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....

hello everyone thank you for your prayers for our church family.

Found out today what she died from - an embolism - caused by the contraception she was using .

Her funeral is on the 14th of this month, I think it's going to be a packed church, but a very difficult one for everyone.

Oh phew...ds's consultant says that the GP's worries are unfounded. Just the eye operation to go...and getting his blood pressure sorted out...
Thank you to all who prayed

Hi all,

Would you mind if I directed you to a thread and ask you to pray

Not feeling good at the moment and not wanting to communicate, so apologies in advance!!

Thank you.

My little nephew isn't doing as well today, although he's breathing unassisted it's a lot more irregular than it has been. He's also not been digesting food well and the stuff that's come up from his stomach suggests his digestion is really dodgy so they have had to put another line in to give him glucose and stuff and have ceased feeding by mouth. Both Rich and Donna felt peaceful yesterday but it's very distressing having seen him open his eyes last night and seem so well and then today to see him back under the special lamp and with another line going in. Please pray for God's divine healing and care for him

Just read thread. Praying. Glad the consultant was thorough.

Positive,will pray right now

TACP,having become a mum myself,i can only imagine what they must be going through,He is a God of miracles and a Healer,may your nephew be healed in the mighty name of Jesus.

keep us posted..

Oh PA read your thread and praying

Keeping up the prayers for everyone

Hello there,

Very quick post due to very sore tired eyes. Praise for a wonderful day yesterday for Step MIL's birthday and prayers for a day today which has not been so good :( for me and DP, a nasty argument which ended in tears.

hello to blessed, DP makes a fab banana bread from a recipe he found on a bottle of banana beer :) He is making one for my birthday next weekend...

Think I may take myself off to bed, nice dark room for my poor old eyes. Much love and prayers for you all xx

Nephew was doing better today, although slightly jaundiced still. Seems to be digesting his food a lot better. Donna got to hold him today for an hour.

They have chosen a name: Noah. Love it! :-)

Please keep praying for good digestion, health and strength so he can go home to mummy and daddy.

Thank you for all your prayers Richard and Donna have really appreciated it.

Hello all,

Just read through and praying for you all especially PA.

PA On your lumpy lump, the fact of the matter is that the hospital is doing everything they can to investigate it. I know it's not that great to not be in the know. But they have started investigating it so rest assured if there is anything they will find it. But as with all things, I pray that God keeps you safe and sound in his arms.

TACP Praying for little Noah.

As for me, just praying for finances at the moment and God's wisdom on our spending. Baby boy has got himself head down and keeps popping in and out of my pelvis (at least I assume he is by the changing shape of my bump) and I'm getting the whole end of pregnancy aches and pains. I hope LO doesn't drag it out, but by the fact that he seems to be getting himself ready for launch I'm thinking he won't.

Noah was due on 28th October what is your little mans due date?

Tea Mine is due on the 25th October, . I do have a hospital bag in the boot of the car just in case.

More than my SIL had, she hadn't even done an ante natal class or hospital tour or written a birth plan. So she was in a real panic when she got to the birthing centre in labour.

You'll be fine, this isn't your first though is it? So you're a veteran at this

Tea No it's my first, I'm just very bizarely organized. I don't know quite how I manage this as I'm a bit of a ditz when it comes to most things. I managed to have a sneaky look round my birthing centre about a week back, it's like a hotel and I wrote my birth plan after I saw my doula for the first time.

Still here, still praying... struggling in some ways, but praising God in others :).

"What is before us, we know not, whether we shall live or die; but this we know, that all things are ordered and sure. Everything is ordered with unerring wisdom & unbounded love, by thee, our God, who art love. Grant in all things to see thy hand; through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Charles Simeon, 1759 - 1836.

AMEN

Toilet Prayer for today!!

Lovely to "meet" you TooBlessed always nice to have new people join our merry throng

So pleased about your DS amber, hoping op goes smoothly

Bouncing in (literally!!) very quickly.

This morning, within the space of 20 minutes, I had not one but TWO phone calls both offering me jobs!!!! (to start in 2012 when I have finished my studies).

To say I am happy is an understatement! You have no idea how much pressure this lifts!

Praise God I feel very, very blessed!

Can I just say how pleased I am to have found this thread and what a wonderful idea. I'm realising again the power of prayer.

Do you mind if I introduce myself? I'll try keeping in short...

I'm Caz, I'm 25 and married to a wonderful man, but not a Christian. I am a Christian - Although becamse disillusioned at around the age of 18, and by age 20 had completely given up on God, faith and church. But I knew deep down God had never given up on me, the "still small voice" was always always there, I just chose to try and drown it out.

Recently events in my life has made the still small voice shout louder than ever.

On the 21st June, our first beautiful baby, Anabelle (Belle), was born sleeping. We had been told 5 days before she'd died and it took all that time to induce me. I was 32 weeks.

Devasted was and is an understatement, our whole lives are shattered into little pieces. I've spent weeks really angry at God but despite my anger I knew in my heart my darling little girl was in his arms and is safe in heaven.

It hurts so so much, I don't understand Gods reasons. Maybe I never will - no medical reason was found for her death.

And still the voice kept shouting, my anger has subsided - and the last month or so I have felt finding myself a church to attend is what I need to do, much to the delight of my parents. I've found a baptist church I feel really comfortable in, and have gone for the last two Sundays. Everyone there has been very welcoming and kind. And now I've found this thread. God is really finding me my support network and showing me once again, after all these years he hasn't forgotten about me and I can lean on him. For the first time in a long time, I want and more to the point, need, God to be part of my life.

Two things keep coming back to me time and time again: Phillipians 4v13 and the Hymn "For This I Have Jesus"

Please pray for my husband, who hasn't got the reassurance and peace that I have that Belle is safe with Jesus, I know I'll see her again one day.

My husband, although not a believer himself, has never been hidden from my families Christian values, and is supportive of me returning to church. He has even said that he'll 'occasionally' come with me - which is huge, before Belle died he would've just told me absolutely no way. Maybe he has a still small voice too... I pray that God speaks to him.

Thank you all, for allowing me to spill my heart here.

Oh, Caz, I am so very, very sorry for your grief.

Please do come on here to 'spill your heart' whenever you need to.

I will pray that God continues to speak to you and comfort you. He hasn't forgotten you and is with you always, even when things seem unspeakably dark and desolate.

Oh Caz, I am so terribly sorry for you and your husband and can't even begin to comprehend the pain and anger you must be feeling right now. I am praying that you will eventually find some kind of peace in your heart, even there seems to be no reason for this terrible tragedy.
