Thanks, CD. Sister's eye has most of its sight back, but she's still not 100% so prayers would still be appreciated. And for me as I face a really tricky couple of weeks trying to secure support for my own needs.

CaptainDippy Thu 12-Nov-09 14:16:22

Its great to have the summary for all the prayers needed, Thanks Captain.

Am I allowed to add my request to the list?
DD3's health is declining again (cfs/me) and for DD1 living away from home.

Thank you.

Hello - I haven't posted in this thread before although I lurk occasionally and add my prayers to all of yours (you do a great job Captain Dippy!)

Could I ask you to pray for me please? I'm feeling a bit low atm. I've suffered from depression in the past, and have had a bad time recently. I feel a bit lost, and I sometimes feel I'm going through the motions of faith, rather than really feeling it. Could some of you shinier people pop me on the end of your prayer lists please? Thank you all.

amberlight Sat 14-Nov-09 09:03:18

Prayers for everyone continuing. MrsMT, will certainly do that. And hello! smile

CaptainDippy Sat 14-Nov-09 10:01:56

I can totally relate to everything you posted MrsMT, so you are most certainly not alone smile Will definitely pray for you and do pop by when you can - we're quite a friendly bunch really wink Watch out for DutchOma though - she's terrible for swearing!! wink (Teasing) xx

CaptainDippy Sat 14-Nov-09 10:02:29

Praying for your DD's PAO. xx

Hello - bit better day today so thank you everyone! Hope everyone else is doing ok too.

Am looking out for DutchOma so we can form Swearers Corner together. smile Have spent years trying to get rid of my pre-Christian habit of taking God's name in vain - will take me a few more years to get rid of my sweariness!

CaptainDippy Sun 15-Nov-09 10:06:18

Glad you are feeling happier today MrsMT smile - I was only teasing about DutchOma - she is one of the more "senior" members of our community here and never swears or says naughty things, but the other day she used the word "crap" on the thread shockwinkgrin

shelleylou Sun 15-Nov-09 10:32:27

Hi, Thank you all for you continuing prayers. It is so nice to know that people i dont know are thinking of me and my family in this awful time

DutchOma Sun 15-Nov-09 13:16:34

Teasing apart, so often we feel low because we think that we are not doing enough for God (just going through the motions) whereas we would feel much happier if we concentrated on what God has done for us.
There is another thread in this topic on Our God is an Awesome God, that's true of course, but you know what? This awesome God loves you, yes you and you and you more than you love yourself. Just sit for a bit and think about that.

DutchOma Sun 15-Nov-09 13:18:20
myjobismum Sun 15-Nov-09 21:10:45

Praying, praying, praying!

N has gone to bed without a breast feed tonight - so we are moving on - I will still enjoy my cuddles though - prayers please for a smooth transition tomorrow night onward - N took the leap in not asking for it, so I am just following her lead. Bit sad, but it is what I wanted to happen anyway.

Thank you!

notsofarnow Mon 16-Nov-09 15:00:09

CaptainDippy Mon 16-Nov-09 18:00:55

Thank you for that DO smile

weegiemum Tue 17-Nov-09 08:31:21

We are appreciating all your prayers very much.

I'm struggling with feeling pretty low, on new anti-d's which are making me a bit sleepy, though the pleurisy seems to be much better, only hurts when I cough really hard (then it shock hurts, though!)

Good news - dh has been able to come off his antidepressants and is feeling brilliant, he's writing again (his way of worshipping, really!) and getting on fine with work, which he sometimes finds a little boring.

Kids are well, we are doing OK - things feel just a little more positive! We will reconsider our options for abroad in the new year, but not just now.

And the sun is shining! Praise God!!

MaryBS Tue 17-Nov-09 08:34:40

Praying WM!

We had a lovely time at Disneyland. Feeling very tired though still!

M44 Tue 17-Nov-09 10:28:50

Hello- just to say I am totally recovered. Going on retreat this weekend to think about the future...please do pray....it is an important weekend.
