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

Sorry missed a couple of prayers:

wrong staionary deliveries and job interview!

MarsLady · 30/08/2006 17:59

Okay girls... different request:

I have a client who is 2cm dilated with no contractions. Now I have a study day on Saturday and so I need this baby born, preferably tomorrow, but tonight would be good (sob... and me about to go out salsa dancing... sob!) Anyway, she had a traumatic last birth so could you pray that this one is an easy one. Many thanks.

sleepysooz · 30/08/2006 18:04

marslady - I was 2cm dilated and gave birth 2 days later, so go to salsa! and we'll pray she can wait till you get back

CaptainDippy · 30/08/2006 18:05

Will pray Mars!!!! Sorry you might have to miss Salsa!! Hope it just "pops" out! Let us know .....

Will try and do summary soooooon - just having a "want to crawl under the duvet and disappear right now" sort of moment, I'm afraid.

OP posts:
naswm · 30/08/2006 18:09

oh CD sorry you are feeling rough. I'm praying for you. Only do what has to be done tonight then have a nice warm bath and an early night.

sleepysooz · 30/08/2006 18:10

Aw CD just you climb under that duvet, then pop out and you're pregnant, how wonderful is that.

No sorry its rubbish sometimes, I suffered for 9 whole months with the twins, morning sickness, depression, denial every emotion under the sun!

I pray that you feel a little better later, but go with the flow and cry, it doesn't matter! its a healthy sort of upset.

Tawny75 · 30/08/2006 19:49

For all of you who need prayer, I offer my AR for you tonight.

Could I ask you to spare a prayer for me too, I have a problem with my eyes, and am seeing my Consultant at 9.00 tomorrow (Thursday) Many thanks and God Bless

Nicky

weirdbird · 30/08/2006 21:09

CaptainDippy · 31/08/2006 09:53

Hey all!

Felt really terrible when I woke up this morning, but feeling a bit better now - still don't feel like eating anything, but I am hungry, which is frustrating.

If my MIL says "Are you feeling tired and sick?" and then walks away without asking for an answer one more time, I think I am going to scream!! Lord grant me patience - but hurry!

Thank you once again for your kind words - they are helping!

Praying for you as you go for your scan today Podmog - it is ok to be worried and scared honey. I really hope it goes wonderfully well and that little one obligingly lets you know what sex they are! Let us know how it went!

Right - off to start the new thread ......

OP posts:
MarsLady · 31/08/2006 10:00

Hi all no baby yet! It needs to born today or tomorrow. I have a major study day on Saturday and a night off with my mate. Sleepysooz.... so that would be Friday... you know I'm holding you to that don't you.

Hope the appointment went well this morning Tawny.

Praying for you all!
