PA I read your news on Wednesday and I am so pleased for you, your DD and her partner that their little baby boy is safely home. I have been praying for him and give thanks to the Lord for this outcome. I also pray for his continued well-being.

dont thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. None of it was out of turn and I am so very grateful for the prayers and support I have received on this thread. I am off the floor (though DS now calls my crying corner my quiet corner, which is sweet) and dusted down. In my prayers, it has come to me that what goes on in my house, how I care and look after DC is the most important thing and requires protection. I kept asking for guidance and clarity on the legal situation and God kept bringing my attention to DC day to day issues and the love they need (so your words were well-placed dont). It was like He was saying I did not need any more clarity. I am praying to God that He will let things unfold as best they can.

MHD I do hope you are feeling better, what you describe sounds awful. Prayers for recovery.

Dont I hope you are on the mend a bit every day too.

Bes I pray for some calm for you, and I also am adding prayers for Orchid that you not doubt yourself and that your husband is more supportive. Anxiety is debilitating and you are doing really well. I think when you are constantly second guessing yourself and someone's mood, it is easy to lose sight of the reality of the situation. You are doing well and being ill is not your fault.

I am adding prayers for Dutchoma for her kindness and thoughtful words, always well placed.

Also for Tuo as I now read the Northumbria Community prayers after she posted from there a while back.

And generally that truth, faith and hope overcome darkness and despair. May God be with you all and keep you safe Flowers

On top of that, reading it back, it has come to me that my prayers should be for focus now. On my Twitter feed, there was a quote as follows:

If you knew who walked beside you at all times,
You would not falter
You would never experience fear or doubt again

W Dyer

I am switching between screens on my phone so I hope I have not misquoted. It reminded me of Jesus walking beside you and then carrying you. I have been carried and I give thanks for that. I need to walk again now. Prayers to be able to do so.

Dutchoma · 17/02/2017 22:56

Lighten our darkness, we beseech 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

Amen.

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 10:37

Thanks OMA. Lovely prayer xx

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 16:37

Please pray for me- I feel unwell- sick, headache, lightheaded and anxiety, slight temp and possibly water infection. All made worse with anxiety. Dh is out now with a group of friends- don't know when he will be back. Frightened of being ill alone. Dc doing Xbox / homework. Please hold my hand x

Lissette · 18/02/2017 17:47

Orchid I'm here. Just me and ds as dh away in US. I feel for you. Ds is ill with slight temp and I'm fretting. Try breathing calmly and don't let your thoughts run away to turn into scary thoughts. You will get through this. Do yo have any meds for the UTI?

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 17:53

Thanks lissette no don't have any Meds - going to get to doctors on Monday- hopefully I don't need walk in centre tomorrow. Need to stop my mind racing. Xx

Lissette · 18/02/2017 17:54

Normally I make endless cups of tea and the caffeine sends me into a spiral but we're running out of milk so that can't happen Grin. If it's any consolation ds was on ps4 today while I fretted about him. You may feel a little dizzy with the temp but you'll be fine.

Lissette · 18/02/2017 17:57

I seem to think that I have magical powers that turn my thoughts into facts. If I ruminate I think the thought will happen for sure. But that's not the case. Be kind to yourself as you catch your mind racing. It's fight or flight biologically but that doesn't mean something bad will happen.

Lissette · 18/02/2017 18:00

How are you feeling now Orchid? Thank you for keeping me company too. Have a virtual tea Brew. Might just have a small cuppa if I'm careful of the milk!

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 18:17

😀 lissette I don't drink tea or coffee ( don't like taste!). But I'm having Fanta and water ( not in same mug!). Trying to breathe. Xx

Lissette · 18/02/2017 18:23

I love Lemon Fanta. Not sure if you can still buy it. X

Lissette · 18/02/2017 18:25

Don't know why PlayStation created a link in my post to Amazon - it just happened.

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 18:26

I've got orange 🍊 x lemon reminds me of holidays when I was well- I'll get there xxx eventually x

Lissette · 18/02/2017 18:27

Arggh - it happened again. Why are links just forming? I'm not intending to advertise anything.

Lissette · 18/02/2017 18:29

You will get there Orchid. I remember a time when I was less stressed too. Xx

Orchidflower1 · 18/02/2017 19:16

Thanks Lissette- bet if you wanted a link it would not work!

CocoaX · 18/02/2017 20:07

How are you doing Orchid? A while ago, I think you said you had the headspace app? DS needing settled, will return Flowers
