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.

MadHairDay - for her health, and those pesky lungs. For her friend.

Musicposy- CT scans, diagnosis and treatment, giving thanks that some progress with diagnosis has been made

Nickel- for church and her disability, and a friend moving on from DV

NoRoomForALittleOne - Giving thanks that he operation was successful. For freedom from pain and recovery.

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.

QoF - for her relationship with her DH.

sadandanxious- for help with anxiety

StillSmallVoice MIL has an invasive malignant melanoma for dd and historical abuse investigation.

Tunnocks - after the loss of her husband
Trazzletoes- for her young DS, Joe, who is having treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital- bereavement, losing her DH

TUO - who has had to withdraw from the thread for a while through business in real life.

Zombie clan- remembering Candy and MummyLin

And also thinking of friends who haven't visited for a while, or who pop in only occasionally, including: abbsismyhero, ALittleFaith, Anjelica27, Aphie, applesandpears33, Badders123 Bluetinkerbell, clementineorange, CoolCarrie, DancingUnicorn, FlappysMammyAndPopeInExile guinessgirl (how is your friend?)HardyLeodicean itshappenedagain, Kaykat, JugglingFromHereToThere, ktef, LarrytheCucumber legohurtswhenyoustandonit,LifeOfBriony,LittleBootsTheBabe, Mary, originalmavis, ozymandiusking Pandora97, pklme SESthebrave shortscotty,SingaSong12 SparkyStars Sugarpiehoneyeye The Woollyback'sWife Weegiemum, ZippidiSoozi and others.

Beautiful boy. Flowers

Cocoa I'm so pleased you're enjoying your time with the lovely Oma. I knew you would! She is awesome.

Praying for your dd, bes.

Keeping you and your mum in my prayers, Mablethorpe. Flowers

If anyone could chuck a spare prayer my way I'd love one. Suffering with pretty rubbish pleurisy. Saw my consultant yesterday and she said it's still very inflamed and infected so we're waiting on the result of a sample to see what to do next. In the meantime I have a rescue course of abs. Going to New Wine next week and so want to be better or at least well enough to cope. This year I'm taking a mobility scooter to get round as I'm too weak to do much walking and theres a lot of walking involved. I would love some strength.

I'm going to a play today with a bunch of friends and supposed to be doing cocktails and dinner after but think I'm going to have to bow out :( I'll go to the play though as I think I can manage that just.

DancingUnicorn · 15/07/2017 10:24

Praying mhd. It sounds horrible. I had it once, as a one off. That was bad enough. I really hope they are able to find something that will help.

Doublegloucester · 15/07/2017 12:01

Sorry to hear that mhd and prayers you are well enough to enjoy new wine.

EddSimcox · 15/07/2017 16:31

CocoaLeaves · 16/07/2017 09:21

Oh MHD I am so sorry to hear that things are going worse with your health. I will add my prayers for improvement and safe travels to New Wine. You are right to do what you can manage, your friends will understand. I do pray that you will recover Flowers

Prayers all around, may God keep everyone safe.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/07/2017 15:41

BlackeyedSusan · 17/07/2017 05:41

BlackeyedSusan · 17/07/2017 15:35

just about to get the boy from his trip. he will be shattered Ihope. too shattered to meltdown, hopefully not quite tired enough to make meltdowns more likely.

BlackeyedSusan · 17/07/2017 19:44

definitely shattered but I have been kicked and thumped. Also had to carry him and his bag up two flights of stairs and a tickle in the armpit to release the death grip on the railings.

BlackeyedSusan · 18/07/2017 07:56
