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.

Lissette, so glad you're ok.

Lissette · 07/09/2017 10:39

Thanks MHD, that's very kind of you. I'm glad you are home.

BlackeyedSusan · 07/09/2017 14:50

BlackeyedSusan · 08/09/2017 12:40

got a fantastic parking space, was in and out within the hour. (cheaper) poor so and sos were queuing to get into the car park when we came out. dd has a bigger splint so less velcro scratching her arm, and also given proper tubigrips instead of a sock with the toes cut off

Strawberrybubblebath · 08/09/2017 23:17

Without wishing to out myself too much I would be really grateful if someone could pray for my children who have just started secondary school and are having a hard time. In particular with finding friends. I haven't got anyone else I can ask and I am already praying pretty much every waking moment myself.
Thank you from a lurker x

Dutchoma · 09/09/2017 06:49

Welcome Strawberrybubblebath. Lurkers are always welcome on this thread and we will gladly pray with you. Are they twins? Girls or boys? Share if you like, no problem if you can't. God knows all your needs.

OP posts:
Bloomed · 10/09/2017 14:38

Adding my prayers for the concerns here. The coming week will be decisive for me on a number of fronts. Big stuff around work money and health. Lots of lessons around survival for me it seems Brew

BlackeyedSusan · 10/09/2017 14:49

Oh poor you. Hope you manage to get through it alright.

Bloomed · 10/09/2017 15:01

It's so strange how things come in clusters. Hope you have a good week.

ErniesGirl · 10/09/2017 21:38

Hi I hope you don't mind me delurking to ask for a prayer.
My dear dad passed away last week and we are all struggling. Please pray for mum, help her to find peace and not be too sad.
Dad would hate to see us so upset.

Lissette · 10/09/2017 22:32

Bloomed and erniesgirl - praying for you both. How very sad about your Dad ErniesGirl. Hoping you and your poor Mum find peace at such a hard time.

BlackeyedSusan · 11/09/2017 07:22

good morning, and good luck to all those who fell like Monday morning is like riding to the top of the rollercoaster... just reaching the top now...

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dutchoma · 11/09/2017 07:24

Welcome Erniesgirl. I pray that you and your mother will be close in this very sad time.
I would add a prayer for Dontbesilly who also struggled terribly with the death of her father. She is having trouble getting on to MN and has been obliged to 'lurk' for a while.

OP posts:
Dutchoma · 11/09/2017 07:25

And prayers for BES. Are you at the bottom yet?

OP posts:
ErniesGirl · 11/09/2017 09:05

Thank you. Dad was a wonderful, loving, clever and kind man. He and mum were together for 57 years and I was extremely lucky to have him as my dad for 51 years.
He wasn't afraid to die but was very afraid of leaving mum.
He had lots of health problems in the last few years and finally succomed to pneumonia caused by lung cancer. I know he's no longer suffering but I miss him so much. I saw him every day.

Madhairday · 11/09/2017 09:07

I'm so sorry about your dad, erniesgirl. He sounded lovely. Flowers praying for you and your mum.

Prayers for you this week, bloomed.

I'm starting to get stronger and might even get out of the house this week! Yay!

Dutchoma · 11/09/2017 09:51

Oh Erniesgirl, so hard for you and your mum. Any siblings?

Hope you manage to get 'out of the house' somewhere nice MHD

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 11/09/2017 10:36

do hope you get out sometime this week MHD.

Flowers Ernie

must check that ds is doing afterschool club tonight. can't remember the start date.

ErniesGirl · 11/09/2017 13:33

Dutch I have a brother who lives 4 hours away by car. He has been with us but has now gone back until the funeral. I didn't realise there was so much to sort out. Luckily mum lives close to me.

Madhairday · 12/09/2017 14:28

I got out, but came home after half an hour as started to feel very poorly. Grrrrrr! It's taking so long.

BlackeyedSusan · 12/09/2017 14:45

so sorry mhd...

just at the top of another loop of the rollercoaster.... school run here we come...

BlackeyedSusan · 14/09/2017 07:02

dd is struggling with organisation at school. please pray that she gets support. and her coat and other stuff back she has lost. It is going to be very expensive if not.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 19/09/2017 16:31

Blush me again...the one who only appears when she needs something

First of all, thank you for all your prayers last year for my best friends baby when her blood tests in pregnancy detected an abnormality...that gorgeous (and perfectly healthy) boy will be one next month if you can believe it!

My dad is having a pacemaker fitted next month...and I know it's not a serious op (that's what everyone tells me) but god, I'm freaking out and so so scared.
I guess I'm asking for a prayer that he'll get through with no complications and will resume a really good way of living once he's had it

Thank you all and I totally understand if you're annoyed with me! Blush
