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.

[DutchOma]

What a bummer Worzella. Hope it clears soon and that you will have the help you need to get sufficient rest. If your body tells you to sleep...??

[Roseylea]

Hello all, and big hugs to Podglet.

Just a real quick one - I'm feeling really unwell. I was sent for chest X-rays yesterday so waiting to get the results of those. The dc are going out with FIL and MIL this afternoon so I just need to take it as easy as poss this morning then I can sleep all afternoon. Please pray! I am trying not to worry, (like Worz I am due to go back to work next week, and we have al sorts of childcare-juggling as our cm is away on family crisis business) and those words from Matthew are helping so much. I keep coming back to that one "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself".

Lots of love to everyone - sorry I've been a bit me-me-me Right - off to lie on the sofa...

[mufti]

[mufti]

and praying for your healing too worzella

[MarsLady]

Just me passing through again.

Here's my prayer request:

Husband in meetings all day. Have 2 clients on the boil. One called at 7 to say she's contracting every 15mins. Second baby. Other client due last week, no word yet (please oh please oh please no word today), also second baby.

Childcare seems to have vanished in smoke. Current babysitter meeting his girlfriend today (she lives out of town). Back up Doula, friend who would sit with the kids not about till this afternoon. Friend that would have them out till this afternoon. Teens in various countries on holiday can you believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what I need is for client that called today to wait till this afternoon and give birth by the end of this evening and other client not to need me till tomorrow. Or client that called: for it all to go off till the weekend and other client to give birth tomorrow.

Why do I do this to myself? I wasn't going to book them close together but I made a mistake with my diary and now I have 2 at the end of a peaceful, pretty much birth free, summer.

Ooh result! Husband just called. He's cancelled his meetings so will be able to come if I need him too.

Okay... so still need it to happen the way outlined above.

Ooh another call. Her contractions seem to have gone off. Now I think I might just keep typing cos it's getting better and better. But I need to go and do things. I can't just stay here typing hoping that the things I type come good.

Sigh.......................

(just poured all of that out on my regular thread but decided that I needed you ladies to pray.) Be good if you could pray that I finished my French assignment before I got the call as well........

Thank you!

[mufti]

i want to add mummy2tandf to our prayers, she has posted under bereavement, has suddenly lost her dh, and is in a state of shock by the sounds of it, not surprisingly.

[CaptainDippy]

LOL @ your splurge honey - Soooo glad DH can come if you need him too, result! He sounds like a wonderful man - my DH is like that too - fab, aren't they!!? Praying for you - that everything pieces together ok and that the births are wonderful and smooth! Great to "see" you!

Soooo glad DS is much better CC - LOL @ "forehead" and "backhead" ... bless him!

I am to hear about your gran, Podglet, but so glad the end was peaceful. Praying for you all as you comes to terms with your loss. {{{{hugs}}}}

Praying for your poor eye, Worz - esp as you're due to be going back to work, poor thing. {{{{hugs}}}

Oh Rosey - Make sure you get lots and lots and lots and lots of rest and TLC today swetheart - Make the most of your outlaws having the DC's. Praying for good news on the x-rays and for your healing, honey. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} to mufti - why so low sweetie? Praying.

Gosh - {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} and prayers all round, me thinks ....

Well, I've been to the train station, the play park and watched about four thousand episodes of Charlie & Lola already!! I was in the play park at 8am .... absolutely mental - felt strangely liberating though and was nice & quiet! Off to friends later and NCT meeting tonight, it never stops ........

[DutchOma]

This is the thread Mufti was talking about, what an awful thing to happen


here

Can you talk about what's bothering you Mufti? You have my email address if you'd rather?

[mufti]

thanks CD and DO, i dont think i do DO,its lots of things really. maybe just post holiday blues?

[CaptainDippy]

{{{{{hugs}}}}} again sweetie - I hate post-hol blues.

@ that thread- how awful. Praying for that poor mummy and her babies and their family.

[mufti]

something to thank HIM for - mr onlyjoking is well enough that mr and mrs onlyjoking are off on a hotel break together

[CaptainDippy]

That's great! Praise HIM!!

[DutchOma]

That's definitely answer to prayer.

[ZipadiSuzy]

Sorry just a flying visit through!

Prayers for you and your family Podglet, very sad, blessed that your gran died peacefully, and very comforting to open her eyes and take note of her family before she died.

Prayers also for Worzella and Roseylea for your health problems, hope you both get sorted out soon.

Lovely to hear from you Marslady, keep strong and take care

Hia everyone else, we've had a busy few days, seaside day trip to Chapel St L....

Bought twins early 4th birthday present - TRAMPOLINE and a nice garden swing to watch them

We were going away but it didn't pan out so went to the sales instead!

Must stop spending this well earned money, it'll be Christmas shopping before I know it.

HAPPY SUNNY DAYS TO EVERYONE

[ZipadiSuzy]

Are the Captains' well?

[MarsLady]

Ok... off to the one that called. Please pray it's quick and that the second one doesn't need me till I'm done!

Oh and please pray for the safe delivery of both babies and the health of the mums. Thanks!

[notsofarnow]

podglet sorry to hear about your gran hun xx

Been to a&e today dd fell off top of slide she was trying to sit on ds lap and she fell off cracking her head on a concrete plynth it came up in a huge egg but she didn't even complain that her head hurt it was her grazed elbow that she moaned about, it was only when i sat her on my lap and pushed hair out of her eyes that I found the lump.

Was going to drive to a&e but she was really spaced out so ended up having a trip in an ambulance. She's fine and came home and proceeded to sit on top of the climbing frame - they never learn do they.

So an eventful day all in all. [sigh]

[CaptainCaveman]

What a shock nsfn! Hope alls well now still?

Praying for you and your family Podglet, we're always here for you if you need a shoulder/ear.

Such awful news for mum2tandf - praying that the Lord will comfort them in a time of such turmoil.

praying for you and your ladies Mars! Nice to see you again!

How's your eye Worz - praying it clears up mighty quick and you feel well again soon.

And how's your chest Rosey - did you get your xray results yet? Praying for healing and rest for you too.

Hi Sooz, this captain is fine and ds is all better. I was on the phone to my mum earlier and ds took the phone to talk to her. After being polite and telling her what he's done at nursery today he said "er shut up grandma, I'm going to put a tree in your face" . Now I know she talks a lot but thats a little extreme for a 3 year old.....(made me giggle though!!).
When are the dts 4?

[MarsLady]

It was a quick one. Baby born at 8pm. All well and no news from my other lady. Thank you!

[DutchOma]

Praise the Lord

Praise Him for CC and Marslady and the quick birth of the baby, praise Him for NSFN and her dd.
Praise Him that Mum2TnF can come on MN to share her load, pray for her protection and peace.

And praise for all my dear sisters on MN
Praise the Lord

[katz]

pryaers all around.

can i please ask for some prayers, i'm really not sure where my future lies career wise. i really like my job but having had 4 weeks away i'm now in two minds about it. i guess i want someothing a bit more rewarding, much to DH's horror i think i would like to be a teacher. so can you please prayer that clarity starts to shine through.

second prayer request is for my friends baby who was born at 31.5 weeks on sunday, baby is doing well but some extra mumsnet prayers won't do any harm!

[worzella]

[CaptainDippy]

Aaaaaaaaah, peace at last!

@ DD cracking her head on the concrete nsfn - they are surprisingly robust, aren't they?? My DD2 has a head of steel, I think - she crashes into things and just gets up and carries on!! Glad she is ok - how is the "egg" and the graze today??

• Yey that Baby1 arrived safely Mars - great stuff - Praise God for the miracle of New Life!
  
  Praying for you as your contemplate your career, katz and praying for your friend tiny little miracle! Boy / girl? How big? Pray they continue to do well ....

[ZipadiSuzy]

NSFN - Wow ambulance ride, hope lo ok now! and you have got over the shock! we ended up at a&e at the beginning of holidays, dd pushed ds off bed, very bloody mess to back of his head, but ok now, I cope really well in emergencies but afterwards I shake

Right must crack on with tidying up [boring] its all the toys, I just don't know where to put them, my friend is encouraging me to have a garage sale at that but may well have to.

HAPPY SUNNY DAY TO EVERYONE! bit chilly wind though here in notts.

[Roseylea]

Hello all!

Just a v. quick one to say I'm feeling a bit better today! Hooray! Still got temp, yukky gunk etc but breathing is much easier. Thank you Lord!

Also I had a dream last night which I believe was from God - it was so uplifting and prophetic (I know it sounds a bit out-there; I dream a load of rubbish most of the time but every now and then I have a dream which has got a real God-quality about it). BTW - sorry about my typos! Moany sparrows, eh?

Katz praying for you as you consider your career! I used to teach in a secondary school, so if you want to talk about courses / starting teaching or whatever, get my e-mail from someone here!

Enjoy your tidying, Suze! Our conservatory is the play-room and it looks as if a torando has whirled through it atm (a 3.5 y o tornado, actaully!) When I'm feeling a bit better we are going to try and tackle it....

Hi Marslady! Congrats to your ladies on their new babes! What a fabby job you have, seeing new little ones into the world - what a privilege.

Worz so glad that your eye is better. Hope you continue to mend ready for the start of term.

Lots of love to everyone else - have a good day and may you all know the love of God today.
