Christian prayer thread for spring

[Dutchoma]

BES has no computer at the moment and has sent me a very comprehensive list of prayers partners.
Rather than put this is the middle of an ongoing thread I thought it would be better to start a new thread, so all the names stay at the top.

amberlight - for her work supporting people with autism, and for health and happiness for her and her family.

BlackEyedSusan - for all that she has to juggle as a single mum, for ds who has ASD, dd who might have ASD and dyspraxia (waiting for appointments) and for her mum. Also for the computer to be mended

Bloomed- New year, fresh start

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

Dontbesilly - for strength as she grieves the loss of her dad, for her DD's school issues, and for Dont's recovery from a car accident. For DH and his recovery from a heart attack and finding her phone!

drspouse - for happiness and a warm welcome in her new church and for dcs

DutchOma - with gratitude for all she does to support people on this thread and elsewhere.

EddSimcox - for her dd, for her relationship with DP and her parents and her growing faith.

Thanks BES and Lissette. Stabby pain much reduced, still there intermittently but not so intense. I'm now more tired out than anything. Need a rest to recover from all this rest...

MHD prayers for healing and recovery for you. Thank you for your prayers.

girl continued prayers for your DH; I hope you are bearing up okay.

Prayers for all in need

Lissette that is truly wonderful about your remission; prayers for it to continue much longer still

I would like to pray blessings on a colleague who has stepped into help me with some work as he realised I was overwhelmed given personal stuff, I thank God for such kindness.

Praying for you all.

Thank you all for your prayers for me and my children. I have felt a change and a comfort over the past few days.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Unfortunately the cancer was worse than they'd thought and they've had to take his thyroid out and lymph nodes which we knew would happen but unfortunately also one of his vocal cords which no-one was expecting.
His voice wasn't there at all when he came around from the anaesthetic, but now it's come back a little. I just feel sad that I'll never again hear his voice as it was this morning.

girlandboy

That is quite devastating girlandboy. There is very little comfort that anyone can hold out. I hope that you will sleep tonight, things will look brighter in the morning.

Oh girl. There are no words. Will be praying for you both. 💐

I'll redouble the praying efforts. That's not something I'd have anticipated either. It must have been an enormous shock girlandboy.

Morning everyone. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, it's a great comfort knowing that he is surrounded by this. My husband isn't religious, but I am and I know that the Lord has him under his care and love.
You're right, it's been a terrible shock. I had to stop twice on the way home from the hospital to have a sob (thank goodness for the Co-op carparks!) but I feel a little more levelled this morning.

Thank you once again x

You would not be human if you were not upset girlandboy it is a difficult situation. You and your DH remain in my prayers

Thanks for the update girlandboy. It is so good to hear that you are able to be grateful for small mercies (Co-op car parks ).
I pray that your husband in this time of need will take all the comfort that having a faith can bring. Don't be surprised to find that he is more 'religious' than you give him credit for. In fact you don't need to be 'religious' to find comfort in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

girlandboy

girlandboy

it will have come as a shock with no warning that it would happen.

lungs less stabby yet mhd? prayers

prayers that cocoa and girl sleep well.

Thank you bes Have been awake since half five, but this is an improvement on half two. I am very tired though. I need to exercise more and meditate to slow my heart rate I think. This is my favourite and most beautiful time of the year and I feel like it is slipping away without me noticing. The only thing I think it that if I had not taken this path, it would not have stopped.

girlandboy i hope that things are looking better this morning, though i am aware of sounding trite. I am praying for healing for your DH and peace of mind for you

mhd i also pray for healing for you and for dont and her DH.

orchid remains in my thoughts and prayers as do other posters who may not be posting at the moment. I was thinking of PA s little grandson. Prayers for all in need of God's love, support and guidance

Antigrinch I am sorry i wanted to say i am glad you are feeling some comfort - prayers for you and DC. I hope decisions made are fair and reasonable for you all

there is currently a pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs that has been kicked down the stairs. I have yet to look at the devastation on the landing/bathroom as I might not be able to remain calm as yet.

Bes one step at a time. Breathe. Prayers for calm for you and the family.

someone has fallen over the stuff at the bottom of the stairs. consequences.

someone has also been unable to help as theycould not get to the point where help was needed. helpee has had to clear the route for helper.

more consequences.

Everyone is probably more tired at the weekend too bes
I am adding some calming prayers.

we have done the sounding like he is being murdered... when I have tortured him with suncream, and when I did not get his slippers quickly enough last night , when dd has coughed...

sen meeting at school.

Me again. Long absent. Hope you are all well. Some good news and well and truly answered prayers from us.

Minor thing but DS is coping really well with suncream this summer - it was a huge issue last year and a cause of me leaving the SN chat thread.

We have moved house and are now much closer to the church that I like (15 mins walk even with the DCs). DH took them there on his own last Sunday to enable me to do some Guide clearing out of stuff. He wouldn't do that before. He's suggested we switch our old standing order to the previous church to be majority to the new church and minority to the old church. DS is also coping well with Sunday School and enjoys bringing home his little crafts.

drspouse that's lovely news. How lovely to have a new home and good to hear the church news too

Would you pray for a former colleague of mine, please? She has depression and has long struggled to remain employed. But then things really went downhill with her husband. They have got divorced, her health started to fail and now she is unemployed. I have not spoken with her directly but found out from others. I haven't any contact details to be a support to her so I'm opting for prayer. She's a kind, gentle soul and I'm devastated for her.
