GET PRAYING!!!

Hi BrokenBananaTantrum, I love your name, because my little grandson always throws a tantrum when his banana gets broken, so funny, my children didn't do that, but he invariably does.
Of course we will pray for your friend, whether she is a MNter or not, but it would be good if you could tell her that friends are praying for her if that is a comfort to her.

We have had wonderful answers to prayer as you can see if you look at the thread a bit, but so often is is not the outcome of the prayer itself but the comfort of knowing that people are thinking of you and praying for you that makes the difference.

Thanks PA

She has just given birth to twins very prematurley and one didn't make it. I cried reading her thread I have (and others on the thread) have said they are praying for her but the more the better I always think........

Oh yes, I truly understand her pain. (from my own experience) Definitely praying.

We have BrokenBananaTantrums from DD2 in this house too Thank you for bring this poor woman plight to our attention. Heart-breaking. I will pray for her and for her family. xx

Thanks so much. I didn't really believe in the power of prayer before I had a real example of it working in my own life but I know it works even if the other person doesn't know / believe now.

Praying hard for her...and all else affected by this...

Evening All. It's been a while. I'm just going to try and catch up from the last point that I came and snatched a quick glimpse at how things are going for all of you...

SS - Well "Hellloooooooooooooo" fellow 'boing' howz ya doing?

Hey SS >

Hey Sooz! I'm OK thanks.

So, I'm going to unashamedly ask for prayer despite my extended absence

I found out on thursday that I am pg with DC3. At first I was petrified about being pg because of the thought of dealing with 3 pre-schooler's at once. Now I am petrified about having another mc. Please Lord, don't let this happen again. Also, we are still struggling to get DD2 to sleep through the night. Please Lord, give us the wisdom and the patience to deal with this.

Oh, and in case you hadn't guessed by the appearance of DC3, things are much better with DH now

Hey CD

Oh Swali, what wonderful news. I can understand your anxieties, but so glad that relations with dh are such that...
It will be alright, whatever happens.
Hi Soozi waves...and Dippy. And all of you old and new, hugs, waves and prayers.

SS - Congratulations and prayers, so pleased things better with DH

DO - I'm with you, but not for long, I'm getting sea sick {{{{{{{waves}}}}}}}

sorry that was really bad soh

Hug, waves and prayers back atcha Oma

Congratulations to SS - Prayer for a sticky one and for you in your anxiety. So pleased that you & DH are much better though Hope he is being lovely & supportive xxx

My friend is still in hospital with her little boy by-the-way. He's had chest drain and central line inserted. Half a litre of fluid has been drained from his lung and no more is coming out - so hopeful that it is all gone now! His temp is better & he is eating and drinking. Please keep praying that they can be out of there soon!! Thank you!!

Oooooh ....

TOILET PRAYER

I was sitting there is am () and came across this:

"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going, I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your Will does not mean I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you, and I hope that I have desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road through I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust you always. Though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my peril alone."

Thomas Merton, 1915 - 1968.

Thank goodness for that!!

Thanks Dippy

Thanks Dippy - exactly what I need right now

Oh, and in among my madness and textbooks, I have found a new resolve to get back to Bible reading and praying in my own time (it's really been on the back-burner for a long time now ). You know how a few well invested minutes of your time each day can reap huge dividends, and make the rest of your time more productive? It's seems to be paying off, anyway at least, I feel happier and calmer which is a huge help in itself! I have also had London Community Gospel choir's version of 'My soul says 'yes!' ' going round in my head too for the last few days. Good uplifting stuff!

this one

That's ace MrsC - v.uplifting Thank you!! I am going to go boogy in the garden and plant some lettuces, sunflowers, peas and beans.

Great prayer CD. Hope everyone here is well. I have two sick children here, running high temps (thank heavens I have a spare bottle of calprofen in the medicine cabinet - I thought I'd run out last night, after giving bedtime doses!)

Love the prayer CD and the song MrsC. Uplifting stuff.

Praying for your dc Mary.

Hi Swali - don't know you as new here but will pray for you and that your dc3 will be safe.

How is everyone today - amber, tacp, sooz, hope you are all OK.

Things OK here...had a good weekend. My lungs playing up again and am supposed to be away this weekend so prayers would be appreciated for healing. Also could you pray for a couple of friends of mine who are showing a lot of interest in God and I feel so encouraged and excited but need the right words to say iyswim.

Afternoon Hugs and prayers to all xxxx

Thank you for yesterday's pray CD. I emailed it on to my DH as the words are very appropriate for a situation we are dealing with at the moment.

Prayers continuing for everyone on here. Congrats to SS - very pleased to hear life is good for you and DH and you have proof!!!!
TACP -prayers continuing for you.

Please could I ask for prayer for a difficult meeting DH has at work tomorrow where he is going to hand in his notice. He has no job lined up, but we both feel that God is prompting us to do this. To a lot of people this is going to seem like a totally crazy step during this time of high un-employment, to actually give up a job, but we see it as a leap of faith and trust God to provide and to open the door He has planned for us. (slightly EEEEeeeeeek, though!!!!)

many thanks.
