MN Christian Prayer Request Thread: : Back to school soon

[DutchOma]

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....

Praying for that mum shineon, any more news? will check chat.

Amber praying for you and dh. so much going on. God is with you even when it feels far from it.

Hermya praying for your friend. How awful.

Caz praying for you and dh too.

Seems to be a lot going on at the moment that is so difficult. My friends daughter - the one with anorexia - has attempted suicide again and is being sectioned now :( Prayers appreciated.

I'm plodding on here, another week of dh being away. chest is playing up quite a bit last few days and struggling with pain and tightness so prayers appreciated for strength for this week. dd is going on a school trip for the week so things will be quiet around here with just me and ds.

Hope you can use the time to rest MHD

Prayers for you all as I scroll through.

Could I ask for you to just say a quick one yet again for me. I should be going away tomorrow, but getting a bit cold feetish about it. I am worried that if I get a phone call with bad news I will be miles from home and not with my DH. Also, I have been feeling very unwell for a few days and spent most of yesterday in bed, which is totally unheard of from me! On the other hand I really want to get away and concentrate my mind for a few days. Please pray that I make the right decision and also that I get answers soon from the latest biopsy.

Many thanks.

If I go, I will catch up on birth stories next week, I will be thinking of you.

Keeping many prayers going for everyone.

Here, dh is back home after his stay in hospital and his operation. The doc is fairly confident that he's found a way to avoid a second operation, which is good.
We're both tired beyond measure, but thankful for prayers.

Praying...

MHD prayers for your friend's daughter. How awful for everyone. As a former eating disorder-sufferer myself, I have huge sympathy, and pray that God will guide her through it.

Prayers for everyone else too, especially PA, amberlight and DH and for all the impending births.

I'm having a very busy time at the moment - all my DSs AND my DH have birthdays in October / early Nov. We've also been having work done on the house and I've been getting ridiculously stressed about not being able to keep up with my studies very well while all this has been going on. I am having to remind myself that I will do what I can do, and to let God deal with the rest!

I'm determined to enjoy today though - it is my youngest boy's 4th birthday :) and I'm feeling happy but rather emotional at the 'loss' of my 'baby'. We weren't sure whether or not having a 3rd child was the right thing to do, but he has brought us joy and laughter every day, so thank you Lord :)

I thought you might also appreciate a conversation he had with DH in church yesterday. It made us laugh!

DS3; Daddy, what are these books for?
DH: They are special books for singing in church. They have lots of hymns in.
DS3: Oh. Do they have lots of hers, too?

Gosh I can't believe I'm writing this, but can you pray for my MIL. She's been admitted to hospital with a suspected heart attack. They're still doing tests, I'm really praying that it isn't that and that it's just something relatively easy to treat. But you know what it's like, you can't help but think the worst at times like this.

I know God has her in his hands and that he is faithful and true even when we falter.

Can you pray for healing and that whatever happens he'll bring us through this.

Of course Hermya, what a worry for you.
How are you coping?

Oh hermya praying. ((hugs)).

Shieldbug you have a message

Praying Hermya. x

Oh dear. Praying too Hermya and for everyone else.

Praying Hermya, any news?

I go back to the Drs today. Hoping and praying there are some results there which reveal what is wrong with me...

Prayers Hermya - plese let us know how your MIL is this morning.

Mary prayers for you too.

Hi Guy,

Thank you for your prayers and support, we're still not sure whats actually happened (the test results have still not come back yet) but my MIL is still in hospital and by all accounts is doing well.

From what I gather, she rang my SIL after having some really bad chest pains and my SIL took her into hospital and they admitted her. I'm going to ring later on this morning (shes at the other end of the country to us) and hopefully I'll have some more news.

I was praying about it last night and I really felt like God's hands were all over this one. It happened at a time when she was at home and she was able to reach all the family for help. She's only in her early fifties so it wasn't really expected. I dread to think what could have happened if she was driving or she was away from home. But God is good and he protects us even when we don't realise we need it.

Well, that is positive at least hermya.

Went to Dr. All blood tests came back negative. I've been referred to a gastroenterology clinic in a month's time. Now have to go back to eating gluten and I'm scared and unhappy no resolution as yet.

Oh Mary Hoping they can find out what is wrong and treat it soon honey. xx

Please do keep us up-to-date with your MIL, Hermya - glad she is doing ok. Hospital is the best place for her; but early 50's is young for a heart attack, if indeed that is what has happened. What a shock for you all. xx Praying for your DF and family who have lost their niece / daughter. So sad. How are they doing? xx

Prayers for Agingmummyoftwins as she waits for news on her sister. So hard for them all.

Lovely to "see" you CazandBelle So sorry that your DF's partner's cancer has spread. I cannot even begin to imagine what they are having to go through right now Please update when you can. Prayers especially for your DH - has he seen a specialist yet? Doesn't sound good. to you all. xx

Chugging along in DippyLand - Stupid car in the garage again Praying, praying, praying it is something straight-forward that can be easily fixed & isn't too expensive. Supposed to be going away on Fri Apart from that, all is ok Off to older girls' parents "evening" soon ....

Still praying.

Had a bit of a tricky situation at pre school with a key worker there today and got very upset. Prayers that God will smooth it all over and that I can let go would be good.

Also I'm studying with OU and have a TMA due in this Friday and I'm struggling with motivation right now Prayers that I find the time to finish it and stay focused would be good.

GP has put me on Anti Depressants, I saw her about a week ago about how I felt. I know God can heal depression, when I got home I almost felt like throwing the pills in the bin but then thought I should carry on with them, as the circumstances that lead me to actually make a GP appointment about how I felt, almost felt like God had ordained the things that happened to make me look at myself and seek help. IYSWIM?

Perfectly TACP. never feel bad over taking medicine, especially not if they make you feel better

Please pray for Margaret, who came home after a long weekend away with her daughter to find an attempted break-in at her house. Nobody got in, but there was glass everywhere and a rock hurled with force through the glass panel in her front door; also a pane in her back door was broken. She was quite shocked and came to get me to go into the house together. She has been so brave since her dh died, she really does not need this.

Prayers for your MIL hermy - hope the news is positive when you next get an update.

Prayers for you TACP - Agreeing with Dutch about not feeling bad. God works through our doctors to help us.

Dutch praying for Margaret. What a frightening situation for her.

My friends DP started his chemo today and has been very poorly all day since with sickness. He shaved his hair last night too which my friend has found very distressing. Please continue to pray for them. My friend is very teary which is understandable, but with a week old baby the hormones and emotions are running high and it is so much to cope with all in one go.

Captain thanks - DH finally saw a neurologist in August, but actually had his first MRI late in the day Belle was born. I made him still go because he'd been waiting weeks for it and di. We'd sorta "forgotten" about all the problems because we've been so wrapped up in our grief, but since his 2nd MRI end of September and some indication of problem, now being sent for a lumber puncture its at the forefront again. I'm really frightened its MS, but I know its futile to worry like that, especially when the Doctors have made no mention of that themselves. I should've keep myself away google really.

Hope you had a positive parents evening :)

Poor Margaret

Such sad stuff and worries on this thread, still praying for everyone x

Right I've had a bit more of an update about MIL.

It's been confirmed that it wasn't a heart attack and that there has been no damage to the heart muscle. She's due to come out later today and she has to go back in a week or so as an out paitent to see the cardiologist.

God has been so so good, this could have been so much worse but praise him it hasn't. I am so grateful for all your prayers, just continue to pray that she continues to get better.

I did speak with my MIL and she said that she's glad that it's happened now whilst she's got a chance to do something about it (whatever it is) so there are a lot of positives in this situation.

It always goes to show that in every storm, there is a rope that you can cling to.

Oh and baby is still in there, but bump seems to have dropped. Still getting niggles and still praying furiously that he makes his way out (although considering the above I'm very glad that he hasn't come before now as the situation would have been that much more stressful). God is good!!

Hermya that's good news. Didn't want to say so before but it sounds a lot like what happened to my mum a couple of years ago. She was blue-lighted into A&E with severe pains in chest and left arm. It wasn't a heart attack and there was no damage to the heart at all - they still aren't really sure (following umpteen tests!) what the problem was - she hasn't had a repeat episode.

I think it was just extreme stress - it happened on the evening of Christmas Day when she'd spent the whole run up to Christmas trying to please everyone and running herself in circles. The body's way of saying 'enough!'.

Hopefully it's something similar with your MIL, though it's still a bit of a worry when it's a kind of undiagnosed 'nothing'. But she's right - it's a warning to look after herself a bit better, perhaps!

Prayers continuing for her, and for you too.

Good news about MIL Hermya COME ON BABY!!!!

Hoping they find the cause of your lovely DH's problems ASAP, C&B, honey. such a stress for you and for him. Lots of Prayers. xx

Poor poor Margaret DO How completely horrid. Just glad nothing was actually taken. xx

Parents Evening was lovely & my car is back & working without cost too much dosh God is good!!

Hugs to all my lovely friends here
