Anything, really! But here are some examples: 

Your GiveSendGo Campaign: Are you raising funds on GiveSendGo for a cause or person you deeply care about? Thank you for choosing GiveSendGo! We'd be honored to pray for the purpose behind your fundraising – whether it's for a new project, medical expenses, a mission trip, or an urgent situation.

Relationships: In our lives, there's often someone, be it a family member, friend, or significant other, who could use some prayer. They might be facing challenges, considering new opportunities, or dealing with health issues. You could be seeking to build new connections or mend broken relationships. Let us pray for that person in your life who needs prayer. 

Guidance and Decisions: If you're facing important choices or seeking clarity in a situation, let us pray for you. We hope to lift you up and ask God for wisdom, vision, and guidance for you. 

Health and Healing: At GiveSendGo, we understand that health-related worries are often why people seek funds. Such concerns can create stress for both the person facing them and those who care about them. Whether it's for yourself or someone you know, we're here to pray and ask God for physical or emotional well-being.

Peace and Strength: During tough times, God promises comfort and rest in Him. We'd like to offer prayers for Christ's peace and strength to embrace you in your struggles.

Work and Finances: Job-related difficulties or financial worries can be challenging. Do you need prayer for hope and support during these uncertain moments? We’d love to offer up those prayers to Christ during this time in your life. 

Spiritual Growth: Like Paul's prayers for wisdom and understanding, we believe in the importance of prayer for spiritual growth. It's not only about knowing how to live in obedience but also deepening your love for God. Let us pray for your journey.

World Issues: Global concerns often weigh on our hearts – from politics to natural disasters and conflicts. When you call a prayer partner, ask for prayer concerning a global issue, something in your state, or even your local community.

Your Church: If you're part of a church family, we're here to pray for it. Whether it's an upcoming event, a conflict, mission trips, evangelism, discipleship opportunities, or support for individuals within the church – we're here for you.

Gratitude and Praise: Beyond praying for you, we're eager to hear and celebrate your praises. Have you experienced God's peace during challenges, provision in times of need, healing for a loved one, or a deepened walk with Him? We're excited to join you in praising God and hearing about His work in your life!

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:12-13 (ESV)
