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

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.

I do remember, Larry and you and your son will most certainly be in my prayers, now and on Wednesday. i cannot imagine how difficult this must be for you all

How frustrating for you and waiting is hard. Here I was feeling disgruntled as DD has had an appointment cancelled for the second time but nowhere near urgent like yours. I pray that your appointment will not be cancelled again.

BlackeyedGruesome · 05/06/2019 07:29

ds is going on a school trip and I have got the wobbles again.

Larry, hope all goes well today.

Lisette1940 · 05/06/2019 09:10

larry5 will pray today for good results.

BlackeyedGruesome · 05/06/2019 16:06

prayers for pesky lungs and their owner too. hope you are finally feeling a bit better MHD, and being able to enjoy life a bit.

larry5 · 06/06/2019 13:50

Ds had his biopsy yesterday and his lungs and chest are still very store. I am so grateful to a friend from his church (it was our church before we moved away) went to collect him from the hospital and after finding out that he couldn't be at home alone that night, ds wasn't told about this until he arrived at the hospital, had him to stay for the night at the last minute.

All the people who he has seen have been very good but there seems to be a lack of communication!

Ds is seeing the renal consultant next week when, hopefully, the results of the biopsy should have arrived and he may then find out when the op is likely to take place

Sorry for not being around very much.

Had a hard day today. Fell this evening. Not badly injured thankfully.

Lot of crying today.

I've not read for awhile but I am praying for all of you!

BlackeyedGruesome · 06/06/2019 22:03

praise God for ds's friend, larry.

Becca, glad you were not badly hurt, though it shakes you up. and can be embarressing when in the middle of a junction in town

Oma, hope you are well.

been shifting furniture round in ds's room. my body wil know about it tomorrow and the rest of the world as I am the worlds worst whinger

I have now got access to more woodchip to strip, old paint to scrape off where it is not attached very well to the plaster and then fill and sand. (ad infinitum)

Becca19962014 · 06/06/2019 22:34

Today wasn't when out but at home.
My depression is that bad I literally lay there and said sod it and got up. No shock, no nothing, just routine check.

I suspect I'll feel it tomorrow as well!

Madhairday · 12/06/2019 07:49

Apologies for quietness of late. Just reading back through and holding you all in prayer.

I've felt pretty good (for me) lately, had a little.more energy. Not so good in last couple of days. Appreciating anything I get!

Larry, so good to hear about that helpful friend of ds. Sorry to hear of all he is going through and you too. Must be incredibly difficult and worrying.

I have one DC almost finishing her A Levels and one in GCSE mocks, so all a bit frazzled. Will be so glad when they're over.

How are you, Oma? And BES?

Becca, praying today is a good one.

Becca19962014 · 12/06/2019 10:33

Thankyou.

Masie24 · 22/06/2019 01:51

Quick catch up and thinking of you all. Larry, I hope that your dear DS has hopeful news soon.

I don't know where to turn. Months ago, I posted here about DS who was missing from a psychiatric hospital. Been a regular occurrence. Now missing again, this time from rehab and as he is no longer under a Section, not a priority. A few hours ago we were told that if he's not back by Friday (yesterday), he'll have voluntarily discharged himself. He's taken everything with him but no idea where he's gone to. Have posted on MH but wanted to come here, too. Pray, please, that he will be found, that God is keeping him safe, that the Rehab Unit will have a change of heart.

I am beside myself. He's very vulnerable, meds run out soon. History of addiction, suicide attempts, homelessness and very strained relationships with younger siblings. I'm working on all fronts. Family reconciliation, helping DS to heal, finding him accommodation (and is that difficult) and now this. Nurse at Rehab Unit today, giving us the news, could not have been more distant and cold.

I know I won't sleep though I'm exhausted. God must know where DS is, what the implications are of his not coming back to the Unit.

I don't know what to do. Please hold DS is your prayers. Thank you.

Oh dear Masie, that is so hard. Hold on to the fact that God does know where he is and that He will never let him go. God can do that, we cannot.
i am praying for your peace and his.

Masie24 · 22/06/2019 14:35

Thank you for prayers, Dutch Oma. Much appreciated.

Off to the Rehab Unit now with questions. No direct word from them and nothing yet from the Police. Feel stranded. Seems that the MH service here has washed its hands of DS. Lots of rhetoric about working with carers but the reality in these parts is very different. Not knowing (again) where he is is driving me to distraction.

I hope that everyone here is having a good day in spite of all the challenges that our lives present.

Becca19962014 · 22/06/2019 19:38

masie I'm so sorry to hear this. Remembering him and you in my prayers.

BlackeyedGruesome · 24/06/2019 16:50

Maisie, so sorry to hear this. I hope he is found soon.

Got a very busy week here. Then ds away with school later. Eek. DD is off to Drayton Manor hoping she is ok and the have fixed the ride where there was an accident.

Becca19962014 · 26/06/2019 13:15

Awful day today. Really struggling to cope.

Made the mistake of going to do something I always find stressful and upsetting and swore. Once. Got thrown out and told they'd be telling the police I'd been abusive. These people regularly hurl abuse at me in the street. I said I was frightened and scared and why I'm so scared and their response was there's no excuse, it's offensive to customers. But because of their "mental illness" it's ok for them to be abusive and threaten me and I don't understand. I try to forgive but I can't. I can't stop thinking it's so unfair that they're allowed to behave in that way to me and I swear once and they're threatening me with the police.

So I'm feeling really up against things. The weather here it hot and badly effecting my conditions and I'm terrified and so permently on the verge of tears/breaking down. I ended up walking back sobbing. At least everyone got out of my way.

Please pray for me. I just want some peace. To get food/meds without being abused. Just a bit.

Becca19962014 · 26/06/2019 13:20

masie I pray your son is doing ok.

Thankyou for understanding and praying oma

BlackeyedGruesome · 26/06/2019 15:07

important meeting later, please pray, will catch up later.

hope today improves becca

Madhairday · 30/06/2019 15:49

How was your meeting, BES?

So sorry to hear you've been up against it, Becca. It has been too hot lately. How are you today? Praying you're able to find some peace.

Masie, any news?

Oma, how are you lovely?

All is good here, my health has been pretty good for about 6 weeks now! Amazing!!❤️

Becca19962014 · 30/06/2019 16:15

Been unwell with heat and it's suddenly got hot here again today Sad

Feeling Sad as places which were safe for me are now being sold and things that have been given to people as gifts (which I spent hours making for them) are appearing on eBay/Facebook. Kits which helped with my mh at the time and j know they were gifts but it's really hurting me that my family/friends are selling them on. Silly really. Never had any kind of security with my parents and those I did are now gone. I guess because I'm already feeling low it hurts even more.

Becca19962014 · 02/07/2019 21:36

Id appreciate prayers for a current situation. I've a nasty boil/abscess and my GP wants me to go to hospital to get it sorted if it's not gone in a couple of days. I'm terrified of hospitals. They've given me antibiotics to take so it might not be necessary, please pray it isn't! I can't have local anesthetic due to the Ehlers danlos and because of the location can't have any dressings applied.
