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.

Thank you Podmog for your lovely flowers, real flowers, that made it to Northampton unharmed, thank you all for birthday wishes and unbirthday wishes, thank you Mary for the card and Myjobismum for the gifts, you have no idea how much it all means to me.

Morning ladies

Welcome jamescagney this is such a lovely, friendly and inpsirational thread.

Had a Rubbish day yesterday. Had to go back to clinic at consultants request and the sister on duty was awful. Made me feel like I was utterly wasting their time . I had protein in my wee, headaches, rib pain and swollen ankles but all she could manage to say was "doesn't everyone have a headache in this weather?!!!" . Still, they took some bloods and will phone me today with the results. I spent 45 mins yesterday evening sobbing mainly because of the attitude of said sister but also because none of the local chinese takeaways sold shredded chicken. Ahh, pg hormones are marvellous aren't they

Praise God I am feeling much better today. Intend to do nothing except rest on the sofa, watch 24 on dvd and eat ice lollies.

CD praying all goes well at your gp appt today (((((CD)))))

CaptainDippy · 31/07/2008 10:14

Am here, just not up to posting much. Praying for all.

DutchOma · 31/07/2008 10:37

Good plan CC. at said sister. I hope you told her that you had to come because of the consultant. Shredded chicken? Can't you shred your own chicken? What's shredded chicken?
CD Good luck with the GP appointment, insist on answers or a referral to a specialist sweetheart. You know you're not right, we know you're not right, it's time for the buck to stop. If your GP doesn't know (s)he will have to get someone else to look at you.

{{{hugs}}} and prayers for all

Thank you. I just want to be better now.

CaptainCaveman · 31/07/2008 13:11

It's something like Yuk Sum DO but it's usually shredded meat with lettuce in a restaurant.

MAS called me, one of blood tests is raised so I have to go back for another check on saturday. Feel much happier knowing I will be checked again between now and monday.

CD how did you get on at GPs?

Please could you pray for S, a friend who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.
