Christian Prayer Thread. Back to school and into Autumn

Dutchoma · 28/08/2015 17:38

As we were nearly at 1000 posts and TUO is both very busy and away today, I thought I might have a go at setting up a new thread.
I have looked back over nearly four months of prayers, of sharing, of support, of gladness and sadness and so much more. I think there are about 50 different people on the thread, some are there from beginning to end, some come in, are here for a few days and then don’t post any more.
Both are valuable, all are welcome, we share with you in anxiety and depression, in worry for others, but also in prayers answered, wonderful healing, good exam results and so much more.
But we also realise that life moves on, that the prayer thread was helpful for a while and is not so relevant now. Never be afraid to come back, we all need prayer and support.

So, like TUO I shall pick out a few names for the new thread, but leave behind some that have not posted for a while, hoping that they will come back and update us.
Specially thinking of: Anjelica27; I know how much this thread has helped you. Bsshbosh and wondering how she is now.

Whoagirrrrl, after her operation. Dizzydaffodil, Pandora37 and PeterSpots .

There are so many more names to remember: Alittleroom, Bluetinkerbell, DontstepontheMomeraths, Howtoapproachthis and several more.

And then the ones that are quite recent like:
ALittleFaith, Amberlight; BlackEyedSusan, Dontbesilly; EdithSimcox; FaithLoveandHope, Kaykat, Lightnessofbeing; MadHairDay; PositiveAttitude; QuestionofFaith; QuietIsland2; SESthebrave; TUO; Weegiemum; ZipadiSoozi

And if I have omitted any one, be assured that God never forgets and holds you fast in His love and mercy.

BlackeyedSusan · 23/09/2015 14:36

off to meet the teacher.

madhairday · 23/09/2015 16:12

That is great news dont - praying that things will go well for you all now and praying for peace and relief from pain for your dad, hope the indigestion meds help with the gastritis.

Lovely and honest prayer, Edith - you are in my continued prayers.

Sorry for another radio silence recently. blahblah lungs and all that. Third week of strong antibiotics - these ones really take it out of me, sooo tired.

love to you all, and prayers Flowers

Dontbesilly · 23/09/2015 17:22

Hoping you feel much better soon Madhair and the antibiotics kick in. You poor thing it sounds nasty with three weeks of antibiotics. No wonder you feel tired hoping you get lots of rest.

Good luck with your meeting bes, hopefully you will get a satisfactory outcome.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, it's much appreciated x

Dontbesilly · 23/09/2015 17:28

Oh before I forget......good luck quiet with the new software. Hopefully everything will click into place for you. I hope things are going well for you at work. I don't particularly like change at work but it's got to be done, so thinking of you and hoping that it's not too much of a change. X

QofF · 23/09/2015 17:49

dont thats great news Smile
edith thanks for the prayer - love it- and glad things are improving
praying for you all Flowers

EdithSimcox · 23/09/2015 19:31

MHD praying for you too Flowers

Tuo · 23/09/2015 23:54

Edith - thank you - wonderful prayer which I needed tonight.

Struggling to stay on top of things atm. House move has got complicated (I'll spare you the details) and work is piling up. Everything feels a bit frenzied and out of my control ( not that I'm a control freak, oh no, not at all )

Praying for everyone, but especially for health for MHD, for Don't and her dad, for PA and everyone affected by her mum's illness, for Anjelica, for Oma, and for BES. And for anyone I've forgotten. I'm not a great contributor to the thread atm, for which I apologise, but you're all often in my thoughts.

Dontbesilly · 24/09/2015 08:06

Tuo - just wanted to say that I hope things go smoothly for you with the move and your work too. Very stressful time I imagine so I will pray for you for things to go smoothly and for you to feel more in control again. Thanks for your prayers too I appreciate them.

I hope you could still have a nice day at times?

It's been nice and sunny here and we enjoyed meeting up with others this afternoon at our Meeting House

EdithSimcox · 27/09/2015 20:31

Praying for you all.

Could you spare a thought and prayer for me and DP tomorrow as we start relationship counselling? Thanks.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 27/09/2015 20:39

Thinking of you Edith
Praying for clarity, peace, and harmony Smile

Patchworkturtle · 27/09/2015 20:40

Hi everyone. I was reading the thread this morning before church and took the opportunity to pray for as many of you as I could remember during our prayer time.

Things are tough here at the moment, my wonderful partner has asked for some time apart to focus on finding work and sorting out his own situation and I'm a little lost. He claims he wants to be better for us. It's doubly hard for me because he was the one who brought me to Christianity, really showed me what it meant and made me love myself and my life again, so if anyone could spare a moment to pray for us to have the strength to get through this it'd be appreciated.

God bless x

Dutchoma · 27/09/2015 20:49

Praying for you and your DP Edith and for you too PatchworkTurtle. Whatever happens, nobody can take your new found faith from you, so hang in there and hold tight.

madhairday · 27/09/2015 21:13

Praying for you both, Edith and Patchwork

BlackeyedSusan · 27/09/2015 22:20

praying it goes well Edith.

oh turtle. how unsettling. [understatement] prayers.

I took dd out with her dad today while ds was in rehearsal. ds played with ex later. he was rather shattered and had a meltdown after working really hard to behave for three hours. oh and I have bought a second hand dyson. (and a cylinder full of dust) picking it up from the previous owner was really arduous to transport it the three feet from one front door to the next. Grin

HardyLaodicean · 28/09/2015 03:31

Thank you Dutchoma for this thread.

I have not posted for a while. I just want to send a prayer to all those who are worrying or have problems. Dutchoma and others gave me strength with their prayers when it was a good time for me to have some strength, and I am grateful and will not forget that.

"Keep us ever in Your watch, till we can walk again with light hearts and renewed spirits."
