Mumsnet prayer thread for July

Since the last prayer update there have been three bereavements on this thread alone Onlyjoking's Steve, MartianBishop's husband (who had been presented with his MBE just days before his death) and Evenstar's husband who died very suddenly while away from home.
Our prayers are with them. Special prayers for OJ as she battles with difficult relations. Praying that she will be able to get everything done before she goes away on holiday to Lanzarote to scatter Steve's ashes in a place where they have been very happy.

Praying for CaptainCaveman and MyJobismum as they expect their babies. Praying that there may soon be a positive, acceptable offer on CC's house.

Health problems:- CaptainDippy with a persistent cough. Things are not easy for our Dippy at the moment, please, if you can, concentrate your prayers on her and her family for a wee while.

Podmog can be in a hard place from time to time. Things are looking up, but it's going to take time and patience.

Swaliswan will receive treatment for a longstanding problem, but no problems have been discovered after extensive blood tests.

I haven't heard how PandaG's mum is doing after her lung operation.

We also pray for Nicole, Mary's friend who was taken ill with meningitis while in Cyprus. Her life hung by a thread, but over the past few days she has held her own.
Continuing prayers for Mary's friend Marg who suffered three grievous bereavements in a very short time.

We pray for Suzy that she may be delivered from Trojan Horses. Lord what did we do before we had computers?

We pray for Amber, that she may find the right way to communicate .

We pray for Mary in her studies, giving thanks for recent successes. Also for Weegiemum and Weegiedad, who passed exams at the end of the academic year.

We pray for Notsofarnow and FAQ for wisdom in newly developing relationships.

Welcome to newbies bealcain (and her friend), justabout and PurpleLostPrincess. Hoping to hear more from Bottersnike whose dh40 posted to ask for prayers in a very sudden difficult illness, which fortunately resolved itself quickly.
We give thanks for all on the board who pray for us Notquitegrownup who 'flies by', Jentlydoesit (Podglet), Mufti, Roseylea and Astrophe

And we pray for all of us that we may be true servants of the one living God in the care we give to each other in prayer and practical help.

DutchOma · 31/07/2008 22:42

Did you see a different dr CD? It didn't sound as if it was nothing. Hope they get to the bottom of it.
Praying for strength for you Mufti during your MIL's visit.
Have a happy holiday Suzy
And welcome home OJ and co. (at least I hope you are safely home)

Yep, same dr - he's a Christian and a family friend, so that's nice

Just had text from CC .....

"Am in hospital again. Came in yesterday evening with high BP, protein in wee, headaches and flashing lights. Seeing cons this morning. He might bring section forward."

MaryBS · 01/08/2008 08:32

Enjoy sooz!

Praying for you all...

I just heard from DH that his BIL is in hospital, we don't know too much as yet. Only yesterday he either had a fall at work, banged his head and THEN fitted, or had a fit and fell and banged his head. He has had a CT scan which apparently "is worrying Drs", but that's all I know. So please pray for him.

CaptainCaveman · 01/08/2008 10:22

Morning all. When will I be well!!?

CaptainDippy · 02/08/2008 09:12

Just read email from Mary re her DH's BIL ....

"He is seriously ill in hospital. The Drs say it may be a stroke or a brain tumour, they are not as yet sure what caused it, but they have found "something" on his brain. More tests required He's only 50."

Love and prayers. xx

DutchOma · 02/08/2008 10:28

Oh definitely love and prayers for Mary's BIL. May God work His wonderful healing, like only He can. May He protect Mary's dh from bitter thoughts in this situation.

Prayers for Dippy too and for peace of mind for Paperchain (like that better than NASWN)
I'm keeping an ear open, in case you want to 'talk'

I've just found out that a dear friend has been diagnosed with Breast cancer and would ask that you prayer for her. Thank you.

Also I have a client who is having an incredibly slow induction of labour. Please pray that the baby is born today. I'm on my way to her now and she's rather downhearted.

Plus I have another client who is now due and a twin client. Please pray that they come in an orderly, manageable fashion. Thanks.

DutchOma · 02/08/2008 11:18

Oh Marsy, may the Lord bless you and keep you and all your dear clients/friends.
I love it when you just drop these prayer requests in our lap in the sure certainty that not only will we do something about it, but that God hears you and us.
