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.

Oh OJ it is so lovely of you to pop by - you and your precious children are often in my thoughts and prayers. How fast 10 weeks has gone I am glad you are "managing". Steve was / is an incredible man and he will always be with each of you as you get through each day. xxxx

DutchOma · 18/08/2008 11:49

Thanks OJ, look forward to the photos.

Praise God for ds2's weight gain - he is now 7lb 9oz which is a fantastic 12oz in 5 days . Praise God too that all is settled in the CC household (and in my head ).

continued prayers for all the prayer thread ladies - I'm sorry I feel really lame not naming individual prayers but God knows my heart and you're all in there.

Fab stuff CC Hey MJIM - ealry night for you, young lady >

DutchOma · 18/08/2008 20:32

DumbledoresGirl has been on holiday in Cornwall (I think with her parents-in-law) for the past fortnight or so. She is not having a particularly happy time, the weather is not good and one of the children is ill etc, so she's asked for "coping" prayers.

Icanseethesea - thank you! I had scared myself a bit silly last night looking on the internet. All those medical sites with academic papers, and when I got to the bits about mortality rates it all got a bit much.

Prayers for you all and thank you again!

CaptainDippy · 18/08/2008 21:43

Praying for dearest DG. xx

Am in the internet cafe in the big sheep, nr Bideford.

Just popped in to say praying for you all... could do with some prayers for good weather, as its not been very good at all! Went to church Sunday, lovely church in Woolacombe, but the sermon made me cry (it was about rejection, and not giving in, in the face of rejection).

God bless all

Hey Mary Praying for better weather for you all sweetie. xx

DutchOma · 20/08/2008 11:33

Oh Mary, we looked out of the window the other day and said:- "Hey God, remember the rainbow?" The weather improved almost immediately.
