(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.

This week I would like to bring special attention to the following prayer requests.
shewhoholdstension's 41 year brother Robert died suddenly in bed on May 15th; for a smooth and blessed journey on the other side. Robert was a single dad and he leaves behind three children: Hannah, Zack, and Jordyn; that they and shewhoholdstensions be blessed and protected, and find what comfort they can during this very difficult time.
T.A. ("Epileptic Doomer") has seizures that have been increasing in intensity, and worries about it causing further brain damage and even costing them their job; for blessings, protection, and healing, a reduction of intensity and frequency to the seizures, and for a path for navigating their illness in a way that helps them lead their best possible life.
Patricia Mathew's friend Al (Alison Kulp) is in the hospital with a nasty life-threatening MRSA infection; please pray for her to be blessed, protected, and completely healed as soon as is possible. (Update here.)
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. (Lp9 gives updates here and most recently here, and says "things are a bit... murky"), and 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 still 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.
Guidelines for how long prayer requests stay on the list, how to word requests, how to be added to the weekly email list, how to improve the chances of your prayer being answered, and several other common questions and issues, are now to be found at this link.
Now, here is the current list.

Date: 2023-05-15 10:37 pm (UTC)If it's okay, I'd like to ask if you can put me on the list. I'm having difficulty finding a place for me and my friend to live where I'm moving. It's nothing compared to what some people are going through but it's really difficult to find a place.
Thanks,
Jon

Date: 2023-05-16 11:16 am (UTC)Epileptic Doomer here.
I did not make JMG's cutoff. I guess I should have submitted my prayer request here! I do not want to micromanage the phrasing of anyone's prayers, so what you wrote on Magic Monday :
“T.A. (“Epileptic Doomer”) has seizures that have been increasing in intensity, and worries about it causing further brain damage and even costing them their job; for blessings, protection, and healing, a reduction of intensity and frequency to the seizures, and for a path for navigating their illness in a way that helps them lead their best possible life.”
is just fine.
I consent to any and all prayers and/or healing energies stemming from that prompt wholly and completely.
I would like to say that phrase "even costing them their job" made me chuckle-- shades of "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking" when the previous clause mentions brain damage. Leave it in, by all means! I needed that chuckle, and the gods have a sense of humour, too.
Many thanks for the service you provide here.

Blessings,

Any prayers for his kids and our family would be much appreciated.

Date: 2023-05-16 04:57 pm (UTC)I have also added his children to the list under your sponsorship. Once the question of who their next primary guardian is gets settled, when you have a chance please confirm with them that these prayers are okay. I can add more members of your family to the list if you like, but first I shall need to get your confirmation regarding whether they have consented to prayer on their behalf first.
There is no rush on any of this; take care of your business first. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Date: 2023-05-16 06:14 pm (UTC)In my experience --- the experience of others may differ --- it's way, way more effective to pray on behalf of people when certain conditions are met and way less effective when the conditions are not met. The most pertinent is how much the person on the other end appears to me as being a real person. It is always easier to pray on behalf of someone I am close to in my personal life than a total stranger.
For people I "know" through the online world, it's way easier for me to pray on their behalf if I know their actual name and have seen a picture of them so I can better focus my prayers. If I have never interacted with a person, have no clue what they look like, and direct my prayers towards either a pseudonym or initials, I feel that the prayers are way, way more tenuous in reaching the recipient. That doesn't mean that I don't try, I do. But it feels way more like acting in the dark.
My experiences are pretty common: if you put in a prayer request at the Crystal Silence League --- http://crystalsilenceleague.org/public/prayer_input.php?pt=Prayer%20for%20Myself --- they ask for your name, description and even an image. Some of this is optional, but not all. This seems to me pertinent and worthy to bring up for discussion: it appears that the efficacy of prayers are increased when there is a better formulated sense of the person one prays on the behalf of.
This relates to an important magical principle which touches on prayer: one always gets better results the more fully one can throw oneself into the scales. Using initials or pseudonyms and no image of oneself clearly is less involved than using a real name and an image of oneself so that people can better direct prayers. They also ask for one's address, and one's life ambition.
This is, again, my experience and apparently the experience of others. It seems to me worthy to note, though. If one really wants success, it may be worth using one's real first name at least and even considering posting an image of oneself. If one wants others to pray on one's behalf, it may be worth considering doing so with daring and full engagement.

Date: 2023-05-16 07:44 pm (UTC)Right now the move is on hold as we await the delivery of new flooring that is several days late, until the new floor is in and installed we are stuck in limbo (a sad running theme in our lives.
We need this to hurry up so we can get moved and gods willing get a fence up so we can move our pets to the new property.
Thank you everyone.

My friend's brother, David, got in a terrible motorcycle accident and has been diagnosed as a quadriplegic given the resultant spinal damage. Prayers towards healing and the positive outcomes of upcoming surgeries and rehabilitation, specifically towards him being able to walk and live a normal life, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Best,
