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

Hi All

Still here, still praying, still not having any more contractions, praise the Lord!

Please pray for me this week as DH goes back to work, so for the first time since all this kicked off 2 weeks ago, I will be entirely on my own with my DD who is 4 and about to start school, so it will only be for a couple of weeks.

Have also been feeling weird and not right since the last lot of contractions so am trying to see my consultant, but of course her secretary is on holiday for the next 2 weeks and the temp who is answering her phone is a tad clueless, so hopefully will get on better tomorrow!

CaptainDippy · 21/08/2006 22:34

Thanks for the update WB - Continuing to think of you and pray honey. xxxx

longwaytogo · 22/08/2006 12:02

oh wow that is fantastic. Well done to Mr & Mrs Dippy. ohhh a baby i'm soooo excited. All you need now is a house.

Pudmog · 22/08/2006 12:12

CD congratulations! Will be praying for you!

MarsLady · 22/08/2006 12:25

CD............ WOW! Congratulations.

Sleepysooz... my email is lovelymarslady at aol dot com. You can email me as and when you want to. Twins are such a blessing (even when they break into the Toilet Duck...sigh...........)

J's husband has just told her that it's over after 12 years of marriage. She's in shock. They have a 2.6yo (same age as my DTs). Please pray that they find each other again. AFAIK there is no one else involved. They've had a lot of pressure for several years and I think it just became too much. Can't say more.. sorry.

I love reading down this thread and seeing the way that God is working. I also love the fact that people feel that they can freely post here and ask for prayer. Wonderful.

Am praying for you all. Dave, my friend, is doing fantastically. Please pray that he continues to gain his strength. Another friend who was first diagnosed 12 years ago, Roger, got his all clear finally so that's a reason to praise.

Love to you all. I pray that God gives you the strength you need for each day and brings peace and joy to your hearts.

AngelJay · 22/08/2006 13:32

Hiya Marslady so sad to hear of your friend and her DH. Pray it all works out for them!

Thanks to Captain Dippy and also Big Congrats on your pregnancy! "Awesome" (it's a gr8 word, I agree!)

Yorkiegirl I was so sorry to hear your sad news, my thoughts and prayers are with you and I ask that God will uphold you in the palm of His hand and wrap you up with His love so that you can get through this!!!!!!!! He IS able and you are not alone!

katzg · 22/08/2006 13:34

saggarmakersbottomknocker - i guess the little boy you know is the one who is being mentioned in the press, i pray for the family involved and hope that they are allowed to grieve for then little boy in peace

sleepysooz · 22/08/2006 14:11

marslady - thank you for that, have noted your e-mail address, you might regret giving it me if I get on your nerves!

sleepysooz · 22/08/2006 14:11

yorkiegirl - prayers are with you at this very moment!

sleepysooz · 22/08/2006 14:12

CD - well what can I say, but CONGRATULATIONS! enjoy the moment
