This thread is a safe space where anyone - regular, occasional visitor, lurker, committed Christian or waverer - is welcome to come and leave their prayers in the knowledge that they will be prayed for. No problem is too big or small to share here, and if you just want to come and say 'hi', that's fine too.
Looking back through our previous thread, we pray in particular for:
abbsismyhero - for help with her anxiety and relationship with an abusive ex.

ethelb - for her MIL who has blood clots in her leg and suspected sarcoma, and for all who love and care for her.

Paulat2112 - for friends who are experiencing relationship difficulties.
PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her pregnant DD2, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

sweetandsour - for her auntie who has been diagnosed with cancer, and for her mum and all who love and care for her auntie.
Teallove - for her to feel free to move on following the breakdown of a relationship.
Trazzletoes - for her 6-year-old DS who has previously had cancer and who is now unwell again - praying for a swift (and hopefully reassuring) diagnosis and for Trazzletoes and all who love him at this worrying time.
Tweebee - for her DS to settle at nursery.
And also thinking of friends who haven't visited for a while, who who pop in only occasionally, including ALittleFaith, Anjelica27, Kaykat, JugglingFromHereToThere, ktef, legohurtswhenyoustandonit, Pandora97, shortscotty, weegiemum and others.
And, as always, prayers for anyone I've forgotten (with apologies), for all who lurk but don't post, and for newbies who may not have posted yet.
This prayer was posted by Edith on the old thread, and I really like it and would like it to stand for what this new thread is all about:
All that we are, Lord,
we place into your hands.
All that we do, Lord,
we place into your hands.
Everything we work for,
we place into your hands.
Everything we hope for,
we place into your hands.
The troubles that weary us,
we place into your hands.
Thoughts that disturb us,
we place into your hands.
Each that we pray for,
we place into your hands.
Each that we care for,
we place into your hands. Amen

Faith. Hoping your session went well. You will get through this and come out of the other side.
Prayers Orchid for both you in coping with your anxiety and dark thoughts and your dh in that he can be more supportive. We are here if you need us.
BES when is your celebration meal for being supermum? Surely that is more deserving than a meal for getting a job in my book. You get annual leave and payment for your efforts in a job yet you don't have any breaks and no financial reward being a single parent, although I appreciate that you get far greater reward for being mum to your dc and knowing that you do your absolute best for them and they love and appreciate you. That's worth more than gold, however your well overdue your celebration meal for the job of supermum in my opinion. Anyway have some 
from me.
My back is much better today. That will teach me to lift tubs full of compost without bending my knees 
. My orchids are looking lovely still. I must be doing something right and they are easier to lift 
Tuo, thanks for the new thread and the lovely prayer as usual. It's really kind of you to organise this and I appreciate it, especially as you are so busy.
How is the little boy who was having more tests to see if cancer had returned? Any news? His poor parents must be desperate with worry. I am praying for the family for peace and comfort as they wait for news and for the little boy for everything to be ok and for him to be happy and pain-free. Gid bless them.
Prayers for everyone else too.
Tuo thank you very much for the wonderful round up as usual 
The counselling session was very difficult. We spoke about some really difficult topics and I dissociated as I was talking as my mind just couldn't handle thinking about it. We ran out of time so will have another split session but our plan is to have a joint session and then a split session another week. I saw the primary mental health team today. I've been referred to a psychiatrist for a medication review and being sent on a course. They don't think counselling will help (?) Because I've paid for some privately and they think that's enough. I'm not sure how I feel at the moment. Exhausted but it'd be a miracle if I could actually switch off enough to sleep.
On a positive note DSD was amazing this evening. I feel like I was really grumpy with her at times but just before leaving she gave me a cuddle and then came back for a second one before giving me two kisses. She's never ever kissed me before, it made my heart melt!
Edith prayers for your spiritual formation journey and I hope you can work things out with your dp.
