Prayer thread for September

[DutchOma]

Lord we lift up Your Name.

We give thanks for two new little beanies, Bobsmum's and Podglets?.

We give thanks that Worzella and Roseylea are quite a bit better, we pray for complete healing for both of them.

We also pray for CaptainDippy, not feeling great and struggling with a particularly difficult issue at the moment.

We pray for Podglet as she works through a week of incredible business. Lord we hold her up for Your particular love and care.

We also pray for Mummy2TandF. After the very sudden and unexplained death of her dh she is feeling totally overwhelmed by money worries and grief. Lord uphold her and give her all the practical help she needs. Also help her in answering questions from her ds and help him come to terms with his grief

We also remember Onlyjoking and Steve before the Lord with their three children.

We give thanks with Harrisey that her ds is settling into school and for a few days away. We pray for strength as she copes with the after effects of MIL's childcare

We give thanks with MaryBS for a wonderful holiday and pray for her as she takes up study and essay writing. We pray for her ds and his appointment with the paediatrician on 14th September

Zipadisoozy - prayers for peace of mind concerning ds and his new school. Prayers for him too as he settles into a class with two bullies from his previous school. Let's pray for his protection and right development.
We give thanks, with Marslady for the safe arrival of the two babies she looks after.
We thank the Lord for CaptainCaveman and her ds, who keeps us amused with the wonderful things he comes out with.
We remember Notsofarnow and the difficulties in her relationship with exh. We pray for wisdom

We welcome the new girls Scootergrrrl, Commanderchaos, Sandcastles and Shreksmissus. We pray for Mr Shrek and his very busy life and with him for all dhs who work so hard for their families. May the Lord bless them richly and keep them walking in His way.

Several young children have been brought to our notice for prayer:- Brook Kendrick who lives in Northampton and is very poorly with a heart condition in Great Ormond Street Hospital and C who is known to Bobsmum. He suffers from an inoperable brainstem tumour.

We commit ourselves and all our friends to the care of our great and wonderful Lord and Saviour.

Well you ladies and your prayers are very very effective. Baby was born within 2.5hours of me being there. Home in plenty of time to do some of my essay (before a quick spot of salsa to release the adrenalin). Wonderful birth... without doubt the best I've seen.

Please pray that my final lady waits until after I've submitted my essays!

Praise God for the wonderful birth I was a very small part of today.

Mars how do you do it? You seem to squeeze 27 hours in to each day. Praise God for the wonderful work you are so blessed and gifted to do.

Bobsmum, get thee to a medic - an order from your fellowship! As an orthopaedic nurse I can confirm Harrisey's implorings to get checked out to be safe. Most likely just brusing and whiplash but why take a chance? I once nursed a young lady who'd had a car accident 4 weeks previously before she finally came in to A&E to get her neck pain checked out - she ended up spending weeks in halo traction for a fractured vertebrae. A little extreme example I realise, but just goes to show you SHOULD get yourself checked, particularly as you are pg and your ligaments etc are softer and more likely to 'give' (ie, more prone to injury than when not pg).

Please pray that I get a full nights sleep tonight. Also, pray for me to get my assignment finished on time. Looking ok, upto 3500 words and about 3/4 done. Just wrestling with investment appraisals/opportunity costs (bleurgh, all vomit inducing stuff!)

His chest not been too bad this eve but he is on 10 puffs of ventolin every couple of hours. Please pray I sleep all through the night with no disturbances. I'm gonna cry.

hi there ladies, somehow only just properly found this part of MN and this thread - how encouraging to see that some of you that i see on threads all the time are christians too! So can i join in??
I will be lurking and praying for you anyway

Hope everyone is OK tonight. I am losing my voice with a terrible cold all the kids have had, and dh is awa working all week. But otherwise OK, just tired as ever!

cheritongirl - welcome, please introduce yourself, I'm sooz 46, dh 54, ds 11yo, nearly 4yo twins

NSFN - aw, prayers for you, hope ds gets better soon, and sorry the world is not going to stop for you to get off, your're doing brilliant, just poor it all out to god, (and us) we are always here, god bless

Worzella - hia, lovely to hear from you, {{{{{{waves}}}}}} from 1 chaotic household to another

Mary - hia, wow congratulations on your work, clever little girl

QofQ - prayers for your family at this sad time, I hope your parents make it safely and in time.

Prayers for tomorrow to be more peaceful for you all

prayers for CD - missing you gal!!!!

I think i'm going to stop posting. All I do is take and don't seem to give a lot back.

Got nothing left to give anyone anymore.

Aw harrisey - prayers for a good nights sleep and your recovery

CC - "GET SOME SLEEP TONIHGT"

NSFN - please hold on tight, its a rocky road I know, but you are really doing fabulous. Hows ds tonight

NSFN - please don't feel bad about the 'me me me' I'm worlds worst, if it gets things off your chest, go for it! thats what we are here for.

Sorry gotta go, dd not very well ??????????

NSFN - you've been there for me many times. I know how hard it is to admit that help is needed, and how easy it is to feel "useless", when really that's not the case at all. PLEASE don't stop posting. We are strong for each other. Remember Paul and "the body of Christ". If one of us hurts, we all feel it. If one of us falls, we pick them up. We take it in turns to be strong. How can I come to you and ask for help, if you don't feel you can do the same if you need help?

Welcome Cheritongirl - all the merrier!

NotAnOtter, how are you?

NQGU - a credit is higher than a pass, with distinction being the top mark. I don't think my tutor "does" sensitive, but nice of you to give him the benefit of the doubt

Rosey - Praying about giving up work - exciting! How's DD?

NotAnOtter - Praying sweetie, can't say anything better than anyone else- You did the right and the good thing. xxxx

NSFN please keep posting.
