Cracking job dippy - now get down the Drs please PLEASE? You know you need to...

(I haven't got a job btw - still unemployed, so prayers please for this...)

amberlight · 12/11/2009 12:49

Thanks, CD. Sister's eye has most of its sight back, but she's still not 100% so prayers would still be appreciated. And for me as I face a really tricky couple of weeks trying to secure support for my own needs.

CaptainDippy · 12/11/2009 14:16

Its great to have the summary for all the prayers needed, Thanks Captain.

Am I allowed to add my request to the list?
DD3's health is declining again (cfs/me) and for DD1 living away from home.

Thank you.

MrsMalcolmTucker · 13/11/2009 22:39

Hello - I haven't posted in this thread before although I lurk occasionally and add my prayers to all of yours (you do a great job Captain Dippy!)

Could I ask you to pray for me please? I'm feeling a bit low atm. I've suffered from depression in the past, and have had a bad time recently. I feel a bit lost, and I sometimes feel I'm going through the motions of faith, rather than really feeling it. Could some of you shinier people pop me on the end of your prayer lists please? Thank you all.

amberlight · 14/11/2009 09:03

Prayers for everyone continuing. MrsMT, will certainly do that. And hello!

CaptainDippy · 14/11/2009 10:01

I can totally relate to everything you posted MrsMT, so you are most certainly not alone Will definitely pray for you and do pop by when you can - we're quite a friendly bunch really Watch out for DutchOma though - she's terrible for swearing!! (Teasing) xx

CaptainDippy · 14/11/2009 10:02

Hello - bit better day today so thank you everyone! Hope everyone else is doing ok too.

Am looking out for DutchOma so we can form Swearers Corner together. Have spent years trying to get rid of my pre-Christian habit of taking God's name in vain - will take me a few more years to get rid of my sweariness!

CaptainDippy · 15/11/2009 10:06

Glad you are feeling happier today MrsMT - I was only teasing about DutchOma - she is one of the more "senior" members of our community here and never swears or says naughty things, but the other day she used the word "crap" on the thread

shelleylou · 15/11/2009 10:32

Hi, Thank you all for you continuing prayers. It is so nice to know that people i dont know are thinking of me and my family in this awful time

DutchOma · 15/11/2009 13:16

Teasing apart, so often we feel low because we think that we are not doing enough for God (just going through the motions) whereas we would feel much happier if we concentrated on what God has done for us.
There is another thread in this topic on Our God is an Awesome God, that's true of course, but you know what? This awesome God loves you, yes you and you and you more than you love yourself. Just sit for a bit and think about that.

DutchOma · 15/11/2009 13:18

Our God is an awesome God

We are appreciating all your prayers very much.

I'm struggling with feeling pretty low, on new anti-d's which are making me a bit sleepy, though the pleurisy seems to be much better, only hurts when I cough really hard (then it hurts, though!)

Good news - dh has been able to come off his antidepressants and is feeling brilliant, he's writing again (his way of worshipping, really!) and getting on fine with work, which he sometimes finds a little boring.

Kids are well, we are doing OK - things feel just a little more positive! We will reconsider our options for abroad in the new year, but not just now.

And the sun is shining! Praise God!!

MaryBS · 17/11/2009 08:34

Praying WM!

We had a lovely time at Disneyland. Feeling very tired though still!

M44 · 17/11/2009 10:28

Hello- just to say I am totally recovered. Going on retreat this weekend to think about the future...please do pray....it is an important weekend.

positiveattitudeonly · 17/11/2009 10:42

Praying WM.
I'm glad you were all well enough to go Mary.

Prayer would be appreciated here. DH has been feeling that God is calling him from his present job for a while. He won't do anything stupid, but he also says he won't stay where God doesn't want him to be. We have been in this situation before and he gave up his job with no job to go to, but God provided for us and after a two week "holiday" he was again employed. Now though with the job situation as it is I have less peace about giving up one job before having another in place. Prayers for guidance for the next step in our lives, please. Many thanks.
