Do not feel
totally
personally
irrevocably
responsible for everything.
That's my job.
Love, God

I like that a lot Grin

Well, here's the round-up:

MadHairDay - Prayers needed for friend's DD who is anorexic and is still not eating. She is being tube fed, but she keeps pulling the tube out. Sad Prayers for the girl from MHD's children's school who was recently run over outside the school. She is through the worst, but has broken legs and pelvis - a swift healing process please, Lord. Prayers for a friend of MHD's whose DH has recently left her and for her DH Gran who recently had a Stroke. Lots of prayers for MHD's lovely DD who is suffering horribly from Psoriasis and has Dyspraxia and is experiencing bullying at school Sad Prayers for MHD struggles health-wise too!!

MrsC - Prayers for her sis who has just started a new job after being a SAHM for 5 yrs - how is she settling in, MrsC? Prayers also for a friend's mum who had a cancer DX, but died very suddenly and unexpectedly recently; and for the little family from MrsC's Toddler Group who recently lost their DH / daddy.

Caz - Finding the New Year so hard. DH should get some test results back soon - has he had them Caz? Caz's health has not been the best recently either and she has had a DX of Tonsillitis again. Boost her up, Lord. Prayers also for the family and friends of the 8 year old from Caz' class that died recently.

Amber- Prayers for the friends and family of E who died recently. Amber very bravely got through her recent op; but is now facing 6 months of Chemo followed by an Op for a DX of breast cancer. The cancer has been caught quite early and is treatable, but it is a fast-moving sort of Cancer and Amber is awaiting further tests to make sure the cancer hasn't spread. Hold Amber so so close at this time, Lord - and her family too as they come to terms with having to support their "rock". xx

CaptainCaveman - Prayers required for her DH in his hunt for a new job .....

JentlyDoesIt - Is coping with DP in prison, but struggling too - needing lots of prayers for resilience and strength, especially for her two little ones. Place lots of amazing, supportive people around her, Lord. xx

barleywood - Needs prayers in her hunt for a new church to go to; and to contribute to as well ....

TeaandCakePlease - Is struggling with juggling ..... she feels in despair with her OU degree and with the task of life in general. xx

NotQuiteGrownUp - Popped by to ask for prayers as she is struggling with juggling too!! xx

Mary - Has been quite down of late and needs lots of encouragement and prayer Smile Please pray for Mary's DD's friend who is currently not eating and being tube fed; for S who trained with Mary who is having tests following the discovery of a lump on her spine; and for Mary's DF who is facing brain surgery after a DX of Chiari Malformation - she has a DH and a young DS.

livvylouis - Popped by to ask for prayers for her FIL who had been admitted to hospital with a racing heart.

NotSoFarNow - Needs lots of prayers for relationships - particularly with one of her DDs. Two of her DDs have recently dropped out of college and NSFN is struggling to know how best to support them and get alongside them.

Hermya - Has been having problems with anxiety of late. Is fretful and worried.

BoxofDelights - Has been spending a lot of time recently sorting out her financial position. Her anxiety is still bad and life is still tough.

blackeyedsusan - Is in the process of a possible separation from her violent husband. She has 2 children of 2 and 4 yrs; and is struggling.

practicallyimperfect - Prayers for the family and friends of Ben, a 17 yr old from the school she works at who was found dead in a river a few days ago. It was an accidental death and he looks to have slipped and fallen in on his way home from a gig late at night. Sad

shineoncrazydiamond - Asked for prayers for a DF's DS, little Archie who sadly died after complications surrounding a traumatic delivery. Archie was a much wanted baby and it is a terrible, tragic loss for the couple Sad

gingercurl - Asked for prayers for her relationship with her DS who is rather a "mummy's boy" - he won't let her DH do anything for him at all and it is taking it's toll.

BlessedAssurance - Her close friend was stabbed to death in S.Africa while defending another friend Sad Prayers for all those who knew and love him. xx

shieldbug - Popped by to ask for prayers for a distant relation of hers (13 yr old boy) who was having a big operation today. The operation could possibly leave him with difficulties being able to eat or, at worst, brain damage. So hoping the op went as well as possible ....

CaptainDippy - It would be great if you could all pray for a dear friend of mine who has terminal breast cancer. Due to being a "guinea pig" for some pioneering drugs, she has been with us far longer than we ever could've hoped or expected (10 yrs!!!!); but the drugs are no longer working and she knows it is nearly time to say "goodbye". She has zoomed off to go and see family in Australia and will be embarking on a tour around the UK once she is back. She 's an incredible woman and I just pray she can do everything she wants to do before she gets too poorly and that the end will be so beautiful for her, because she deserves it.

GET PRAYING!!!!

Thanks so much CD. Great to see you too :)

Just to say dh's Gran passed away, it was very peaceful and the funeral went well. Girl from school who was run over is doing very well, but still has a long road ahead. Friend whose dh left is ok, she's turned a corner and feeling stronger :) Her dc are playing up though, unsurprisingly. :( Friends anorexic dd - still the same :(

Thankyou for the great round up, good to have it all at the top to pray through. Praying especially for your friend tonight

Hi ladies,

Am a long time lurker on this thread, and have decided finally to pluck up courage to join in if I may?

I'm 28 years old, from Norwich,and have been a Christian for most of my adult life. I have an 18 month old daughter E and temporarily seperated from my H is November last year (at my instigation due to issues with his behaviour). I was however prepared to try and work at our marriage, indeed wanted it to work.
However last week, my H decided (and told me over the telephone) that as far as he is concerned our marriage is over. As I placed my marriage into the hands of our amazing God when he first moved out I can only assume that He has it all in hand and has mine and E's best interests at heart. H is not a believer by the way.
So it is with great sadness that I have made an appointment with a solicitor for Monday coming to start divorce proceedings.
Please uphold us in prayer, and please pray that we can continue to communicate effectively in matters pertaining to E.

wow, sorry for the essay

blackeyedsusan · 10/02/2011 06:49

oasis. Sorry to hear that it has come to that. Have you found out whether his behaviour is the sort that caan get the divorce stared straight away or will you have to wait til you have been separated for a while?

amberlight · 10/02/2011 07:22

CD, thanks for the new thread! Smile

Praying for each situation as I read through, and for you, Oasis...

DutchOma · 10/02/2011 08:03

Praying for all, especially for Amber today and also for your friend Dippy.

madhairday · 10/02/2011 08:38

Welcome oasis :) Sorry to hear about your situation. Hope it goes ok with the solicitor and all goes smoothly. Praying for peace amidst the storm for you and your dd.

Amber, praying for you muchly.

BA., how are you feeling, must have been such a shock. :(

Saw dd's teacher yesterday and she is looking into it, including accessing a counselling service which I think will be good, dd needs confidence building in any way I think.

M44 · 10/02/2011 08:40

Thank you.

but can I add....

please pray for M44 who is quietly falling apart in the background, fighting for her son whose medical needs are not being met in his school.

amberlight · 10/02/2011 08:45

M44, prayers aplenty! Arrgh re medical needs situation.

gingercurl · 10/02/2011 10:23

Thanks CD. Bookmarking
Praying as I read through.
Hi Oasis. I haven't been on here for very long. I dropped in one day to ask for support and ended up staying as the ladies here are so lovely! Smile

amberlight · 10/02/2011 12:14

Wheee - consultant says it's not spread to the underarm lymph nodes - it's just in the one place, which makes it easier as I won't need as much surgery.
Praise God!
Not going to be an easy fight, but it could be much worse...

PositiveAttitude · 10/02/2011 12:56

Really good news Amber, but continuing prayers for God's peace over the coming treatments.

M44 - I have added you to my list, so continuing prayers for God to speak to you in your situation and surround you with His love.

Prayers for everyone else as I read through, too.

Life is good here at the moment, so Thank you God for giving me a bit of a break for a while! Wink

madhairday · 10/02/2011 13:19

That's great news Amber :)

M44 you are in my prayers. That is an awful situation. Have you talked with the chair of governors at all, because it is not something the school should be getting away with Angry

blackeyedsusan · 10/02/2011 14:42

M44 ds's allergy has not been forgotten.

Amber, that is good news.

ds has gone backwards in the terrible 2's after showing improvement. probably due to the sudden change in routine and absence of daddy. he was very confused by going to the supermarket where we meet Daddy for tea and there was no daddy. I have a fight every morning and evening to get him in and out of the carseat and pushchair made worse by having to do it in the garage becaause there is no-one to put the car away/ have the children in the flat whilst I put the car away. dd is clingier too and more accidents.

Been tidying up and hunting for paperwork. More has turned up, still can't find the details of Ds appointment for the orthoptrist.

CaptainDippy · 10/02/2011 20:36

So sorry M44 - your request was on the list I wrote out, I've no idea where it went, sorry - am praying xxx

Wonderful news Amber Smile xx

Shattered, so off to bed ....

Dippy- no worries-just really really blue today.

MaryBS · 10/02/2011 21:02

Hugs M44.

Just had news from my friend S, I think we prayed for her just before Christmas, she was licensed as a Reader last year - we trained together. Please pray for her - she has a very rare bone cancer, which is usually aggressive and involves a complicated and difficult operation as well as chemo.

God, will you PLEASE stop giving my friends cancer and other dangerous conditions? PLEASE? And while you're at it, now you've done it, how about some healing for them?

DutchOma · 10/02/2011 21:32

Amen to that Mary.

amberlight · 11/02/2011 07:26

Praying like mad

LibraPoppyGirl · 11/02/2011 12:11

First time visitor here. I have one DS 13yo and great DP and am 23weeks pg with second baby.

I am praying for all as I read through. Could I ask for prayers for my DP as he has depression at the moment and is finding it a bit hard to cope. He has a busy physical job doing 12 hour shifts, 6 days on and 3 days off. He is a wonderful man and a great Step Dad to DS. We're expecting our first child together and I believe that everything is overwhelming him a bit.

God I'm praying to you, to ask you, to please lighten DP's heart a little and give him just a little more strength to deal with his emotions at the moment. You know he is a good man and I know we all have things that you give us to test us sometimes. He's is trying very hard and using the avenues you are opening up to him but could just do with a little more help from you, to nourish his soul in his time of need.

Lord I pray that you would hold each and every one of your children on this board as they face up to the challenges that you have laid before them. Give them strength and love in their hearts and please let them know that you are with them. I pray to you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord Amen

AuntieDoris · 11/02/2011 14:05

Prayers would be appreciated. We are trying to conceive and nothing has happened so far. I am becoming increasingly despondent about it all. :(
