Prayer Time with iShine

2,684 Comments

Life can be really difficult to understand. Bad things can happen to good people and if we feel completely lost and alone, we’re easily discouraged. God wants us to share in each others pain and struggles as fellow believers in Christ, He encourages us to share each others burdens and to do so by lifting those needs up to His Father in Heaven for help…As young adults you may feel like there’s nothing much you can do to help change things… but the bible says differently.

“ The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” (James 5: 16 NLT ) Jesus shared with His disciples about praying many times and encourged us all to simply ask in His Name for our needs to be met…

So exercise your faith here… pray about the stuff others have shared ! Go ahead and leave your worries, fears and concerns on this prayer guestbook for others to prayerfully support you. We won’t be able to allow specific full names  or contact information to be posted, but first names and general locations are welcome. Thanks for visiting and remember we Love you guys… iShine!

  • Cathome13

    Please pray for my friend Auburn, she doesn’t know Christ even though she used to go to church. I tell her to keep going, but she doesn’t. She also swears alot and I tell her not to, but she says it’s a bad habit. So, please pray for her, because she is going to the wrong path, thanks everyone!

    • Anonymous

      Dear Cathome13:) We will definitely pray for Auburn that Jesus will win her heart with His love. She is so blessed to have you for a friend and I pray you will be patient and remember 1 Corinthians 13 and think about how Jesus loves us and how you can love your friend even when her behavior is not loveable. iShineMimi

    Man! I just don`t really understand this whole problem in my life but, this helped a little. I just can`t understand it sometimes!!! It`s extremely confusing sometimes and I just don`t think that I can handle it anymore. I hate this pain that I feel. I feel like I`m carrying an enormous weight on my shoulders. I feel like I`m falling and there is no one there to catch me! I`ve been dealing with this for almost two years and I`m sooo sick of it!!!!! Please, if there is anyone out there listening that cares, Pleeease PRAY for me!!!
    Thanks you so much for listening!
    Sincerely, Amy from Russellville, AR
    P.S. You guys are my only hope!(I am only 13yrs old!)

      Dear Amy – I really care about you and everyone here at iShineLIVE cares about you and even greater than that, Jesus cares about you and loves you very much! I am praying for you today that God will bring you a friend who loves Him and that can encourage you! It would be good if you told your parents or pastor what you are feeling. I think about Psalm 23 today and it would be very good for you to read that if you have a Bible. iShineMimi

    • Cathome13

      Dear Amy,

      I know what it feels like to be confused about waht goes on in life, I actually have been dealing with it a lot lately. I feel like no one cares, and everything I do makes everyone mad. But, thats not the truth, because i know what God cares. I hope you do too :) Just keep praying, and keep faith in everything you do :)

      I know how you feel, at the age of 10, 11 I felt the same way. But you know, it made me stronger. God has not forgotten you, never has and never will. He’s Jehovah Shammah, He listening to you, He El Roi, He sees you now, He is here, He is your companion, He’s Jehovah Shammah, don’t hold it all inside give it all to Christ! You think no one listens to you, well Im telling you there is One, You think no one feels your feels pain, well He felt it all! You think no one cares for you, Well, Im telling you there is One, and He’s Jesus Christ!!!! 
      Don’t give up, keep holding on and trusting in Jesus Christ, He has not forgotten you, never has and never will.
      Read Psalm 139
      God Bless, You will be lifted up in prayer

      I know how you feel I just turned 14 and for the past 2 years someone has been mean to me and then recently I felt like I am not important and I cant do anything right and that I am not important to anyone. I found a verse in the Bible and it tells us that we are Peculiar Treasures that helped me alot just remember God is always there. He goes through whatever we go through.

    Boy that is a hard one Glo Asihene! This morning I heard someone speak about that in the Bible from Luke 6. It is a good chapter to read and ask Jesus to give you those things in your heart – we can’t really change our hearts but He can. Hope this helps. Thank you for coming to the Guestbook:) iShineMimi

      I am so sorry Musicfan that you are having a really hard time! There are a lot of voices out there callling to us but they are not all truth. When I have those times I take some time to be alone with God and read some of my favorite scriptures – like Psalm 119 – because God’s word is truth and we can trust Him! I am praying for you and remember that Jesus never leaves you and He does not abandon you, no matter what you feel like! iShineMimi

I could not sleep at all last night.I DID sleep alittle.Mabey 2 hours. I cant stand it any more!!!!!!!! Caramel was here for atleast 24 weeks and DIED!!!!:( PLEASE,PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!! I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT MY POOR CARAMEL!!

  • Ireane

    Why wont my mom and dad let me have a phone,play with some old friends,have my own room, have a twitter acount,get to have a blog,etc. I cant stand it!! They treat me like a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!! I DONT WANT TO BELIEVE IN god IF HE WONT LET ME DO STUFF THAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is it!!! I am Running AWAY FOREVER!!!!!SAY A REPLY AND THEN I AM NEVER GETTING ON HERE AGAIN!!!! I am never getting MYYYYYY! WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! SICK OF IT!!!!!!!

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Ireane, growing up can be VERY hard. As you get older and your opinions stronger it’s not uncommon for your feelings to conflict with your parents. Hang in there, it won’t be like this forever and God has a lot to share with you in the process. He often uses parents to teach us about Himself. Sounds to me like your parents care for you a great deal and are simply trying to protect you. It may be super aggravating, but in the end you might find you agree? Peace to you today.

    • Josiah Castellanos

      Our way is not the best. Having a twitter, facebook, or blog may be fun and “look” safe, but in reality, sometimes there are people out there to harm us, and sometimes bad things can pop up and expose us to some nasty stuff. Best thing for us to do is to trust and obey our parents for they have know best.  Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.God knows best and desires all of you. He wants your heart, your mind, your life, your all. This does not mean you can’t have a facebook or have somethings that everyone else has, but there are somethings that God can not allow. Like drinking, drugs, stealing, lying, etc… God gave us rules to live by through The Ten Commandments and His Word, The Bible. Rules not to hinder us or keep us from fun, but to keep us safe and strengthen us and get us closer to Him. What fun is there in being so drunk you can’t think straight, or so high you do dumb harmful things. God says…

      Jhn 16:24″Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.1Pe 1:8whom having not seen [fn] you love. Though now you do not see [Him], yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,God’s joy is like NOTHING like this world can give. I would be down 
      sometimes and turn to T.V. or games,instead of God. Every time I 
      was not satisfied. The ONLY THING that DID,was GOD, JESUS CHRIST!!!

      God also commands us to be different, not EVERY new thing is good. 
      One thing I suggest to you is test whether it is good or not.Phl 4:8¶Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
      Imagine if EVERYONE ON THE PLANET was like you, IN EVERY WAY! Would be boring. God made us unique creations, different from anything else He has made. Sin, or the wrong things we have done, destroys that, for

      Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      So, sin conforms us into this mold. By trusting in God, reading His word, and living like Him, God breaks that mold in our lives so we are not trapped in this mold of sin. 

      Please let God show you His pure love, lasting peace, and TRUE JOY!!!! 

    • Hannah P

      I know how you feel but they are doing it to protect you. They may not want you to play with some of your old friends because they might be a bad influence I dont have a phone either and I am 13 most of my friends do but I dont give it a little bit of time

  • Hannah

    Please Pray for me. Having hard times with the whole dead Caramel stuff.

  • Glo Asihene

    iShine,
    It’s halloween today and all of my life I couldnt go trick or treating. my mom says im not allowed to and all day at schoo, people always ask me…. watcha gonna be for halloween? and i always just say i dont know yet. but i do know and thats nothing im not allowed to celebrate halloween and my friend wants me to go trick or treating with her but i cant. i really want to though….
    What should I do?
    -Glo Asihene

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Asihene, God wants us to “honor” and “respect” our parents. Regardless of your feelings on Halloween, the bigger picture is learning to trust your parents direction for you. When you are an adult, you will get to decide for yourself on the best way to handle this holiday. Many Christian parents are uncomfortable with celebrating Halloween due to its pagan roots. As a kid, my parents wouldn’t let me either. I survived. So will you. Hang in there and trust God!

      • Glo Asihene

        Thank you iShine

    • Josiah Castellanos

      I felt the same way, My friends talked about what they were. I would try to explain why i didn’t celebrate it, but we would just argue. I say ever when we feel left, stay strong in your convictions! We know in our hearts that halloween is not right, so we should not celebrate it. 

    • http://twitter.com/sophilc29 Sophi Laurin

      Hey Glo Asihene :) Sorry this is such a late reply, but I understand how you feel. To tell you the truth, I hate Halloween. In my family we dont celebrate and think about dark things and halloween, we just celebrate that its fall and that God has once again made the colors of the trees change and the leaves fall. Just as the trees wither and die to become alive and beautiful again in the spring, it reminds us of how Jesus died for us and rose from the grave. So even as you cant go tricker-treating, remember to celebrate that God has brought us a beautiful fall season this year. Your mom is only trying to keep you from all the evil in this world. I mean if Jesus wouldn’t celebrate Halloween why should we?

  • gods girl

    i am just going through a hard time please pray for me.

    Hi Dancingshay96:) I am praying for you right now that you will trust Jesus with your whole heart and let Him come into your life. It is between you and God and I just think about in the book of Revelation chapter 3 verse 20 that He is standing at the door knocking, just waiting for you to invite Him in. It is a matter of believing Him and trusting Him, not trying to change yourself. iShineMimi

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    So sad but true… You guys have a chance to change all of that for your generation… you can SHINE with God’s love and grace. PEACE

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Shugo_chara3469, that’s a tough one. Friends and Families can be difficult to mix, but God can handle it. Respecting your parents while being a faithful friend is a fine line, be careful to consider what your family are saying, and consider if God wants you to gently suggest to your BFF that she might want to consider some different ways to behave in your home… ? We’ll trust that God will give you wisdom. AMEN

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    mclamoremarquis, God is already by your side. It only takes one step to be back with Him. For help in keeping close to God… consider taking time every day in the word to hear His thoughts for your day. Your problems, failures, frustrations and life can never keep you away from the love of God or His desire to be near you NO MATTER WHAT!

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Dancingshay96, Jesus wants you to trust Him enough to follow Him for your entire life. Being a Christian, means to “follow” Him. To be like Him. Something we can’t do in our own will power, it takes the transformation of our hearts to become “like” Him and it’s a process that only “Begins” with accepting Jesus as your “Lord” and “Savior”. That in essence can only be done with a sincere desire to surrender your own will for His, and a understanding and acceptance that you can never be “good” enough to earn your own way to Heaven. If you sincerely believe those things about God and yourself, you need to prayerful request for God to become your number one. Once you genuinely ask, you will recieve His gift of salvation. The swearing will not be a problem after that… :) You should seek out a youth worker, parent or older friend to share this news with. Its the MOST IMPORTANT decision you will ever make and it will change you life FOREVER. Literally. Bless you as you move forward on this first step in the journey of faith. You won’t regret taking the risk to trust in Jesus. Email us at info@ishinelive.com if you need more information or help. Blessings to you !

    Please pray for my 15 year old daughter Lexi.  She was in a near drowning on May 16, 2010 (13 yrs old at the time) she was found dead on scene but after working on her 10minutes after arrival in ER they found a pulse.  God has brought her this far and we know He has a plan for her life.  We are about to take a trip to the Hyperbaric Chambers to help force oxygen to the dormant parts of her brain.  We are and have been believing for a miracle… please pray with me that God be with us on this leg of our journey that we get the miracle we have been praying for and that we touch many lives and plant seeds for HIS Harvest every where we go. To God be the Glory.

      We do pray for your dear daughter Lexi… “Jesus, intervene in your perfect way and in your perfect will for the life of this dear 15 year old girl. Her life is in your hands and her recovery remains in your hands. Please guide the recovery of her whole body as her family seeks your favor for her health and restoration and renewal.

        I have a question. What don’t you say “In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen”? I was wondering because in the Bible Jesus says to pray in His name.

        • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

          Its only a matter of custom and familiarity. Praying in Jesus name can be noted at the begining or end of a request… like any conversation you might have with God.

          • Teenoffaith777

            Okay, thank you!

      She was the little girl who ran away? I am SO SORRY!!!!!!!! Her family must be so upset. :( I’m praying!!! ♥

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Kako15love, feel free to email me directly at info@ishinelive.com if you need some help for your friends. That’s a pretty serious concern, they may need to get some help and you may need to let your parents know as soon as possible….not a good thing to try and handle on your own.

  • Nicole

    Sweet! I knew there had to be another home schooled iShine fan out there! :)

    Thank you so much, Cathome! I really appreciate your prayers! ♥

  • Nicole

    I’ll pray… I’ve always wanted to go to Washington DC, too! :D

    Don’t worry, if God wants you to go to Washington, He will find a way for you to!  

    Have you thought about doing something to make some money? You could wash people’s cars, mow their lawns, or run errands for them. With God’s help, you just might be able to make enough money to go! 

  • Josiah Castellanos

    Don’t worry, your mom loves you and will miss you! And ask God to help you and to keep you safe. God can help you to get along with your mom’s friend if you ask Him! Asked God to help you not to worry. Praise Him in your weakness and read His Word for strength!

        Hey, umm this is my opinion, I think you should not cut yourself off of your friend, but share to him the Truth of Jesus Christ! Prayer is good, but would Jesus cut off a friendship or share the Truth? I pray that God would give you the courage and words to speak. May God use you to lead him to Salvation of Jesus Christ! Don’t be sacred to share your faith. If a subject or word is spoken that is wrong, give the view point of Jesus Christ to him, but don’t beat him with a Bible, just share what the Bible says with God’s Love. In all do pray for him, prayer is your best way of helping him. FOR GOD ANSWERS PRAYER!!! If he gets upset about something you say, just pray for him, for God to open his eyes to the truth!

    I love you guys!!!Everytime I’m in a bad mood I look up one of the iShine bands or singer! You guys just have some way of making me feel like I do belong in the world even when people have gotten me down and made me feel like I dont belong.
    I have recently become freinds with a guy named Nick.I thought that we could be really good freinds.He started to show his true colors and started to say not so good of words:P I didnt know if I should be a witness to him or stop talking to him.I listened to almost all of iShines songs, and decided to stop talking to him and pray for him as much as I can!
    I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you for everything that you do<3

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Hang in there Litka, God is at work in all our lives and part of that is learning to trust Him for our relationships. Friendships that are real will endure the up’s and down’s of our lives. Many will fail and all of us blow it from time to time, Jesus will NEVER let you down and Jesus ALWAYS understands what your feeling, struggling with and just down about. In the middle of your day, take the time to just tell Jesus about your frustrations and fears and confusion. He will show up ! I promise :)

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Asihene, Hang in there. I’m sure having your mom away is a huge strain on you and your family. I’m not sure how old “Auntie Ama” is, but if she is getting frustrated with you, it wouldn’t hurt to share this with another adult you trust in your life. A pastor, or teacher or friend. Maybe get their perspective on this. Praying for God to help resolve the problem would be where I would start and ask for help second. Third, your mom gets to come home sooner than you thought. HOPEFUL for you.

  • Shugo_chara3469

    can someone please help me or give me advice? right now i really hate my mom, she yells at me for everything even if its over nothing. like for example, i said i was going to do my laundry and she started yelling at me. i get good grades and act as responsible as i can so its not like i’m a spoiled teenager that never studies. i know that in the bible it says to obey your parents and trust me i have been since day one. its just that i cant take my mom yelling at me 24/7. and the worst thing is that if someone yells at me i cry and i cant help it. my mom yells at me even more if she sees me crying, so to not cry infront of her i scratch myself, hard. so i can focus on the pain more then my emotions and urge to cry. i just want help before i cut myself really bad. please reply as soon as possible

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Shugo, my heart hurts for you when I read this request. I’m so sorry that you feel like your only way to deal with the pain and frustration in your life is to cut yourself to get relief. I know that may seem like an option to help you deal with it, but there is a much better way. My strong encouragement is for you to write down your feelings and ask a friend or parent of a trusted friend maybe a pastor or a youth leader to read it before you share it with your mom. I’m asking for you to get some help with this and not try and deal with it on your own. Your mom may respond in a much different way if you write out your thoughts and prayerfully ask for God to help you in this seemingly hopeless situation. I predict that your mother will react better than you ever hoped and that she will have more concern for your health than anger at your actions. To be safe, include a trusted adult in the process. Female youth leader or married pastors are best :)
      “Jesus, we ask for Shugo to find her encouragement and peace in you alone and for you to send her comfort and strength to deal with the pain in her life. We ask for favor with her mom to hear her heart and for help from a mature leader in her life to talk with her mom, in Jesus name AMEN”.

          God is ALWAYS there for you, Shugo. No matter what, He is always there. You are NEVER alone! 
          “He (God) will never leave you, nor forsake you.”"When your mother or father forsake you, I (God) will comfort you.”-Those are a couple quotes that I heard once. I use them to comfort myself when I’m feeling really lonely, sad, or forgotten. Which is quite often, really. They help me remember that GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE ME! And He’ll always love YOU, too! Never forget that!

          I’m glad you are feeling happier now. Journal writing has helped me a LOT over the years, too. Usually, if I write down all my feelings in a journal, I don’t feel so frustrated with the world anymore. I’m glad it works for you, too. :)

          Remember, your mom does love you. We love you. God loves you! You are gonna get through this!!!

    Good Morning, Glo Asihene:) My guess would be that he is trying to protect you – that’s what Dads do. And there is also the matter of timing – the day may come when he can explain to you. In the meantime, trust him and trust Jesus who sees all that is going on. It is frustrating I know to be kept in the dark, be patient and put Jesus first in all you do and you will be a light out there:) iShineMimi

      But how is he trying to protect me? I dont get it…I know he loves me but why? I feel forgoten.

        Glo Asihene, I don’t know what your dad is doing, but I am SURE he has a perfectly good reason for not telling you. Just trust that he knows what’s best for you. He may tell you someday, but for now, just remember that he does love you. 
        Son’t feel forgotten. There is Someone who will never, ever forget you… God. And I’m sure your dad won’t either. 
        You said you know that your dad loves you… so you can trust that he does.

    Dear Lydia G:) You know I love chapter 11 in Hebrews because it talks about that very thing. God knew we would have times of doubt and so He wants us to know it does not depend on our feelings but how faithful He is! God cannot lie and Jesus proved His love for us when He went to the cross for us – it is real and it is true – but our feelings go up and down and I do understand that. I pray you have an awesome Christmas celebrating Jesus’ birthday! iShineMimi

    Hi Ishine!

    I have been a fan of Ishine Knect since day 1 ( cant remember the year)- I was going through channel guide for the next day when I saw a brand new show with a sorta weird name J But, hey, I loved it! I am so excited to see how this ministry has grown- I feel like I have grown with it. Most importantly, ishine has helped me to grow in my faith and in my walk with the Lord. I used to be one of what the Bible calls “ lukewarm believers”. That is shaky ground to be on! Now He truly is my best friend. The friend that sticks closer than a brother. One of my lifetime friends, who doesn’t have the Bible believing parents I do, was going down the road of destruction, BIG TIME! Before I moved, I introduced her to Ishine, hoping it would do for her what it did for me. I went back there for a visit when she showed me her iPod. Where there used to be vulgar songs, there are now all IShine songs!! SO EXCITED!! Praise God! Also I have a little miracle story to share. I was having a skin condition on my face that I never had before. It frustrated me to no end. SO bad I had to miss church! I prayed and prayed for healing. Well, one morning, I turned on the 700 Club like I usually do @ 9 am. Then I had to do something so I turned it off. But something told me to go back and turn it on. So I did and it happened to be the part where Pat Robertson and Kristi pray and have words of knowledge. I just watched when all of a sudden Kristi said, “ There is someone out there, you have an itchy face condition that is uncomfortable, just know God is going to heal that!” I screamed and cried “ Thank you Lord” a gazillion times!! 2 days later now, my face is almost completely healed! This is a condition I have had for weeks! Just wanted to share the power of God with you. May God bless you and your wonderful ministry. I love it ( even if it is for the 8 to 13 year old crowd, which I am above)!

    In Christ,
    Sarah

    Tell your sister not to give up. She CAN be a musician!

    Both Paige Armstrong and Jamie Grace Harper had illnesses before they were musicians. Did they let it stop them? No! Look at them now! They are on TV!

    Tell her not to lose hope! There is ALWAYS hope!! 

    Dear God, please bless Chauni’s little sister. Give her the hope, courage, faith, and strength to get through this, and to live her dreams as a musician.
    Heal her body, dear Lord. 

    Amen.

    Glo Ashihene, my dad and mom gave me lots of “spankings” when i got in trouble. I’m confident that God provide you with Justice in the family and as you try to be patient… trust that God will be your “advocate” that means defender. He will make sure that your parents find out about your sister’s actions that you may be getting blamed for. Our recommendation is for you to share that truth with God and watch as He will make it right in time.

      natasha – Arguing is a problem most of have from time to time, hang in there. Living our your faith is a “process” not something that just happens instantly. Part of the power of Christianity, is our humility. Admitting your weakness may in fact be a stronger witness than trying to live without any. “Lord, help natasha as she seeks to live out her faith with patience and compassion on others and give her your perspective on her life in the process. In Jesus name we pray. Amen”

And for God to send you encouragement and a renewed connection with your church. IN Jesus Name we ask this. AMEN.

    Alexpot 28; We’ll stand with you in faith and prayer. Your frustrations are common to us all. Following after Jesus is a huge process, a life-long one in fact…. Paul wrote the church in Colossians 1:11- 14 these words almost two thousand years ago…. but it’s as true today for you, as it was for him when we wrote them. “11 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, 12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. 13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. ” AMEN.

  • Arielle Wren

    Okay this is more for my friend than for me. You see I have this friend and a couple of years ago her dad was in the army and he went to Afghanistan and cheated on her mom and basically her whole family and now my friend has to spend time with him and she doesn’t want to spend time with him. I remember her telling me that she hated him and her new step mom and I can’t really imagine how that must feel for her but I told her she needs to forgive him. She told me that she wasn’t going to forgive him because she felt like if she did he would take advantage of the situation and think that what he did was okay and I know that the Bible says that God will forgive you when you forgive others and yourself and I know that this life is all about God and I know that you can’t have a relationship with God with that kind of mind set that doesn’t obey His word. So I guess what I am asking is that you pray for her and her family. She has three brothers and her mom is a single mom. Please pray that she just realizes that it is very important for her forgive him and I know that even when others pray for her that it all comes to her to decide to forgive him, but I know God answers prayers. So please pray for her and also please pray for me that I am able to get where she is coming from and bring her to Christ. Her name is Rachel and my name is Arielle.

    Please, please, please pray for me. I have a test in school tomorrow, and I’m really nervous about it. Almost all I’ve been doing all day is studying for it, but I’m still really worried. Because yesterday morning, my teacher gave us a long list of things to have memorized by tomorrow!! And I’m so nervous about it!
     I’m just making myself sick over this. I’ve had a lot of tests before, so I don’t know why I’m so nervous about this one. Please pray for me not to get too nervous and to do well!!!! Because I’m so nervous about it! :(

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Nicole, we’re trusting that God has helped you with your test today and in the future, knowing that He is the faithful and just to provide grace and mercy to help us in our time of need. Don’t forget to study :) “God, help Nicole with her fear and remind her of your presence by her side, in any situation… including stressful exams, in Jesus name we pray. Amen”

  • Meisha Hubbard

    I’d really like some prayer right now. So, when I was two I had this blood disease and it caused me have a lot of random bruises that I would get from doing nothing. If the doctors and my parents hadn’t realized this in time, I probably would’ve gotten leukemia. Now, thirteen years later at fifteen, I’m getting random bruises that I didn’t even know I got. I would really appreciate some prayer that it isn’t this disease coming back. Thanks so much.

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Meisha, we’ll pray for you! “God we ask for your healing touch in Meisha’s life right now, for your strength and grace to flow in her body, her mind and her heart. We ask for you to direct her and her family to the best treatments or care she needs and as always Lord we ask for you to divinely heal her body in your time and in your way so that you get the glory. in Jesus name we pray… AMEN”

    iShine,
    My two friends, Vanessa and Nataliegh are fighting (not physically) and Vanessa doesnt like Nataliegh at all. Vanessa doesn’t want me to talk to Nataliegh, but they are both my bestest friends.
    What should I do?
    -Glo Asihene

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Unfortunately this is a very common issue in life. Caught between two we love or like and they are aggressively resistant to each other. I only can suggest that you share openly with each about your angst. Of the desire to be both of their friends and the need you have for them to both be respectful of your wishes. Encourage them to ask God how He would have them act…. don’t tell them what you think they should do. Seriously ask them to consider praying privately and ask God what they should do about their situation. Stand back and watch God help them forgive and forget. Blessings… and thanks for sharing. LOTS of kids have this struggle and so do your parents !

      Lord I come to you on behalf of Tianna. Lord I thank you that she is blessed, and help her to Know that the missing link in her life is in her heart–Jesus. Jesus will always fill that missing part of you and he is always there for you. Whenever you’re feeling rejected or outcast or like no one cares, or like something is missing, know that Jesus can take it all away and fill the gap. –Hannah

    You really can’t get away from that sadness can you?
    I know how you feel…
    my grandparents got in a car wreck when I was 12…
    it was a hard time for me and my family…
    they didn’t die but my nana almost did 3 times,
    and we don’t know when she will pass now..
    I’ll get to the point!
    my nana is in a bed all day and all night all because of
    me.
    I live with that everyday!
    it’s hard but I just…

      Hi, Adiel. Whatever people are saying to you, they just want to make you feel bad and lose your faith! you don’t want that, do you? if you don’t try to ignore them. they aren’t telling you this because they mean it, their saying it because they are jealous or something. it’s confussing, but you’ll get it i hope. hope this helps,

    How do u know if u really do know if u have a true friend?

    • Sabrina

      A true friend stays with you at all times. No matter how tough they are. They really care and want to help you. They don’t back down because they think they can’t handle i all. Hope this helps,
      ~Sabrina

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Katrina.. a true friend “loves at all times”… will give up their life for you, that doesn’t mean they necessarily jump in front of a bus for you, but they would put your desires ahead of their own…. it takes time to find this out. Be patience and watch as those you hang out with, keep their word and act consistently as a loyal and considerate friend. If they remain that way for a long time… you most likely have found a TRUE friend. Blessings from iShine !

  • Glo Asihene

    iShine,
    I have a violin audition, sick cat, AND a science project coming up. There are these two really mean girls in my neighborhood who used to be my friends. They’re always distracting me and being rude and way too proud. I don’t want them to make me not beable to take care of my cat, not practice for auditions, or do my science fair project. I want to tell them, but I’m too scared and I don’t want to be rude and say something that I’ll proboaly regret.
    What should I do?
    -Glo Asihene

    • Sabrina

      I will pray for you. And to your ex-friends, they just need to get a grip. If I were you, I’d be like, “Don’t you have better things to do?”. It’s not rude, it’s the truth. Even Paige Armstrong said it on a iShine episode. Don’t be afraid to step up to your enemies. Don’t forget, GOD wants us to love all our neighbors, no matter how mean they are :) Hope this helps,
       ~Sabrina

  • Sabrina

    Never give up, never surrender, never forgot GOD is with you. GOD is the light, the truth, and the path. He will never leave you behind nor will He let you stray.  HE did not make you so that you would go and start something then never finish it. He made you to spread His word. He made you to reach for your goals. He made you to be yourself and be beautiful just the way you are. He made you to help those in need and to raise your hand with those who need you. Pray without ceasing. And don’t forget, ‘For GOD so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’-John 3:16 Also, never forget, ‘You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.’-Mark 10:27
     This is for those who need strength at times.

    wow… well, i’m no expert on this. is this a dream you had? or is it your dream? if your dream is to marry him, this could just be you dreaming what it could be like. hope this helps and plz answer the questions :)
    ~Sabrina
    P.S.-Hope your toe gets better. what happened anyways?

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Sierra, not sure if there is a huge symbolic meaning in your dream, but it could be as simple as God telling you at 15 years of age, your not ready to get married yet, but there will be a time later in your life. Whomever you end up marrying, the presence of the Church is a huge role in your relationship and the support of your pastor and friends in your decision is another great facet of your dream. Don’t assume that this is a definitive confirmation of you marrying this young man, but rather be content in knowing that when the time is right for you, your home church and pastor and parents will all be agreed on who and when and where :) Blessings from iShine

    Dear Ishine, Sometimes I feel so alone. I am made fun of at school and then when I get home I am put down because between me and my other siblings I am the only one who is really trying to move farther in my relationship with Christ and they don’t like it because sometimes I exclude myself from them. What should I do? How do I know when God is speaking to me? How do I know when its not me in my head telling me that “I love you”. I feel so confused. Sometimes I feel like I am not Christian because every time a temptation comes up I find myself not enduring it. When you receive Christ are you going to hear hear him talk to you as if he was right there? 
    I don’t know if any of what I just said made sense but if you get any part of it at all can you help me? I just don’t know what to do? I feel like if I can’t have a relationship with God then whats the point of anything? I need some understanding. I have become disrespectful to my parents, found myself not acknowledging authority and I have spent countless amount of hours just trying to think of what to do with myself because when I pray I don’t hear anything back or if I do I can’t tell if it is God or me answering my questions and prayers. Pleeeaaaasssseeeee help me. I feel so lost.

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Hang in there… God does speak to us, but usually it is through others, in His word or by a great sense of Peace. Always respect others regardless of how they react to your faith. Especially parents! So, be careful to spend time in the word regularly and look for specific verses that might have special meaning for your situation or prayers. I use the dailyaudiobible.com site to listen or read along for free! We’ll be praying and so will a lot of others. Most of us all struggle with this issue from time to time…be sure and give God some space in your life to respond… Turn off the tv & phone & computer for 15-30 min a day and read & pray & listen! He will show up… I promise

      Hi, Martha Fileto :) . If you haven’t already, you should tell a teacher or adult. Also, you can pray. God is always there, even if a adult isn’t. If adults don’t do anything, still pray and also you have GOT to tell your parents. They will certainly help you. Is this a problem at school? Hope this helps.

Check it out & ask God to help you through the dark days! I know we all struggle with depression, so ask your family & friends for help as well… Don’t allow yourself to tackle it all on your own! Thanks for being real & sharing ! Peace & grace to you in Jesus name.

    Rachel, God is amazing at reconciliation ! That means one of his favorite things to do is help people in broken relationships be restored! So pray for God to give you patience until the time is right for you & your family. Be at peace & trust that He will show you a way!

    @4bb3e3bb5e03f70bb18bbcfb7ec21063:disqus , I was pretty depressed about a lot of things last year.

    Dear,ishine there is this girl in my class at school her name is Samantha and she is really really really really REALLY mean she will say bad words at me and lots and lots of other really mean stuff what should I do?????????? I tried telling the teacher sometimes but that will not work

    • Sabrina

      Hi, Lindsey :) God is always there, so try praying. Also, tell your parent/parents. If no one is around, God is. He’s always gunna be there. Your parents will always help you and your teacher is supposed to. If your teacher doesn’t do anything, ask your parents to send in a note or call the school. But most importantly, PRAY. Hope this helps! :)
      ~SABRINA

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Hang in there Lindsey, part of everyone’s life includes living with unhappy and unkind people. Most likely this mean girl is hurting very badly and needs a friend. Praying for her, will change everything. It will mean you can forgive and trust God to fix this, deep down in your heart and God will give you peace and wisdom on how to handle her behavior…but most significantly, God will give you patience and love for her despite the way she is treating you. Watch, as soon as you genuinely pray for her, God will show up and change the entire situation. We’ll be praying for you to have the strength to let Go and Let GOD. Peace to you !

    Hey iShine I have a couple of requests.
    1. Could you pray for me to be able to teach the kids at my church they are getting saved, but I am only 14 and don’t know much about teaching.
    2. There is this girl that is mean to me she says it is because I am a PK and I get to do other stuff at church, and I stole her bff. I want to be nice, but it is hard when she hates me.
    3. That God will show me how to raise money for my missions trip this fall and to show me if I am supposed to go to the mountains or orphanage in Nepal.
    4. That I can witness to my family in Pennsylvania.

    iShine,
    I’m not feeling very well and in class I’m always sneezing and stuff. I don’t want people to make fun at me or laugh when I sneeze, so I just hold it in and people still laugh. I don’t like being laughed at…
    What should I do?
    -Glo Asihene

    • Sabrina

      Try to ignore them Glo Asihene. They are just trying to get you to feel this way. Don’t let it get to you. They are just being mean. Do you even care about what other people think about you? Their thoughts are what they use against you, but they are all wrong. God made you how he wanted you, therefore you are a diamond. You are perfect you, and He doesn’t want that changed because people are being mean. Pray about it and He will do something, and remember, He doesn’t put you through anything He doesn’t think you can handle.

    So, my dad said today that God counts all sins as equal.
    Is that really true?? I mean, if I steal one of my sister’s M&M’s; and my neighbor Bob kills someone… God will punish us both in the same way?Is there a verse in the Bible about this…? Thnx. 

    • Sabrina

      Hi Nicole :) . Not sure where the verse is, but there is one. And yes, He counts all sins as equal. Sounds crazy, especially when you put it as stealing an M&M and someone else killing someone, but He counts them all as the same. iShine Brad or Mimi can probably tell you a verse or two as he is a preacher :D
      ~Sabrina

      • Sabrina

        Well iShine Brad is a preacher but I’m sure iShine Mimi could also give you verses :D

      • Taylor Hering

        Thanks, Sabrina!

          Doh!! I accidentally posted that with my computer’s Google account… but that’s me!! lol

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Nicole, sin is sin. That means that if we break one little rule or murder someone, in comparisson to “Perfection” ; they are both failing to meet the standard of perfection… sort of like, if you don’t get an A+ on an exam, you fail, even if you only missed one question. The bible does describe some sins differently than others, but in general the concept is simple…. we all sin. We have all sinned and not one of us can ever hope to get an A+ on our own in God’s eyes. So…. we have a helper, someone who did get an A+ and chose to give His perfect grade to us so we could pass our exams. (Jesus) – hope that helps. Lots of versese… check out http://www.biblegateway.com and look up passages or keywords with “Sin” !
      Great QUESTION :)

      • http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnh97/ Nicole :)

        Thank you, Brad! You made that so easy to understand. :)

  • serene

    Hey i’m Serene. I am 11 yrs old. I am in desperate need for help. My life is in ruins. It is very easy to show my love to God at Church and home. But it is very hard to show my love for Christ at school. I try and try but nothing is working out. I don’t know if it is my friends are what. I pray and pray but it seems as if God has deserted me. PLEAZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Serene, I’m so sorry thear about your situation and struggles at school and church and home. Sometimes life is just really hard… the good news is this, God is always faithful, always loving and always active in our lives…even when we’re not feeling it. GOD won’t desert you, He can’t. His nature and character are faithful and true – no matter what it may seem to be like. I will pray for you to be encouraged and strengthened and inspired to keep trusting and keep believing for great things ! Proverbs 3:5-6 is awesome for what your feeling right now… “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but acknowlege HIM in all you do.. and he will make your paths straight” Awesome PROMISE for you today :)

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Glo Asihene, you might be able to car-pool with someone else coming from your area ? Or… make a fun trip out of it with your family ! We’ll pray for God to get you here, if He wants you to be here in April ! Blessings.

    Well, I know that it’s sometimes hard to pray for compete strangers… but I have a request. Please pray for my two cousins, Ashley and Ryley… they are going through a hard time right now. Their parents just got a divorce a couple weeks ago. :( I haven’t seen them since it happened, but everyone who has, says that they are having a pretty hard time with it. My dad stopped by to see my aunt last week and help her move out of the house, and Ryley didn’t come out of his room the whole time. And Ashley wasn’t there. 
    I’ve been praying for them ever since we heard about it, but I’d like some other people to pray, too. Please just pray for it to get easier for them to deal with… and for them to not be so sad anymore. It makes me want to cry to think of them crying. I’ve never seen either of them cry, not in all the time I’ve known them.:( 
    None of their family are Christians… so please pray for them all to accept Jesus, too. I’ve been praying for them to become Christians for years now, but it hasn’t worked yet. And now that this has happened, I think they need Jesus more then ever.  :( So please… just pray for them. I really hate to hear about them being sad and depressed. (Ashley is a 16 year old girl, and Ryley is a 13 year old boy, if that helps you envision who you’re praying for better. :p) Thank you so much. :) One more thing. I WILL see my two cousins again sooner or later… at family gatherings and stuff. When I do, what do I say to them? Do I try to act like nothing ever happened; or say “I’m sorry” or something; or just say nothing? I don’t know what I’ll say, because I’m afraid I’ll say or do something to make them feel worse. No one in my whole family has gotten a divorce before, so I’m not used to this kind of thing. :-/ What do I do or say when I run into them again?? :(

    P.S. I’m sorry this got so long!!! 

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Nicole, thanks for sharing with us. We WILL PRAY for you and your cousins. God can restore and redeem anything, we’ll ask for God to give you grace and wisdom on how to help your family recover from this loss. Divorce is really really difficult to get through, but i’m confident that many will pray for you because of your courage to share this need in your life on iShine. My encouragement is to speak openly about what they are going through, to simply tell them your sorry and concerned and want to help. Jesus will help you… I promise – He’ll give you the words to say !

          You are on my prayer list!! 

          Love, Nicole.

    Dear God, please be with Silvermist1009 as she goes through this. Please help this bully find you in her heart and quit this daily act. please keep Silvermist1009 safe and confident in herself. Thank you for all you do, Amen!

    Silvermist1009, I believe in you, and you believe in yourself, that’s all that matters, people believe in you, but also, one of those people, is God! God can help you through anything and everything. Just bow your head close your eyes and pray, no matter where you are! School, home, or any public place like the mall or grocery store!!
    Share your faith with this girl, it may help. If you are nice to her things can only get better!
    Pray. Small word, big meaning, and you are in it’s meaning. Pray to God, ask Him for what you need, ask Him to heal this girls heart, ask Him ANYTHING! God is there when no one else is, He is there when you are with everyone, He is ALWAYS THERE!
    Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your mind, and with all your heart. For trusting in the Lord will bring you great thing sin life, such as happiness, kindness, and love.
    Sorry this got long.

    I have been praying for God to bring Christian people in my life because I have been reading Psalm 101:6 and basically what it is saying is that We should not hang out with people who are not going to follow Christ, that we should dwell with other children of God. And I find it extremely challenging to face school with all this worldly stuff going on. I just think it would be so much easier to have another Christian person my age that I can talk to. Please pray that God will bring people in my life that will influence me to stay good. It’s hard out here sometimes………

    Hi! There are two boys in choir that i like….. Josh Gardner, and Liam Hinton. Well, how can i make friends w/ them with out them knowing i like them? I was wondering because there are 40 kids.

    thanks,

    • ishiner123

      @37d2823fc54349840a539a591b8aa21d:disqus trust me, been there done that xD they won’t know you like them unless you tell them or make it obvious. just try to be friends with them :) who knows maybe one of them will like you back. i had this huge crush on a guy in my spanish class and i became friends with him and he never knew i liked him until i told him, turns out he liked me back. if you are best friends with the person you have an advantage, cause who would want to go out with a complete stanger. if i were you i would try talking to him, like see if you have anything in common with him. you said he was in your choir right? maybe go up to him and ask him how a song goes even if you already know it (he wont know that you know it) if he helps you out be like do you like singing? if he says yes then maybe you can say, me too! we should have a band or just practice together sometime!! i wish you luck and hope everything turns out ok :) what have you got to lose :)

      • Hannah Shepard

        Thanks! I dont know if I can be friends w/ them cause choir is almost over and I do not know if they are going to sing next year :(

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Well, first of all… I wouldn’t post their full names on here. They might possible find it. Lol. :)
      Been there, done that too…! Lol. Just make friends with them the way that you make friends with everyone else… how did you make friends with your best friend? Did you just walk up to her and talk to her? Then just walk up to them and talk to them. Start spending time with them. But remember, it’s kinda hard to be stuck between two boys… you can’t be a ‘girl-friend’ to them both. :-/

      Lol. Well, I’m really not the best one to give you advice about this… I had a sad/bad experience with a boy last year, and I’ve had a bad case of boy-phobia ever since. 
      I try to avoid boys as much as I can… maybe that’s a bad thing, but I’ve found that I end up with a lot less broken hearts that way!! Lol. 

      So anyway. Good luck!

  • juliet simms

    hi, i kinda need you’re help to decide something. ok, so i have these big dreams and i want to do everything to complete them, but my mom doesnt believe i can and when i try to do something that will help me get a step closer to completeing them she ruins it and says i cant do it. for example i wanted to be a animal vet, a singer, a model (i know its stupid but yea…) and most recently an actress. when i said i wanted to be an animal vet mom said ha good luck with that you can’t even handle our 2 dogs. when i said i wanted to be a singer she said i should focus on more realistic things and she hates my band mate so she doesnt let me hang out with her. i tried to get noticed by signing up for disney or something but when i told my mom she just laughed.i still really want to be a singer but its really hard if my mom doesnt even let me talk to my band mate. when i said i wanted to be a model and asked if i can sign up for this modeling thing she said 13 year olds cant be models (my friend is 13 and shes a model) so concentrate on more realistic stuff. and last, today i said i wanted to be and actress and she gave me a look like i have 5 million heads. then i asked if i could find an acting camp and she didnt say any thing. when i found one she said its for more professional people then i told her its for people my age and they take beginners and she said no anyways. so i can’t decide whether i should listen to my mom or just ignore it and try to make my dreams come true. the only problem is if she doesnt want me to do it there is no way i can do it. (she doesnt want me to be an actress=she wont take me to acting camp=i wont get noticed=i will never be an actress) i have thought about running away and going to my closest friend’s/my band member’s house and fufilling my dreams. its just i don’t know whether to do it. for me it’s between choosing to listen to my mom and be an ordinary person who will never be notice, make history, or be remembered by anyone but my family or ditch my mom and make my dreams come true. i think you can tell which side i’m leaning to, but i just dont know and i don’t want to do something i will deeply regret. please help me!!

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Wow, Juliet. You sure have a big problem here. :-/ Let me see if I can help.

      Well first, I would try talking to your mom one more time. Ask her what kind of ‘realistic stuff’ she wants you to be. Then, tell her WHY you don’t want to do those things. 
      Then, tell her what you would really like to be someday, and why you DO want to be that. Make a list of the all good things that your dream career does. For example, singers encourage a lot of people. Actresses give people entertainment, which lets them get away from their worries for awhile. Vets help animals, and etc. Show her your list, explaining each point you have.

      If she still won’t listen, write her a letter. Seriously, sometimes writing tp someone is easier than talking to them. I feel like I can let my feelings out easier on paper that in words. (That’s why I keep a journal… Lol.) And no one can interrupt you when you have it all written down, they just read it. Tell her how you really, really feel. Your honest feelings! Leave it somewhere where she will find it, like under her pillow.

      You can also talk to someone else that you trust, such as a teacher, grandparent, or aunt. They may be able to help you. Seriously.

      And if neither of those things work, there is still more that you can do. One, SHOW your mom that you are responsible. For example, take better care of your dogs. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Feed stray animals. Prove to her that you have a heart for animals, and she will eventually see that you have what it takes to be a vet. 
      The same thing with everyone else. Write music, learn to play the piano and sing along with it. She will eventually see that you have true talent, and that it needs to be used. 
      Do not give up on this!! Keep at it. Persistence is the key. If you give up on asking her, practicing it, and dreaming about it, she will just be even more convinced that you don’t have what it takes. Don’t lose heart!!!!!!!!

      Lastly, the most important thing you can do. Pray! Pray, pray, pray, pray pray. Talk to God about your problems, ask Him to help you, tell him all your dreams and fears. He will never give up on you!! He will never leave you or forsake you! He LOVES you, and He wants you to love your dreams!
      Pray for your mom, too. it sounds like she needs prayer. I will pray for you and your mom. Seriously, you are now on my prayer list. Keep us posted about what happens. <3

      Don't give up! Love, Nicole.

      P.S. Ooops, sorry… this got a lot longer than I thought it would. Lol!

      P.P.S. Do NOT run away! It is never the answer… trust me, it will only make things worse. You want your mom to see that you are responsible and mature enough to consider a career. Running away will only make her lose trust in you. :(

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Brittonie, i am so sorry to hear that :(
      You must be really dealing with some tough issues & finding it hard to let your feelings out? There are some great counselors out there who would be a huge help if you take the risk & share about the struggle!
      God has a much better way for you to express your emotions & frustrations… Have you been able to share of your struggle witha pastor or parent?
      It’s really important you confide in someone soon, so you don’t keep trying to figure it out on your own.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Brittonie, I will be praying for you. Remember, God is always there for you. He will help you get through this!

      I have a song that I think you might like to hear. I hope it speaks to your heart. ♥
      Here is the link… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ryDFx9Ko5U

      Remember, Jesus is always there for you. Talk to Him, and also talk to a person that you really trust. 
      It’ll be all right with God by your side… because He hears you when you cry. :)

    DEAR GOD: I need help with my prayers, God! I’m only 9 and in 4th grade and so far I’m determined to be the 1st one in my class to be able to pray. I know some of them in spanish because I’m a mexican!

  • Glo Asihene

    iShine,
    My mom says I’m mean to my older sister Gracyn, who is 15 and I call her to mean names like fat and hippo. I know it’s rude and stuff but sometimes she’s really mean to me. I know it’s wrong, but it’s turned into a habit. Please pray that I can stop. And another, my cat Eclipse still is having problems and he tries to get out of the room when we lock him up at night. He scratches the door and he bleeds because the door is wood. Please pray that his paw gets better and he can stop. Please pray for his other problems that are confidential. Also pray that I make enough money to make it to Tennesse.
    -Glo Asihene

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Glo Asihene, hang in there :) Sounds like you have a lot going on right now. We’ll pray for you and ask for others to pray for you too. ” Lord we ask for your hand of compassion to touch this family and for these sisters to learn to love one another in how they speak and act. We ask for their lives to reflect the love you share with us all, and for their relationship to be made whole. In Jesus name we pray… AMEN”

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Well, I am 15 too, and I know that I wouldn’t like to be called a fat hippo… Lol! I have three younger sisters, and I’ve had years of experience of teasing them and being teased… it’s just what sisters do! We always forgive each other in the end, though. haha. 
      BTW, even if someone makes fun of you, you shouldn’t make fun of them back. It’s not very nice… 

      Dear God, please help @4628b55345ec4d5f0f1db86cbb4f3da4:disqus to stop making fun of her sister. We know that You can help her to stop. Please show her how to love her sister like you love her. Amen. 

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Oh yes, about your cat…
      Dear God, Please help Eclipse’s paw to get better, and make him to stop trying to get out of his room. Please help him to get through all his other life problems, which are confidential. ;) Amen.P.S. Please help @4628b55345ec4d5f0f1db86cbb4f3da4:disqus to make enough money to get to Tennessee.

      Sorry Kayylaa :) Not sure what the problem is… our webstore maynot be able to convert to Pounds… if you email us directly – we can have our web team take a look at that for you ? info@ishinelive.com – thanks !

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Patrabeukes03; We will pray for your nephew Juan. “Lord Jesus we ask for you to touch little Juan with her healing hands of life, restore his brain function and renew his body with the supernatural strength of your power… be with his parents and family in this very difficult time. Your will be done and your glory be seen in this situation… we pray in Jesus name. Amen”

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Absolutely – so sad to hear that news. “Lord, we ask for Nicole’s cousin to feel your comfort and for the family of whose loss is greatest. For strength and hope in the midst of such sadness and pain. We ask for Nicole to have the right words to encourage her cousin and for those in their lives to be compassionate and loving for the grieving family. In Jesus name we pray. Amen”

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Thank you, Brad… I hope our prayers help her and everyone else. He was one of her best friends. They walked down the hallway together, and had lockers right next to each other. It’s been pretty hard on her. :(

      It happened because he wasn’t wearing his seat belt. If he had been, he would probably be here right now. People think that a little thing like putting on a seat belt doesn’t matter… but it does. It can really truly save your life! PLEASE wear your seat belt when you’re in a car!!  

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Dear God, please heal Juan. We know that you can! And we’re trusting in You to heal him. Amen :)

  • Katherine

    Dear ishine,
                   Well, i have been getting teased at school lately by two girls and its been getting way out of hand. They have been talking bad about me behind my back and they have also been getting other people against me. They are very “popular” i guess you could say and its very difficult for me to stand up for myself. I try to ignore them and make it seem like i dont care but i do care. I dont want to tell on them because i will be called a snitch and other people will be very angry at me and no one will talk to me because almost everybody is their friend and they know and talk to everyone so i really need to know what to do to get stength and feel better about myself. My second concern is that im going to be getting my braces and they said they are going to have to take off 4 teeth and inject my mouth in order to do that. And im a little nervous and scared i really dont want to feel pain so please pray so i could have faith in god everythings going to be okay.
                                                                Thank you for your time,
                                                                  a ishine fan

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      I’m sorry for all your going through Katherine, sincerely sorry. Unfortunately it seems to be a common issue with growing up and maturing. Many kids feel so badly about themselves, the only way they know to cope is to make fun of or demean others as lower than themselves. The bible says something really odd about this… instead of standing up for yourself and fighting them head on, the scriptures suggest we should “love” them not just endure them. That’s impossible without the love of Christ within us. So, be encouraged… be faithful to your time with God and you will be amazed at the outcome, if you actually sincerely pray for these mean girls, things will change…for the better and God will be honored and you will be stronger and wiser than ever before. Blessings…

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Please pray for me… I have been feeling really bad this week. It’s allergies! I have a sore throat, watery eyes, stuffy nose, and a headache. I’ve been like this for that past 7 days! I NEVER get allergies, but they say that the allergies have been really bad this spring. 
    Please pray for it to rain soon, because they say that will wash away all of the pollen and allergens in the air. I am soooo tired if feeling sick all the time. This is getting old really fast!! 

    Thank you soooo much! 

    • iShineMimi

      Hello Nicole:) I know just how you feel. I just got back from a drive and now my head really knows there is a lot of pollen out there. Praying for you! iShineMimi

      • Nicole_the_Awesome

        Thank you! It did rain a little last night, but it didn’t seem to help any. :( I keep feeling worse and worse… my mom thinks it’s turning into a sinus infection. That means I may have to go tot he doctor!! Waaaaaaah. :P

        • iShineMimi

          Dear Nicole:) You might feel lots better if you go something that really helped! iShineMimi

    • iShineMimi

      Hello Jacinto:) Praying for you! Dear Jesus, please help Jacinto to trust You and please give peace and the ability to remember the material. Amen. iShineMimi

      • Destini1

        Prayer works trust me i know.Just keep your eyes on God He will always be there for you.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Yes, prayer works!! :) God doesn’t always answer our prayers in the exact way that we want Him to… but He always answers them one way or another. :)  
      How did your test go?? I hope it went well!

    Avery -we’re praying for your missionary friend in Lesotho Africa !

    • Avery

      Idk if he even still has it.

      • Nicole_the_Awesome

        I hope he doesn’t! Cancer is scary. 

  • Emma Grace

    Dear God, please be with Emily and bless her with the strength to get through this. Please help her find her way to you Christ. In Jesus name, Amen.

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Emily, hang in there. No matter what your feeling, or not feeling in your life right now, God is there. Remember that your not created to live life all on your own, it’s important to find a good friend, mentor or family member that you can share your struggles with. Your need to “feel” is natural, but hurting yourself is not an option in the future. Please be courageous and share your situation with your parents, a pastor or a dear friend you can trust. Our prayer for you is to take the plunge of faith to confide. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

  • Glo Asihene

    iShine,
    My life is in ruins, I can’t go to the auditions, I don’t have a cell phone, my parents are struggling, my FAMILY is struggling, and I feel like my friends just ditched me for a new kid named Rebecca, and to top THAT off, when I was getting off the bus today, I said hi to my crush, tried to walk away casually, but I tripped over my science fair board, and landed on my bottom, my bake sale isn’t going well either, and my sisters always fing I way to put me down, sometimes, I don’t know if this is living…..What should I do?-Glo Asihene

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Glo Asihene, it’s going to get better. PROMISE! The circumstances you’re experiencing are a huge disappointment for sure, but they are temporary. Remind yourself of ALL the good things in your life. Focus on the blessings and not the frustrations. Life is full of “up’s” and “downs”, but with Christ in your heart you can live regardless of your situation. Paul said, “i’ve learned in whatever state I am in to be content”, that’s a huge testimony to the God we serve in helping us regardless of our momentary difficulties. IF God wants you to be in iShine, if God has a plan for you to be in ministry, there will be other opportunities and other chances to do so. I PROMISE :)

    • Emma Grace

      Glo Asihene,
       I PROMISE you your life will get better, for God never puts you through something you can’t handle. Here’s a verse to help:
      With God all things are possible- Mark 10:27 
       For my baptism, my grandparents gave me a metal cross that I can put on me nightstand (not a necklace) that has that verse on it. I hope you pull through this because at the end of a tragety comes gold adn rainbows. :)
      ~Emma Grace (last known as Sabrina)

    • Tianna <

      been there and done that,
      I have a cruch named Ethan he never pays any attention to me and when I say hi to him.. he does the same,
      so I just take a breath and then say “ God’s got someone better for me. ” 
      when my friends ditch me I say ” I’m a better person then that. ”
      and then go talk to the one who’s always there for me!
      and when my family has a xxxxx large fight I read Matthew 5:9 and then try my best to be that!
      and when my parents fight I go outside pray for a little while then if they’re still fighting I scream as loud as I can and then when they come outside and ask me why I screamed,
      and then say ” if you even care, your hurting me! I love you both and I want you to be my parents in peace together!! ”
      and then walk of to cool off.
      and I can’t go to the auditions I tell myself that “I don’t have to go there to be wanted or to be a witness.”
      and when I mess up something I say ” well at least I didn’t mess up something bigger, ”
      and then say,” if I hurry I can fix before somebody sees what I did! ”
      and then if I fall I say, ” at least I have God to help me back up!”
      and when I money in sales I say, ” there’s a reason why. ”
      and when my brother says something to put me down I say,
      “W.W.J.S.”
      which means ( what would Jesus say? )
      I also say it LOUD that way he can hear me!
      and then after all that in a day I say, ” it made me stronger! ”
      try that it always works!

    • Tianna <

      down

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Glo, it’s okay. I’m sure there will be another audition someday. And since you can’t go, I’m sure God has a plan for you to do something else. If He had wanted you to go, He would have gotten you there. He must have a different plan for your life right now… and I’m not saying that you’ll never go to an audition again! If God wants you to audition for something, He’ll get you there. Just keep praying, and wait and see what He has in store for your life next!

      About the cell phone… there’s no reason why your life should be in ruins because you don’t have one. ;) I don’t have one either! And even though I REALLY want one, and all my friends have them, I try not to let it get me down. 
      I think cell phones are way overrated… phones USED to be just to talk to people with. There was only one or two in every house. Now these days, you have to carry one with you everywhere to be considered ‘cool’. :-/ Whatever… we can be cool without phones! We can be phone-less together! 

      Ask God to help you with your family situations. Talk to Him, and talk to your family. I live in a kinda big family… and I’ve learned that if I’m feeling angry at someone, it’s better to talk to them about it instead of holding it all in. It really helps. Talk to the people in your family (nicely and calmly). Tell then how you feel. It sounds really basic, I know, but TALK. To them and to God.

      It seems like I’ve been around the world and back with friend problems… I’ve made friends, then lost them forever, then gotten some back, then lost them again. Right now, I have about half as many friends as I had a couple years ago. I don’t really know what to tell you… because I’m STILL struggling with friend issues. One thing I HAVE learned though is this: People may come and go every other day, but God is truly the only one who will always be there. He will never leave you or me!! I just find that amazing, that He’ll never leave me alone no matter what I do or where I go. Find comfort in that, it has helped me so much!

      Ha! I’ve fallen down so many times in my life! The worst one was when I was 12… I was walking in the church sanctuary carrying my baby sister, and wearing my new high heels. (NEVER do that!!) I slipped on the floor, threw Kayla up in the air, then my dress flew up (WAY up…), and when I landed on the hard floor, my foot was twisted really bad. I was so embarrassed because everyone was looking at me, and I had a sore ankle for a few days after that. (Oh Mom caught the flying kid, luckily!)
      And I’m a big klutz. I knock things over for a living! No, just kidding. I am really clumsy though. But when you fall, you just gotta get back up and act like it’s okay! Laugh it off… if you act like it’s no big deal, everyone else probably will too. 

      Well hope I helped! ;)

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Emily, no matter how depressed you are… do not cut yourself!! The scars will probably last a long time, maybe even forever. They’ll always just be a reminder of your depression! :(
    There’s a better way to fight it… talk to God and read the Bible! Seriously, it helps. I was really depressed for awhile once, I always felt so empty and alone. Then I realized that it was because I had been ignoring God! Without even realizing it, I had stopped reading my Bible, and stopped talking to Him. 
    Now, I’m trying to get back on track with my Bible, and with talking to God. It really helps, after I have a Bible study I feel so much happier and content! Try it and see. :)

  • carla murfield

    it has been a hard time for me and my mom because two years from us and my big sister has a baby and she said she wasn’t my sister anymore and she has a two year son(my nephu and moms grandson and she said don’t even consider him that and i want  god to try to get her to be nice to us again

  • Tianna <

    tried cutting…
    my mom talked me out of it…
    but I’m still tempted…
    what do I do?
    I’m scared to cut with a knife but I cut myself with my nails of I pop myself with a rubber band…
    but I’m starting to want to do it with a knife..
    for some reason I like pain…

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Oh, Tianna! Don’t do it!! When you cut yourself, the scars are there for a long time. Maybe even forever… :( I’ve read people’s stories about cutting, and they say every time you see the scars you’ll remember cutting yourself, and the reason why you did it. Not very pleasant. 

      Is it because you’re depressed, or sad, or mad? Or just because you like pain? (lol) 

      • Tianna <

        I’m okay..
        I don’t want to do it now,
         I had a talk with my pastor,
        and before that I had a talk with my daddy…
        and some other people….
        and soon I’m going to be going to a therapist,
        I’m just going through a tough spot right now…
        and by the way it was all 4.
        but with God’s help I’ll get through it!
        I have to get off now,
        I love all you guys on here,
        I’m not gonna hide anything from you!
        iShine means alot to me,
        it helps me up when I’m down,
        and I won’t be on here for a while  because of my bad choices,
        I’ll try and get on here as much as I can k?
        and I still need prayer, :)
        I love ya’ll!

          Tianna, hang in there. Be strong, stay close to your parents and your pastor and your Christian friends. Stay AWAY from stuff that has a negative message and remember who you are in Christ Jesus. You are unique, one of a kind. Irreplaceable in God’s eyes and He understands everything your feeling, talk with Him. Share your feelings and your dreams and your frustrations and ask Him to help. iShine LOVES you and so does your family and friends… we need you to be YOU, no one else can do that !

    hi guys, i jus need prayer becoz dis guy who claimed he ‘liked’ me jus confessed da whole class witout tellin me dat he had a girlfriend n loved her. now my heart is sad n i dislike his galfriend now,he broke my heart n i knwdat JESUS is healing it, i jus cnt seem 2 4give him maself, itry so much 2 say i hate him but da mor i think of it da more sad i becum, plz plz plz help me with ur prayers n share sum advice too if u can

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Yeah. I kinda know how that feels! Somethin similar happened to me once. :P

      Jesus can heal anyone’s broken heart, no matter how broken it may be. You’re right, He is healing yours! It may take time, but you will feel better eventually. You’ll get over this, and be happy again. Don’t worry. ♥ 
      Don’t hate this guy… that only makes things worse. You’ll feel even madder at him if you keep telling yourself that you hate him! It may take some time for you to feel… well… normal around him! But you should try to love him. (‘love’ as in the kind of love that Christians have towards each other… friend-ly love. Jesus tells us to love one another!)
      And this may be even harder… but you have to love his girlfriend too! Jesus said to ‘love your enemies, pray for those who hate you, and bless those who persecute you.’ 

      I’ll say a prayer for you tonight!! And one right now. :)

      Dear God, please heal @6cc7a2a79c7794166c5218974db08b7f:disqus ’s heart… she is feeling really sad right now. Help her to forgive this boy who hurt her, and for her to feel love toward him and the other girl, instead of hate. We know that she can do it, because we ‘can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’. Be with her as she goes through this. Amen :)

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Okay, I’m sorry… but I don’t talk texting language! I have almost no idea what you just said… you think you can put that in regular English? Then I’d be happy to read it and try to help you! But can you help me out first by telling me what that all says. lol!

        Really? Haha that’s cool! XD

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Nicole, we’ll pray for the truth of God’s word to win the argument in the heart of your cousin Noah. Remember, the Holy Spirit is our advocate, our instructor and our guide, He can soften hearts and change minds…not our logic or intellect or skill in arguing a valid point like creation vs. evolution. Many Christians struggle with issues of science and faith, and it’s important to hold your ground without feeling the need to win every argument along the way. God has a way of making His truth known, and your calm and peaceful responses to your cousins assertions on science, may in fact influence him more than a passionate and well intentioned argument. Pray for him to see the Christ in you and want to know more about your faith,… the science stuff will quickly become a non-issue once that occurs. Proud of you for standing up for your beliefs… Blessings and Wisdom to you.

    I have a prayer for my good friend Jeremy. He is a really nice person, but he rebelled against his parents and God. It breaks my heart too because they sent him off to some mentle instutution or some thing. He was a really strong Christian… I dont know what happened…    Anyway there are a lot of details I cant say but he needs prayer.
        I pray mission six will come where I live!! Florida!!! ;)

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      isabell, we will pray for your friend Jeremy… for God to send him encouragement and reminders of faith and hope and love in his situation. Don’t forget to pray for him as his friend too. :)

      • Avery

        Tell me about it

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Ok, can you please pray for this girl in my youth group? I don’t really know her very well, but I’ve been praying for her. 
    Well every week at youth group during the singing, they ask if there is anyone who isn’t a Christian and wants to be one. And they always ask after the service, too. And anyone who comes up, they pray with them so they can be saved. Well this girl, Molly, comes up almost every week. I mean, EVERY week. Last week she came up to be saved during praise & worship, and after the service too! 
    I don’t know if she knows that you only have to be saved once, you don’t have to do it every day. But she always seems like a really sad person, and whenever I’m around her I get depressed, because her personality is so depressing. It rubs off! 
    She gets bullied a lot, for her size. She’s… bigger than some other people, and all the kids at her school make fun of her for it. I think that’s why she’s always depressed.

    I don’t know if she really is a Christian or not… or if she just comes up and prays the same prayer every week without meaning it. 
    I don’t really know her, I’ve only talked to her a couple times before. And that was just a ‘hi, bye!’ sorta thing. I’ve been thinking about talking to her and asking her if she is a Christian or something… but that would be kinda weird, since I don’t even know her. 

    But I think she needs prayer, could you please help me pray for her? I’m not sure what I want to pray for her about… I just feel like I need to pray for her. I guess just that she’ll see that God loves her and that she needs to trust that she is saved. And that she’ll be really happy. 

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      We’ll pray for her, but it sounds like God is putting her on your heart to be a friend…?

      • Nicole_the_Awesome

        I was actually thinking about that too… it might be hard for me. You wouldn’t know it by the way I act online (lol) but I am one of the shyest people I know… really. When I started going to a new church, it literally took me months to start talking to people. All the friends I have now, I’m ashamed to admit, are my friends because they walked up to me first. It takes a lot of willpower for me to want to walk up to someone I don’t know.
        I’ve been trying, though… last time I saw her, I said ‘Hi, how are you?’ and she said something back. And after the worship service, she was crying and everything after she went up front. So I just walked up to her and hugged her! She hugged me back and was like, ‘thank you!’ It was really sweet. 

  • isabell

    I will pray for Molly, @Nicole_the_Awesome:disqus . Dear Jesus, I pray for Molly, that she would see Your love and power. And that she would understand Your Word and see that she just needs to let herself be Yours once. Jesus Name, Amen.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Thank you Isabell! :)

  • isabell

    Um… @bradmathias:disqus I have a question. When you say, “we will pray”, Who is “we”? Are you talking about the iShine cast or are you talking about your church or something? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just wondering… :)

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      The iShine team here in Nashville… as well as our artists, like Ckenzi and Alexis and Mission Six guys… you know the TEAM :)

      • Nicole_the_Awesome

  • Avery

    Hey guys we all should pray for Ckenzi and Her Mom. Her Moms in the hospital. I am hopeing she will get better soon.

  • isabell

    I have another prayer request for my friend, LeRoy. Hes 17 and kinda worldly, you know, like he doesn’t care about being spirituly muture or anything. All he cares about is girls and coffee. He is Jeremy’s brother( Jeremy, as in the guy I needed prayer for before )and LeRoy doesn’t even care that his brother was sent off to a mental innstutution… God Bless

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Got this email questions in our in box this week… thought it might be good to share with you all for discussion, prayer…feedback…here it is.
    “Dear ishine,Thank you for the email back. I have a question though… Why do people say God is a myth, I know they dont believe but when you tryto tell them they dont listen. A kid in my class was saying that Gods just another myth, I didnt know what to do so after class I tried to tell him Gods real and alive but he just said whatever. I pray for him and other kids who say that. I forgave him and moved on all I could do was that. How can I let him know Gods not a myth that he died on the cross to save our sins?”

    • Kenzie

      Tell them about all the blessings GOD has given you. Things like a family, friends, eduacation, food, and so much more. Show them you can shine because GOD has made you. Everything including yourself was made by GOD and GOD alone. Remember that and don’t let anyone fool you or drive you in a different direction. Stay on the straight path, and trust GOD. Cast your cares on HIM, and HE will deliver you. Remember that…

    Please pray for my family. My dad got a job and was in training. He thought he had had this really good day and they call after and let him go. Now he is trying to get a job an insurance adjuster and he may be flying out far away. This job will take him all over the U.S. I am really scared we may have to move or that I won’t see him very much. He says this job will pay so good we can make up for the last 5 years in 2 years and have a new car and the house paid off. Please pray for me! Thanks and GB!!

    From:Felicia GonzalesSent:Sat 5/12/12 10:37 AMTo: Dear,Ishine
    In Bible class te other day we learned about Mary and how even during her conception she was witout original or any sin. I want to know why couldn’t we all be like her and Jesus born free without sin?

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Well we were without sin, in the beginning… before Adam and Eve sinned. That brought sin onto all of us. 

      I heard this line in a movie once: “If we didn’t sin, we wouldn’t need a Savior.” If God had made us all to be sinless and perfect… we wouldn’t have needed Jesus to come save us. And if Jesus hadn’t come, who would we have to look up to as our role model in life? If we were all perfect, we wouldn’t have needed Jesus. And without Jesus… what kind of world would this be?!

      In my personal opinion, I think that God didn’t make us perfect so that He could send us Jesus. That’s my take on it. 

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Stephanie Thermidor; “hi ishine group,i have a question 4 u guys,wat should i do when i feel like God abandon me and feel like i am mad at God 4 everything because i feel like God hate me and he take away every good people that i have left,people who beleived in me.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Well I would tell her that-
      God DOES love you. God is always there… even when you don’t feel like He isn’t. And He always loves us… even if we sometimes feel like He doesn’t. Sometimes what we feel isn’t the same as what is real. You can’t depend on your feelings to know what is real… depend on God instead. 

      I’ve been there, done that. I’ve felt like God wasn’t there. I’ve felt like He was taking people away from me. But you know what? When you feel like He isn’t there, or when you’re angry at Him, talk to Him. Simply talk to Him like you would your best friend. Tell Him why you’re angry, sad, or just plain depressed. And there’s another thing you need to do… listen for Him to talk back to you. Don’t let it be a one-sided conversation. Let Him speak to your heart. Take some time out if the day to pray. 
      When I get done praying, I feel refreshed and usually have a better outlook on life. Telling God everything helps me get through things… He’s usually the only one I have to talk to. God can help me (and everyone else!!) through anything. :) <3

    • Destini1

      God has not abondoned you He will always be there for you even when you dont think He is.HE LOVES YOU.YOU ARE HIS CHILD.Never give up hope.I will pray for you.

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    I have a very, very simple answer to this… click on this link. 
    http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.225552304.jpg 

    It’s very very true… GOD LOVES YOU. And I can prove it. Go read the Bible… it’s His love letter to you! 
    And Jesus loves you more than you can EVER imagine. He suffered and dies for you… if you had been the only one on earth, Jesus would have died for just you. Think about that. He loves you that much!!

    And we love you! Your family loves you! Your friends love you! YOU ARE LOVED. ♥

    That’s a great thing to do!! :)  
    I wore a shirt to school one day (when went to school for a driving class) with a happy face on it that said, “Smile, God loves you!” I got a couple people staring at it, but no one commented on it. I hope it changed someone’s day and made them a little happier though. ;)

    Dear God, help Dawn to be  strong and not back down on this. Help her, and all of is, to not be ashamed of the gospel and of Jesus. Help us to keep our eyes on You. Amen!

    And P.S., you didn’t write too much. I’ve written a ton of prayers on here that were a lot longer than that!!

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Could some of you please pray for me… I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately with being patient with my two little sisters. That’s one thing I have always had a LOT of trouble with… patience. I’ve been really bad about it for the past couple of days.
    They are really hyper kids… lol. Anyway, they’ve just been getting on my nerves a LOT the past few days. They run around and embarrass me in public, and never behave or do anything we tell them to. They always follow me around everywhere, and they talk literally NON STOP all day. And they think that they can boss me around, even though they’re 7 years old! And when I say ‘no, I won’t do what you want me to’ they slap me or pinch me. And I always do it back. I know it’s mean, but I can never help it. 

    Like today, one of my sisters tore the streamers off of my bedroom doorway that I put up last week. I got so mad, I yelled at her and hit her. (I’m ashamed to admit) 
    Then later, I was trying to feed the cat, and they wouldn’t stop following me, yelling at me, and telling me that my cat looked sick because I wasn’t taking care of her. I started yelling at them again, and tried to kick them, but the ran off to tell mom. 
    Then this morning, mom asked me to take them outside to play. I was right in the middle of doing something, and didn’t want to stop and watch some little kids run around in the yard. So I was like, “Fine, whatever.” And mom got so mad… she was like, “You need to have more patience with them. They’re people too, you know. What is your problem?!”
    And she said that if I don’t straighten up and get my temper under control, I won’t be allowed to go to my friends’ houses anymore. 

    I don’t know what my problem is. I don’t know why I’ve had this bad temper lately. I just yell at everyone, and have no patience… I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’m frustrated at a couple people right now, and I’m taking it out on everyone else. I just don’t know… but it frustrates me too. Just please pray for me to have more patience and get my temper under control… thanks a bunch. I really appreciate your prayers

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Sometimes… we just have really bad days. Sometimes, we may have several really bad days in a row. As teens or pre-teens, those bad days may have no real reason, they just sort of appear out of thin air…no explanation. That’s part of the transition from being a child into young adult and then to adult. Learning to resist our emotions, growing strong enough to keep them from overpowering us in our day. I am confident that if you stay close to Christ, reading in His word, spending time with His people and being involved with your community of faith… things  will improve with time. God has a way of working off all of our “rough” edges and making us “smooth” and beautiful for His purposes. Thanks for sharing with such humility… Blessings to you :)

    “Dear Ishine,
    hey my sister needs prayer. She has mild hearing lost and shes 11. She loves music and is in the band playing the sax. She hates that shes different and next year shes going to be in middle school with me. I can only tell her that God has an amazing plain for her even though she doesnt know it yet. She says He doesnt and hasnt helped her at all. Can you pray for her please. ” – email excerpt from Kylie Walker

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Hey Kylie… I’ll be praying for your sister. :)

    • Victoria

      I am disabled, so I kinda know how your sister feels, Kylie. Right now, the best thing you can do is listen to her. If she tells you she is mad at God, you need to assure her that that’s OK. I am not saying it’s RIGHT to blame God for her issue, but it’s understandable that she would. She needs understanding and mercy right now. What she does NOT need–and this is where I speak from experience–is you chewing her out for the way she feels or preaching at her. She is hurting and confused and needs you to be gentle and loving and supportive. Also, you need to pray that God shows her in little, practical, real life ways that HE LOVES her. God is big enough to take your sister where she’s at, anger, fear, frustration and all. He loves her in spite of it all.

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Dear God, please bless @60d2efefd8595b3a92df9ab4f00f5e36:disqus ’s family and friends who have lost their loved ones. We know that You can comfort them… Amen :)

    Diamond, when people talk about you because you talk about God…it just means that you are standing out…that your different than they are. That’s not a bad thing at all. Your unique, special, irreplaceable and the fact that you don’t hide your faith is amazing! Our advice is for you to continue to just be “you”, and know that in doing so…some people may be caught off guard, or whispher about you…that’s just fine. Be ready to share with them “why” you talk about God and introduce them…to each other :)

    So glad to hear that Sarah Guinn! Blessings from iShine :)

    isabell, be encouraged that the very best way to win someone’s respect and trust, is in making sure your actions match your words. IF and when those become one, at the very least you can know that your encouragement for others to find Christ… will be heard. The rest is up to them to choose. Just be sure they know you will Love them either way :)

    • isabell

      Thanks! :) I’ll try to show them Christ’s love  through me!

  • iShineMimi

    Good Morning, Dawn:) I am so glad Christian has a friend like you praying for him. I join you in prayer this morning that Jesus will encourage him and give him patience to heal! iShineMimi

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    I think that’s a good thing! Talking about God is a great thing to get recognized for… keep on doing it! Keep on talking about God, and they can say what they want. Be yourself and keep loving Jesus :)
    But if they’re making fun of you for it… then don’t stop either. If they’re making fun of you for loving God, then they probably need to know God themselves! Just pray for them, and keep being an example to them. That’s all I have for now, God bless! :)

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Ok, I’ll pray for you to be able to live your dreams as a t.v. star! You can do it someday, if you stick to it and don’t give up. Good luck!! :)  

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    I will! I’ll pray for him to get better, and to keep ahold of his hope. It’s great that he has a friend like you who really cares about him :)

We saw the RedWoods, Olympic National Park, Yosemite and Lassen Volcanic National park along the way… it was fantastic to see the beauty and majesty of God’s creation.

  • emily rose

    can someone please help me? i’ve been having alot of family problems. my sister thinks she can do what she wants and when she gets caught she blames everything on me. she has been sneaking out, swearing, and making fun of god and christianity when everyone in the family is christian, and this is making my parents mad and when the are mad they are really mean and i just don’t know what to do. she even tried to blame me by saying i didn’t beieve in god but i do. one thing that bothers me is when they are mad they also blame everything on me when i didn’t do anything. like today at the gym i didn’t do anything wrong and my sister jut randomly started swearing at me the walked out of the building, mymom noticed then told me she ws going to put me in therapy. because of all the stress i guess i started crying then they started yelling at my sis for caling me names then she made up a story making me sound bad and of course my parents believed it and started yelling at me.then when my parents weren’t listening my sister told me to kill myself, the usual death threats i get daily. then i tried to ignore herand that got her even more mad and whatever i do everyone gets mad at meand i have no idea what to do anymore cause thishas been going on for a while, its not getting better, and i hate it when my parents are mad at me because of my sister. i even wrote how i feel in a notebook as if i was writing a diary and put it inplain sight so my parents would read it, they read it but nothing changed. can someone please help me out or tell me what i should do??

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Emily Rose; my heart hurts for you. It’s always hard to find solutions when family are involved. My encouragement for you is to share your concerns, quietly and calmly with your parents…we’ll pray for you. Hang in there, things will improve :)

      • emily rose

        thanks,i went to family therapy today and i think it helped a little cause the person kinda described i the wayi was feeling :)

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Oh, Emily Rose… I’m not gonna lie, I got tears in my eyes while I was reading this. I feel SO bad for you… and I will pray for you and your family every night!!! Starting right now.

      Dear God, please help Emily Rose. She’s really hurting right now. Help her family to understand her, and for her to not lose hope that things will get better. Help her to trust in You, and to be able to forgive her sister for the mean things she’s said. Bless her life, and help her to get through this hard time. And help her parents to believe the things that she says. Watch over her and protect her… we’re trusting that You will take care of her and make things right.
       Please be with Emily Rose’s sister… help her to see that the way she’s living her life is wrong. Please help her to see the mistakes that she’s made, and to make them right. Please watch over her, and help her find her way to You.
      Help their parents please, teach them to not get so angry at their kids. Show them what You think they should do in this situation, just guide them in this time. Help them to do what is right! In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

      I truly hope that things get better for you soon… please keep us updated as to what happens. I really want to know how life goes for you, and I will keep praying!! I’m going to copy your post and put it on my wall. That way I’ll see it every day and pray for you!!! Rest assured that someone out there is praying for you, because I will be. And Jesus will always be there. The Bible says that, ‘even though your mother and father forsake you’, God will still be there. When you think that no one cares, think again… GOD DOES!! And He always, always will. :)

      Hang in there… prayers are headed your way. ♥

    • Tianna <

      hey emily,
      please take time to read this!
      I just want you to know things do get better!
      but it does take time,
      I don’t know as much as you do when it comes to brothers and sisters but I do know how you feel when it comes to that one subject,
      I went to therapy for selfharming you could say,
      I went through alot when my grandparents got in a car wreck…
      I felt responsible for what happened because my brother blamed me…
      right now my nana is in bed and will never be able to stand again,
      and my papa is…..
      well,
      not all right in the head,
      and when all this started…  I was 12 and we had to live with them to help out
      but they cursed at me,
      said all these stupid storys about how I did that to them…
      my nana hit me a couple of times,  but I never let my parents know…
      my papa called my mama lazy even when she worked 24/7!
      my mama stayed home with us and  tried to homeschooled us because we
      didn’t have enough money for us to go to school!
      but from being called for a bedpan every minute…
      anyways…  I stayed in my room for the longest time…
      at that time I tried to kill myself by starving myself…
      I didn’t have any friends and the one fool friend I had left me!
      she had too many boyfriends to have me as her best friend…
      I only had myself and God…
      but after my papa kicked us out because we caught him with another
      woman…  but after a while things seemed to be okay…
      but then I just seemed to be falling apart and really I guess it was because all those memories piling up,
      I found a true best friend at a homeschool group,
      a few months later the pain came back…
      I started cutting behind my parents backs…
      I started getting worried about my health…
      so I called suicide watch…
      the first lady I talked to wanted to take me away from my family,
      the next lady wanted me to go to a hospital and get med. treated!
      the next one wanted me to take therapy…
      so I went to my preacher and to local shrink…
      she was nice,
      but to this day my daddy quit his job to spend more time with me
      and I never go anywhere without my notebook,mp3, and a prayer!
      I’m much better now and well,
      there isn’t much more to it! :)
      right now I’m witnessing to my cuz’n and she sounds just like your sis!
      I’ll be praying for you!
      and it will be okay!
      I promise!

    Destini1, we’re praying for God to touch your life and your families with his grace and mercy this 4th of July. You have so much going on right now, our heart goes out to you and your situation. If you can, plug into a great youth group or church in your home town. Ask God to connect you with a great pastor or youth leader who can help you sort out all of the stuff going on right now. Our PRAYERS are for you. Trusting in God is a seriously good way to go. Blessings to you in Jesus name!

    • Destini1

      I go to a great church with a great youth pastor.

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Crystal Rose, that’s a serious situation. Not only will we pray for you and your friend, but for you to have the courage to share this with a parent or pastor you know who could really help your friend out. She NEEDs to talk with someone who can help her sort out her feelings and maybe even get some medical help for her depression. DON’T Try to figure this one all out on your own. GET someone – (Parent or Pastor) to help you ASAP ! Email us at info@ishinelive.com if you need more help than that! We want you and your friend to have a wonderful and productive life and God wants that too. Sometimes he works through loving friends like you to help those who are just overwhelmed… this may very well be the most courageous thing you will ever do for your friend. Concerned at iShine…

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Crystal, I would also like to repeat what Brad said. This is incredibly important. This is something very dear to my heart because one of my friends tried this and I finally got the courage to tell my parents, who found my friend some help. Now my friend thanks me and is so glad I stepped in. This isn’t something to take lightly.
      Please let someone know!

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    Dear God, please heal Destini’s dad’s fingers. Help them to heal quickly and not be so painful. Amen!
    About your grandparents… if they won’t listen, it looks like all you can do right now is to pray for them! And be a witness to them. Meaning, let God’s love shine through you! Act like Jesus and follow in His footsteps, and someday they might see that Jesus lives in you! And maybe they’ll want to have Him in them, too. Keep praying! :)

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    That’s very very serious… I’ll definitely be praying for your friend. :(  
    Tell an adult!! Seriously. They may be able to help her. 
    Usually, tattling on a friend is not a good thing to do. BUT in this case, it is definitely needed! Tell someone that you trust (like your parents, a teacher, your pastor, etc.) about your friend’s situation. She may be mad at you for telling, but it could save her life. 
    And keep praying for her… prayer really works!!

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Destini! :) You can never ask for too many prayers. Whenever you’re in need of something, or upset, even happy! You should take that to the Lord. He loves to hear about your life.
      Sometimes God lets you feel a little lonely so that you can learn to lean on Him. That is the GREATEST thing you can ever learn.
      People are only human but God can always be there for you and he won’t ever let you down. :)

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Aw, you can never ask for too many prayers! People are supposed to pray for each other! ♥
      I felt that way once too! Like I didn’t have any friends. But God eventually brought me a lot of new friends!! Keep praying that He’ll help you make some new friends. And pray that He’ll bring your old friends back to you, too! He can do both of those things for you. :)

      Dear God, please help Destini to not feel so lonely anymore. Help her to see that she DOES have a Friend… Jesus! ;)
      Please send her a friend that will stay with her, through the good and the bad times. And help her old friends to come back to her… she misses them a lot. Amen!

      • Destini1

        Yes I do miss my old friends.Jesus is my best friend.

  • Destini1

    THerefore,put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes,you may be able to stand your ground,and after you have done everything to stand….Pray also for me,that whenever I speak words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.Ephesians 6:13,19

    THE BIBLE IS SO GOOD IT HAS EVERYTHING IN IT!!!!WE NEED TO BE READY FOR WHEN GOD COMES BACK AND GETS US CHRISTIANS WE NEED TO LEAD ALL THE NONBELIEVERS TO CHRIST.WE DONT WANT ANYONE TO GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gabby

    Dear shine,im going into 6th grade in the fall,which means i’ll be in youth.but im so short i look more like a 4th grader. im embarrassed to stand and sit with teens that are a whole foot taller than me.what should i do? 

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

       I’m six feet four inches and I married a five foot tall beautiful lady 21 years ago. She teaches elementary school and sometimes the kids are taller than her. My point is this… she is perfect for being her. I love her for it! It doesn’t matter in the long run if your short or tall, your you! If your meant to grow, you will. If your meant to be smaller, than you won’t. Either way, God’s got your back. You will be EXACTLY the right size to be YOU! He will have a special place and purpose for your life to fill in life and you don’t want to be too small or too big for that! Your friends and your classmates may tease you or give you a hard time, but my bet is… this will be your year to really shoot up and grow. As a six grader, you will grow emotionally, spiritually, mentally and socially… and maybe even a few inches to your physical height. No matter what, God will see you through this sixth grade year. He always does. Hang in there and grab some extra corn when you can :) Blessings from iShine!

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Hello Gabby!
      Don’t be afraid, teenagers really aren’t that bad. I have always been pretty short.. and my older sister is 27 but she is only 4’10! Its okay to be small that is the way God has made you! Make a list of all the great things about being tiny! Like… being able to fit in cabinets (Silly things like that) :)

    did it hurt?

  • jackie

    Dear ishine.  I want to know if I’m going to heaven.  One time I denied God’s powers, but I asked forgivness…

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Jackie… going to heaven is a question of going “home”. If your a child of God, if you have surrendered you own life to follow after His. Then you have shifted your identity from that of your “old” self, into a new transformed person…a child of God’s and it would only be natural for you to go “home” to be with your new heavenly father when it’s time. To surrender your life to God, you are simply admitting you need him more than anything else, that your willing to let go of your own right to choose and decide, and instead are asking for Him to pick for you. When you do that, your accepting His solutions for life, rather than your own and have become a new person. To surrender your self to God requires that you accept His gift of life, that you submit yourself to His ways and allow Him to direct your path. It has nothing to do with your being”good” or “bad”, but rather on His love and unconditional grace to those who are willing to let go of their self and trust in Him. Christians call that being”born again” and it’s more than one time prayer or a baptism. It’s a shifting of your heart and mind to trust and believe in Jesus as the only son of God. The ultimate solution for all of life’s problems and the beginning of real life. True life as the bible calls it. Heaven can then invade earth for the Christian believer. We don’t have to wait for our death to experience the joys and peace of a perfect life eternal, we can begin to embrace that promise in the here and now. But never forget, it’s a GIFT. Not something to be earned or accomplished on our own. If you are unsure of your salvation, or your heavenly status… just ask a pastor or parent or older friend who is a Christian for more info. Taking the time to ask Jesus to become your personal life changing savior is a big deal. Happy to hear your interest.

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Jackie!
      The only way you will know that you are going to heaven is when you become saved! Jesus WANTS to save you. When you open your heart up to Him and believe, while confessing with your mouthy that He is Lord. After you ask Him to forgive your sins. Then you’re set!!!

      • jackie

        Thanks, Jackie

      Treat other people as friends… and they might treat you like a friend! Start talking to people. Start a conversation with somebody! A good way to start a conversation is by complimenting them, or asking a question. Keep talking to them a lot, and you’ll get to know them better! 
      Give it time… after awhile, you’ll make some friends. Just remember to always be friendly, and people will WANT to be your friend! :)
      And remember, Jesus is your best friend.

  • Destiny

    Tell an adult ASAP! If somebody is trying to hurt themselves you should tell an adult first… I was once in that situation and im very thankful that i told an adult that could help me. It is very scary for the parents and for yourself and for the other people around you as well. She is Blessed to have a friend like you ” Crystal Rose” and dont feel like you betrayed her trust if you told/ tell an adult. Even if she is mad at you for awhile she will thank you one day for caring enough to take the chance to tell someone. Keep praying that God will give her peace and show her that life is worth living.
    God Bless you and your friend as God watches over you!

      Well, I guess but only if he treats you the way you should be treated and its an approprite relationship and your parents are fine with it. :)

    • ishinefan!

      I always loved the idea of saving yourself for your Future Husband.  I pray to God about a boy and asks him if he could be the one.  I also look at my list of requirment for my Future Husband.  If it seem like God says he’s not the one and If he doen’t have the requirements for My Future Husband then I’m just a friend with him.  I can’t wait for God’s timing when he brings my Future Husband into my life.  And I know my Future Husband will feel honored becuase I saved my whole heart for him and not to 5 different boyfriends.

      Hope this helped.  But I know my thinking isn’t everybodys thinking.

    ~ Ephesians 2:10, NLT

  • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

    Jackie, Sex is a gift that God has given us…but only to be shared between a wife and husband. It’s a wonderful and natural act designed by God, and intended for only those who have a marriage covenant with each other and God. Sex outside of marriage, is dangerous and provides the opportunity for you to experience pregnancy, disease and emotional and mental scarring that can last a lifetime. It’s not that God is wanting us to miss out, he’s wanting to save us from hurting ourselves and others. I would strongly encourage you to talk with your parents or a youth pastor about these things and let them share in more detail according to your age and stage of life. Hang in there, purity may not be popular…but it’s worth the wait. Blessings.

    Sorry its long!!
    Well theres this guy I met at a Christian Camp, he is absoloutly lovely, and I think I’ve grown too attached to him. He lives two hours away from me which isn’t that bad but i think it would be tough to try and see him all the time. He’s the same age as me and a Christian too, but i dont think he’s in that right relationship with God just yet..neither am I to be honest. Ever since the camp he hasn’t left my mind, Not once! I know it sounds crazy but I think I really like him. I sometimes get emotional cause I cant see him, and i dont know what to do! Please help! Thankyou if you do!

    • isabell

      i always ask my mother about boy problems, she knows most answers. try it. :)

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      I think you already know what to do… but my advice would be to take some time and ask God first about this, and your parents as well. I know it’s scary to open up to God and your family about dating stuff, but your parents have a bunch of life experience to help guide you and they know you better than you think… in the end, each family will have their own rules about when it’s o.k. to date. Be a good idea to respect them :)

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Before looking for relationships in the world… you should get your relationship with God fixed! I heard somewhere that human relationships will work a lot better if you have a good relationship with God…
      Why don’t you talk to your parents about this… I’m sure they can help you, and decide what is best for you. Good luck!!

  • isabell

    What age does iShine think its ok to start dating?

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Whatever age your parents feel is best. For my family, I was uncomfortable allowing my daughters to date until they were old enough to drive, and then only under very specific conditions… but many parents are more strict than that and wait until 18. Be careful to respect your mom and dad with this area of your life…

      Nursing homes ain’t that bad. I have sang with my chior at one they were so greatful had happy we talked with them and my friend who was 9 at the time prayed for one lady I was talking to someone else but she steped up and prayed with the lady:) It will turn out okay:)I will pray

      • Tianna < :D @};-

        thanks and I’m sure it will be fine,
        but what scares me is that not all nursing homes are good,
        when my nana was in one they got her meds wrong and she ended up stabbing a nurse with a fork,
        and at another one she got scabies!
        I’m worried about how they’ll treat her
        when we aren’t there…
        I love her a ton but her alzheimer’s is getting really bad!
        and I’m also worried about her not knowing where she is and how she’ll take it…

    School can be a very scary time… especially at a new school or town. We will pray for you to have courage and confidence no matter how you feel.

But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.”

So sorry your frustrated, but give it back to God and I promise it will soon be better.

    pray for me to, this coming school year will be freshman year in high school i’m excited scared and nervous…

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Going into high-school and going to a new school can both be very scary. We want everyone to like us and we are afraid that they will judge us for our clothes or the way we act. When I first went to highschool I was very very nervous. I just wanted to hide in a corner the whole first day. But once I got out of my comfort zone and made some friends, everything got better.
      Also, I think you should just be yourself. Because if people don’t like you for you, and they want you to act different then they aren’t the kind of friends you want. Believe me.
      You are amazing the way God made you!

    Can you pray for my Church because we are moving to a bigger building. So can you pray that it will be an easy move. And nothing will go wrong.

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Ofcourse we can, Nat!
      My parents planted a church when I was in 5th grade and several years later we had to move to a larger church. It was a little scary at first because we loved that building and I kinda didn’t want to move.
      But after we did move, we were so blessed with the new building and area. We were able to minister to so many new people!
      I will be praying for you!

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Dear God, please bless Nat’s church, and help their move to go smoothly. Help them to bless people with their services! :) Let everything work out fine and for the new building to be big enough for all the people that You will bring in. Amen!

    hey guys, could you please pray for a friend of mine? a while back we couldn’t stand each other, then we became good friends and i was even telling him about God and he was listening! but then his girlfriend who he was MADLY in love with and would have married in a heartbeat dumped him with no warning. he was so devastated and lost he didn’t know what to do, and he wrote a fake hit list.. he was kicked out of school immediately and i haven’t seen him since. im friends with him on face book and he looks so lost and alone in his pictures… and i know he is hanging with a bad crowd…and he started to do drugs… im so scared for him, i cry just thinking about it. what scares me now is he wont talk to me anymore.. im scared please pray that God turns his life back into the right direction please! I love him with all of my heart! (not boyfriend type of love.) i love him like a brother and a friend and i don’t want anything else to hurt him. oh what makes me want to cry more is that yesterday was his 16th birthday (he is WAY TO YOUNG FOR ALL OF THIS)… he has over 200 “friends” and only 20 or less said happy birthday.. i really hope that doesn’t carve another scar in his heart… thanks guys. also pray that God gives me peace. i can’t stop thinking about him. ~~Amanda

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Ofcourse we will pray about this Amanda! Ya know a lot of times God will put someone on your heart so that you can just pray for them.
      I know that has happened to me before, where someone was one my heart and I prayed for them, then later that day I talked to them and they said they were really struggling. Just keep praying! I prayed for my aunt and uncle for almost 13 years and talked to them all the time before they finally came around! It takes time and patience but it will happen in God’s own timing.
      I am definitely praying though!

      • amanda

    Well I am homeschooled, and glad that I am! When you don’t go to school, you don’t have to deal with… mean teachers, bullies, and all the drama! Your parents know what’s best for you, and I’m sure they have you homeschooled for a reason! Talk to them about what you’re thinking, and ask them questions. I’m sure you can work things out with them! :)

    • Isabell_The_Awesome

      Yeah, i used to go public and private schools. I only got bullied once, that was at the private school. My parents had to pull me out of public school because i was always in trouble for wittnessing to people. It just seems sooo unfair sometimes

      Oreo, hang in there. Faith is a life-long journey, some days you “feel” close to God and some day’s you “feel” distant. The truth is, God is always there, no matter what you feel! We will pray for you. Blessings and thanks for sharing !

      Dear God, please bless Oreo’s life… thank you for letting him/her get baptized and for allowing them to have a brand new life in You!! :) Bless their life and stay with them through that hard times that they face.

    • Cloe

      yes i will. i know life can be really hard. trust me cuz i’m going through tough stuff at this very moment, the only thing sustaining my family and i being God’s grace. And hope you realize that God loves you no matter what. And when you do good, do it out of love and not for love. Because I used to do things for love just to please God. I would condemn myself alot. Do it out of love and understand that God loves you and does not condemn you. Understanding this gives us children of God the strength and joy to do the right thing. Ask for God’s help as we ask for His help with you. God bless!

  • Charity Coleman

Thanks….lots of love <3

  • Tianna < :D @};-

    I’ll be praying for you,
    I kinda know how you feel…
    a few years ago,
    my nana was my best friend,
    I got in a fight with my mom and ran away,
    my dad came home from work,
    called the police and my grandparents…
    I got back home a few hours later…
    my grandparents never got there though.
    They got in a car wreck and my nana broke her back.
    She went back and forth from hospitals,
    all the time and we planned her death 5 times…
    she is still alive today,
    but she’s in a bed and can’t stand up,
    it was my fault…
    So I know alot about people coming up and feeling sorry for me
    when I cry…
    I made a bad choice,
    I mad e a wall,
    it changed my life!
    I now live in the shadows,
    and my heart has been stabbed,shot and broken
    by me because I wouldn’t let somebody hold me…
    because I WANTED to hurt…
    I WANTED pain…
    lean on GOD and others when you cry.
    be strong AND be human…
    cry and Lean on a shoulder,
    if you don’t,
    you’ll find it’s harder to go back to the
    comfort of people you love!
    when you cry,
    even though you don’t want them to,
    let them love you…
    it helps!

      You ran away? I’ve done that before… but I was only gone for a day and my folks though I was at a friends house or something and they didn’t think anything was wrong…. My brother found out I had run away a few weeks ago, and he yelled at me that I did a stupid thing and that I didn’t deserve to live at the house and so on… but I made him promiss not to tell my mom and dad… He made me FEEL stupid, but as long as God loves me and is looking out for me I’m OK and I don’t care what my crazy brother thinks. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story.

      P.S. I’m only 13, how is it possible to survive the teens??? How old are you?

        I know what it’s like to feel that your all alone and no one cares about you. But even if you don’t feel loved God will ALWAYS love you! I snuck out a bit when I felt like I could of just died but, the only reason I had to come back was because I knew that God loved me and put me in this world for a reason! A great hope song is Hold by Superchick. It’s my fave song and i listen to it when I’m down. Try listening to it. But remember God loves you and He’ll always care for you and be there for you. You’ll be in my prayers!

On the last mission trip, one of the people from our group died from a disease that he had gotten from Uganda ( Africa ) last year. So please keep my brother in prayer. He’s been the person ( besides God) that I’ve always looked up to. Again please keep him in prayer.

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Dear Worried Sister. <3
      I know exactly how you feel, my brother is younger than me (but he is so much taller..). I don't worry about anyone on this planet like I worry about him. I will really be praying for your brother. It sounds like he is a GREAT role model. Keep us updated!

      • The Worried Sister

        Thanks Alexis! I know that he will be going to some place in Asia! I really miss him! And please pray for my oldest brother who is in the Navy? He’s twenty, please ask God to keep both of my brothers safe? Thanks a whole lot, and keep up the good work with your music! I love music, I sing, play piano and the guitar! Thanks for praying!

    Hey could someone pray for me for a couple of things. I like this guy a lot and I really want to go out with him and he wants to go out also, but I am not allowed to date yet. I am really bad at being patient and I am trying to be but it is hard. My sister is cussing a lot and it’s really hard for me not to worry about her again I have a hard time being patient with God taking this from her. I want to do good in school so I can get a scholarship for college because I don’t want to have any debt because as soon as I get done with college I am going to another country to start an orphanage. Can you pray that God will tell me the place to go when I get older. And finally for my grandma she isn’t doing very good and sometimes I am scared I will go down there and she will be sleeping and won’t wake up. It’s really hard because she has been there for me my whole life.

        Hey Hannah, that happened to me once too. It was really hard at first, going to a new church where I didn’t know a single person! And I missed everyone from my old church. I still do sometimes! :/ But try to get to know other people, the good thing is that since it is a CHURCH, just about everyone will be nice to you. Get youself out there and get to know others! I’ll pray for you right now! :)

        Dear God, bless Hannah and her family as they go to a new church. Help them to get to know other good Christian people, and for them to feel right at home! Show them what the right church for them is, and be with them as they go through this. In Your name we pray, AMEN!

        • Hannah Rodriguez

    I surely know someone that is a deserving person in need. This story is about my mother and the struggle she is trying to overcome right now. Before it all happened, my mother was a well-paid nurse working at a hospital. However, she went through some rocky times after she had my baby brother. My mother had to resign in order to take care of him. As her third child, I have seen how much she has gone through. After resigning, she also had a weight gain which she is still desperately trying to take off. She has tried everything from diet pills, to low-calorie diets and exercise but she still hasn’t lost the weight. Her financial status has not been doing so weel either. In order to put food on the table, she has to use her credit cards to pay for it all. But right now she is $30,0000 in debt. I believe my mother deserves your help because all she cares about is her children. She barely thinks about herself. Sometimes I hear her say to herself that it will get better soon. That we will be able to get a better house to live in, soon. That she will get a new, better paying, job so she can play of her debt, soon. That she will be able to lose some weight so she will be able to feel heather.

    • Alexis Of The Rubyz

      Anthony, ofcourse we will be praying for your family, especially your mother.
      Your mom sounds like an incredible lady, and you are very lucky to have her.

    • http://ishinelive.com iShine Brad

      Anthony, I will be praying too. Here’s a great promise for you and your mom. Psalm 37:23-25 in the NLT bible
      “The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
      He delights in every detail of their lives.
      24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
      for the Lord holds them by the hand.
      25 Once I was young, and now I am old.
      Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
      or their children begging for bread.”
      I’m claiming that promise for you and your mom! Hang in there… God will NOT let you down.

      Caleb, God is hearing you. Know that FOR SURE. It’s important that we learn to “look” for his answers in our life, but sometimes He will move slower than we like and it can cause us great frustration. Hang in there, know that GOD does care, He is answering and sooner than you know it will become clear to you as well! Ask you parents or pastors for more help in seeing how and when God may answer you! Blessings from iShine!

    My parents sometimes drive me crazy, an my dad says the meanest things wens hes mad. My sister just died an tommorow was suppose to be her 5th b-day Im havin a hard times goin throw all this.since my best friends arent around. i ask god for help, but its gettn worst. wat should i do, keep prayin?

    • http://ishinelive.com/ iShine Pastor Brad

      I’m so truly very sorry to hear of your loss… I believe your parents are dealing with their grief as best they can…. which means some emotional outbursts for sure. I don’t think they are mad at you or love you less at all. Sometimes as adults, when we get scared or feel like we’ve failed as parents, we get angry at ourselves and it comes out like we are angry with our kids. It’s not true. Your parents need some time to heal and so do you. Be patient, and ask for help when you feel overwhelmed. Ask God and your friends, family and your local pastor or priest to pray with you and your family in your difficult time. KEEP PRAYING. It may feel like it’s getting worse, but in time you will see the hand of God to heal and restore your home and your family. I don’t know how he will do it, but HE WILL.

  • Tianna < :D @};-

    I have an unspoken,
    there’s some people on this website I’m worried about that
    get on here alot and I call them my friends,
    they have some things to work out in some situations that I’m familiar with,
    really I’m somewhat speechless because I don’t want them to get hurt or not come on this website anymore because I would miss them and be concerned about them turning away… which worries me because ishine cares, as do I.
    please pray for me… while I pray for God to guide me through this.
    when you guys hurt I hurt more than you know.
    and really it makes me sick to my stomach for days no kidding!
    I love you guys!
    thanks for always being there iShine! :)

    • http://ishinelive.com/ iShine Pastor Brad

      Hang in there Tianna. Remember that GOD gets to be God. We don’t have to worry about solving everyone’s life challenges, instead we can “trust” God for them, like we do for ourselves! Thanks for your heart and compassion, just remember to trust that God can handle it just fine… :)

  • Nicole_the_Awesome

    So… I’ve been thinking a lot about the topic of bullying lately. I heard the story about Amanda Todd today, and it honestly just BROKE my heart!!!!! She was bullied so terribly that she finally took her own life. Once bullying reaches the point that the victim thinks suicide, it seriously needs to stop. In fact, bullying should never even start. I know that other people have different reasons for bullying someone, but it is never right. We don’t think about how much it hurts the other person when we make fun of them. What do you know, they might go home and think about commiting suicide or cutting themselves, because you hurt them. How would you feel then, knowing that you caused them so much pain?!

    So lately, I’ve been praying for all the kids and teenagers across America (and the world) who have/are being bullied. Asking God to give them the strength to go on, and to realize that their lives are worth MUCH MORE than they think. I’d like to ask you all to pray, too.
    Also please pray for the people doing the bullying. Ask God to show them that they are causing people real pain to people, and that what they are doing is very wrong.

    I believe that if we all pray for the bullies, and victims of bullying, it can and WILL stop. If every Christian takes this problem to the Heavenly Father, we WILL see a change!!
    This just has to stop… bullying is worse now that it ever has been, what with the power of the internet to spread lies and rumors. Let’s start a revolution, a revolution of people who stand UP for each other, instead of pushing them down!!!!!

    Sorry for the long post, but I really wanted to share what was on my heart. Please keep the things that I mentioned in prayer! ♥

    • http://ishinelive.com/ iShine Pastor Brad

      Great post Nicole. Thanks for sharing with iShine and I’m convinced your talking to a great number of kids feeling the same way. In fact we’re about to tape a series on “bullying” next week with Rachel Chan and Jamie Grace for KNECT season 4. Peace to you and may God give you the courage to continue to “SHINE”.

      • Nicole_the_Awesome

        Thank you Brad!! I hope it helps someone.
        And I was just thinking the other day that iShine needed to do something talking about bullying! Great idea, can’t wait to see it.

    Hey Guys could you please pray for my one friend on Sunday he was riding his moped and home and wrecked it. He didn’t do anything stupid it just started shaking and fell on him. I believe God was with him because his head should have hit the ground but it didn’t. He tore several maybe all of his ligaments and a tendon in his knee sprained both ankles and has a minor fraction in his hand :( He has to go for an MRI to see if anything else is wrong and will find out in a week if he has to have surgery. Right now he is using a wheelchair at school but can use crutches for short periods of time. I would really appreciate the prayers he is a great friend and actually someone that I like as more than a friend.

    • http://ishinelive.com/ iShine Pastor Brad

      Hannah, one of the Hebrew names of God in the bible is Jehovah “Rapha” or “Rapa” which means…the God who heals. It reflects one of the infinite facets of God’s character and personality and love. We’ll ask God to help heal your friend and provide a healthy recovery in time. Thanks for sharing.

  • Rebecca Vazquez

    Hey ishine i would like to pray for my friend whose dad has just divorced from her mom and my friend is really sad because she crys out to God so that her dad will come back with them please pray for her and her family thank you
    YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

    • http://ishinelive.com/ iShine Pastor Brad

      Rebecca, we’ll definitely pray for your friends family. Thanks for sharing with us, and for sure there are lots of kids out there who can sympathize. The bottom line for your friend and anyone who’s parents are separated…is the pain of abandonment. NO matter how gracious and kind a parent is in the process, the kids will feel abandoned and hurt by whichever parent leaves the home. That stinks and makes for some serious anger and frustration and sadness. The good news is that Jesus can actually speak to that in everyone’s life. Spending time in prayer – listening to Christian music and hanging out with your positive friends will help to buffer the sting and give you a healthier place to vent your emotions. We’ll be praying and you and your friend hang in there! PEACE.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      I just prayed for your fried, Rebecca… and I’m trusting that God will take care of all her problems!
      And by the way, she is SO lucky to have such a caring friend as you! I can tell that you really love her. :)

  • Cristiana

    Hi iShine. I would like to pray for two of my friends.

    My one friend told me a few weeks ago that she forces herself to throw up after eating a lot and only eats twice a day. She says she’s not bulimic, but it seems that way to me. She’s super gorgeous and kind, but she is really insecure. She thinks just because no guys like her that she’s too fat for them. Her family doesn’t know about it. She goes to church but I don’t think she goes because she wants to. I’ve tried my best to give her advice, and she hasn’t been talking about it although I’m sure she still binges. I want to pray that she realizes that she’s beautiful and doesn’t need a guy to satiate her insecurities.

    Also, I have another friend who is desperately chasing girls. He has been recently heartbroken because the girl he really liked began a relationship with one of our close friends. Now he constantly rants about wanting to be in a public school (we’re all homeschooled) so that he can get a “hot” girl. Sometimes, he gets inappropriate with what he says. Some of the people he hangs out keep encouraging him to find a girl. I keep telling him to wait and that God has a girl picked out for him. On top of that, he is super sensitive. I’m afraid that he might do something crazy if he doesn’t get his way. I just want you guys to pray alongside me that he will focus on God and not girls. He’s Christian and talks about God, but I think he’s being distracted by girls. He used to go to a youth group, and I’m trying to get him to come to my youth group.

    Thank you so much iShine! God bless your ministry.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

      Aw, I will definitely be praying for your friends’ situations… and you should keep praying for them, too. And just BE there for them… I’ll be praying, let me know how it all turns out.
      God bless!!!

      • Cristiana

        Thank you so much! I am always praying for them. As of now, my friend says that she realizes that she doesn’t need to be “perfect” to be her best. I hope she keeps going in that direction.

        However, my other friend still needs MAJOR prayer. He’s going bazerk for this one girl who is our mutual friend. The girl seems to like him too, but I’m not sure about what they’re getting themselves into.
        Thank you so much for your prayers!

  • Cloe

    Hey Monica! I know what you feel exactly cuz guess what. That’s the story of my life. Constantly slipping away from God, then coming back, then doing the exact same thing. I realized that it’s because I do things for God’s love. I didn’t fully understand that God loves me not because of how I perform, but because I am His child. And that I should do the right things out of love, not for His love. He already loves me. I advise you to be setting time aside for God. And you know something I love about God? Everytime I’m with Him, i don’t have to go on my knees or close my eyes. I can walk around as I talk to Him. I can laugh, cry and let out all my feelings if I want to. Remember, being a child of God is relationship. God loves you. And please pray for me too. I’ve been doing the same thing(slipping away). God bless!

    • Kenzie

      Me, too

  • Cloe

    Going through a rough time as a teen. No school (homeschool with barely enough books), parents low paying jobs, big dreams (no way i’m giving up) and family problems. Anyway, just need some prayer to go through this to the end. One time, I never went to school for 1 year or had any books for that matter. When I did go to scul, I was so supernaturally smart that the teacher wanted me to move up one grade. And I remember how God has brought my family from living in a one-roomed house to a pretty darn good house. He’s brought us far. I just need some prayer to change guys. This trial has helped me realize the sort of person i really was and i never knew. please pray for me. I need help not to give up on myself. I’m willing to change for God.

    • Nicole_the_Awesome

        I think I can…I’ll try, but I can’t make any promises. I most likely can. Oh, wait…we have plans tomarrow night, so I’m really not sure. I’ll probably have to leave some messages for you tomarrow morning, and then chat with you at the same time on Saturday…again I might beable to at four.

  • Kenzie

    Also, Amy…I posted a comment on Knect TV. The link I mean…

  • Kenzie

  • Kenzie Parkenson`

      • Kenzie Parkensen’
