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

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

And, as always, prayers for anyone I've forgotten (with apologies), for all who lurk but don't post, and for newbies who may not have posted yet.

it was lovely in the car, and lovely in the library though I was cold...

I am back to being too hot though. it was cloudier than predicted so better than it could have been, though the thermometer in on the building near here was saying 30 and the car thermometer went up to 31.

it is definitely too hot to be dealing with autistic boys. and finding out that someone has not passed on his iep again. grrrrrr.

I have a migraine; awful dizziness preceded it today. Not keeping on top of anything.

I am praying that God holds all in need in His heart and keeps us safe. I pray for peace on the streets tonight and people to act in good faith to one another. For myself, I pray to keep letting God's love shape what I do and say. I pray to be able to keep walking this path, even though I have stopped to rest.

I will pray my way through the opening post. May God be with you all

how are you feeling today cocoa?

Hope you're feeling better today Cocoa

Praying for a better day for you BES.

This weather is making me very breathless. Going out this morning so bit worried about being outside for a while. Sooooo hot. Worse for dd who is still doing GCSEs - she'll be finished on Friday

thanks. feeling a bit flat. I think it is tiredness and a weird nightmare and the heat and waiting for ex to be paid so I can do the car tax and mot, which those who have been on here a while know always send me into a bit of a flap. I need a slap round the face with a wet fish/kick up the rear.

self administering free coffee and Pachelbel in the library. and air conditioning.

how are the lungs? hoping you can breathe better and get some cooling air. praying now for a lovely area of breathable air for you.

I dreamt about my mother and toads. She was sitting on the grass and they were popping up all round her.
There is a bit of a breeze here today which is very nice.

mine was definitely weirder. upsettingly weirder. it is the hot weather and disturbed sleep, being logical, hope you are benefitting from the cool breezes.

I am sitting with my fleece on under the air conditioning unit in the library and I am gloriously cold. I have been reading through some of the NT on the computer and listening to pachelbel's cannon in d on repeat. so feeling a bit more able to cope with being awake.

I have to ring dd's secondary school later and sort out paperwork so feeling a little stressed as these are my nemeses( can you have plural?)

I would appreciate your prayers. Yesterday I was overjoyed to get a positive pregnancy test. However, I have been suffering from light bleeding most of the past two days. I am not coping well with not knowing whether or not this pregnancy will work out. And I am not coping well with the idea of having another miscarriage, even though this is obviously incredibly early.

that is hard, DU. I lost a baby before bleadding on and off throughout another pregnancy. (I will attenpt to take him to the library later and he is in an afterschool performance so that will be erm tricky) I hope this pregnancy sticks.

prayer for aforesaid small boy and school preformance, and my patience please.

Prayers for you Dancing.

And for you two Bes

Praying for you dancing

Bit cooler today, phew. Dd has her last gcse tomorrow - yay.

that will be a relief MHD

Oh DancingUnicorn this must be an anxious time for you; many sticky vibes and prayers for you.

MHD I was meaning to ask how the new medication is helping, prayers for comfort and healing for you.

bes how was the performance?

Prayers all around still very tired here.

How are you DancingUnicorn?

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I am feeling calmer. Things seem a little better than before, but I know it is a long journey ahead!

Cocoa prayers you can get some rest, in mind and body and spirit. May God hold you gently and refresh your soul.

Prayers for peace for everybody.

Lovely Oma, how are you?

I have been struggling with no energy at all in the heat, but feel better now it is cooler. I am going to a 'Come and Sing' day tomorrow under the direction of David Hill, the director of the BBC singers. That should be excellent.

Oh that will be wonderful!! Have a fabulous time!

I have been eying my hot point only half working fridge freezer with suspicion after the news of the cause of the fire in Grenfell, only to have my panasonic microwave over heat behind me. Thank God I felt it before it got any hotter as it was very hot. we had cold baked beans but at least the potatoes were cooked.

Oh bes that was lucky (short term) but unlucky long term. My fridge also needs replacing.

Oma I hope you have a lovely day today

I am joining with the weird dreams, in the midst of which was a letter which said the Lord was watching over me.

Very apt cocoa.

Hopefully all your kitchen appliances behave themselves today BES!

I know Dancing, I was willing my asleep brain to stay there while I read it. I keep praying. Another part of the dream I was with STBXH (!) and I did not have my glasses, so could not properly see. That was how it was for a long time. But then I wonder what I am still not seeing. I am praying for God's guidance.

I am praying for you too Dancing, every day you have, your little bean grows stronger.

just got the very old toaster and ex's magimix that are behaving.

cooker, fridge freezer washing machine and microwave are poorly or terminal.

prayers for getting my arse into gear and clearing up the kitchen would be appreciated. there is cricket on longwave so that will help as I can not hear it in theliving room as that radio keeps clicking off longwave, usually at the point someone is out or getting a six, there fore I have to mooch round the rest of the flat where there is nowhere to sit and rest, so I have to keep working.

How was your concert oma?

Hope everybody had calm and peaceful days.

It was such a lovely event. We practised for a service of Reform and Renewal in the 500th year after the Reformation. So there were elements of Choral Evensong in it, but it did not follow that completely. We were supposed to sing a piece by Bairstow, but nobody knew or liked it, so we did Greater love has no man by John Ireland. The choir was divided 50/50 between children and adults with a strong male section which was wonderful. David Hill was a tireless conductor, really kind. All in all it was marvellous.

Oh I love that Ireland! It's gorgeous, we sang last week. I sing choral evensong fairly regularly when I drag myself up to my choir. It's an hour and a half away, so don't go every week. What Bairstow were you supposed to sing?
