NIGHT PRAYER

Comfort me with Your love O God
Wrap me up in Your strong embrace
Shelter me from the storm O Lord
Envelop me in Your tender care
By day I pour out my heartbreak to You
By night I give you my racing thoughts
In You I take refuge
In You I will not be afraid
For you hold me strong, You hold me safe
Calm my fearful heart O God
Still my anxious mind O Lord
For all my life is found in You
All my being is given to You
All my hope begins in You

Prayer found on web.dawesvillecps.wa.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17th-September.pdf

I found this prayer on Facebook and tought it was a beautiful way to start the new prayer thread.

There was a beautiful picture with it too, but I don’t know how to transfer that.

Happy Easter all! ✝️

Easter prayers for all those in need of them at this time (and all those with coughs!).

Lisette1940 · 21/04/2019 12:31

Happy Easter to all. It is much too hot where I live today. Got some gardening done but have taken shelter now.

Prayers for everyone affected in Sri Lanka.x

I read this thread from time to time and just want to say I hope you are feeling better MadHairDay.
I follow your excellent posts on the Religion thread and you offer very thoughtful and insightful points. Well done for persevering, especially against a few of the atheists on there who are extremely hardened and cynical. Please know that there are lots of believers like myself behind you !
I hope you had a blessed and peaceful Easter.

I am not at mother's. Tweaked back whilst extracting bags from under the stairs. Hoping ibuprofen and rest will reset it for tomorrow.

Madhairday · 24/04/2019 22:47

Oh @Meadowland thank you so much for your encouragement. It really does mean so much. Those threads can feel pretty lonely places at times! But I do enjoy them and enjoy my faith being challenged - I really welcome that because I think it is good to question, and the more I question the more I'm convinced of it all. It can get tough though! Thank you Flowers

I'm really quite poorly still. Had x-ray today and waiting for results from that. Struggling to breathe.

Becca I've been thinking of you. Are you okay?

Bes, how are you?

Sending love to Oma and everyone else around Flowers

BlackeyedGruesome · 25/04/2019 09:31

Bit sore MHD and moving tentatively. Prayers for recovery for you.

Becca19962014 · 25/04/2019 10:10

Things are still the same. I don't know why I thought they'd be any different after the anniversary. If anything they've got worse. Have GP today, saw a social worker yesterday who was dismissive not expecting anything.

BlackeyedGruesome · 27/04/2019 02:00

Arse. I think my mum's house has got mice. No idea how to sort it out as we are not here long.

BlackeyedGruesome · 27/04/2019 02:12

And I think I found a dropping on my pillow. Yuk.

Needless to say I am having trouble sleeping.

Oh BES that is awful. Who has the keys to the house when you are not there? Woukd they set some traps for you (and deal with the catch). Or let a mouse exterminator in? It’s so difficult being so far away. How i your mum?

Please pray for my mum Joan gray that the steroids will relieve swelling on her brain and allow her to walk so she can come and die in peace. Thank you

Donhill · 27/04/2019 21:15

Praying for you and for your mum. That the swelling is relieved. For peace and love for you both.

So sorry Joan. Prayers for peace and comfort and strength.

How are those pesky lungs?

I told my mum about might be having mice and she will talk to the key holder. I will try and get the cleaner's number too. One of the potential black dots was a v small beetle. Some were off ex's washbag which is disintegrating, but others are very mouse poo like although no other signs so I could be mistaken. Will ask them to keep an eye out incase.

We were very late back home tonight. But all tucked up in bed. Apparently there was loud music in a flat downstairs. Another neighbour had just knocked really loudly, just as I was passing the front door. Jumped out my skin.

BlackeyedGruesome · 02/05/2019 08:03

I am not sleeping and am absolutely shattered. so not getting things done and going to bed late and not sleeping.

MHD still praying for peace and better lungs.

Meadowland · 03/05/2019 07:44

@MadHairDay. I hope you are feeling better.

Madhairday · 03/05/2019 12:49

Hello, thank you so much for your prayers. I am indeed starting to get better, antibiotics finally doing the work after 20 days on them!! Very tired and weak, but there's light on the horizon now.

Love to all of you. How is your day going today?

Becca, thinking of you Flowers

Becca19962014 · 03/05/2019 17:17

Thank you. Had a tough appointment today, mostly crying. They suggested getting a support worker to take me to get coffee once a week so I wouldn't feel so alone and bored and hopeless.

They didn't understand at all that I've no functioning for coffee, never mind nothing to say as I don't do anything AND most importantly the reason I feel so alone is my faith issues and a support worker just isn't going to help with that.

I do try and pray, just finding it difficult. I walked back talking to God and crying (I got a lot of wierd stares!). I've been sent a present from someone I knew from church, a gift set I've no idea what to do with (they now live abroad no way of contacting except post which will take months and it was a gift to them). I'll make a thread about that.

It's very hard.

I appreciate your prayers very much!

BlackeyedGruesome · 10/05/2019 08:12

stressful week coming, two meetings and sats.

Becca19962014 · 10/05/2019 10:09

Prayers it'll all go smoothly bes

Becca19962014 · 12/05/2019 19:25

Just had a really bad panic attack. Lasted for ages. Now struggling with after effects. Please pray, not had one as bad as this for a very long time.

BlackeyedGruesome · 12/05/2019 20:27

Thanks.
