Christian Prayer Thread. Back to school and into Autumn

[Dutchoma]

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.

Sorry to dive in again with a selfish post.

Mum and dad's best friend (friends for 70+ years) died last night. Dad has taken the news really badly. Went to visit the care home that mum is supposed to be going to on Monday - they are refusing to take her! (it would be totally unsafe for her to be there) Back to square one!! Hospital social workers have fed us and the care home a pack of lies.
My dad has visibly aged massively in the 5 hours I was with him today.
Mum is deteriorating rapidly. I dont know that we have time any more for negotiating another care home.

oh heck PA. prayers for you and your parents.

Praying PA

Praying for you PA and ongoing ones for peace Pandora

Keeping everyone in prayers as I'm reading through.

still praying PA. been praying since last posted. may the lord our God and loving Father surround you with his arms of peace and sustain you through this difficult time.

Oh goodness PA, praying now for yoy and your DParents. That sounds all so hard. Praying also about the job.

Lighten our darkness we beseeech Thee, o Lord and by Thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night. For the love of Thy only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

ddhas an appointment today. leg pain.

Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers.

MHD how is your health at the moment?
BES praying for answers for DD's pain.
ANd how are you doing Edith ?

I seem to be living in a parallel universe at the moment! Too many things are happening all at once for me to even begin to recount them all here.
I have just typed out a long post about one of the situations, but it would be very identifiable and could ultimately be used to have someone sacked who is just trying to help us. Lies have been written in my mums notes about my dad and about us as a family. My dad has been accused of fraud because he did not understand a form he signed and it was even questioned by my sister in front of the social worker and she said to sign it anyway - now she is saying its fraud. As a family we have had lies written about us because we have not done anything about finding a home for mum for 5 weeks - we didnt look because we told we would have no say and we would be told when and where she was going.
Words cannot express the feelings I have about this social worker right now.
My um might now be refused in some of the best nursing homes because of these reports against us as a family. Unbelievable!
I have found the perfect place for mum, it is £1000 a week! Please pray that everything gets sorted out quickly and the best for mum.

DH comes home on TUesday next week. I so need him here to help me cope with all this.

Hello everyone. Sorry for not posting recently. I have had such a lot on. I have been reading and praying for each and every one of you.

Pa - I have been reading your posts and I feel so very sorry for you for what you and your family are having to go through. It just seems so unfair, ridiculous and infuriating. Surely common sense will prevail and this will be sorted out for you all and an apology is made to you and your family.

I have been praying for the position you applied for and that you are safe and protected following your scary experience the other night. I also prayed for your dh in his work in the missionary. You poor thing to have such a lot on your plate, your dh is away from home and this too. I will pray for the nursing home place for your mum in the wonderful home.

Bes - hoping your dd is OK and your ds is now fully recovered. What a shame about your mum's freezer after all the hard work of stocking it up too. I really do admire the way you seem to pick yourself up and carry on going. Hoping your well too and looking after yourself. You have so many plates spinning.

We are gearing ourselves up for another round of hospital appointments and decisions on dad's treatment. I am praying for good news again. I feel a bit greedy as I am always praying for good news. I hope God understands me. Dad gave me a beautiful gold cross and chain today for no reason other than to thank me for helping him and mum. It's absolutely beautiful and so precious. It can replace my old cross and I will treasure it.

Well hoping everyone is safe and well and I will pray for you all. God bless you all x

just had a couple more plates added to spin... grr. (possibly resulting from a fire practice)

drag the wheely in past them

oops wrong thread

got a meeting with ds's teacher later. hoping that something can be put in place for ds as there was 6 hours of distress last night.

Lurking and praying. Was thinking of you PA yesterday as I was doing the hoovering. Praying that a great place for your DM will come up soon.

BES - you had me confused. I kept thinking about wheelie bins and fire practice and I thought I was a bit dim as I didn't understand. So glad it was the wrong thread but it did make me smile hoping all is OK though!!

there was only one person being dim... and it was not you...

BES - Hopefully the meeting with the teacher gets you positive results for your ds. Poor thing six hours is a long time for him to be distressed, and for you too. Praying for a positive outcome for him and for you too. Hoping your dd is OK and that the leg pain is a lot better. for you x

he slept last night and quite a bit of the evening too. we are still working with a hair trigger today. there has been a lot of shouting and stamping.

the teacher was positive and is going to try some stuff. new teacher, new senco... we shall see. I was really worried about ds getting an unknown quantity, but this seems to be working out ok.

Thank you Lego - I hope I was light relief for your hoovering!

Dad went to see the amazing care home yesterday and was impressed, so looking quite positive so far.
DB is absolutely fuming about Social worker. I think she has chosen the wrong family to mess with. In the family we have loads of qualifications, even if they are not all current, a lawyer, a nurse, an accountant, a headteacher and a teacher. We will not be brow beaten and slandered by her.
DH comes home on Tuesday - I cant wait!

Prayers that you all have a blessed Sunday.

That must be very stressful PA on top of everything else.

Enjoying the rugby this afternoon and my dh is just home too.

another week, one more weeek to half term...

Reading.... Praying...
No news here.

BES - that's good news. Hoping things continue thus way. How's your dd getting on in school about the speaking aloud? Funnily enough within 48 hours of mentioning my dd's experience of not being able to speak at school and the school continuing to be disinterested, the teacher rang me to discuss this and put new measures and strategies in place to help support her. I wonder if she is on mumsnet anyway, hopefully things should improve. Hoping your dd is doing well too.

Pa - I am praying for the nursing home place for your mum. You all deserve it after the ordeal you have been subjected to. Really hoping that you can set the record straight for your family and you can all recover from this and put it behind you. Prayers for you all. Bet you are excited for your dh coming home tomorrow!!! Praying for a safe journey home to you.

Edith - hoping your sessions are going well and you are good too.

Dads going for another scan today and gets the results back tomorrow with the plan of action. Please can you pray for a positive outcome for him and that thus wonderful hospital and it's fantastic team can offer some treatments. I am constantly praying for him. I am off to light a candle at home and spend some time in prayer, thankful for the recent graces and praying for this scan to be positive. It's a very important time in this treatment plan and it's quite scary. I know that God will take care of him though and keep him safe whatever.

Prayers for you all too and hoping you are safe and well.

some one pick me up, dust me off and set me on the way again. suffering form last straw syndrome.
