Spring into Summer - Christian Prayer Thread

847 replies

DutchOma · 17/05/2011 20:18

It always amazes me to see the range of things we pray for: from praying for people with cancer at the one end of the range to praying for a lost telephone. With difficult mothers-in-law, marital difficulties and unfeeling fellow Christians all wrapped up in it somewhere.
And knowing with joyful certainty that God hears us all, that no request is too frivolous for Him and that He loves to hear our prayers.
So, I just want to pick out a few highlights to keep our prayers focussed:
We pray for Amberlight and Sweetestthing who are dealing with cancer. We commit the two of you to the care of our Lord and look forward to you sharing your progress with us. We are here for you, knowing how important praying friends are ? there is scientific evidence for this.

Then, there are a few of us struggling with health issues:- Madhairday and Gingercurl?s sister. I would also like to mention my dh, Bob, here. I so value your prayers because I find it very difficult to pray for myself and for him when the going gets tough.

BlackeyedSusan and Teaandcakeplease are both dealing with the break-up of their marriage and bringing up their children on their own. We pray for strength and also for the undivided support of the churches they belong to. Especially in BES? case we could wish for a bit more understanding.

With CazandBelle we rejoice over the latest scan and pray for peace of mind for the rest of the pregnancy. Do share your feelings with us Caz, if you are able.

PositiveAttitude brought two prayer requests concerning her dds. Dd2 was in a car crash a few weeks ago and really needed another car. Wonderfully, her boyfriend was able to come to her rescue. And dd3 lost her phone on a trip that was a miracle in itself after her recent illness. Here again, prayer was answered and a new phone supplied.

Dippy, we love you, thanks for prompting us to do a new summary. We grieve with you over the loss of friends, but rejoice over birthday parties and broody chickens.

Let?s pray.

Hi

amberlight · 17/05/2011 20:34

Prayer aplenty, and for Mary's friend with brain pressure problems ...

madhairday · 17/05/2011 21:05

Thankyou DO. I'm praying for Bob right now...

Praying for Mary's friend.

Thanks for praying for my mum. The op went really well and apparently her heart went back into rhythm on the first shock which is wonderful, she has come home tonight so doing well. :)

CaptainDippy · 17/05/2011 21:52

Wonderful MHD

Oh, DO, thank you for your comment. I am completely blubbering now. I love you all too xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

gingercurl · 17/05/2011 22:11

Thanks for the new thread DO

Amber, I like your approach of chasing people around the room with the policy . It is so much more constructive than what I do in those circumstances.

Prayers please for one of the leaders in a church I go to regularly. He and his wife are having serious marital problems and have separated while they work out what to do.

blackeyedsusan · 17/05/2011 22:59

missed the start of the new thread ( again ) posted that I had prayed for crystal and madhairsmum (start typing and then go and put children to bed before posting)

blackeyedsusan · 18/05/2011 07:29

oh, i forgot to say, thankyou dutchoma...

Has anyone heard from poppy?

MaryBS · 18/05/2011 07:30

Thanks BES, its appreciated. That's good news about your mum MHD :).

Also good news on Crystal, it was a change in medication rather than a deterioration in her condition which caused the problems, so she is home again and feeling better after having had her medication adjusted :)

DutchOma · 18/05/2011 08:48

I sent a personal message to Poppy, but haven't heard back.
Good to hear about Crystal and MHD's mum.
Praying for Gingercurl's leaders and their problems. Praying that they will be able to sort things out with the help of Scripture and the Holy Spirit

madhairday · 18/05/2011 11:29

Good news about Crystal Mary :)

Praying for Ginger's leaders.

Have messaged Poppy on FB but no reply, bit worried about her.

CaptainDippy · 18/05/2011 19:02

Hello

MaryBS · 18/05/2011 20:06

Hello :)

SweetestThing · 18/05/2011 21:46

Hello, lovely thread.

Big scan tomorrow, with a lot resting on the results so please, if you can fit me into your prayers, I would be so grateful.

Thank you and love to you all.

PositiveAttitude · 18/05/2011 22:04

Will definitely pray Sweetest. Where is it in your neck, is it in the parotid? Sorry if I am being nosey!

SweetestThing · 18/05/2011 22:05

It is! I am scheduled to have a parotidectomy and a radical neck dissection. Are you a medic, perchance?

blackeyedsusan · 18/05/2011 22:54

Have prayed sweetest. prayed that you and your dp/dcs will stay calm. that the drs will do a good job of treating you and that you ill be high as a kite pain free after the op.

whats a parotid?

PositiveAttitude · 19/05/2011 07:10

Hi Sweetest, I was a nurse, but that is not why I asked. I had a parotidectomy in November last year. If you want to talk off-board please PM me. Have prayed for today for you. Is it an MRI scan today?

BES the parotid is a gland in your neck, sort of under your ear-ish area.

amberlight · 19/05/2011 07:27

Much prayer...
Still feeling wobbly after yesterday's scary argument with someone. Please can I ask for another prayer?

PositiveAttitude · 19/05/2011 07:37

Of course, Amber a prayer and a ((Hug))

thejaffacakesareonme · 19/05/2011 07:48

Sweetest and Amber - prayers for both of you.

DutchOma · 19/05/2011 08:18

Sweetest and Amber, please be assured that you are in the Lord's care and that the Holy Spirit Himself is interceding for you before the throne of God.

madhairday · 19/05/2011 08:59

Praying for you very much Sweetest and Amber.

I have my seekers group this morning - studying women in the old testament, today is a bit of a difficult passage (Miriam) but I don't want to avoid, I want to grapple, so please pray I don't completely mangle it!!

praying sweetest How did it go?

amber how are you today?

amberlight · 19/05/2011 16:37

I'm really tired and still feel a bit about the situation yesterday. I know God is there and will help me with the answer, though.

More prayers for everyone...

madhairday · 19/05/2011 19:39

Praying Amber...

I'm feeling really worried about the future today. Not so much for me, though it does affect me, but for other disabled and chronically ill people. The future is looking so dark with the cuts, I have posted this thread but there isn't a lot of interest around, which reflects society in general. Please take some time to comment if you feel concerned on this, the issue needs raising, there is so much ignorance around it is sad. I want to pray about this, I hope you'll join me in praying that we will look after our most vulnerable citizens and that we will give them so much more value. I see so much in society that hangs on what we do, not who we are, and the cuts seem to be reflecting this. :(
