MN Christian Prayer Request Thread: : Back to school soon

498 replies

DutchOma · 29/08/2010 21:44

It's been a while since I did an update for the prayer thread; I hope that God will remember those I forget:

Thanks be to God for wonderful exam results for MrsCadwallader and for PositiveAttitude dh's new job.
Prayers for Jentlydoesit's DP to find a new job before the money runs out.

Several regulars on the thread find life quite tough at the moment for one reason or another, let's bear each other up in prayer and practical help where possible: CaptainDippy, M44 (whose very much loved mother-in-law died last week), PositiveAttitude, Teaandcakeplease, Madhairday, Blueeyeshadow, Shieldbug (please pray that all fibroids and cysts will disappear before the next consultant's appointment)

Special thoughts go to Swaliswan for the healing of her marriage and for a safe pregnancy and delivery. Also for Hermya321, it's getting close now, only a few more weeks to go.

We pray for the family in MaMoTTaT's church who lost a daughter at a relatively young age. MaMoTTaT will be better known as FAQ or ToccataandFudge,( how I loved that name)

Last but not least we pray for Amberlight in her worry about ds who is struggling with eye problems for which he needs an operation and who is also having tests for hormonal problems. Please pray for as good an outcome as possible, so that he can carry on with his A-levels and rugby. And for peace of mind for Amber, who really could do with the pressure off for a bit.

So let's give thanks to God for His presence among us and get praying....

I have been reading and praying.
Feel like my feet are just touching solid ground again! First 'normal' week we have had in ages!!
Things generally very good here-some doors closing-others opening. Please pray for peace of mind that we are making the right decision about dh's job.
Thank you. Love and prayers. x

Hermya321 · 07/10/2010 08:37

Praying for you all as I read through.

Mary Happy Birthday to your DD

M44 Praying for peace as you step into this new stage of things.

PA Praise to God for a peaceful discussion and for the job offers for DD1.

Shield I'm praying praying praying for you to be able to meet LO soon.

As for me, I'm feeling quite peaceful about LO's impending arrival and quite looking forward to meeting him (and hopefully being able to figure out what his name is). I've had some cramping over the last few days and some pains, so I'm hoping that this is the start of something. Please pray that it is. Thank you!!

DutchOma · 07/10/2010 08:56

Praying Hermya, mainly that you will feel that the Lord is with you throughout it all.

Happy birthday Mary's dd.

I love the prayer I just received in my Taize email...

"Jesus our peace, even in our inner contradictions, you change our hearts and the darkness can become a Gospel light."

madhairday · 07/10/2010 16:55

That's great Mary.

Please pray for a friend's daughter and grandson. GS is severely disabled (he is 2) and in hospital atm, and his mum (friend's daughter) has been rushed into hospital herself and has a blood clot on her brain. :(

shieldbug · 07/10/2010 17:29

madhair praying

DutchOma · 07/10/2010 17:52

That's a very tough situation Madhairday. Adding my prayers.

Oh Madhairday, praying!!

MaryBS · 07/10/2010 19:17

Praying MHD

gingercurl · 07/10/2010 20:37

MHD adding my prayers.

CaptainDippy · 07/10/2010 20:38

Praying MHD - please keep us informed. xx

Great stuff about the jobs PA Grin but not so good about your neck - sounds like you really need to go back to your GP. Hugs. xx

madhairday · 08/10/2010 11:30

Haven't hear anything more yet.

Praying for you PA.

Where is TACP? Hope you are ok, haven't seen you around?

Asking for more prayers this morning - dh has gone off to Uganda for the next 18 days, he is co-leading a conference for church leaders out there, which will be great, but I'm a little anxious about having an exacerbation of my condition and not coping....so prayers would be appreciated. I have plenty of support around here which is great.

teaandcakeplease · 08/10/2010 14:20

I'm here and lurking and reading. Feeling very low and can't shake it off, been feeling very negative. Thinking about seeing GP for possible depression as I've been feeling like this for months really. Friends seem to think I should just snap out of it Hmm The other thing is I feel constantly tired and exhausted and irritable Sad Not a good combo as a single mum with 2 young DCs

On the upside Noah is now 5lbs 8oz & his feeding tube has gone!!! He might might come home in the next few days - Noah & Donna are staying in a parents room at the hospital to see how they get on this weekend. So prayers he can finally come home would be fab!

teaandcakeplease · 08/10/2010 14:22

I seem to do my praying for people on this thread at bedtime when lying in bed. Praying for you lovely PA especially x

PositiveAttitude · 08/10/2010 14:32

thank you TaCP. Only a few more days to wait, and it MUST be good news that the consultant hasn't phoned. DH has agreed to take time off work and come with me so that I dont wimp out of telling him how painful it is and that I need something done asap, even if it is only benign.

Prayers for you and everyone else, too. Smile

CazandBelle · 08/10/2010 18:33

Name changed a little...

Sorry I've not been posting, but have been thinking and praying for you all.

Hermya321 · 09/10/2010 12:27

TACP You've had a rough few months haven't you, I'm sorry that you're feeling low at the moment. Praying for you at this time and asking that God will bring you through and give you peace.

Praying for you PA

Caz Nice to hear from you, I hope you're doing ok.

Praying for everyone else.

Still no sign of baby, still praying that he comes out sooner rather than later as I'm getting uncomfy now.

Prayers for Shieldbug as well for similar.

amberlight · 09/10/2010 12:46

Praying hard for everyone as I read through each of your messages

MaMoTTaT · 09/10/2010 14:49

just popping in briefly to post a link to \link{\this song}

I've just (as I do sometimes do) found a random Christian playlist on youtube to have on in the back ground as I do the church newsletter.

This was the first song, and I thought the words were just wonderful,and a reminder that no matter where we are, what we've been through, what we've done we can cry out to Jesus.

Hermya321 · 09/10/2010 15:24

Ok, I'm asking for some major prayer. I dunno if things are starting but I've been getting some major back ache that been coming and going and a tight bump. But who knows, I'm gonna go bounce on my ball. I'll let you know how I get on.

MaMoTTaT · 09/10/2010 15:34

oh - good luck Hermya - will pray that if this is it it will all go smoothly - and if it's not that the back ache will go away.

madhairday · 09/10/2010 15:44

Praying for you Hermya :)

DutchOma · 09/10/2010 17:16

Adding my prayers.

MaMo - what a beautiful song. The first verse especially sums it up for me. I can't find a link to music, but I've linked the lyrics to the hymn that means so much to me at the moment. The hymns I chose when I spoke about Belle in church 2 weeks ago.
www.grahamkendrick.co.uk/songs/lyrics/for_this_i.php

Hermy praying for a smooth and safe delivery :)

Tonight I've read Genesis 49:25 (Bible Reading Notes)- it talks about Gods blessings, and this verse in particular the blessings of the womb. Its comforted me just a little tonight, I feel spoken to and I hope God is telling me there will be more blessings of the womb to come as well as my beautiful Belle in heaven.

"By the God of your father who will help you, and the Almighty who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb."

Please continue to pray for DH. Thursday we were having a chat and he admitted he is jealous that I have the comfort and hope that Belle is in heaven. I pray so hard that God is speaking to him and challenging his hard atheist attitudes.

Hermya321 · 09/10/2010 23:57

Caz Praying for you and your DH.

Just a quick update, things seems to have tailed off for me for the moment. Just feel a little sick and restless at the moment, am going to try and get some sleep in a bit.
