MN Christian Prayer Request Thread TAKE THREE!!

[CaptainDippy]

Hello everyone!!

As PandaG mentioned, the thread was getting a tad long, so I thought it was about time to begin another one!!

I'll start with a summary of all prayer requests in April and May (this obviously doesn't mean that any prayer requests before that time are now null and void - but the list would just be waaaay too long - So please do refer to the other threads from time-to-time to catch up on prayer requests before April 2006!!)

I also saw on the same page, the story of a little newborn baby girl (who had also been named Lily) who was found dead in a river. I am so upset. How completely awful. Below is the link to this story also (it is very distressing, please be warned) - So we can pray into this terrilbe sitation as well .....

Praying for you thepits - However you feel, do not blame yourself for what happened, it is not your fault. [hugs] and prayers to you - Keep posting - we are here!!

Oh my gosh!! I am sooo - I just went back to the link I posted and realised that they are news stories from last year!! Silly me - Let's pray into those situations anyway - Baby Lily1 must be coming on for a year now, I hope she is doing ok. And perpertrators of that terrible crime involving Lily2 must still be around possibly, how much pain must they have been in to do such a thing. Sorry everyone, think it is time for me to go bed!!

Perhaps you could tell us more about the Lily in the news you've heard about pelvicfloornomore???

Today is the day the adoption panel is meeting for my brother/SIL. I pray to God that they will have good news soon.

Thank you for reminding us MaryBS - Will be praying - Do let us know what happens .... Hope that everything goes smoothly and that they will have their own little son / daughter safely in their arms very soon!!

Hi everyone - Don't think that DD's are very well - Had to wake DD1 up today, which is very rare and poor DD2 has very sore bottom - ouch ouch ouch!! Both quite tired, snotty and a bit bluergh!! Please pray for fast recoveries!! Thank you!!

Sorry about my complete "Dippiness" yesterday evening - I was very tired!! Please update more about this Baby Lily pelvicfloornomore!!

Praying hard for strength for DHW.

Also, could we pray for strength for Holliec whose thread in relationships is entitled "why wont he stand up for me"

Just signing in to say Hi! A friend has an interview tomorrow for a teaching post that she would really like. If anyone can spare a few prayers for her she (and I) would appreciate it.

MaryBS - how did your brother/SIL get on?

Will pray for holliec and DHW, and the rest of you too. [smiile]

that is!

I haven't heard yet, thanks for asking! I'll give her a call soon. It would be really great if they have some news straight away!

What I HAVE heard about is that Reader selection is on 21 June in the evening (assuming I can arrange childcare!).

Prayers said for DHW, holliec, and your friend PandaG, and CD's children! Plus anyone else thats asking for prayers!

Praise God! I've just spoken to my brother and he and his wife have been approved for up to 2 children, and go on the register as of Friday!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!

Praise God! that is great news!

Hi all. I liked what you said about me being an 'original member' CaptainD, gave me a nice warm feeling. Sorry I've not been around much. I feel bad popping in and out of this thread. I have been using MN sporadically and recently I've either felt very good so selfishly I've not thought about coming in here or so bad that I couldnt face it :(. I feel a bit of a cheek asking for your prayers, but if there are any going spare I would appreciate somoe direction in my family's life right now and general strength. Thanks. x

thanks for all your prayers - the blood test went well and the DR rang to tell us the results were normal! yeah

Hi,the baby Lily i meant is Baby lily 2!
I cried and cried when i heard about her yesterday and i cant stop thinking about that poor poor angel.

Morning!! DD's are very poorly this morning, DH is with them now - They both have temps over 40 and DD2's bottom is still red raw. Poor little things - Please pray they recover soon, I miss my happy little girls already. Sigh. Apart from that, all ok in DippyLand.

Praying for your friend's interview for the teaching post today PandaG - Let us know how she's get on and eventually (I know how loooong these things take!!) whether she gets the job or not - Hope she does!

Wonderful news about your bro and SIL!! Hope God finds them the perfect little family soon - Adoption is such a special thing to do - they are very brave!! DH and I would like to adopt at some point. Will keep June 21st in mind do remind us nearer the time, we are all parents and have brains like sieves, well I do anyway !! Hope you get childcare ok - If I lived nearer, I'd be happy to do it!!

Hi naswm!! Great to hear from you - You are always welcome on this thread - Praying for strength through the difficult times you are facing - Keep on posting - We are here for you!! [hugs]

Sooooo pleased the blood test was ok - and soooooo pleased the results were normal Katzg - What does that mean for your DD now???

I am glad I posted one of my links right pelvicfloornomore!! I cried so much too - It ws so tragic and sad and unbearably awful. I just can't believe anyone could do that to their newborn baby. We must pray for the people who left that body there - they obviously need some serious help.

I'll find the link for Holliec's thread in a minute so we can pray for her more effectively.

I hope things went ok for DesperateHousewife yesterday, she has been on my mind so much, poor woman.

[hugs]] to all. xxxx

CD - it means that there are no complication with her skin condition, she just has cutaneous mastocytosis, i now have a huge list of questions for the consultant next time we are at dermatology clinic.

CD - prayers the little ones get well soon

Mary - fab news on the adoption front - there are 2 lucky children out there just waiting to be found!

I am glad that there are no complications for her. I am not too sure what that skin condition is - Could you enlighten me?? Write your questions down and fire away, I say!!

The link for Holliec's thread is ....

pandaG - prayers for friends job interview

Thank you for your prayers for me these last 10 days. I have survived, and the children are bug free although there is a high chance that ds3 is harbouring chicken pox as it has claimed most of the playgroup! My dh is home very late tonight, after 10 days away. I only have to get through one more trial: a meeting of the playgroup committee to be held at my house tonight, which might not sound like much to some, but is not something I am entirely relaxed about. I am offering up a prayer that my children go to bed in time and don't misbehave in front of all those strangers!

Sorry to see your children are unwell CD. No chance it is chicken pox I suppose? It would be awful if the virus missed my children and got transferred to yours instead!

Anyway, we are off on holiday on Saturday so I won't be able to keep up with this thread for a while, so I hope everyone's situations work out for the best.

Morning all

Just a call for anyone to join me in praying for Emkana and her family please. She is due any day knowing that her baby might have serious health problems, but they are unable to diagnose anything specific yet. Can't do links - perhaps someone else might be able to add one?

Just tracked back to her post on 28 April, when she concluded "Please keep your fingers crossed for me that things will turn out as well as possible, and if you're that way inclined, please pray for my baby's health. "

Praying for you and your little one, Emkana.

Oh and praying for you all, and for Holliec too.
