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

Nanou I not surprised if you have got ibs my tummy is the first thing to go if under stress and I don't think we under any illustion tht you are under stress atm. Try some relaxing exercises when I can feel my tummy starting if I do some deep breating sometimes its enough to halt it. Hope you get it sorted soon try the gp also, there are some great meds on the market bit of trial and error though. Will pray it gets better.

Naswm praying for your ds, and that worries will disolve.

Cd poor mum - is she getting help from hv, gp? sounds like she needs some.

Right hey ho, hey ho its off to work we go

MaryBS · 03/08/2006 07:33

Ugh, had another rough night, coughing and spluttering. Was awake between 2 and 4am. Got up finally at 6am. Please forgive me if I just offer up 'general prayers' for you all.

I'll pray for you all at Morning Prayer this am - I'm leading it this morning, for the first time, not that I'm in any fit state. Yesterday morning I said the intercessions, and managed to squeeze in a prayer for Cat's baby, at the same time missing out prayers for our bishops and the diocesan prayers I was supposed to say - still, showed where my priorities lay
Still finding MP a bit confusing, what with having to bookmark 3 separate pages, plus the bible readings, plus 3 sets of prayers which have to be merged into one...

And its pouring with rain and we're supposed to be going out today to Wicksteed Park as I've got the day off, plans may need to be changed

Nanou1 · 03/08/2006 09:11

morning all. busy today so won't be long. prayers all round esp. marybs on first big day?! will try and catch up later x

CaptainDippy · 03/08/2006 10:49

Hello! Well here I am, sitting in the Birth and Baby Shop eating Green and Blacks Caramel for breakfast ......

Hope your prayer leading goes ok this morning MaryBS - Thank you for remembering us, esp Cat's little honey - You are such a sweetie!! Praying that your cough / cold eases soon and allows you some more sleep, you must be exhasuted, poor thing! [hugs]]

How's your DS lwtg?? Been thinking of him and praying for him!!

Not a lot of news here, horrid, gloomy weather, yuk! Meeting a friend for lunch and then off home to do housework and driving lesson at 4.30pm - busy, busy, busy - I'll be sure to drop by later to see how you all are.

Love and [hugs] and Prayers to all. xxxx
