MN Christian Prayer Request thread - half way through August

[DutchOma]

First of all we want to give thanks for Peter's new heart and keep praying for Misdee (LadyVictoriaOfCake), the three girls and the extended family. Pray for continuing healing and a full recovery.

In tension with that we pray for Onlyjoking and Steve and their three children, together with Steve's mother and his (twin) brother. Let us commit them in prayer to the God of miracles and of blessing. Pray that they will find help in the most unexpected places and that the 'peace of God which passes all understanding' will fill their heart.

Prayers for CaptainCaveman in a difficult situation with dsis in hospital. Praying for grace to cope from day to day with issues that are longstanding and unresolved. Prayer for restful nights and an deliverance from panic attacks.

[CaptainDippy]

Loppy, like a little bunny! I am sure you know I meant loopy!! xx

[CaptainCaveman]

Hiya! Feeling much better in Caveman world today, phew .

Sooz has indeed made the sun shine in NOttingham, its lovely and too nice to be at work.

Praying for you Rosey that the Crohn's quickly eases up again.

Glad your ds is ok again Harrisey, praying its just a one off.

Now, my house is a tip and I've got washing in the machine thats been there since Monday night. Lovely. Thats tomorrows job then!

[harrisey]

Just heard at the school gate this lunchtime that a little boy who should be in ds's class has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in the brainstem . Could we pray for him (C) and his family - according to dh, its likely to be a matter of months for them.

Jut feel so petty worying about dh not liking school, when this little boy probably wont get the chance to go at all

[CaptainDippy]

Hi CC! Absolutely yukky weather on the "Sunny Southcoast" ... bum ......

[CaptainDippy]

Weather suddenly pales into insignificance - Oh, harrisey that is so Praying for them. To loose a child ....

[Roseylea]

Yes, so - I am praying for that family.

Well you lot have obviously been praying for me because today has gone really well! The dc at work were really good (dd even helped me with my work, bless her! And was genuinely useful!) Also I feel that God has given me a strategy to deal with this 'orrible Crohns attack - I'm starting a diet I've done in the past which can make a real difference. It involves eating v. simply and nothing likely to aggravate the digestive tract - so no wheat, dairy, meat, alcohol, sugar, an absolute minimum of procesed foods (ie rice crispies are allowed but not much else) - so loads of rice, potatoes and soya milk for me! (and peppermint tea!)

I'm going to do this for 2 weeks so I may need a bit of cheerleading from you lot if that's okay! From experience I can say that you feel all pumped up and virtuous to start with, then as time goes on you start hankering after a bar of choc and glass of wine and that's when it gets hard...It's v. v. healthy tho, as you can imagine, so hopefuly I'll be bursting with energy in no time!

Lots of love to all xxx

[harrisey]

[go rosey emoticon] Cheering lustily from the sidelines!!!

Hope you are feeling better soon. Tough diet!

[notsofarnow]

dd 2 13yr is cooking tea with me giving her instructions from the sofa. he he lets see what happens.

It is only mash, peas, carrots, chick escalopes opps just asked whether she's done peas and answer is nope.

Praying for evedrything else - opps can smell burning

[DutchOma]

Praying for your little friend Harrisey. Is it me or are there more brain tumours about these days? The husband of a friend of dd died the day he was finally supposed to have a scan and then there is OJ's husband Steve. It's scary

[CaptainDippy]

Glad all's been good today for you hon!

I have a very tired, fractous little girlie on my lap. Think it's the imms.....

LOL @ your DD & her "cooking" nsfn! How's the "dating" going!!?

[harrisey]

nsfn - hey, a child who can cook! I'm impressed (my dd1 can make chocolate krispie cakes!).

I am a lady of lee-a-sure this evening. My (marvellous wonderful) nanny has taken the kids to the pictures!!! It is a special treat from HER to them to celebrate starting school/nursery and I have a sneaky suspicion that she really wanted to see the film too as it is 'Surf's Up' and she is a mad surfer.

So I am having a very very lazy day but I do have the house all tidy and lunch made for tomoroow and swimming lesons booked etc .. has been a productive day!

[notsofarnow]

hmmm the dating - still not got a pic of him yet but he's given me his mob no today with lots of kisses at end of email.

Don't think it gonna easy he doesn't drive why is there always obstacles. Ah well whats meant to be will be.

dinner now eaten not a bad attempt bless her - the kitcen is like a bomb site mind you.

[CaptainCaveman]

Harrisey thats so sad, will pray for C and family . May God provide them with the miracle they need.

Go Rosey Go....good luck in sticking to the plan!

Dh and I are off to the pub this evening, ds going to dsis. Yippee! I've been very good in not drinking lately, mind you its been worth it for the sanity!
Hey, other panic & anxiety sufferers, i just got a new cd today re. panic & anxiety and how to beat it. If its any good, do you want me to send you a copy? xxx

[onlyjoking9329]

thanks for your prayers and good wishes.
i have my new PC today but of course i have lost all my email addresses.
Steve wanted to go out today so we took DS to crich tramway place. Steve was in a lot of pain at times but he is glad that he went.
I have booked a night away for us on wednesday which will hopefully give steve a boost before he starts his treatment.
thanks again.

[CaptainDippy]

Glad the meal was edible at least, nsfn! Let us know how it goes with this "mystery man"!!?

Did the children enjoy the cinema, harrisey? Hope you enjoyed your time to yourself ....

Great to "see" you OJ - Glad you enjoyed time out as a family today, Steve is so brave - Gosh, that sounds so rubbish and cliched, I am sorry - We are all thinking about you and praying for you here, sweetie - Hope you enjoy the precious time away on Wed night, a very good idea!

Mary has texted me, she is thinking of everyone and praying - was sat on the beach in the sun enjoying a choc chip cookie ice-cream .... .... .....

[notsofarnow]

hmmm i think this mystery man is going to be a slow slow ordeal. He's never online when I am, he doesn't drive, and i've text him twice today for the first time after he gave me his no and there's no reply and yet there were loads of emails of him looking for me for last two days as I not been around.

oj praying for you all sweetie - you are so brave, mind you put in situations we never dreamt we would be in you just muster inner strength from places you never knew existed.

[CaptainDippy]

Just chill & give it time, nsfn!

[notsofarnow]

Good night, gosh its nearly midnight, GO TO BED (can't twins STILL awake) please god help them relax, me thinks Medised on the cards well I have to try something or I will be stuck on the landing on this computer driving you all nuts ALL NIGHT!

[harrisey]

oj thanks for popping in to let us know how things are.
Hope and pray you and steve have a good night away together.

Is there anything that we can do to help you out (I know we are praying, I was thinking is there anything practical we can help with - though I'm in Glasgow I know thats not much help!).

I went to bed early lst night and now I am awake at 5AM!

[harrisey]

ds is crying and shouting about not going to school again this morning. Its doing my head in. Aaaargh!

[DutchOma]

Harrisey, Is there anybody who can get out of him why?

[CaptainDippy]

Did the twins settle ok last night, Sooz hon?? Hope they slept in this morning for you instead!

Praying for you & your DS harrisey. xx

Selfish prayer request here ..... It's our 5th Wedding Anniversary today (); but I have been up being sick (sorry emetophobes!) and feel fairly dreadful .... We're supposed to be spending the PM together WITHOUT the children! I just don't think I'm going to be well enough for anything. Bum. Please pray for quick healing .......

[Xavielli]

Hey peeps!
God is good! Feeling really postive today. A night in with the girls really does wonders! And after weeks of (admittedly half-hearted) trying to get DS to pee in the potty he did!! Hoorah! lol

Praying for the poor little guy with the tumor Very sad.
