Starting a new thread as we head from Autumn into Winter... This is a safe and supportive place of prayer, where regulars, occasional visitors and lurkers, committed Christians and those just dipping a toe into the water are all equally welcome. Come and leave a prayer, tell us what’s going on in your life, bring your worries, hopes, fears and joys to God, and know that you will be prayed for.
We pray, in particular, for...
... amberlight, for her work raising awareness of autism in churches, and for her to know love and acceptance wherever she goes;

And we pray for those who read and pray but don’t post, for those who need our prayers but are afraid or too uncertain to post them, and for all those known to us in our own lives who need God’s love.
Calm us, O Lord, as You stilled the storm.
Still us, O Lord, keep us from harm.
Let all the tumult within us cease.
Enfold us, Lord, in Your peace. Amen

A new Christian prayer thread for Autumn and Advent... All welcome!

Juggling that sounds exciting, certainly saying a prayer.
Trish - welcome....I think I know who you are but not completely sure 
- great to see you :)
Welcome Ruby - lovely to have you join us, sorry to hear of what you have been through.
trish, no not in hospital thank goodness, just don't want a third Christmas in so doing all I can not to...doesn't quite work that way but I can hope!!
Thanks Ruby - I really hope I dropped it off at the right house - I got a bit nervous whether I'd got the address right after I'd sealed the envelope 
I'm sure you did :) I'm the same, sometimes have to reopen envelopes to check I've put the right name etc
Fab, a new thread - Thanks Tuo :) I do read and pray through from time to time, but haven't posted for ages.
Please could you pray for me? My mum is in hospital with a lung infection 'gunk' in the pleural cavity. As she only has 1 and a bit lungs to begin with, and scleroderma which is affecting her good lung, she is really poorly. She has lost a heck of a lot of weight, has had blood transfusions due to anaemia, IV fluids as she was badly dehydrated, and is currently on oxygen and IV antib's, waiting for a culture of the infection to grow. I spent all last week staying with my dad, visiting my mum in hospital and cooking to fill Dad's freezer for easy meals for him when he gets homew from visiting, and hopefully for my mum when she comes home.
Mum is going very slowly in the right direction - we too are praying she will be home for Christmas, but the consultant has warned us it may be months. I am utterly knackered, very selfishly had been looking forward to a break at half term yet have not had one at all.
Have lots of other plates to spin currently too, but to top it all DS had an exchange student arrive last night for 10 days. He is occupied every school day, but only a couple of evenings, and not at all at the weekend. Thankfully his English is significantly better than our German, and so far so good, but it is very tiring looking after him...
whinge, whinge, whinge. Sorry .
Oh Panda, definite prayers and love for you and your mum. Pleural infections are particularly nasty and painful :( Praying for you and your dad in all this too. 
Of course it's great you are commenting trish! Everyone welcome here :) (and yes I remember you)

Praying through. Welcome to all the new posters and welcome back to old friends.
I've posted a thread in sleep because I can't cope anymore. I'm sure that prayer is the best option though
