553 replies

DutchOma · 07/09/2007 18:52

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.

Hope DS is OK... K's DCs have it...

ZipadiSuzy · 25/09/2007 23:15

Panda - prayers for poor wee mite, YEWY

PandaG · 25/09/2007 23:19

Really no prob Worz, DD needs to be there anyway - DH happy to oblige. He's now gone out to meet your DH, think he needs a pint after all the clearing up he has done!

Thanks Zip! Am sure it is just a gastro bug, but he hasn't been poorly like thkis for a long time poor chap!

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2007 07:44

Poor love, Panda, prayning it's just a quick thing & he's back to normal soon. xx

MaryBS · 26/09/2007 08:01

Panda, how is DS this morning? {hugs}

How are you this morning too CD? Thinking of you and praying.

NSFN - you're in my prayers too.

In fact, you're all in my prayers! Perhaps this is why we're called "Godbotherers", because we keep "on at Him" so much

I am praying for strength for me to see God in everyone. That I don't get drawn into petty politics and oneupmanship, but can keep my eyes on the Kingdom. That I can be patient and forgiving in the face of adversity. For then I will know it is God's will what I am doing.

MarsLady · 26/09/2007 08:42

Oh not today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok..... final client (remember one was early) text in the night... contractions starting, called this morning no real progression but much as last night. Now, I've printed off all my notes for my essay and will be writing the rest of it long hand ready to type up (sigh.........)

Can you guess what I'm about to ask? That's right..... please pray for another quickie but for her to not need me till tonight. That should give me time to finish work and get another chunk of essay done. Seems I will be hand delivering it on Friday!

Thanks! Now to do school run.......

PandaG · 26/09/2007 08:49

Thanks for your kind messages. DS was fine all night, and this morning, up until he had some breakfast...He is snuggled up on the settee with water, a bucket and the tv remote!

Praying that you get everything done MArs!

CD, are you feeling any brighter this morning? ((((((hugs))))))

Mary, I will pray that prayer for you too. We humans get caught up in oneupmanships and politics so often, I pray you will rise above it and fix your eyes on Him wha has called you and is working in you and through you to His glory.

MarsLady · 26/09/2007 08:50

Thank you!

(Like buses the babies on my watch. Nothing for ages then three at once lol)

harrisey · 26/09/2007 09:13

Ds crying abut school this morning cos 'bad boy XXXXX' in his class was kicking him in the playground yesterday.

Have sent a note, but could you pray that he will be safe today, poor wee thing. If it happpens again I will be right round there!

Notquitegrownup · 26/09/2007 10:11

Praying for your son, his teacher and bad boy X, Harrisey. , but that he told you about it, rather than bottling it up.

Praying for the NSFNs and all.

God bless.

WhereDoIGo · 26/09/2007 10:15

Right ladies you really helped me out last time, and without being or seeming ungrateful i need your help again. Ok quick brief i had an interview last week and was offered the job .... bow the problem is yesterday i had a telephone call from another company that i applied with. Now this job has less hours (so i could spend more 'mummy time' at home) and its closer and a good environment iyswim. I am in such that they had even called me for interview! Interview at 12 today, please please just say a small tiny prayer that i impress them
Thank you thank you xx

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2007 10:36

Peace at last! Hopefully for a good couple of hours!!?

Praying Mars - you Super Woman, you!

about DS and the bullying, harrisey - must break your heart - I dropped DD1 off at Pre-School this morning and she wanted to join in an imaginary type game some other girls were playing and they told her "to go away cos they didn't want to play with her" She's only 3.7 yrs. Children can be so cruel. Good that he told you though Praying it can be resolved.

Don't apologise for coming here for prayer, WDIG - that's what we are here for! Great to "see" you again. Will definitely pray for the interview sweetie - let us know how it goes!

Keep praying for me, still v.shaky ....

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2007 11:17

Right, I have ifnished making notes for the new thread Going to do a couple of jobs and then hopefully be back to type up notes and start a new thread before I got DD2 up for lunch. Otherwise I'll do it this evening when DH is out!

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2007 11:20

Ooooh, todays Toilet Prayer ....

"O God, who art everywhere present, look down with thy mercy upon those who are absent from among us. Give thy Holy Angels charge over them, and grant that they may be kept safe in body, soul and spirit, and presented faultless before the prescence of thy Glory with exceeding joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Ricahrd Meux Benson, 1824 - 1915

Amen!

Notquitegrownup · 26/09/2007 11:43

Lovely prayer CD!

Prayers for peace and calm and snuggles for you.

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2007 11:56

Thank you NQGU - Snuggles to you too!

No time to do the new thread now, but will do it tonight once I've got rid of DH , bless him! At least the notes are done, that is the most time consuming bit ......

ZipadiSuzy · 26/09/2007 14:27

harrisey · 26/09/2007 16:50

School was fine for ds. "Bad boy x" was kept in at playtime today because he had been violent onthe school bus. Ds said his mummy had to come to the school to get him at hometime!!

So I wasnt imagining it, and its being dealt with.

Poor boy though. What makes you that violent at age 5? Hope they can help him to get over it.
