Cover us all with a "Duvet of Prayer" .....

I've been so busy with Harry I haven't been on for a while, so sorry for not being there when lots of tough things were happening.

DO glad to hear Bob is out of the ICU. Praying for his recovery and for the family.

Amber you are amazing- you are going through so much at the moment, yet you keep on praying for others on here. Truly, I find you an inspiration to persevere in prayer. Glad to hear there has been some improvements for you and praying that you are given peace.

PA YANBU! If you have just had an operation, I do not think that you will be up to discussing DD2 in a useful way in any case. You will be tired and sore and probably not able to focus on the issues. Putting the minister off is not being selfish and the very fact that you are thinking about seeing him shows the love you have for your DD. It may only be a couple of days more before you are able to see him and then you can give the matter your full attention. Look after yourself and protect your recovery time, otherwise you may be out of action longer. Don't feel guilty, IMO you are doing the right thing. Lots of prayers for your op going well and for your recovery afterwards.

Thanks to all who prayed for Harry's feeding. I know it seems quite minor compared with what has been going on with others, but I am pleased to say that he is feeding from me pretty well now (which to be honest I don't think the midwives ever expected to happen) and I am so grateful for prayers.

You are not being unreasable to want to put your minister off coming, but you are being unreasonable in thinking that it is you who has to sort out dd2's problems for her. She should do this for herself, she is 18 and should be able to cope and relieve you of the stress.
You need to concentrate on enjoying what you can of dd1 coming home for the weekend and whatever else you can.
This minister of yours needs to be taught a few manners and it should not be you who is teaching him.

I'm with Dutch on this one PA

Thank you all, and sorry to hijack the thread when there is so much going on in everyone's lives.
I am thinking a lot clearer now about this and will sort it.

Up praying because I can't sleep, so praying as I read through everyone's posts.

just a quick one as should be getting to school - PA - YANBU!!! You are right to say no in this circumstance and actually by doing that it is not 'putting dd second' because by looking after yourself you are looking after your family too iyswim? I hope your minister will see this. It is hard sometimes for people who don't know a lot about what illness is like to get in there and emphasise, though some do it a lot better than others!
Take care of yourself. have been praying for you. x

Hi there I'm trying to do this on my phone for the first time as dd2 us off waiting fir a dentists appt and watching tv in my laptop!?!

I an organising a collection to bless DO. Something that she will love - books/wool or something else we agree on.

If you want to be part if it, please PM me!

I'm a bit 'up and down', to use a strange expression...still getting waves of absolute panic and dread. Not as bad as at the weekend, so that's good. Seeing social worker today so she may have ideas.
Keeping prayers going for all.

Praying for everyone as I read through.

Since my sister resigned, her employer is showing their true colours and threatening with illegal action. Please pray that she can continue dealing with what they throw at her in a professional and detatched manner without being personally offended by their stupidity.

I've had a rough few days and feel as if I'm failing in most areas of my life at the moment. Feel very inadequate and that I "must do better" but seem incapable of doing anything about it.

There is so much happening on here at the moment - prayers for everyone.

PA - I'm praying that everything goes smoothly on Saturday and that you make a speedy recovery. I don't think YABU at all. Would it be possible for DD to visit the minister, rather than for him to visit your house?

Amber - I read your last post - praying for you.

Dutch Oma - praying that you'll have strength at this time.

PA UDNBU,,you did not hijack the thread,this is what the thread is for,so we can pray with each other and help,,the minister can wait,,

gingercurlyou are not failing,things are just going in a different direction ,that is all,look at the positive things in your life,i am sure there are plenty and you will see that you are doing a great job,give it time and before you know it things will fall into place and you won't feel this pressure to 'do better'

amber prayers for you and DO

praise God for small mercies shieldbug*,wonderful that Harry is back to feeding...

and prayers for everyone ...

Praying through each of the messages again. Hoping for peace for each of us.

gingercurl, when things get tough, I just try to remind myself that "a broken and contrite heart, God will not despise". Sorry to hear what your sister is going through, praying for strength...

PA, it may be this is the way of the minister showing he is caring. However he needs to be caring of you too... if you are not up to it after the Op, put it off till you are feeling better, otherwise you are doing no-one any favours! Praying for Saturday.

Keeping praying. I was struggling to sleep in the night and was thinking of you girls. This verse came to mind 'the eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms' (Deuteronomy somewhere!) - just thinking about all the situations, all the difficult things we're all facing, and praying that you will all experience the peace of the everlasting arms being underneath you, holiding you and not letting you fall.

Can you pray for me - cold starting, whiuch is never good news for me - haven't had my flu jab yet this year so really need for this not to go bad.

Will read and post later (and will email asap, I PROMISE) xxx

Please please pray for my lovely Father Outlaw - he had a Hernia Op yesterday - was elective day surgery; so nothing major; but the poor thing is unable to wee at the moment and is rather distressed. He has been catheterised and sent home; but obviously this is not ideal. Prayers that all sort ASAP. thank you. xxxx

Hello, I was wondering if I could join you? I am coming out from lurking, I could do with a wee prayer.

I have just found out I am pregnant with my second child and we were told we probably wouldnt be able to have children naturally.
We are beyond blessed to have our darling DS, and fall pregnant again I wish I could be excited but I am so scared something will go wrong.
I feel terrible even writing this as so many others have much worse problems and I should be estastic.
Its so early and I dont really have many symptoms though I think worry is making feel sick :(

Many thanks

Hi Pipplin, welcome from me, lots of prayers assured for you.
Keeping prayers going for everyone else too.

Welcome pipplin. Prayers for you. Don't beat yourself up just because others have different problems - your feelings are real and scary for you. Take some time for yourself to get used to the idea and to settle into it. Remember God is in it all with you, the good and the bad.

take care.

Praying for you all as I read through.

Can I just ask for continued prayer for healing, nursing is still a little painful and I'm praying in faith for a pain free recovery. I have been to the Docs and have just finished my antibiotics and am just praying that any and all infection is now gone.

Psalm 91v14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

I've had that knocking around my head the past few days as I've been praying and I felt I should share with you all.

Hi, I've been lurking ever since I stalked Positive over here , and I've been praying for you all. Some fairly terrible stuff is going on in my extended family at the moment and we are clinging on to see rescue, so Hermya thanks for sharing that verse. I will hold it firmly. I will tell you a bit more about myself another time, but supposed to be going out half an hour ago!

Welcome Piplin and welcome back Katsch. I hope that you can soon share a few of your burdens with us.

Bob has now been moved back to Becket Ward, terrible mix up over the beds, should have been a straight swap between patients on Becket and HDU, but the Becket patient has so much luggage (about ten carrier bags of stuff which she could not take to HDU) that it all took forever. Then the room had to be cleaned (smelling reassuringly of bleach) and then Bob could get in.
But he was breathing very fast (53 breaths per minute) so they were going to get a doctor to look at him. Unfortunately he had not been by the time I rang so I don't quite know what's going to happen.
Thank you all for yoru prayers.

Praying

Continued prayers for everyone - DO I do hope Bob has improved this morning.

Hello to Pipplin and Katsch too. :)

I'd be grateful for some prayers for myself and DS1 (who has just turned 8). He's being a bit 'challenging' at the moment and I feel that we are moving suddenly into the next stage of boyhood! Naturally, as his mother, I cannot help but feel that his sudden rudeness and aggression at home are somehow my fault though others tell me that it is a normal part of growing up! I really need strength and guidance to help me gently (and lovingly!) steer him in the right direction. I feel like all I do is nag the poor boy at the moment, which just makes things worse!

The verse that has been stuck in my mind for the last week or so is:

"So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles that each day brings". (Matt. 6:34)

In other words - deal with today! Worry about tomorrow when you get to it. God knows what we need and He will provide. I'm finding this tremendously helpful at the moment!

pipplin welcome,prayers your way,,remember children are a gift from God,and believe that God has you imprinted on the palm of His hand,read it this morning at 5am when i couldn't sleep,so He is in charge,,fear not for He is with you always,,you will be fine,,congratulations on your pregnancy,,

prayers all round..
