Welcome to the Prayer page at Idlewild. Here you will find resources such as who and what to pray for specifically, including requests from the leaders of the church, upcoming events, Watchman on the Wall signup, and more.
Our goal is to initiate fresh, heart-stirring prayer content and scriptural, Christ-focused encouragement to motivate Spirt led prayer in the church.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
(Mark 1:35, 2005 NIV)
I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing…. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
(John 15:5,7 NASB)
Join Pastor Greg Murphy for a time of heart preparation, worship-based prayer, and intercession each Wednesday evening 5:30-6:15 in the Prayer Room beside the Fireside Room. Prayer can lead us to powerfully encounter God in relationship, worship and ministry. Let’s Seek God’s face together!

I am writing for request prayer for a friendship. One that has almost fallen completely away, no matter how hard I try. I miss my friend so very badly. If there is anything that I can possibly do to repair, I pray to be aware of my mistakes and forgiveness from them.
I'm asking for prayers that all my lab test and medical procedures come back normal. I also ask for prayers for my mother who is on hospice and my brother who has stage 4 cancer. I'm experiencing anxiety and asking for prayers that my heart is calm and to give my family strength to care for each other. Thank you and God Bless.
Just an update. I had submitted a request for prayer related to obtaining new employment. I want to thank those of you who took the time to petition God but sadly my prayer were not answered and continue to go unanswered. We have enough saved to get us through November but my disabled husband and I will be homeless in December. Thank you all so much for trying but God clearly doesn’t have a good plan for my life.
That God exceedingly blesses Pastor Ken and his ministers as we walk this earthly journey and continue to be Christ to each other.
My husband and I were stranded with car trouble. I was afraid and was praying. We were coming home from my choir rehearsal at my church in Dade City where I'm organist and accompanist when Pastor Ken pulled over.
We had donkeys witnessing this in the field close by. But I really think they were angels. I have a new and exciting insight when I think about the Christ family now and the lowly birth of Christ.
In the middle of the dark night the donkeys were comforting. It seemed like they understood my fear and provided comfort to me, also.
Pastor Ken got us oil and we did not make it home. I think a gasket blew and the truck died.
My son picked us up.
Please pray that we can get into a new vehicle soon.
Praise the Lord in all circumstances. God bless you all.
We ask for prayer for my sister Ivelisse and his husband Rafael. His family has three very sick members. His father Rafael Quiñones had a heart attack, his sister Nelly Quiñones is hospitalized in intensive care with heart and kidney failure and his other sister Frances Beltran had a cancer recurrence and started chemotherapy again. This family needs the strength of the Lord to face this.
