How are you today weegie?

Will pray for some energy for you MrsC.

My neighbour is hanging in there. she has her stitch in today so hopefully now things will hang on for a bit. She's not very well at all though

Having real breathing problems today so would appreciate prayer just to get through the day

JentlyDoesIt · 20/05/2010 19:45

Hello all,

Just flying by to say I am praying for you all and though I am not always on here, I think of you all often.

Weegie - please don't be hard on yourself, take time to relax and chill out. xx

Mary - I think you are quite splendid. That is all. xx

Captain - hope you are enjoying / enjoyed your time away xx

Prayers for all the poorly ones and those who know the poortly ones.

To add insult to injury here, DP was made redundant on Tuesday. Things are very very tough here. This comes on top of everything else that has gone on in the last year and I am not sure how much more I can take - I know that sounds selfish and DP is really suffering too. Please pray for even more strength than I think I have.

Off to bed soon. I also have a chest infection and am generally feeling rather sorry for myself. xx

DutchOma · 21/05/2010 08:41

Oh Jen, you darling. Commiserations coming your way, prayers coming your way. Just as you think you cannot take any more;-"underneath are the everlasting arms"

MaryBS · 21/05/2010 14:29

Thank you all for prayers and kind messages . Am praying for each of you here, and for all intentions...

teaandcakeplease · 21/05/2010 19:00

Having a bit of a rollercoaster. My H told me affair was over 2 days ago, I was relieved. Not because I now wanted to get back together with him but more for his salvation and so he could get his life back on track. As he has been so confused and in such a mess. However the OW turned up at his last night unannounced and has changed her mind. I've struggled today to be kind and patient and have had a tough day with my emotions all over the place. So please pray for peace for me. My 2 DCs also have chicken pox so they're both fairly hardwork of course being poorly... I wish my H had never told me of course, as I feel I've taken a step backwards. I didn't plan to want to now get back together but it was SUCH a relief and now I feel so cross about everything

I'm probably making little sense, but those of you on here who know my story hopefully understand. Please send a prayer up for me.

Sorry to be so needy again...

MrsCadwallader · 21/05/2010 20:44

Oh, TACP - I'm so sorry. Love and prayers for you, of course xxx

BlueEyeshadow · 21/05/2010 21:26

A selfish sounding request, but I really need a good night's sleep tonight and DS2 has woken once already.

Praying for all those with greater needs too.

madhairday · 22/05/2010 17:20

TACP - I'm so sorry, how confusing and hurtful for you. Praying.
BlueE, hope you got some sleep last night, not selfish request at all, will pray for sleep tonight for you too.
Mary, how are you?

I'm on a bit of a downer - got a letter from my lung consultant saying he'd reviewed my last CT scan and the disease has spread now. He was looking at lobectomy surgery to remove the most damaged bit but it's spread too far. I feel quite scared about it because it's a downhill slope. It is a disease that tends to degenerate. My energy is going down all the time and I am so worried about just not being able to do stuff as the dc grow up. I am sorry to moan. But would appreciate prayers - for energy, for hope, for determination to fight it as much as I can. thank you.

M44 · 23/05/2010 07:29

Peace and blessings to you all and have a very Spirit filled Pentecost!!!

(PS the conference was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!)

amberlight · 23/05/2010 09:14

Praying hard for each of you

MaryBS · 23/05/2010 13:09

Dear friends in Christ, would welcome prayer. Am seriously considering not going to church any more because I can't take the feeling of isolation I feel when I'm there. And its worse at social events. The worship is still good, but you all know how lonely I feel, and have felt. I'm on holiday 28th for one week, and think I will use the time in prayer while I make a decision. Another church isn't an option, because the church I would consider attending is the one where I've been hurt by the priest there. Its only a little thing that has happened, but its symptomatic of the whole problem, and I've had enough...

teaandcakeplease · 23/05/2010 13:37

Oh Mary praying for you x

MrsCadwallader · 23/05/2010 14:17

Oh Mary, I'm so sorry. Praying that you will be shown a way through. xx

amberlight · 23/05/2010 15:52

Mary, praying that the people in that church will find a way to feel your pain. Non-autistic people so often say they're amazingly empathetic compared to us...am hoping and praying that it's true and that they will care that one of their leaders feels so very alone in their very midst. You are a lovely person and you deserve to feel at peace there.

BlueEyeshadow · 23/05/2010 21:03

Thank you mhd. It was a slightly better night. DS2 has come out with another rotten cold today so we're back to square one again.

Also, my friend's nan's funeral is tomorrow, and I've got a slightly unpleasant doctor's appointment.

Praying through for you all, and hugs to all who need them.

MaryBS · 24/05/2010 11:58

Hope all goes well at the Drs BES...

Thank you SO much for your prayers, its a HUGE comfort to know you are all praying for me! Today's study group is looking at Pentecost. Just wanted to share this with you...

Without the Holy Spirit we have no life in us,
with the Holy Spirit we have the life of Jesus.
Without the Holy Spirit we become closed in
but with the Holy Spirit we reach out in mission to others.
Without the Holy Spirit we return to the Upper Room in fear and anxiety
but with the Holy Spirit we leave the Upper Room and witness to Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Let us pray today for ourselves and the entire Church that we may all be renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

BlueEyeshadow · 24/05/2010 12:54

Amen to that Mary! Really enjoyed the Pentecost service at our actual parish church yesterday (not the one we normally go to) although I'm not sure I could cope with it every week.

The drs was fine and it's out of the way now.

And, amazingly!, DS2 slept through from when we went to bed until morning last night, despite the heat and his wheeziness. So, thank you Lord and long may it continue!!

madhairday · 24/05/2010 15:45

That's so lovely Mary. Needed this today. Feeling a bit down about this latest scan still. But you're right. The Holy Spirit gives us so much strength. I do pray things will become better at church for you. I am sorry you feel so lonely there.

Blue, really glad ds2 slept so much

DutchOma · 24/05/2010 21:07

Just had a message from Kathy asking us to renew our prayers for Morgan. He is not doing so well and is back on a high dependancy unit.
The whole family are very grateful for our prayers and it is a strong witness that they know so many people are praying for them, even though they do not know them personally.

CaptainCaveman · 25/05/2010 09:26

Hello lovely prayer thread people

lots of sad news on reading down through the thread, and I have more of it myself! Neighbour who had the brain tumour passed away peacefully last Monday .

Work is generally doom and gloom with financial pressures abound (I work for the NHS). We found out yesterday that we are required to make around 50% management savings . Prayers much appreciated for this, and for the research proposal I'm writing which is due in this friday.

Prayers for you all, and may the Peace of the Lord blanket us all today

goatsclimbtrees · 25/05/2010 10:09

Please could you pray for the bereaved families and injured pupils involved in the school bus crash. We are a close community with many people affected,thanks

DutchOma · 26/05/2010 09:26

The news on Morgan is still distressing:- he now has a blood infection and it has been impossible as yet to insert a line into his veins for antibiotics.
Please continue to uphold him and his parents in your prayers.

madhairday · 26/05/2010 11:00

Praying for Morgan and his family, DO. Poor little boy.
goats - yes praying for all involved in the tragedy.

DutchOma · 26/05/2010 11:16

How are you MadHairDay?

MaryBS · 26/05/2010 12:09

Praying for Morgan and his family. Also for all those affected by the Keswick school bus crash. Praying for all those affected by job cuts, including you CCM - may God protect you from money worries!

How are you all, DO - you and yours, MHD and your health and feeling low, WM and your depression, BES and family health, Sooz and your family and financial worries, TACP and the emotional pain you are experiencing? And Amber? And anyone I've not mentioned (Dippy, etc)... keeping you all in prayer... Also, all you lurkers and infrequent posters - any chance of an update?

As for me, I've done some thinking, and trying to perceive God's will, and am feeling better for it. There's no doubt your prayers have sustained me and I thank you all PRAISE GOD!

We're off on hols tomorrow evening, staying in an hotel near Folkestone, before Eurotunnelling to France on Friday am... please God we have a good and relaxing time, may he keep us safe and well...
