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.

Pray that she will be able to pace herself

Also remember Katz NQGU and Worzella.

Finally:- Give thanks to the Lord always. Rejoice in the Lord always. God is great. ..all the time

Oh Podglet...One comfort:- Your Father in heaven knows exactly what is happening and can turn anything to good. If you are prepared to submit your will to His then everything will turn out for the best. How far gone are you? Can't help smiling about yet another little life being prepared for life on earth. Every blessing

yi-ppee podglet!! Hope this is a wonderful blessing for you. Ds insists we add smilies...

Quote from Karl Barth in Tear Fund magazine:- "To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world"

Just wanted to share that with you.

Hello all - sorry to interrupt but I wondered if you would pray for my friend's son who might be about to be diagnosed with autism. If he was, they would have to leave where we live in Germany and move back to the UK as there aren't the doctors in place for him out here.
His mum, who I've only just met but hope to get to know better, is an amazing woman who had real problems with drugs and alcohol before she became a Christian and I know she would appreciate the combined efforts of Mumsnet praying for her lovely son.
Thanks x

praying scootergrrrl don't know what else to say.

can we pray for my xh he's down feels he's trapped as he still can't have his driving license back, says he's been drinking loads which is so dangerous because of his addictive personality - says he doesn't even like the stuff - so what does that tell you. Has been asked to be taken off the church roll as his lifestyle doesn't fit that what it should be and says he's got nothing left to think about God.

Poor dd can of hairspray fell on her poorly head this evening. ds seems to have a bit of a dodgy tummy this eve hopefully won't turn into anything.

Praying for scootergirrls (?) friend's son and for his mum. Difficult when you are in a foreign contry.
Also for your exh problems nsfn, hopefully you can hold fast to the promises of the Lord for you and support him through your faith. Must be hard after what you've both gone through.

Scootergrrrl praying for your friends son, may the Lord surround your friend with all the support and care she needs.

Praying for your xh too nsfn, as you know my dsis is now a recovering (thank you God) alcoholic. Its so hard to see someone you care about in freefall self-destruction. As one of these wise christian mners advised me - pray it all up to God for He is the one who can make a difference.

Well what a gorgeous sunny morning! I'm really really happy so Praise God!! I have an ironing mountain to conquer but even that doesn't dampen my spirits . Must be the drugs .

how are all you lovely ladies? x

CC - Hia! I don't know where our sunshine is this morning, cause we havent got it in the south of notts may well have to come to town to reach the warmth continued prayers for your dsis, I bet you are so proud of her 'keeping of the booze' I pray she gets lots of encouragement and support to maintain her good work! also prayers for her dd

Podglet, please hang in there, I'm sure your dp will be thrilled, if you were going to start after xmas, its not much out of your time scale, perhaps this might strengthen him and put things into perspective a little bit. We are always here for support. Hope everything goes ok

scootergirl - welcome and prayers are zooming all the way to Germany, hope your friend can find some support for her child without the upheaval of moving to uk, may the lord see her christian strength and help her and her lo

NSFN - prayers for your xh, I hope he can find his faith to strengthen his mind to help himself, and prayers for you to manage with dc through what must feel very sad for them.

Prayers for my dneic, 16wk pregnant with identical twins and suffering

Please send the sunshine the other end of notts CC

I'd stop talking to myself, IF ONLY DH HAD GOT MY PAINTBRUSH OUT OF THE LOCKED GARAGE BEFORE HE WENT TO WORK! yes I am now ranting! another wasted day! well will have to get in the garden 'in the SUNSHINE'

hi
wonder if i could ask for some prayers, please?
for my mil, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer at 76, and fil and lovely dh as they deal with it
for dh and me as we have started trying for dc no. 2
for me as i find my way back to the church, much to my surprise (but pleasure)
thank you

Welcome CommanderChaos.
Will certainly pray for all the issues mentioned, cancer is such an awful thing.
Very glad that you are able to make your way back to church, hope you find all the support you need there. Is this a church you were involved with before or is it a new church altogether?
I just heard this morning that one of our old ministers and his wife are expecting a new baby in February, a second one after a very scary IVF baby three years ago. Praise the Lord for all newly expected babies, conceived or in the planning.

hi commanderchaos good to see you - hope your journey back to church is a good one.

I work on a ward where breast cancer ops are done hopefully they've caught it early enough. Praying for all involved.

LOL @ Sooz's mad rantings!! Praying for your DNiece - how is she doing? We have a friend who is about 32 weeks expecting identical twin boys () - she's struggling but so lovely & positive - prayers for her appreciated too! Praying for your DS as he prepares to go back to school to, especially with his SN - praying the teachers have real wisdom in dealing with him ..... How is the twins' room doing??

Hurrah for your PG Podglet - exciting stuff! Praying for you as you sort stuff out etc.....

Hi Scooter - definitely praying for your friend's DS.....

nasfn - Your exH is in my thoughts and prayers - alcoholism is something that has directly affected my life and I have seen the mess and devestation it leaves in it's wake ...... praying that your ex would wake up and realise what he is doing to himself and his family....

Just posted something I wrote much earlier so missed CommanderChaos' post - definitely praying for you and your family as they deal with your MIL's diagnosis, as nsfn said, praying they have caught it early enough. Stick with us - we're a nice bunch! Wonderful news that you have rediscovered church! Tell us a bit more about yourself ......

I am very this evening, just a mixture of extreme tiredness and frustration and a build up of different issues.

Hi all,

Thank you all so much for your kind words - they have made me all teary - good all hormones! I have suggested to DP that I might be pregnant again (break him in gently) and he doesn't seem too bad. He wants me to wait until my birthday (12th) to test again. We will have a lot of stuff to sort out if this one sticks (history of m/c) as I am due back to work at the end of Oct, but we will get there...

CD - hope you are ok lovely, our ears are always here for you...

Hi to Shreksmissus and Commanderchaos praying for your MIL Commander.

Suzy - good luck with the painting (should you get there!)

Hope everyone enjoys their sundays, I am taking DS to church (will be the last service for us at the church before the move) and then we are going to start packing - eeek!
