer to Jesus. You and Arielle have saved and helped me in so many ways. I could never thank you and Jesus to save my life. God bless you.

I can only imagine the ego challenges that Pastors face when they are continuously told from church members, "what an amazing service today," "the message was great," "you really spoke to me this service," and the like. Let's pray for our Pastors so they remain grounded! I'm sure they appreciate it :)

[@Gabriellamariaaa]

hey ang and ari, i say this as someone who has been watching you two from the beginning; as well as from the understanding of how hard and heavy this walk can be.. not to mention how much harder it may be for you both in the things you both have been given to steward and do (i can only imagine how heavy that may feel sometimes). so with all of my heart i first and foremost want to say thank you for putting your heart on the line in every. single. podcast. in e v e r y t h i n g you do; you both are so clearly selfless and living FOR Jesus. it’s so dang beautiful and inspiring. i literally pray to Jesus “please help me love you and your word the way Angela and Arielle do”. you two are the best mentors ever! but anyway, i just wanted to say that i am so dang proud of you both. for all that you do and for the way you do it! it takes so much to be where you are, to do what you do, and i just want to acknowledge that! i am nothing but He is everything, so i don’t know how much it means to hear that i am proud of you both.. but i hope that it just lifts you both. you have both done so much for me and for so many, and i only want to pay it back/forward. i pray this encourages you both. i love you guys. love, Gab

I just want to say, I love the message you are spreading. I usually listen to your podcasts, but I came here so I could comment my prayer. My brother, Seth, was in a fatal car accident and died about 4 months ago. He was my only sibling and I just need prayers for my whole family. We are struggling so much, and I just pray we can all grieve through God and not in unhealthy ways. I pray for patience and understanding as we are dealing with the trauma during this time. ❤ thank you. God bless anyone who reads this.

[@dontlookatmyaccount5113]

Prayed for you :”) Be blessed, and encouraged that the God of the hilltops is also the God of the (often dark) valleys. He is working- see psalm 139, and Romans 8 🫶 Don’t take this hardship as a sign that God has left you or that he’s no longer in control. Also when you feel discouraged and like you wanna give up, read Hebrews 12, as the author writes to an audience who also felt like giving up coz of the struggles and persecution etc. Thus, be encouraged that the struggles and feelings you’re facing is valid, but to walk with God in it. ❤️
