Has Shieldbug had her baby!!!!??? Judging from her absence, I hope so!!!! Come back soon and tell us!!

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

I'm sorry Teaandcake - I didn't realise MIL was putting so much pressure on you re Christmas. I think the arrangents you and H have put in place sound great and that the MIL's suggestion is ghastly. There is no way I'd agree to 7 days with them + H + OW. I just thought that Centre Parcs may be a compromise solution for some time in the future but agree it'd only be suitable if MIL didn't put pressure on you all the time.

Flying by to say 'Yay!' to DO

God is good!

Love & Prayers to all.

You know that I am here. xx

Any more on your friend MHD? Prayers. xx

DO Go Bob Go!! xx

TACP. Your MIL is an unreasonable and insensitive woman. Stand your ground. You are so in the right. xxxxxxxxxx Prayers for the situ xxxxxxxxx

Hi all

I've been looking in on this thread a bit and I feel bad about posting really because I'm not as prayerful as should be and I havenm't been here for a long time but I need some help.

It has been a very hard year. I lost a good friend in February, this time last year she was getting really ill and we knew what was coming. There is a floor of the hospital I don't like going up to because I went there to visit her. I spent last Christmas Eve visting her and now she's gone and it isn't fair.
My cousin's wife died in the summer leaving two young children. Two friends have lost babies in utero in the last 12 months. My work is hard - public sector - and as the final nightmare my sister's partner has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. It's moving fast. They want to get married in ten days time and I should be praying about that but I'm finding it really hard to pray at all. Like I have very little to say. I know He is listening and I want to ask Him - but nothing much comes out. A lot of tears. I never knew what it was like to not be able to pray about things. Sometimes things happen - there's a word, a moment when I feel strong and like me. But a lot of the time I just feel very sad. So can somebody pray for me because I need it right now.

Thanks

I will try to pray for you all but tbh I'm a bit useless atm.

NL and Hermya just to say praying for you right now

no more words, just prayers.

Hi Northernlurker, just want to say that God KNOWS. He knows that you want to pray but can't. It's OK. You are not a machine. You feel. That is enough. Praying for your sister, her dp and you.

Halleluyah, DO! That's great news!

Praying for you all.

NL and Hermya you are where I was over the past ten days. I have got out the other end. What helped?

1. People turning up unexpectedly and listening to what I really needed. Both in real life and on here. Angels unaware.
2. A book by Jim Borst, Coming to God in the silence, which suggested sitting quietly and consciously letting go of all your own thoughts and handing them over to God.
3. Abandoning all other prayer for myself or dh, since God already knew what I needed and had things in hand.
4. Praising God when I couldn't pray. Realising that praise is an act of the will.

5.After all that doing something I liked doing and taking things as they come.

God is good and I have seen it.

DO , PRAISE GOD [SMILE]

NL we can pray without words. Crying before God is bringing your needs and feelings to him in a very honest way. Paul says somewhere about expressing prayers through groans, so you're in good company. Praying for you and your family.

DO so pleased things are improving.

Another one who has been through it a bit. I couldn't even pray or praise God, because I felt so numb and did not believe in Him anymore. Was prepared to walk away from everything faith related AND NOT CARE. But with the prayers and support of online friends, and with a chance encounter with a stranger at a healing service, I sobbed my way through a healing service and "let it all out" BIG STYLE. Just let us pray for you, and hold you up in the sight of God.

Could I please ask you all for some urgent prayers.

A friend of mine's DS has been knocked over on the way to school this morning. Only found out as I dashed into church to get some stuff and there was my BF and a couple of other mum's praying. She's pregnant (due in Jan I think), and I'm sure would really appreciate some prayers.

Apparently they've said he's going to be ok, but as yet we don't know what/how severe his injuries are.

She is a fabulous woman (those on you on my FB will have seen her posting regularly on my status updates) and a (very occasional post on MN).

I thought that too Shieldbug

Romans 8
26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. (The Message)

Praying praying praying

Praying on. NL you are in my heart today- I've been where you are and you need do nothing more than you are doing. Sometimes it's too painful to articulate the thoughts for prayer, but God knows and he's got us, and we can do it for you too. DO - glad Bob is improving. Hermya - praying - how are things this morning. Barogque - praying for the child and his family.
I want to share that the situation I mentioned in my extended family - sorry I can't give details - which has resembled a waking nightmare has had a fantastic change this morning. We are praising God for his intervention. Thank you for your prayers.

You know we are seeing so much answered prayer here. Praise God. Keep on going everyone, keep praying. Mary I can't tell you how thrilled I am to read your post and hear about the healing service. Fabulous. :)

Baroque. praying for your friend this morning.

NL you've been on my mind over this night and this morning. praying for you. I have also been there. You will see the other end.

Hermya how are you today? I had a v traumatic birth and hard time after with dd and remember thinking where is God in all this, why is it so hard? It really helped to tlak about the birth and get it all out, have you been able to do this at all? Almost to go through it outside of the situation and pray through it, if you see what I mean? A birth like that can affect you hugely and have knock on effects for a long time so it's really good to deal with it now if you are able to. Praying for you love. x

Will rinbg my friend later with the dv problem and update. There is so much going on here with all my 'seekers coffee course' laides, attack also but great things, they are all wanting to carry on into a second more in depth course, so exciting. :)

What a year!!!!! Goodness me, no wonder you are feeling so lost. Like someone said - you are a human, not a machine honey. God is holding you. He is close. You are in all our our prayers. xxxxx

Baroque - Please let us know how your friend's DS is when you know. Prayer for him and for his mummy and mini bro/sis too. xxxx (and daddy)? xxxx

Thank CD - yes there's a younger brother and sister, and daddy (and bump).

Probably won't hear until later how he is.

Gosh, big family!! Thanks for the reply - love your user-name by-the-way! xx

hello new to the thread...

i would like to add prayers for my brother, he is currently in hospital ( thanks be to god) after a bomb blast ( hes in the forces) and give thanx that he is all intact and just has lots of wounds and a few broken bones, he is in good spirits. i would like to paray for the wounds, both physical and mental to heal quickly and enable him to be out of hospital by christmas so we can all be together. i would also like to pray for the rest of the armed forces currently serving in Afganistan and in other parts of the world, and hope that they are returned safely to their loved ones.

i would also like to pray for a pregnant friend who is having a very dificult pregnancy and whos baby may heve to be delivered at 30 weeks. may all be well.

and again for friends trying to conceive.

and finally for my family, especially my mum as she needs god at the moment...i just dont think that sometimes she answers the door when he knocks.

lots to pray for on here!! I am praying as I scroll through. Energy levels are really low here, so not a long post, but please be assured of my prayers.

Well, as you can see i am home. I am totally exhausted. The tumour was far trickier to remove than anticipated, which meant twice as long in theatre as expected. Then once back on the ward I had an anaphylactic reaction to some drugs, which was scary and had me ended up on HDU. I honestly thought that life had ended at one point, but God has not finished with me yet here, so I am back. Praise God!!

The way I feel it is going to take ages for me to feel back to "normal". I have no energy! A shower this morning has done me for the rest of the day. Please pray for energy. Pathology results in 2 weeks, so then I will know if this is the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning!

Many thanks. Welcome to all the new "faces" around here and be assured of my prayers for ALL your situations.

Hopefully will be back and more useful soon.

positive...praying

and prayers for everybody

do wonderful news,praise be to God.

hermya,i feel for you,also had a traumatic birth,PND afterwards,but God was there,i could not even opne my mouth to pray,but i remember saying all the time,,Jesus Jesus,,i don't know exactly when i got my healing,one day i just woke up to find that the sun was shining,,NOT,,we were in winter,,you know what i mean,God healed me without me even asking Him to,because He knows us NL*,He has us insrcipted on the palm of His hands,,am praying for you

baroque praying for your friend,
itshappen praying for your friend as well

Prayer needed for my little girl who has a cold that is really bad,she is 7months and for the first time feel that i can't help her,and that makes me sad,however i have faith that God is watching her,and the angels are wrapping her warmly in their wings,because she slept well,she is eating well and still smiling through the pain.

oh my word,i don't know how i managed to highlight all that,sorry ladies..

Good news ladies - heard from my friend - her DS has bruising to his back and legs but thankfully nothing more

keeping prayers going from very wet and windy holiday today. Here, still struggling to make sense of things and failing.

Amber, if its senseless (and it was, what happened to you), its impossible to make sense of it. At times like this you have to do what the disciples did when they were rejected, and "shake the dust" from your feet. They're the ones who are losers, not you.

Thank you all so much. It's really helped.

Baroque - Thank you God for that little lad's safety
