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....

I still feel very tired but my head is only groggy today and a dull ache. Things worked out ok for today in the end. It was a little awkward but all was ok. I have updated my other thread

Thank you for your prayers as they are why today went well. Praise God.

DH still asleep because he went to bed at Stupid O'Clock again He really is very selfish

Sigh.

Sorry about that.

about your Alton Towers trip, MHD However, it can hardly be helped and I sincerely hope you get to go again soon. xx Hop you are all better soon too. xx

Cast all your burden onto Him. He cares for you

That goes for all of us today - especially you - TACP xx

Tempted just to get the girls dressed and just go out and leave Mr. Lazy Selfish Pants

Grump.

Oooops, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ!!!!!* Hope you have a great day!!

Why don't you Dippy.

Thanks Dippy.

I agree with Oma, fresh air and fun with your little ones sounds ace. You'll feel a whole lot better by the time you get back. I'd just stew on it all and then end up having a tiff when they did wake if I stayed in.

I've had a really low couple of days. Its like I'm drowning in self-pity and can't resurface. All I see everywhere is healthy newborns, but mine had to die. Its not fair. I never got the chance to have a newborn or be a Mummy. I really do hate this self-piting but I can't seem to stop it. God I know I have so much else to be thankful for but despite everything else all I want is Belle.

Prayers for DH and my friends who are finding the waiting for their results difficult right now.

((((Caz)))), goodness me, I don't think you need to beat yourself up about 'self pitying', you are mourning so deeply for your beautiful Belle. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like and there are certainly no words I can use to help, so I can only say I will pray for you. It is so difficult to understand, and there are not easy pat answers. Just sending love and prayers. will also pray for your dh and friends now.

How's it going CD - sorry dh is being a pain.

TACP - prayers for you in plenty.

Sooz - happy birthday!

dd no better today, being sick still and headache and temp. Poor love. She is already a skinny little thing and so when she's ill you can really tell. :( So me and her at home while dh and ds at church, dh preaching this am so was feeling pretty stressed with it all. I'm not well so things feel pretty hard going here.

Hello all, prayers for all and a Happy Birthday to my fellow Sept 12'er the lovely Sooooooz!

Lots of prayers and love xx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have every right to be self-pitying and low, Caz my love. You lost your beautiful baby girl and it isn't bloody fair!! You should not feel bad about the way you are feeling right now. It has only been a few short months and it will take you a lot longer than that to grieve and to mourn your sad sad loss. Cry. Scream. Rage. Vent. Get it all out. It is best in the long run. In all of this remember that He cares for you. xxxxx

Quick update - DS loved his swimming on Friday - thank you

Caz - exactly what the others said. You are right to have all these feelings. My love and prayers for you and your DH.

Prayers for everyone else too. MHD I hope your DD is feeling better.

TACP keep strong.

And belated Happy birthday to Jen and Sooz :)

hello all
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN AND SOOOZI

a prayer, or 2 , for me please. today i have to have a tooth extracted,and wednesday ds starts school. it's been an amazing 4 years with him, i've had the tooth rather longer of course.
right now i'm not sure which i'm more worked up about..

Prayers for everyone continuing...

Happy Birthday Jen and Sooz.

Feeling a little jaded, DS is ill, and I had a hectic weekend - full of some incredible highs and very difficult lows (it was a Reader conference). Highs because the spirituality and worship was superb. Lows because something happened to freak me out (sound system went bang, and not only that I was the only one who could hear something was wrong, for the previous 1/2 hour before it went bang, which hurt my ears) and together with all the emotional baggage I was carrying, it left me incredibly tearful and trembly for the rest of the day.

Praying for you, Mary, sounds like it was hard going for you, but so glad you got a lot out of the worship - that's fantastic. :) Hold on to that. Hope ds is better soon.

dd bit better. back to school tomorrow. Her actual birthday is thursday so she'll be all better for that hopefully.

prayers continuing. Can I ask for a major one please. On thursday I am starting a coffee morning course for some school mums. It's not alpha but in that vein, more relaxed and chilled (it's Start - by CPAS - anyone done it?) I'm getting incredibly nervous now. They're all up for it, but I don't want to be all full on or anything - they've all become really good friends in the last couple of years since we moved here and I just want to share this incredible thing we have with them...so please, please pray :)

MHD - many prayers for you! We did a similar thing (coffee, bible study, creche) three years ago. We started with the Emmaus course.... and the group is still going strong and still meets weekly!

It's become a source of great support for all the mums (myself included) and is the perfect mid-week 'pause' (we meet on Wednesdays).

I will pray that your group is similarly successful :)

It's 40 years ago that dh and I met on the dover-Ostende ferry. Thanks be to God.

Prayers for all.

I'm going into work in half hour for the first time since I lost Belle. I've a meeting with the head (I'm a teacher), to discuss my return after the next half term holidays. I'm very nervous - not so much of the meeting, but more of the building and all the people.

Please pray that this meeting and time in school goes well.

mhd - prayers for your group.

Dutch - congrats on 40 years together!

amber - thinking and praying for your DS and DH. How are they doing after last week?

Praying it goes well CazEM, may God go with you and may you feel the strength that is on offer for you. I don't expect it'll be easy for you, but we're here for you when you come out.

Praying MHD for the success of your group - it looks really interesting! My vicar has some ideas along those lines as well, so I'd be interested in hearing how it goes, and what worked - the material looks promising!

MrsC - that is so encouraging to hear. It is a six week course but I am kind of hoping the group will want to carry on in some form, even if for coffee mornings only! None of the girls are Christians but all expressing interest to one degree or another. really quite excited!

DO - awww, happy meeting anniversary! :)

Caz, praying for you very much as you go back into work. I pray you will know God powerfully with you, beside you, all around you.

Thanks Mary - will let you know how it goes. How are you and yours today?

Prayers for you caz for your meeting today.

Could I pop back in for some urgent prayers?
Life is throwing a lot at me at the moment. DH is working away. Today, so far, I have received a destressed phone call from DD1 saying that she has lost her job. She lives and works away from home. She was not happy working there, but had wanted to get another job before she left. Please pray for her self esteem to not be crushed by this and for a new, better job.

Half an hour later DD3 phoned me up in tears. She is on her first proper week at college, but physically is finding it all just too much after not being at school for 2 years. Her CFS/ME is really kicking back at her and her downturn has been surprisingly sudden and drastic. I dont think she will cope well with having another time out of any structured education and leaving her even further behind her peers.

Amongst all this my growth is definitely growing and pressing on nerves and causing me pain and numbness. I am feeling very unwell a lot of the time now. MRI scan is on Friday. I am at peace that this is in GOd's hands, but quick answers as to whether this is cancerous or not would be great.

Please pray that I can be a witness through all this and can rely on God.

Praying for you PA. Praying very hard.

Thank you DO. DD1 seems more calmed now and we have discussed what she can do now about getting a short-term job as soon as possible to keep her solvent.
DD3 has had a kip for a few hours and is smiling again.

I am just about holding myself together.

Glad to hear that PA. Still praying for that lump to be gone. Not even a molehill to God and He says we can ask for mountains to be moved.

Praying PA. MHD, I might email you, you might have some bright ideas...

I meant to post this earlier. Andrew Gosden has been missing 3 years today. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Their not knowing what has happened to him is almost more than they can bear...

Thank you for your prayers. It was scary but I did it - and I was fine. God was definately with me today...

Head has a agreed to a phased return and everything else I want before my return. She is going to refer me to occupational health and will go on whatever recommendations they make and I want. So basically it can go as fast or slow as I need it too. She was really supportive.

I went down to see my kiddies for a while and saw quite a few staff and it was ok.

Going to go in once a week for a few hours between now and half term - joining in different sessions and facing a whole school assembly before I start back too.

I'm getting there. Thanks to God.

PA - praying for you and both your girls.
