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!!!!

Smile

Praying for all. Thanks for prayers - little better today and have managed to do my seekers group which went well. so exciting! :)

BlessedAssurance · 17/02/2011 16:20

oh my, i just this thread now, have been wondering where everybody was,

great new tacp

praying for oasis

praying dippy and mhd and praying for the rest as i read through..

blackeyedsusan · 17/02/2011 21:15

Come home grumpy. I always feel like I want to kick the door in after seeing h, and I have got a face like I have been sucking lemons. (Melted welly as someone put it earlier on another thread)

H is coming to the flat tomorrow to collect some stuff. that also makes me feel grumpy. I considered having him back earlier, but if (when) it happens again he could do some permanent damage. I think I got off lightly last time considering what could have happened.

MaryBS · 17/02/2011 22:22

Praying BES, CD, oasis, Amber, and MHD.

Please keep me in your prayers. Things a little tough at church still. All I can do is trust in God for this to have a good outcome.

madhairday · 17/02/2011 23:11

Praying, mary and BES x

DillyDaydreaming · 18/02/2011 06:59

Marking my place here until I can read through the thread later and add people to my prayers. Hello all.

M44 · 18/02/2011 08:33

Please pray for a lady called Nicky who I met on the bus yesterday-in a dreadful state and felt powerless to help her. Did what I could at that moment-just pray she finds her dog, manages to contact the vet and puts some credit on her phone and that she sought help.Worried about her all day-will never know what happened to her.

Not meeting school nurse until after half term. Other things going on- Wednesday started off wonderfully but deteriorated rapidly....feeling the after effects of that today so am about to take the children to school then should I go back to bed or have the morning shopping on my own!!

MaryBS · 18/02/2011 08:35

Praying M44, and welcome dilly - saw your post on the other thread, and would love to hear your story! :)

MaryBS · 18/02/2011 11:26

Well, just back from the hospital, news is that there is ligament damage and so they are going to have a look-see what they can do, via keyhole surgery. And FINALLY am going to get physio!

TotallyUnheardOf · 18/02/2011 11:48

Hooray, Mary. Well, not hooray that you have ligament damage, obviously, but hooray that they may be able to do something about it and that you will get physio. (Think it may be what dh had - he ripped his anterior cruciate ligament and had keyhole for that, though they didn't actually fix it; they just tidied it up so that it was less excruciatingly painful!) I am praying that you will soon be feeling a lot better. Also prayers that the situation at your church will improve soon, so that you feel better in body and spirit.

Susan - prayers that you have the strength to do the right thing (whatever that is... but it sounds as if you know what it is deep down). Look after yourself.

TACP - good to see you back.

MHD - glad you are feeling a bit better.

M44 - prayers for your ds's health and for Nicky. You may never know what happens to her, but you were there and listened when she needed someone, and that counts for a lot.

Welcome Dilly. I am a recent-returner to faith, but happy to be where I am now.

I have got bogged down in (largely trivial, in the scheme of things) work worries and feel as if I am floundering and not keeping on top of things very well. Am praying either for better time-management skills, or for more hours in the day (the first of these seems as far off as the second at the moment!). We have friends staying this weekend, and I'll miss church for the first time since New Year. It feels odd that I'm worrying about it (after all, I didn't go at all for about 25 years!) but I am realising how much I am now relying on it to ... don't know what the right word is... to focus myself somehow.

LibraPoppyGirl · 18/02/2011 13:51

Hello Everyone,

I've written you all down in my prayer book and will pray for you all.

Please can I ask for prayers for my DP today. We are off to his workplace in about 20mins, where he has to attend a disciplinary hearing. Hopefully, just a minor offence. As some of you know he's been suffering with a great deal of stress and depression. Went to see the doctor this week and he arranged counselling and gave him antidepressants but last DP told me about an incident that happened about 2 weeks ago, where he didn't handle the vehicle he was driving properly and ended up skidding on the cargo ship, which they were loading at the time.

He's been carrying this around on his own for the last two weeks. I so wished he shared it with me, but I know he didn't want to worry me. He worries about me being pregnant kept it to himself. He said since our visit to the doctor though, he's feeling a little more confident that things can get better and all it takes is to talk about things, so he told me this morning about the hearing. We're sure, once presented with the medical evidence of his depression it will be a case of a procedure they call "informal counselling", however, I'm going with him for moral support anyway. I'll sit in the car and read my book Smile

Please pray for him this afternoon. Hearing is at 3pm. I'll be online later this evening.

God Bless you all.

Poppy xx

blackeyedsusan · 18/02/2011 14:53

Have read and prayed Poppy. I am off to meet h with the children soon. He will come baack to the flat to collect stuff after, so watch out for some stroppy posts when he has gone!!

amberlight · 18/02/2011 14:59

Lots of prayers for everyone as I'm reading through...

Teaandcakeplease · 18/02/2011 18:31

Please pray my DCs sleep well tonight, DD ended up in my bed last night again and kept waking and crying out. They're both exhausted and have just gone to bed. I think they're fighting some sort of bug again. But I'm so so so tired from being up and down in the night so much and then getting up with them when they wake early too Sad

I'm so tired I'm finding it hard to post anything meaningful right now. Sorry ladies Blush

blackeyedsusan · 18/02/2011 19:27

teaaand cakes.....go to bed yourself and catch up. most other things will wait!

gingercurl · 18/02/2011 19:59

TACP I can so sympathise with that exhausted feeling you get when you never seem to get more than than a moment's sleep and have a wriggling DC in your bed a. It takes tiredness to a completely new level. Prayers that DCs get well and that you get some good sleep tonight.

Hi Dilly!

Prayers for you, Mary, BES, Libra's DP, Amber, TUO and MHD. Sorry if I forgot anyone Blush

blackeyedsusan · 18/02/2011 22:28

He's been, he's gone, emotional maelstrom left behind.

MaryBS · 19/02/2011 02:32

Prayers BES - I hope its calmer now and you've been able to get some rest...

Oasis, how did you get on yesterday?

blackeyedsusan · 19/02/2011 09:05

how are you today Mary?

I am feeling better today after some sleep.

Sorry oasis was a bit prooccupied to ask about yesterdays aappointment last night. How did it go?

teaandcakes Did you manage to get some sleep?

TUO yes I do know. going to have to get my act together after half term.

MaryBS · 19/02/2011 09:25

Am OK thanks, BES. Didn't sleep that well, but I managed to sneak out of the house this morning to go to the Cathedral for early morning worship, which I've not been able to do since before Christmas. It was a real blessing to go, and I needed "to be fed". :)

Libra, how did your DP get on yesterday? I did pray, just never got round to posting...

Have finished my sermon for tomorrow, so that is good. :)

LibraPoppyGirl · 19/02/2011 13:14

Hi All Smile

DP got on okay yesterday, thank you so much for all of your prayers you are wonderful and our God is an amazing God.

He got a verbal warning only. He went to the hearing with all of his paperwork and a letter from the doctor and they accepted and understood that he was suffering from depression and under a lot of stress. They were very understanding and encouraged him to keep up the counselling and also said that if at any time he felt the frustrations coming over him at work, to come and talk to them and they would do all they could to help. Really happy with the outcome.

Praying for you all.

God Bless.
LibraPoppy xx

blackeyedsusan · 19/02/2011 13:56

Yay to finishing sermon.

Poppy, glad it went ok

MaryBS · 19/02/2011 16:14

LOL BES! Glad it went well, Libra...
