Norma, praying for your DN, poor little love.
barleywood and MaryBS - yes that really resonates with me, being in 'ordinary time' - almost slightly apathetic and finding it hard to get going on things. But we all go through times like this, then there will be 'higher' times too, it's human experience I guess.

MC - praying for you. Sounds like such a sad time you are having. x

M44 · 09/02/2010 17:39

Please pray for our church....for peace, healing and protection....and for the media to lose interest. I cannot and will not post more than that ...those who know me....know what I am asking.

It has been a difficult day.....grief rearing it's emotional head!

meltedchocolate · 09/02/2010 19:41

MaryBS - Trying it already and for the most part it is helping. Just trying to be more active and tryig not to feel sorry for myself!

Praying....

CaptainDippy · 10/02/2010 12:48

Praying M44 xxxxx

Prayers for your DN to fight, fight, fight Norma. Keep us updated. xx

Prayers for your SD and mum as they jet off Jen. xx

Feeling better about chicken situ now; but had horrible teleconference meeting for work last night, which left me feeling inadequate and like a "naughty schoolgirl" (and not in a "good" way either ) Was very demoralising. Sigh.

ANYway. Prayers appreciated for my lovely FIL who is being dragged to the Drs by my lovely MIL on Thurs as we all think he is severely depressed and really needs some seriously help!!! thank you xxxx

amberlight · 10/02/2010 12:49

Prayers continuing...

barleywood · 10/02/2010 16:41

M44 in my thoughts and prayers for the difficult situation facing your church.
CaptainDippy stay strong
Prayers for all those on this thread

DutchOma · 10/02/2010 17:37

You are not a naughty schoolgirl Dippy. Don't let anybody make you feel inadequate.

CaptainDippy · 11/02/2010 12:06

You are all lovely Could you now please pray the six inches of snow that have fallen overnight away, please? We're supposed to be going away tomorrow - eeeek!!!!!

OP posts:
MaryBS · 11/02/2010 12:38

Can we have it CD, we've not had a decent amount of snow since the middle of December!

Sorry to hear about your telephone conference call. WE value you very highly!

Praying M44 for your church, and for you, and for everyone on here asking for prayers.

CaptainDippy · 11/02/2010 12:45

Awww, thank you Mary - and you are very welcome to my snow xx

OP posts:
MaryBS · 11/02/2010 12:57

Can't believe how bad you're having it dahn sahf, I just tried phoning Eurotunnel and can't speak to anyone because the recorded message says that all travel is suspended and they're out clearing the snow!!! . So I can't make a booking to go away in May! Have to book over the phone because using Tesco vouchers...

Please keep praying for Val. They've now got Norovirus in the hospital, and Val's caught a dose of it .

Good news re: DD's little friend. She didn't lose any weight last week and has gained 1/2 pound this week - so although only a tiny gain, she's not lost any and they've put on hold admitting her to hospital. Praise God!

madhairday · 11/02/2010 13:11

Praying for your situation M44.
CD, sorry to hear you had a bad conference call, sounds v petty and nasty, don't let it get to you.
Mary will pray for val and your dd's friend..
Please could I ask for prayers for a friend L, whose daughter is anorexic, she is really struggling and very low, I am worried.

amberlight · 11/02/2010 18:06

DS's eye specialist appointment was today. Not good. They probably need to do surgery to stabilise his eyesight. Prayers would be appreciated. Timescale unknown at present but it's not what we were hoping to hear.

M44 · 12/02/2010 08:48

Thank you lovely mumsnetters! Things are far from better.....but at least this week is nearly over and a healing process has begun. Thank you to those who have sent messages...you know who you are!

Praying for you all....

MaryBS · 13/02/2010 21:10

Still praying M44.

Also praying for L, Madhairday

PositiveAttitude · 14/02/2010 07:01

Praying for all you lovely ladies and DCs.

I will be saying a special prayer for all of you feeling alone this Valentines Day. Remember, God loves you, cares for you and values you so much more than any man could do.

Have a good day, everyone.

amberlight · 14/02/2010 13:08

Prayers continuing for everyone.

It's also Autism Sunday. If anyone can add in a small prayer for all of us on the autism spectrum, and all those who are in our lives and do such a caring and wonderful job of supporting and encouraging us, it would be much appreciated.

MaryBS · 14/02/2010 21:47

I echo what Amber says. It never got a mention in our church, and I wonder whether that is true of most churches. However I really value the support I receive here, and the caring welcoming support that is given, without judgement. RL has a LOT to learn sometimes from the internet!

PrammyMammy · 16/02/2010 19:43

All you lovely ladies. I had no idea this thread was around.
I am saying an extra prayer for my friend Sean who has been feeling super, extra low the past few weeks. If some of you could think of him that would be nice.

DutchOma · 16/02/2010 19:50

Welcome PrammyMammy. Any reason why Sean is feeling so low? or is he feeling low without a reason, which can be even more difficult to cope with.

PositiveAttitude · 16/02/2010 19:53

Welcome PrammyMammy. Saying prayers for your friend too.

Update on the minister I asked you to pray for recently. Things are not good. He went for surgery yesterday. the tumour is larger and more in depth then originally thought and is pressing on his spinal cord. He is in need of God's healing touch. Please pray for him and his young wife. (He is 24 and not long married)

I am praying you are all enjoying half term with your DCs.

PrammyMammy · 16/02/2010 20:11

Sean lost his grandad, who was more of a dad, he lives with his grandparents, they brought him up. The grief he is feeling and the stress he feels caused his gf to leave him as she couldn't cope with how down he was. That made him worse. It is hard to see. Thank you
I will be sticking around here i think"

DutchOma · 16/02/2010 20:56

Oh, poor lad. It makes it so much easier to pray for someone when you have a clue as to where they are struggling.

MaryBS · 17/02/2010 11:51

Praying for Sean, and for you too PrammyMammy, you are a good friend for supporting him.

Wanted to share this prayer for Lent - not sure how many of us are giving things up, or whether we've chosen to do something extra instead...

Lord Jesus, you know our human weaknesses. Hear us as we pray.

When we are tempted to ignore your word,
and act as if we can live without you,
Deliver us from temptation; help us put our trust in you.
When we are tempted by the wealth of the world,
and act as if money and power can supply all our needs,
Deliver us from temptation; help us put our trust in you.
When we are tempted to put you to the test,
and act as if prayer is a spiritual slot machine,
Deliver us from temptation; help us put our trust in you.

madhairday · 17/02/2010 22:06

That's great MaryBS. The 'spiritual slot machine' thing is so true.
PrammyMummy, praying for Sean.
Positiveattitude, praying for your minister. so sad
