Christian prayer thread for spring

999 replies

Dutchoma · 18/03/2017 21:03

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.

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.

Can they not communicate by email? Like we do?

OP posts:
Becca19962014 · 11/08/2017 09:12

No. It's not a secure way to communicate.

Becca19962014 · 11/08/2017 14:15

Got some help but had some really upsetting news. Turns out I was lied to about the person being in any way my worker - they're job was to push me onto other staff. I've spent ages trying to trust this person to be tricked.

So benefit call done though I don't expect to get it, but now I've got the worry of being discharged altogether as they've no idea at all what I'm going through.

BlackeyedSusan · 11/08/2017 20:56

🌧🌧🌧 drips into thread,leaves trail of wet sand.

Slightly damp out there. Two meltdowns when told no not visiting amusements and a new set of bruises. I was nearly used to plough a furrow in the sand as I hung on to boy attempting to stomp off. Ex managed to catch boy to allow me to right myself. A couple of biscuits helped calm things down. We did have a good time after that but there was a bit of a kerfuffle when Ds pulled his buried legs out of the sand minus his sandals which were 18" down. He was impressed at the speed of my digging to retrieve them. It would have been me dragging him (literally ) to the shops to buy new so v motivated to find them!

Becca19962014 · 14/08/2017 16:43

The only other Christian in my family has died and I'm devastated.

Dutchoma · 14/08/2017 16:53

That is very sad Becca, I'm so sorry for your loss.

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 15/08/2017 09:27

So sorry Becca (for the third time things are not posting).

We are off on a trip out today. It could be tricky. Vtricky. Ds is having a lot of meltdowns

BlackeyedSusan · 15/08/2017 10:58

My back has seized up. Waiting for ibuprofen to kick in. Knees nearly gave way earlier.

BlackeyedSusan · 15/08/2017 11:00

My back has seized up and my knees nearly gave way. So much for going out. Waiting for ibuprofen to kick in.

BlackeyedSusan · 15/08/2017 18:08

We did not go out on a trip but managed to go to the fair and a late lunch out. I hope it is better enough to go out tomorrow. Please pray as autistic boy did not take he news v well

Dutchoma · 16/08/2017 07:40

I have had a message from Cocoaleaves to say that she has de-registered from Mumsnet. She assures us we remain in her prayers as I am sure she will remain in ours.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/08/2017 11:07

Will miss cocoa.

In absolute agony with my back. Got to go to the GP an hour away.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/08/2017 11:08

Small autistic boy is really cross and screaming and shouting about it

Dutchoma · 16/08/2017 20:09

How did the appointment for your back go BES?

OP posts:
Becca19962014 · 17/08/2017 20:52

I'm sorry but need to make another request - I've lost the support of my GP. They won't help with benefits and social services have lied they're helping when not.

I managed church for twenty minutes yesterday, very upset, but stayed.

Thankyou.

I'm remembering all of you in prayer though I don't know what use prayers from someone like me are.

BES I hope you're in less pain now.

BlackeyedSusan · 17/08/2017 21:09

GP gave me cocodamol which makes me feel peculiar so back to paracetamol and ibuprofen. Taking a slightly higher dose of ibuprofen at prescription strength. I am moving for a little bit but every now and again I get pains that make me collapse at the knees. We did manage a trip to the mine though for the boy. Back not improved by knocking my head off the roof several times. Hard hats were provided.

Dutchoma · 18/08/2017 07:02

Co-codamol makes me feel peculiar as well BES, I had it when I broke my arm and didn't sleep all night, so I know wht you mean. I do hope it clears, such a shame when your holiday is stressful already.
Becca, I'm sorry that there is yet another difficulty on your path. Your prayers are precious to God as He sees the desire of your heart. Sometimes it feels as if all earthly comfort and help falls away and this is the time that you will hear God speak to you maybe in ways that you do not expect.

BlackeyedSusan · 19/08/2017 00:25

We are packing up. Still. We have to leave one car here and ex will come back for it next weekend by train. As I can not drive he may borrow my car for the week or day or two. We have an appointment for DD on Tues in the next town

Dutchoma · 19/08/2017 06:53

Oh BES what a pesky nuisance it all is. Praying that you will get home safely and all is in good order when you get there.

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 19/08/2017 08:09

I hope so. Two hours to get out and I can not walk properly. Also rained leaked through the ceiling into my suitcase of clean clothes so I am really annoyed.

BlackeyedSusan · 19/08/2017 08:30

In agony.less than two hours to go and more than two hours work to do. Trying hot pack.

Dutchoma · 19/08/2017 08:36

Good grief girl, how absolutely horrible for you, I hope the hot pack works.

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 20/08/2017 00:02

we are home. got to put the stuff in the fridge yet.

BlackeyedSusan · 21/08/2017 00:43

hotpack/waterbottle is the only way to get me moving at the moment. I have managed to cook a very late tea, which is an improvement. children are fed and watered. ex came and ds went out ot play in the shared garden. he can not go out when I am too unwell to walk down two flights of stairs to retrieve him in case of accidents.

Becca19962014 · 21/08/2017 00:55

Heat packs can be really really helpful. I use them a lot. Costs me a fortune, but I couldn't manage without them.

If not too late, can I ask you to pray for me tomorrow morning, I'm having a really difficult appointment? Thankyou.
