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.

FaithLoveandHope - for her anxiety and depression to lift and for her to be able to avoid falling into despair and self-harm, and for her relationship with her DSD.

girlandboy- family and faith

Lissette-anxiety and thanks for lots of prayers for others on this thread.

Orchidflower1- for help with her anxiety and the relationship with her husband

PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her dgs who was born early and poorly, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

Prayers bes that DD is okay and you get some rest today.

BlackeyedSusan · 12/06/2017 16:08

we are going to attempt the library. it could go disasterously wrong as ds is on a hair trigger.

dd is going to do homework.

BlackeyedSusan · 12/06/2017 20:04

library was ok. ds logged off the computer early and I have lost him in a library book.

can someone post some tea through the screen?

CocoaLeaves · 12/06/2017 20:06
Brew
BlackeyedSusan · 12/06/2017 20:06

finally made it to sleep at 4.30 am then awake at 7.45 to give another dose and ring the GP then back to bed. for another hour or two.

CocoaLeaves · 12/06/2017 20:06

Have some Cake too.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/06/2017 14:09

long, long afternoon/evening at school. eek

Lissette · 13/06/2017 22:28

Hope your dd is okay Bes. Thinking of everyone on this thread, especially cocoa and don't and all exam takers.

Ds has an allergy and we've been struggling to deal with it. Much cleaning around the house and washing to cope with it. He's coughing much less now. It's not serious but is chronic. I haven't had much time on Mumsnet as a result.

CocoaLeaves · 14/06/2017 06:34

I am praying for all those who were trapped in the tower block in London; it seems impossible that there were not multiple fatalities. I am praying for the emergency services and for the hospital staff. I am praying for those injured and for those who lost loved ones. I am praying this was not deliberate fire-setting. I am praying there is some respite from horror.

Madhairday · 14/06/2017 17:47

Joining in with your prayer, Cocoa Sad

Lissette · 14/06/2017 22:34

Can't seem to post on my phone at the moment.

Joining everyone with prayers for those affected by the fire. The footage is shocking.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/06/2017 07:35

dd is off on a school trip today. I am feeling abit nervous about it for various reasons, one being that dd is not safety aware.

DancingUnicorn · 16/06/2017 08:18

Praying that those around her are extra vigilant today bes.

I'm praying today that I am able to put all my faith in God, rather than in earthly matters, and let myself be guided by his will.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/06/2017 10:54

I am really agitated today. want to go home and flap. on mumsnet calming down.

CocoaLeaves · 16/06/2017 21:05

bes I hope your DD has returned safely and enjoyed her day and things are a bit calmer with you. Prayers for some peace for you and your family Flowers

DancingUnicorn prayers for steadfast faith and for ability to be guided by God's love for you. He lays out your path, even if it is not always clear. And even if the path is clear, sometimes life is such that we can simply sit at the side of it and recover before the next steps.

I have been reflecting on Matthew 5:43-48 which was today's reading on the Northumbria Community website. That God makes his sun rise on evil as well as good, and rain on righteous as well as unrighteousness. We all inhabit the same earth, there is surely more that we share than divides us. I am not sure where my musings take me. I need to read more.

Lisette how are DS's allergies?

Prayers for all in need Flowers

BlackeyedSusan · 17/06/2017 00:16

ddhome safely, though rather sensitive to progesterone.

ds has finally fallen asleep so I am off to bed.

guinnessgirl · 17/06/2017 00:45

Hello all. Sorry I've not been around for a while. My lovely friend is recovering fantastically from her heart surgery - physically. Healing beautifully and she's so much stronger and healthier already. She's going to be unstoppable in another six months! She has struggled mentally, though, with long-term PTSD that was already there and was triggered badly by some aspects of surgery. She's been dangerously paranoid and depressed in recent months. Thank God she's being looked after by cardio psych and GP but it was touch and go whether she'd manage to keep going for a while. Continued prayers much appreciated.

Praying through the recent posts now. I'm sorry things have been so hard recently, Bes.

BlackeyedSusan · 17/06/2017 11:03

things are not lovely and happy families.

someone is practising being an obnoxious teen. several years too early

Madhairday · 17/06/2017 14:15

Oh bes... Sorry Sad hope you find some calm in it all.

BlackeyedSusan · 19/06/2017 07:27

morning. it is really hot here. gets up to about 30 in the flat. it did not cool off overnight.

DancingUnicorn · 19/06/2017 07:40

Praying for our capital once again after the news of the mosque attack.

And yes, it is incredibly hot.

CocoaLeaves · 19/06/2017 09:26

Praying here too; it seems a callous, cowardly and cruel attack on people returning from worship. Religious freedoms are a fundamental human right.

Lissette · 19/06/2017 13:30

Terrible attack at the Finsbury Mosque.

Praying to for guinessgirl's friend.

Thank you Cocoa. We've finally realised that he has hayfever too. He's never had it before but the poor love is hacking away with his cough. GP has prescribed meds that will kick in fully over the next few days. I had his window opened fully to air the room because of the dust mites but that was letting pollen in. Anyway we know now. Hope your legal journey is going well.

All my best to you all on here. Waves to Dutchoma

Madhairday · 19/06/2017 20:25

Yes, horrible, sickening attack. Sad I just don't get it Sad

Ouch BES that is hot in your flat. Have you got a fan? Hope ds was calmer today.

Totally overheated here too. Just had a cool shower but now boiling again.
