tunesmyth(NOTE: This is an old version of the list. All new prayer requests should be left at the most recent Prayer List post, which can be found here)
Here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared at ecosophia.net and ecosophia.dreamwidth.org, as well as in the comments of the prayer list posts. Please feel free to add any or all of the requests to your own prayers.
If I missed anybody, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom a relevant person holds power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below.
HOUSEKEEPING NOTE
As it will shortly be 40 days since the passing of both Open Space's great-aunt and Boccaccio's friend A, this will be the last week that they appear on the list. Also, both Sylvia the cat and Jedi the cat have been reported to be better for some weeks now, so I have decided to take them off of the list; may they remain healty and lead fulfilling lives onward into the future.
I have been rather lax about enforcing my "Prayers only stay on the list for four weeks unless re-upped" rule, but I've been starting to feel that the list is getting a bit unwieldy with old prayers which it's not clear are even needed any longer. Starting next week, any entry that's been on the list for over four weeks without any communication private or public might be removed. Ultimately, I want to help people, so I will be lenient; in cases where I am in doubt, I will do a one-card tarot draw to help me decide. Nonetheless, please be warned, and if you wish your prayer to continue and you haven't checked in lately, I encourage you to do so!
SOME GUIDELINES
When making a prayer request, it helps out a lot if you can be specific about what you would like people to pray for on your behalf. Most helpful of all is if you can write the wording of your prayer request yourself, in the third person. See the prayer list below for many examples of how to word prayers. That said, if you don't do this, I will endeavor to craft the wording of your prayer in the spirit of your wishes.
If you are someone who has made a prayer request, status updates are appreciated but not required!
There is no limit to how long someone may remain on the list, but as a general rule (with exceptions at my own discretion), I will remove entries from the list after four weeks unless the prayer requester "re-ups" the prayer request.
There are no limitations to what you may request prayers for, provided that it is on behalf of yourself, a personal acquaintance, or a group or place to which you are personally connected; and that consent for prayers has been obtained from the relevant parties. Also, I want to make clear that there is no "purity test" for who is included on the list. Of course anyone may pick and choose who to pray for. My own philosophy is that regardless of our own faults and merits, we are all of us beings who can use a little divine help sometimes; it is up to the divine, and not us, to decide which prayers will be answered.
It probably goes without saying, but I will reject any prayer requests that fall outside what I consider to be the bounds of moral responsibility. (This has not yet happened.)

This week I would like to bring special attention to a few prayer requests.
Nichole Cardillo has a cancerous tumor in her duodenum (in her small intestine) and she's going into surgery on May 1st to try to remove it; for a successful surgery that completely removes the cancer, and for blessings, protection, and a full return to health.
Patricia Mathew's friend Al (Alison Kulp) is in the hospital with a nasty life-threatening MRSA infection; please play for her to be blessed, protected, and completely healed as soon as is possible. (Update here.)
Luke Dodson's friend B, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and is still in serious condition though she's already had surgery; for blessing, protection, healing, and a full return to health.
Lp9's request on behalf of their hometown, East Palestine Ohio, for the safety and welfare of their people and all living beings in the area. The details coming out are still caught in the fog of war (Lp9 gives a short update here, and says "things are a bit... murky"), and various claims of catastrophe and non-catastrophe are flying about, but the reasonable possibility seems to exist that this is an environmental disaster on par with the worst America has ever seen. At any rate, it is clearly having a devastating impact on the local area, and prayers are certainly warranted.
* * *
If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.
Now, here is the current list.
