Christian prayer thread

[Dutchoma]

Just starting a new thread without any embellishments so it doesn't run out.
Please add any concerns/witterings/names to it.
Love to you all.

QoF, from time to time we are all driven to prayer by life's troubles. God hears us, because He loves us. He loves your father too and I pray that your father wil have the best medical care possible and that the situation is not nearly as serious as it could be.

Thank you QofF and I'm glad to hear that things with you have improved as well. I will pray for your dad.

just rung my mum. still sore but dr.nurse goingweds.

off to the library to use computers for homework.

small boys allowing. mum still worried about small boy seeing her. she is now terrified of him. (understandably)

QoF, I will pray for your dad. I am glad that things with your DH are on track.

Kaykat, thank you. I am getting towards acceptance in my head that I am doing all I can, and then it is down to trust and faith that it will, over time, be enough. Though I cannot stop crying. There is something which I read which is look to what you love and it will save you.

bes prayers for calm for you.

prayers for all xxx

I am doing the deep breathing cocoa... library went well. I came out unexpectedly grumpy. ds was well behaved, dd got a significant amount of homework done, there were no driving incidents... perhaps just hungry, though ds has done his growling thing which winds me right up. . i did not eat sweets while there today

how did your dad's appointment go QOF?

how did the school run go the other day orchid?

So am I bes, I had a full blown panic attack for the first time in ages this morning.

I have reached the end of the road as to what I can realistically do. My heart feels broken.

innnnnnnnn and hold 2 3 and ouuuuuuut.

Oma is always telling me you can do what you can do and no more.

be kind to yourself. look at what you can realistically do, take time to regroup and organise your thoughts. and breathe,,,

and extra prayers please from those who have the capacity for mother who has caused another situation.

Praying for others is always a good way of feeling better, bes, I pray for you that the situation does not escalate.

Kind childminder has not raised an eyebrow at me being home on sofa instead of work, fixed me a cup of tea, and is supervising homework. I am trying to breathe and not cry.

You are both coping as well you can. Enough is enough though and then you must stop.

sod not crying, sometimes it makes you feel better... and bizarrely also if it is onion related too, if you are feeling particularly crap before burning cooking the onions and garlic.

I want to stop now, though as it is school run time, this is not an option. hoping ds has had a good day at school.

people better not piss me off today or I shall breathe on them.... (about 8 cloves of garlic rushed out of the packet into the pan)

I feel like I am failing DS because I cannot keep him safe any more. I need to accept that I have done all I can and for God to watch over him when he is not with me. Please can someone more knowledgeable find me a good prayer?

Do you feel he's unsafe with his dad? Is it court ordered contact? I'm not at all knowledgable with prayers, just whatever comes into my mind and I'm sure that's fine. I also wonder if there's any practical steps you can take either legally or with the help of family/in laws/ex in laws. It may be that you've explored every possibility already.

Thanks for the prayers all- doesn't look like things with df are as serious as we were told they could be. Thank God.
cocoa your situation sounds awful. Do you have much RL support and guidance.

have a good day cocoa. prayers.

Everyone who can be is involved in RL and doing what they can within framework of the law. Kaykat has helped me clarify priorities - I am grateful for that. But yes, it is a shit situation. Post panic attack I ended up telling a colleague the whole entire situation- unprofessional or what .

QoF, glad your dad's situation is less serious than feared. I will keep praying that you have some respite from concerns, it sounds like that would be welcome for you.

For bes, and Orchid and everyone else who needs calm and patience and strength in day to day life, I am praying for you. Orchid, I hope the return to work is going well.

Prayers also for all in need

Morning all

• praying as reading through.

cocoa may God grant you serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can and wisdom to know the difference I pray for calmness for all who need it. I dont know what your job is but I'm sure your work mate didn't mind you talking. I'm finding work v stressful and anxiety inducing at the moment. School run is gradually getting a bit better. I have hurt my ankle - other one to the one a couple of weeks ago. Hurts and is swollen and red do hobbling everywhere. qof glad you got better news than expected. Bes keeping you in prayers as always

another day, another email, after another day another meltdown.

feeling a bit calmer today.... did boing around the yarn shop a bit whilst buying ribbon. obviously a surge of adrenaline/stress getting the children to school on time/journey today.

Morning everyone. Oh I mean afternoon.

BES, sounds like a tough few days. Not sure what happened with your mum but praying for healing and calm in all of that. And peace for you

Kaykat, it's so lovely to see you and I'm delighted to hear things are improving with ex and with ds. You went through such a tough time with it all. Great that you're moving too, is it far?

Cocoa - I'm so sorry. Your situation sounds really, really hard. I have no words but do know God hears our prayers, the cry of our heart, even if we have no words to pray. God knows. Praying for hope for you today.

QoF, great to see you too, and glad your news was better than you expected.

Hello OrchidFlower, how are you?

Amber, great to see you here. Have PMd you.

Oma, thank you for this thread, and BES too, really appreciate it. I'm sorry for my very flaky presence here of late. We finally have broadband (was using up all my mobile data on work stuff and hardly got on here) and things are starting to settle down for us in new house/church. It's absolutely lovely!! Feel very blessed and dh loving it. The kids are at the same schools, just have to travel a bit further but they are coping really well. Everything has come together well.

Have to go and bake cakes - having a 'welcome to the vicarage' coffee morning tomorrow...

love to all.

Hi mhd nice to hear from you and thank you for asking after me.
Struggling going back to work as it's making me anxious. Trying to fight it - it's exhausting. Continuing to pray for calm at home. Things have been better recently so I'm thankful. Enjoy baking. Channel your inner Mary berry! Hope you're feeling settled.

Thank you MHD and I'm glad you like the new church and vicarage. No I'm not moving far but it's near two towns that I don't know at all well so It will be a new adventure. I was homesick for such a long time but not any more now that I have a fresh start.
