Thank you harrisey!!

Just wanted to share with you the reading in my "Prayers for the Toilet" book this morning (btw, it is not really called that, it is just the only opportunity I get to read anything spiritual in the morning! ) NB: Try not to think of me on the toilet when you read the 1st couple of lines!!

Here, master, in this quiet place,
Where anyone may kneel,
I also come to ask for Grace,
Believing you can heal.

If pain of body, stress of mind,
Destroys my inward Peace,
In prayer for others may I find,
The secret of release.

If self upon its sickness feeds
And turns my life to gall,
Let me not brood upon my needs,
But simply tell you all.

You never said 'You ask too much'
To any troubled soul.
I long to feel your healing touch-
Will you not make me whole?

But if the thing I most desire
Is not your way for me,
May Faith, when tested in the fire,
Prove it's integrity.

Of all my prayers, may this be chief:
Till Faith is fully grown,
Lord, disbelieve my unbelief,
And claim me as your own.

I just thought it was so amazingly apt and it was like this little poem was talking to SO many different people who have posted on this thread - I was @ God's timing and wanted to share with you all!

Off to have a look at new house today - just to make sure it is still there!

[longwaytogo]

cd thanks for that so apt isn't it.

[PandaG]

Thanks so much CD for the roundup and new thread again.

All well here, just very busy! praying for you all.

[CaptainDippy]

Thanks Panda!

Well, I do have to admit, I was particularly thinking of you when I wrote it out lwtg - how is today honey?? //[hugs]

Feling tired, but ok. Dd's are at nursery, I'm at work. Went to see house this morning - it is still there - hurrah!!

[CaptainDippy]

Could you please pray for my granny. I've just had a letter. YES - A LETTER!! ...from my mum (grrr! ) telling me she went into hospital for a routine op to remove a calcium lump from her ear beginning of last week and they found cancer and MRSA!!!! She has lost most of ear and some of her cheek / face, but is home recovering now. Apparentely she hasn't seen the damage yet, poor love. They are hoping they have caught all the cancer in time. She is 89. I don't know what to pray, but please, just pray - Thank you!

[PandaG]

Will pray CD don't know how exactly, but will lift her up to our heavenly Father, and He knows

[longwaytogo]

I'm ok,very very tired, ds totally miserable has screamed and showed off most of day hope he not going down with any thing op a week on fri.

[MarsLady]

Update:

The funeral is tomorrow. Please pray for Mandy and the boys.

Dave has another PET scan tomorrow! Pray for good results.

[MaryBS]

Marsy - praying for Mandy and the boys, that they gain some peace at this dreadful time. Also praying for good news for Dave.

CD - praying for your dear Gran, and for you too, that hurt may be mended.

CD loved your prayer. I think the last verse was meant for me - I'm always praying about my unbelief . I like the name "Prayers for the toilet" - maybe you should compile a book called that? Whatever next - maybe have t'internet in there, and set up a "bog blog"

lwtg - praying for the family of the poor lady that died, also for the lady thats very sick . Praying for you too . I thought of you and everyone else suffering with depression at the "healing and wholeness" service on Sunday, and said a prayer for you all.

[texasrose]

Hello all!

Thank you CD for sorting this thread out - you star! Praying for your granny. my heart goes out to her.

Marsy, I'll be prying for the funeral tomorrow, that God would hold that family in his arms of love.

thank you all for praying for my dd. Today was sooooo much better. There were a couple of tantrums this morning but I spoke to her in no uncertain terms and told her I wasn't having it, and she brightened up completely! She is v. sensitive I think (her skin is an indication of this) and maybe she is just reacting to the busyness of school and then going to the childminder's for lunch (I pick her up at 2.30). I've been fantasising about giving up work and home-schooling her...not that in the cold light of day I think that would be best for her (or me!) , but it's a lovely idea...

See ya later!

[weirdbird]

Am feeling really emotional, had the scan and Consultant appt today (another 3 hours at the Hosp) they are concerned about the amount of fluid I am retaining, to the point of there might be a problem with the baby, have to go back in 4 weeks for another scan and appt, but Home Birth, Water Birth all been highly un-recomended as they want to do tests as soon as baby is born, am off to try and find out some info as was too shocked to ask any questions at the time.

Have been crying all day, am scared about baby and petrified that going into Hospital will trigger PND again as well.

Am definitely going to speak to MW about me starting AND as I think this may be the last straw, feel like hibernating and not leaving the house which last time turned into me actually being scared to leave the house.

Feel like a wet dish rag

[MarsLady]

Weirdbird.. praying for you and the baby honey.

[longwaytogo]

wierdbird praying for peace of mind for you and perfect health for baby.

Could you please pray that dd1 comes home soon - she went out at 10a.m this morning and hasn't come home her phone is off and i don't have any of her friends no's i'm worried sick.

[PandaG]

Praying Wierdbird, for peace for you, and health for both of you. We are here for you honey. sending you a virtual hug.

Longway - praying for you too, and that your DD returns home very soon. Sending you a virtual hug too. LOng shot I know, but if there is anything practical I can do too please ask.

Pandas are back from a Light Night at church, was really fab - apple bobbing, eat the sweets out of jelly no hands allowed (and that was one of the vicars and 3 other adults) eat the biscuits hanging from a string, night light painting, guess the name of the bear and no of sweets in jar, but also lots of praise with mad actions and a short message. All the children got party bags too. Really well done, we all had a fab time, just so fantastic to see my ds worshipping wholeheartedly

[PandaG]

Praying for Mandy and family and Dave's scan too.

[longwaytogo]

ok i've found her but she is going to be so dead when she actually walks through the door.

[PandaG]

So glad she is ok, I was sitting here sweating at the thought. Is it the first time she has been incommunicado?

[longwaytogo]

pandag yes it is. I think she's as shocked as me at the thought that I been freaking over her.

[CaptainCaveman]

Congrats on the new thread cd - its getting big already!

Mufti you probably helped that lady with panic attacks more than you can know! If you've never had them before it really does make you feel like you're going insane and need to be locked away doesn't it! Imagine the relief of speaking to someone who'd been through it too. Same thing happened to me - one of God's "happy coincidences!"

CD, the caveman is also potty training at the moment, going fairly well but not cracked night times yet. Thought we had after 2 dry nights but then 2 wet beds on Sunday night! Prayers for everyone who is currently potty training - wisdom for the lo's and patience for the 'trainers'.

For everyone who's feeling a bit, or a lot, at the moment, I pray that the Holy Spirit fills us all with peace of mind, serenity and calm. That we may be filled with enough fire to face the challenges ahead of us as we recover our physical and mental health, and that when we lack clarity to even think straight that we have our angels on mn to pray on our behalves.

Thankyou God for leading me to such a warm and loving fellowship group. God is indeed GOOD!
