HI FIVE!! MN Christian Prayer Request Thread Continues .......

537 replies

CaptainDippy · 27/07/2006 20:25

Hello there!!

"Never doubt that a community of thoughtful, committed women, filled with the power and the love of God, using gifts they have identified and developed, and pursuing passions planted in them by God - never doubt that these women can change the world"

Need I say more (thanks for that quote MaryBS!)

Well, here's a summary of July's requests - Do update if you can!!

MaryBS - Prayers for her mum coming to terms with her vocation. Been having vivid dreams and would like for them to stop (have they?) DH's nephew was adopted at the age of 3 and is now exhibiting some bad behavioural problems, mum and dad asking about "giving him back" etc. Very difficult situation. Prayers for study etc as she undertakes the course to become a Reader at church. Difficult situation regarding the church hall needs to be resolved. DD has a class mate who keeps hitting her etc, MaryBS unsure of how to handle the situation. Lots of prayers for non-Chiristian DH as he becomes more involved in church life (YEY! ) Prayers for situation between Vicar and a member of choir and finally prayers for a friend who has been meeting with Social Workers re: possibly adopting today! Pudmog - Feeling nauseous still (16 weeks PG, due on Jan 17th) and has chest infection. Has been struggling to control DS' asthma and has been really, really struggling with church (one couple in particular making it very hard.) Continuing prayers for the situation regarding racist accusations levelled at her children's school.

Twiga - DH's Uncle has Oesophogeal cancer and is very, very ill.

harrisey - Has found somewhere to live when her and her family move to Glasgow to attend Bible College in Sept. Praise God!!

Xavielli - Dad is home from hospital and is doing well. Lots of prayers for her sister who has had to have an abortion following the discovery that her unborn baby had Edward's Syndrome. Prayers as they cope with this loss.

longwaytogo - Ongoing prayers for her DD's health problems, especially for her as she attends Allergy Clinic on Aug 31st Prayers too for her nan and grandad who were involved in a car accident; although they were not seriously hurt, they are battered and bruised and coming to terms with the shock of it all. Lots of prayers for her friend who is going to adopt a little boy - they are meeting up for the 1st time very soon!!

JessicaandRebeccasMummy - DH had another operation on July 5th - Is going to be discharged from the army very soon, lots of prayers for them as a family - finding new job, home etc etc.

Nanou1 - DH didn't get job in the end. Feeling very and right now - lots of prayers needed for reassurance and acceptance - and for another to job to come up very soon!! How did DD do in France Nanou1 btw??

TigerT - DD had to have another op on her head on July 6th as wound was becoming infected - praying that her little DD is ok, the infection is gone and she is on the road to recovery.

footprint - Struggling with depression and anxiety - has been doing better and was last seen going off on her hols with her family! How are you doing honey??

katzg - Didn't get job , but is feeling positive and praying hard that another job opportunity will come up soon as her contract on her current job runs out on Aug 31st. Also prayers for her DD who is under Consultant care for the skin condition Cutaneous Mastocytosis.

PandaG - Currently off on lots of hols - so praying she is having a lovely time! Her youth leader who had cancer died and the service was a beautiful tribute to her.

CatJ - DD4 is still in hospital and is improving, but she is going to require lots of ongoing prayers as she is going to spend quite a bit of time in hospital over the coming weeks / months etc .... Lots of prayers for all the LO's that DD4 is in hospital with.

NotQuiteSoTiredMum - DS2's excema is very bad and keeping them all up at night - Prayers for sleep in that household!!

puddingz - Prayers for the family of a little boy (8 yrs) who was tragically killed in a Hit and Run incident.

naerlythree - Prayers for baby DS who has been very poorly.

Kate100 - Prayers for communication issues between her and her dad.

melbournemum - Prayers for her DB and SIL who are about 9 weeks PG. They have lost a number of children through miscarriage - Praying that this "Little Bean" holds on!!

waswondering - Prayers for cousin's 2 week old DD2 who is in hospital with a viral infection.

CaptainDippy - As ever, ongoing prayers for job situation (hers and DH's), house situation and driving lessons (going well btw ) Prayers for friends who are struggling with new baby DS and for friends who are coming to terms with the fact that they will never grow old together as DH has diagnosed with terminal cancer. I think that is all for me - for now!

Love and Prayers to you all. xxxx

MaryBS · 11/08/2006 21:13

Just taking a break from the tidying up to tell you you don't get off the naughty step till I tell you, young madam!

naswm · 11/08/2006 21:34

Hello everyon. I had to get off mn for awhle. And I a not really hre now. But wanted to say hi while I am. Hope you are all ok. God Bless. naswm Nx

weirdbird · 11/08/2006 22:50

Please can you pray for me, I have only just joined Mumsnet and am 21 weeks pregnant, we have just gotten back from the Hospital where they confirmed I am having contractions and that there is nothing they can do at this stage as until I am 24 weeks they dont give medication to stop them.

So have come home to see what happens as I can be with my husband this way, rather than alone in hospital

Please pray they stop and don't come back, this has been a very hard pregnancy so far and I have been really ill, I don't want to lose the baby now I am half way there.

Kathye

MaryBS · 12/08/2006 03:49

Kathye - poor you! Of COURSE we'll pray for you. Welcome to our thread, I just wish it was with happier news. I truly hope and pray God will look after this baby for you, until he/she is ready to be born. God bless you and your family. Try and take it easy and rest, and try not to get to stressed {hug}

Naswm - hope all is well with you, and that we'll see you back here again soon.

CD - we're having a BBQ later today, so here's praying that the weather clears, we had a downpour last night! I don't fancy hordes of chidren rampaging the house. Praying your DDs feel better and that you're able to go to your wedding.

Nanou1 - it'll be a few weeks before I 'see' you again - we're off on hols next Fri. for 2 weeks.

lwtg - hoping and praying you're feeling better now. I think DH would flip if I started playing worship CDs. Mind you, when he asked what music I wanted for the party, and was suggesting (due to my age!) some Glenn Miller (CD - you might need to look up who GM is!), I did counter it by saying I wanted some "Mission praise" music! . My two went through the biting phase, DS still does occasionally bite DD - he's a bit like a puppy when he gets overexcited. Hopefully it'll be a short-lived thing. As for your tearfulness, some of it is down to PMT, but remember tears are a healing process, and you don't appreciate the 'ups' so much if you don't have 'downs' as well. Pray to the Lord for healing, I thank God every day for the healing he has given to me {hug}. I know that feeling of 'alone yet not alone'.

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. Not sure whether I'll get back on here again today (although I might struggle to keep away - don't want to miss anything ). CD, you can come off the naughty step now...

CaptainDippy · 12/08/2006 08:13

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYBS!!!!

I got there 1st, I got there 1st!!

Hope you have a wonderful day honey!! Praying this afternoon is lovely and sunny so you can have your BBQ ok and all those delightful little people (children and men, obviously ) can romp in your garden and not in your house!! Hope DH gets you a super present!!

Oh.

Nearly forgot ....

YOU ARE 40!!!!

Back to normality ......

Welcome to the thread weirdbird / Kathye - like MaryBS said, of course we will pray for you sweetheart - I cannot even begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now - scared and uncertain are a couple of guesses. Sending you soooo many [[hugs] and praying your little bean stays right where he/she is until they are ready to be out in this big world. Praying your DH knows the best way to comfort you at this time and just praying so much that little bean hangs on in there. Keep posting - let us know how you are, how you feel - So glad you found us! Try starting a thread on what is happening - you might be surprised how many people have been through what you are going through now - and can offer comfort, advice and shared experience. If you are not sure how to start a thread - come back and I'll do it for you, if you like!!? (After all, I did start this one!! ) [hugs] to you honey. xxxx

Good to "see" you naswm (I won't tell anyone else you were here, honest!! ) Sending you [hugs] Lots of Love and Prayers. xxxx

Xavielli - My email address is: captain_dippy "at" yahoo "dot" co "dot" uk Oooooh, excited about discussing invitations, fellow youngling!!

Hopefully off to the Wedding today - DD's seem much better (so far) Thank you for your prayers, as always.

I love this thread!!

Love and Prayers to all. xxxx

Thank you Lord for a wonderful husband (I got a digital SLR for my birthday), and for good friends (even ones who are rude about my age - no respect in the young these days...)
