Glad it was relevant PA - will pray

amberlight · 04/05/2010 15:40

I think the charity is getting rid of my work next Monday because they don't know where it fits in with their other stuff.
Prayers really really really needed because that would be so
I really am reading and trying to pray for everyone, but it feels like my prayers aren't really very useful at the moment and God isn't really listening.

madhairday · 04/05/2010 15:56

don't think that, God is always listening, always with you, and your prayers mean so much always, in fact it's often when we feel at our lowest or furthest from God that prayer is even more powerful because we are doing it from a place of difficulty, and it is often sacrificial when we feel so low. I will pray for you for this work problem, and generally for peace and reassurance. You matter so much to God - he loves you so much.x

MaryBS · 04/05/2010 17:00

In total agreement with MHD on this. You ARE loved Amber. If you doubt it, Jesus was sent to earth for us, through God's love for all of us (and look how people treated him!

Can we please pray for Kay Harker and her family - for peace and strength of mind? I understand from a thread on MN that she attempted suicide, but is back home now. Many of the threads have been deleted. May she also know God's love for her...

CaptainDippy · 04/05/2010 19:40

God loves you
and I love you
and that's the way it should

OK amber!!!?

Prayers for Kay Harker. She has so much to live for. So much. xx

OP posts:
BlueEyeshadow · 04/05/2010 21:20

DS2 is coughing again. It doesn't seem like much but it's horrible to hear him and so disheartening when he'd just got back into a reasonable sleep pattern.

Praying through.

Hermya321 · 04/05/2010 21:43

Praying for you all!!

oliviacrumble · 04/05/2010 22:50

Prayers for all.

Am still here, tho often feel very unworthy!

teaandcakeplease · 04/05/2010 23:04

Bit too tired to catch up on today's posts

Feeling low, H away with OW and hasn't seen his beautiful DCs for 7 days now. He needs to find somewhere to live within 2 weeks, whether it's Mancs with OW or near DCs in Herts. He also needs a job still and my finances are downright scary with the little help he's giving me So hoping I feel a little better tomorrow.

DutchOma · 05/05/2010 07:36

Sending prayers and hugs to TACP.
Keep reminding yourself that it is God who takes care of you in spite of your feckless husband. He will prove Himself trustworthy to you and you will see that all your worry has been unnecessary.

CaptainDippy · 05/05/2010 09:48

I think DO said it all TACP and prayers for you. Just keep looking at and concentrating on those beautiful boys of yours, eh!!?

Sorry Ds is ill again BES, you must be shattered Hope he is better ASAP.

OP posts:
teaandcakeplease · 05/05/2010 10:04

I have one of each. DS & DD

Off to mums and tots if I can find the energy to get dressed!

Thanks for your kind words DO.

madhairday · 05/05/2010 10:28

TACP, praying for you. God is in it with you - he is by your side.

Praying for Kay Harker. I really admired her posts, haven't seen her around for a while but she always talked so much sense and seemed lovely. Prayers for her and her family.

Please can you keep praying for my friend L's teenage daughter with anorexia. Can't really say details but they are having an awful and very frightening time atm.

teaandcakeplease · 05/05/2010 20:18

Thank you for prayers. Had a good day.

CaptainDippy · 06/05/2010 07:54

MHD - prayers for L's DD, so terrible

Morning all Feeling v.rough, girls bickering and fighting and off to Ikea today with friend.... Deary meeeeee ......

OP posts:
PositiveAttitude · 06/05/2010 08:16

Oh dear CD, hope you feel better and enjoy Ikea! DOnt spend too much.

Deed has been done by DH yesterday. He has given 3 months notice. Eeekkk! The meeting went better than it could have done and he doesn't think they are going to make life too difficult for him over the next 3 months. "Just" need a job now ..... simples!

DutchOma · 06/05/2010 08:40

PA That will be on the 4th August then, that the job turns up
CD I once heard that the quickest way to stop children bickering is to take the part of one of them, whether you think they are right or not. Then the one you've 'chosen' will tell you that it was her fault a bit as well and so the day is saved. I must admit I've never tried it.
Have a good time at Ikea.
Love and prayers to all.

MaryBS · 06/05/2010 10:28

DO, in my experience it just makes things worse! Because it then turns into a debate over "which child mummy loves the best". I tend to go for, well I don't know which one of you is telling the truth, so you're both going to have to be treated the same...

PositiveAttitude · 06/05/2010 11:05

DO you are so right. God doesn't seem to like making things easy, does HE? DH has holiday booked from the 30th July, so thats his last day. The last time we did this (madness) he got a job the day before he left the last one, so not expecting too much too soon, but it would be lovely to know!!!!

I hope all you lovely ladies are having a good day and DCs are behaving and sleeping well.

Prayers for the right election outcome and for all those people whose lives will change today when the outcome is not what they have campaigned for.

amberlight · 06/05/2010 14:31

Prayers continuing for each of you as I'm reading through.

Hermya321 · 06/05/2010 15:04

Hello everyone,

I went for my midwifes appointment today and I heard the heartbeat for the first time today. It was so so cool, God is very good. I had the quad test as well, prayers for a low risk result would be appreciated please.

Dutch Agree with you regarding TACP's prayer. God is good TACP and he will provide for you and your LO's.

Madhairday I'm praying for your friends daughter, I've had a bit of experience with eating disorders and I can tell that these guys are brilliant and are very helpful. Your friends daughter can come back from this and whilst it may take her a little while to get to a point where she wants to be well again. She can get better. I pray that God surrounds you guys with love and protection and gives you peace on this issue.

Praying for everybody else as well!!

BlueEyeshadow · 06/05/2010 22:56

I took DS2 to the doctor again and he now has another course of antibiotics and an inhaler, poor little mite! The hope is that the inhaler will clear his chest and that he'll grow out of the wheezy tendency. Praying that it works and for a good night tonight!

Also praying for the election and for all on here.

madhairday · 07/05/2010 10:14

Good morning everyone this historical day. Let's pray for the outcome of the hung parliament, that somehow it'll be the best one. dh was up til 5am, silly eejit so won't get sense out of him today.

Hermya, thanks for the link, will pass it on. So exciting hearing the heartbeat

Blue, poor ds2. I pray he feels better soon and the abs and inhaler kicks in for him.

TACP - continuing to pray.

I'm a bit upset this morning. dd's psoriasis has spread onto her face, it's pretty bad, and also this morning when I brushed her hair huge clumps were falling out. She also has an ear infection (has had constant probs with ears, 2 lots of grommets etc) and is having big probs with her teeth due to thumbsucking. So she is under the orthodontist, dermatologist and ENT doctor. So sad for her. would appreciate prayers.

MaryBS · 07/05/2010 11:12

My two are on antibiotics, having been ill all week. Praying for all sick children on here, and also their frazzled mummies and daddies...

I have psoriasis MHD, although thankfully not on my face (apart from the edge of the hair), but it IS horrible, I have every sympathy with your DD.

teaandcakeplease · 07/05/2010 14:25

Just a fly by visit. Please can you pray for my good friend Emma, she has 2 young children and a 3rd one on the way. She is in a very abusive and controlling marriage and things are escalating. Please pray for protectio, peace and that she finds the strength to leave him and also housing, money and help all come into place for her as she makes these difficult choices and decisions
