Prayer Requests
If something is weighing on you, we would count it a privilege to pray for you. You do not need to attend anywhere, believe anything in particular, or have ever used one of our programs.
Every request is read by a person and held in confidence.
Why We Offer This
We Would Be Glad to Pray for You
Bestowing the Basics is a faith-based organization. Our programs are open to everyone with no questions asked and no beliefs required — and alongside the practical help, prayer is something we can offer freely too.
Send us whatever you are comfortable sharing. It can be as brief as a name.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
Send a Request
Submit a Prayer Request
Share as much or as little as you like. If you would rather your request stayed between you and the person who reads it, say so in the message and we will keep it that way.
What Happens Next
After You Send It
A person reads it
Not an inbox rule and not a queue. Someone on our team reads every request that comes in.
We pray
Requests marked private stay with the person who read them. The rest are shared only with our prayer volunteers.
We follow up if you asked us to
Leave an email address and we will reply. Leave it blank and your request stays anonymous.
We never publish prayer requests, never add you to a mailing list, and never pass your details to anyone else.
If You Also Need Help
Prayer and Groceries Are Not Either/Or
If what you are carrying has a practical side to it as well, please say so. We can often help with both.
Something urgent
Fire, job loss, medical bills, a utility shut-off, or an unsafe living situation. Emergency Aid is reviewed case by case.
Food and essentials
Free hygiene and household goods, community meals, summer lunches, and a pantry open 24 hours a day.
Just to talk
Call us. We are a small volunteer team in Athol and we would rather hear from you than not.
You Are Not a Burden
Asking is not weakness, and you do not have to be at the end of your rope to reach out. We are glad you did.
