I liked WW's opening, so I just copied it:
Here at the beginning of the New Year, just starting in the Chatham Islands, we bring our prayers before God.
Once again I begin with the prayer I used last year:
My God, my Creator, my Redeemer, my Love
Spirit pervading all creation, of which I am a part
Spirit which moves within me and unites me to that whole
May we grow towards unity
May we help each other in our daily needs, earthly, spiritual and emotional
May I learn to have compassion for myself and others
May I be open to the promptings of the Spirit
So that we all may live in peace and love and rejoice in the glory of creation.
Let it be so.
Prayers for all, the quick, the dead, the suffering and unhappy.

In the Methodist Church, we had our Covenant Service, where we renewed our promise to God. I've copied the prayer here in case anyone would find it helpful:
'I am no longer my own but yours.
Put me to what you will; rank me with whom you will.
Put me to doing; put me to suffering.
Let me be employed for you, or laid aside for you;
exalted for you, or brought low for you.
Let me be full; let me be empty.
Let me have all things; let me have nothing.
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to your pleasure and disposal.
And now, glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you are mine and I am yours. So be it. And the Covenant which I have made on Earth, let it be ratified in Heaven.
Amen.'

I’m getting more and more scared and panicky.
I posted a couple of weeks ago about my lower back pain/sciatica. It got worse over Christmas and I saw my GP the day after Boxing Day after several days of agonising pain. She prescribed painkillers that WORKED – great! The pain has now all gone – even better!
But… my legs don’t seem to be working properly. I have tingling in my left foot and part of it is completely numb, I have restricted movement in the foot, my leg feels weak and walking is an effort. I’m terrified some irreversible damage has been done and I’ll end up permanently disabled. The tingling & numbness are just in my left foot but both legs feel weak and heavy
The doctor arranged for me to have an MRI scan – it’s next Wednesday. I’m worried about that because I’m not good in confined spaces (I had one several years ago for something else so I know what to expect) and I’m also worried about what it’s going to show up.
Then yesterday I started to get tingling and a sort of weak feeling in my left ARM as well – that’s frightening me too. It doesn’t make sense.
I’m a compulsive worrier, I always have been, but this is really scaring me. Part of me says I'm just working myself up into a state and if I could calm down the symptoms wouldn't seem so bad, but the other part of me thinks something really serious is going on
Sorry to write so much but I haven’t got anyone else to talk to at the moment.

Sciatica can be SO disabling - I know, I'm a sufferer. And your symptoms do sound scary, so I can imagine how you are feeling. I am not a doctor, and so don't take this as advice, but I was having terrible pins and needles in my legs & feet with my sciatica, which, once I was over the worst (thanks to painkillers, stretches and gentle exercise), disappeared.
Don't apologise for writing a long post. The more info we have the more specific prayers can be. And I guess it helps you to organise your thoughts about exactly what it is that you are worried about.

Thanks for prayers, the Telemum had a very successful appointment and the consultant was pleased with the GP's thorough report. I am a bit worried that her osteoporosis treatment is being suspended but they are going to monitor her condition and not operate (from what she said it sounds like hyperparathydroidism, so nothing too serious) unless it worsens. We are all smiles.
The Finance Monster is sneaking around in the bushes and growling, though. Don't think I should have teased him like that.

On the old thread, I asked for prayer for my depressed alcoholic brother, A, who told me he was self-referring for treatment for his alcoholism. Good news is that they tell him he is doing so well ON HIS OWN, he just needs to get back into going to meetings
The downside - why does there always have to be a downside? - is that he told our mother he was trying to lose weight. He is already stick thin. Why does it seem as if when he gets on top of one bit of his mental illness, another one pops up somewhere else?
Lord have mercy.

Good news - have a job, or part of one. Working from home, flexi hours, part time for a charity, which works well for me. (But I have to be self employed, and pay my own stamp, which is complicated and scary.)
Bad news - since Boxing Day I've had a lot of pain in my leg (trapped nerve? sciatica?) which keeps flaring up, and stopping me from doing anything. Today is bad; I'm only remotely comfortable lying flat out with a hot water bottle.

Good news
A friend came round this morning to see look at the cleaning which needs to be done and mentioned there was a drop in centre for housing advice every Tuesday at 2pm. Guess where I've been - and they have been very helpful. The advisor told me that it sounds like she is being overly fussy and cannot dictate how or when I clean or tidy up. He advised taking photographs as proof that the house is not being neglected. He assured me that I would get assistance to deal with things should she want to evict me but it will costs her money and he thinks that if it is over cleanliness (not proven) then she may think twice.

I had a nasty fall at home on Boxing Day - my "bad" leg went underneath me. Things have eased a lot, I'm now able to walk again, though it's hit my confidence and I'm using the sticks even in the house. I'm getting a lot of prayer from 4 amazing young people, I also saw a physio tonight who gave me ultrasound on my knee. I've been on the sick, resting my leg as much as possible, but I'm back in work Thursday. I'd really appreciate prayer for my return to work!

When it comes to "Not letting anyone down" consider yourself too. You teach for goodness sake - isn't that enough duty and self-sacrifice?

For Ana - diagnosed with a cancer.
Her husband was my room-mate 11 years ago when I had cancer. She and her daughter lived at the hospital, nearly, doing a lot of personal nursing for Louie. They also kept me company, and advocated for me when they felt he and I were ignored or mistreated. Louie died in late 2002. He never made it home. But I've kept in touch and today I got the phone call. Apparently this stay put her in the same room as Louie and me, but in my bed.

I had my MRI scan today and it went really well – I felt quite calm. Having got that over, I feel slightly less agitated about everything, and the symptoms (tingling, numbness etc) although still there, don’t seem quite so bad. I’ll get the results of the scan next week and then presumably I’ll know whether I need to be worried or not…
Thank you everyone who prayed and responded to my post, it really helped…

Yay Robert Armin's job! For healing for the back trouble.
Yay for Nanny Ogg's lucky encounter! For a successful clean and meeting with the landlady.

I have to get stuff ready for a demo next week and as usual I'm scared about it. Need to put on the greatest show on earth!!!1!!!
For guidance in matters artistic and of the heart.
For the Telemum.
Visiting Cat spends so much time here that we really need to tame him (he may actually be feral) enough to be able to stuff him in a box and take him away for flea-powdering, worming, treatment of his irritated eyes, and maybe a little something for his anxiety and low weight, and of course neutering. Because nothing says "we love you and want to welcome you into our family" like kidnapping and surprise nonelective surgery to the nethers.
For general resolve and multiplication of my efforts in time management, money management, weight management, interpersonal relationships, career success, educational progress, and the overall not-screwing-up of my one and precious life. kthx

Emergency prayer request--
In about half an hour Mr. Lamb is planning to confront our old un-friend the Encroaching Creature, who (as those of you who've had to put up with my whining know) has had a major spite against us for some time and joined up with our old enemies of 2006 (the ones who led to my screen name). He has now apparently gone to our denominational authorities with bullshit about Mr. Lamb committing adultery (this is a revival of the old, old, OLD accusations from 2006, and needless to say completely a lie, then and now). Mr. L is enraged and planning to confront the whole boiling lot of them this evening without a friendly or even neutral witness present. Anything could happen, most likely added slander, but up to and including violence against him. Would you pray that the Holy Spirit overrules this whole bloody mess? God have mercy on us.

I received the wonderful news that it's time for my 6-month review. I have no reason to think that this will go badly, I seem to be doing my job pretty well and you'd think I'd know by now if we had any problems. But the Vietnam flashbacks are overriding my rational thought right now. Put together with the demos I have to show off to the customer next week, and I am struggling with anxiety and totally unearned shame. Rationally, the biggest danger is that my shame takes over and I end up stigmatising myself for no reason. (I hope that's the biggest danger.)

For duchess' Magician to find work and housing soon, and for the Girl and her friend A.
So I got a notice about my redundancy consultation today and freaked out. I had to break my façade of cool long enough to phone the admin, who said that both this, and the review, were completely standard as I'm six months into a 12-month contract. So, phew.
Second, I'm working flat out to get the demos ready and of course the last 1% of the work had to be absolutely monumental, didn't it? I still have to visualise it, rearchitect it, and deploy it and hello, fun weekend. I really need to impress Boss and Funders this coming week. Curse you, sickly pre-Christmas week, for delaying me unto this.
Oh yeah, and I'm also six months into a twelve-month contract. This means I have to start looking for work. Did I ever mention how much I enjoy that?
Of course, I always have the option of not worrying about any of this. Some spiritual help with that would be good.

I arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday, and have spent some wonderful last days with my Grandad and the rest of the family. On Tuesday, especially, Grandad was often awake and responsive, gesturing with his arm for hugs.
Grandad died peacefully earlier this afternoon, with Grandma and me both there to be with him as he passed. There's a sense of pain and loss at his passing, but above all a feeling of love while reflecting on the contribution he's made to my life and the lives of so many others.
May Grandad rest in the Lord and rise in glory. Please pray for me and all the passing as we adjust to Grandad's passing and prepare for his funeral.

I really don't need to cancel because of the snow.
Please pray for me on Tuesday - I have a disciplinary hearing because of my sickness abscences - 5 seperate occasions amounting to 13 days over the last 12 months. One part of me knows I don't really have anything to worry about as I am already seeing the Occ Health nurse who is very supportive, but another part of me is alternatively seething and panicking. I have even joined the union to have a union rep with me - she's someone I've known and liked for a number of years and her husband has MS, so she knows how the condition can affect.

Feeling rather scared right now for a daft reason - I've been offered a job.
At least, an agency rang up this morning and said they had a school reasonably near me that desperately needed a teacher and could I go for an interview tomorrow morning (the job would start on Thursday). I am really bad at thinking on my feet, so simply said yes. Since then I've looked at the school's website, and it doesn't look like my sort of place in all sorts of ways. So now I'm worried that I will be offered the job, I'll say yes again (because that's the easiest thing to do) and I'll be trapped in a job that isn't good for me and it will all end up in another meltdown. (Also, I thought I'd decided that it would be a bad idea to work in a school again.)
So, I'm confused and a tad panic stricken. Prayers, as always, would be much appreciated.

I have lost my passport.
It is in the flat somewhere, it just isn't in the place where it ought to be. The boy's passport is there, but mine isn't.,.. and seems to be nowhere in the vicinity.
To register as a supply teacher, I need to find it. And before Monday.
I'd appreciate your prayers for insight into what on earth I did with it (and why!) and determination in hunting for it.
Thank you

You're right - the last time I used it was for my CRB check in June. Where on earth would I have put it after that, I wonder. Thanks for triggering the memory, though. Crazy thing is, I have the copy of the photocopy they took of it, you'd have thought the passport itself would be there, wouldn't you?

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

My mother has a long-term disability and I have privilege (or not) as being the sole wager earner in the household and have been for the last few years (mum does get various benefits on top of which I pay board and lodgings).
To make things more complicated, I have just got engaged, which is lovely, however, my mum feels strongly that we should continue living in the family home even after we're married (divided off into a separate living area but still!)
My fiance, however much she loves my mum, wants to live somewhere close but not in the same house!
On top of all of this, mum is currently due to start studying part-time and was relying on my board money to help pay her tuition fees.
as the above suggests, I feel completely trapped and helpless. Any prayers would be great appreciated

As an ex-shop steward, among many other union roles I was constantly facing my boss and her bosses across the table. I was very careful to separate the role of an underling from that of a shop steward (where I frequently had to read the riot act to various management types). After a few times they got to know the difference, but they were still terrified when I went to their offices unannounced.
Prayers for you. You should get used to it. They shouldn't.
Posted by Heavenly Anarchist (# 13313) on

Yes, I was once a shop steward and can empathise with the difficulties. I was once told via the unit sister that my nurse manager didn't approve as she didn't think junior staff should be undertaking staff negotiations that would affect senior staff
I suggested that perhaps she became a shop steward then! On the whole nurse managers were helpful though as much of our union work was on professional issues.

This is relatively small but I my parents stubborness is getting to me.
Mum and Dad are both 84 and have colds. Mum's has gone on for over a week and seems to have settled on her chest. She has had bronchitus in the past. I am not really happy with Dad driving Mum to the doctors given that he too is ill (Mum does not drive). I have therefore asked Dad to ask for a home visit for mum just to check there is nothing to be concerned about.
Dad is not doing so at present. This is part of a pattern, there are other areas in his and mum's life that he could be helped with, if he would just ring up and say that he was there.
So main one is that Dad will actually get up the nerve to phone the surgery and ask. Second is for healing for them. Third wisdom for my sister and I in dealing with my parents.

Govt. department where #3 son works is undergoing a restructure. His name is pencilled in for a permanent job at higher salary, but word has gone out that such jobs need to be finalised quickly. If not finalised an extension on contract will not be granted to anyone. This means that things need to move and move quickly and his boss is trying desperately to push stuff along.
He really does not need this. He's just beginning to sort himself out after long term relationship breakdown and he's renting a town house, has children regularly and paying far more in child support than is required by Centrelink as he does not want his children to suffer poor housing, food etc.

In the hospital right now as Thing Have Gotten Worse. Nothing by mouth for...well, till the surgery, which could be tomorrow or the next day or ? Nobody's saying. And unless the insurance behaves in a spectacularly unbureaucratic way, it'll be TWO surgeries rather than one, as half of the procedure isn't okayed by them yet-- which mens waiting to do thatbit till it is. Double your money, double your risk... Dear God help.

Skype interview cancelled because I've already worked for the company - though I still don't know if I've got the job. The other went reasonably well, and I don't think I made a complete pig's ear of it, so I shall just wait & see. It depends too if the work they're offering fits into the days I've got free...

Meanwhile those in power are struggling to find a way forward politically, and if they don't manage it the whole situation could continue to deteriorate into more violence. Lord have mercy.

Prayers for an intention, please. I'm in a dead-end job in the kind of place people get out of as fast as they can, and I'd like to get out, too. But most people would say I'm lucky to have this job, because it's a full-time faculty job, and there are almost none of those left anywhere. I'd love to be able to return to the part of the country I still consider my home, but it seems the only way to do that (because I'd still have to work) is to leave teaching behind and start building a career as an academic administrator. I don't really want to, but I don't want to stay where I am, and every year the conditions for faculty get worse. I am urgently seeking guidance here.

Please pray for the family of missing student David O'Halloran. David's friends saw him catch a taxi back to his Uni Halls after a night out on 22 Jan, but David realised he didn't have enough money, so asked the taxi driver to drop him off early and he'd walk the rest. It was bitterly cold, and he had no jacket, but he didn't have far to go. Then David took a short cut and overshot, arriving at a dairy, where the night workers pointed him back in the direction of his halls. The original taxi driver, with another fare, then saw him near the entrance to his halls and thought it was odd that he was still out, but didn't think to stop. Then there's a sighting of him on CCTV, stumbling badly and apparently hypothermic near the river not far from his halls. And that's it. No further sightings.

Please keep praying for T, whom I mentioned a few days ago. He took an overdose on Monday somewhere where he thought no one would find him - but mercifully someone did, and he's now recovering, at least physically.
I haven't heard anything from P, which worries me as we're usually in fairly regular touch - please pray for her too.

A warm thank-you to anyone who prayed for my eye problems to be resolved. There's still some way to go but progress is noticeable each day, and it's starting to look as if the damage may not be permanent after all.
For anyone trying to get on top of depression
For the elderly, the isolated and the lonely anywhere
For refugees everywhere, trying to build a new life and start all over again. May they find a place of safety where they are welcome, and time to heal.

for my friend J, a teacher's aid who works with children with disabilities. He is recovering from a stroke and his employer of 15 years, the local school system, is now trying to force him (by charges already proven to be false) to quit which would plunge him into deeper poverty than he is now in. They've paid him so low all these years that he is eligible for food stamps. He has never had health benefits.

Today I received an e-mail from my friend L about how she spent Valentine's Day. In pertinent part (with suitable editing to obscure names) it read:
quote:
I was home with a migraine yesterday, but most of my day (once I got up “officially”) was spent negotiating terms to get a friend away from her verbally & physically abusive boyfriend. I certainly couldn’t go get her, and D [L's husband] wouldn’t have allowed me to go into that situation alone, so he went up to get her, and she wouldn’t go with him. He turned around and left, but then she called me again and wanted to go, so I called him and told him to turn around, which he did, and he brought her to our house, where she talked for a bit, then took a long nap, then had dinner with us, and then D took her home. (She lives with her mom due to not driving due to a car accident 5 years ago in which she sustained a brain injury, was out of work and in rehab for about two years, etc., so she can’t drive again yet, etc.) And not that anyone NEEDS to be punched upside the face/head, but a person with a brain injury especially does not need more damage to that area, along with the psychological goodies it brings.
Protecting a friend from abuse may well be the absolute best way to spend a Valentine's Day that I have ever heard.
I would request prayers for L's friend and also pray for the Lord to bless L. She has her own medical issues and problems and yet they don't stop her from standing up for her friends.

For me, for continued employment etc. I am very socially isolated now. I am feeling a bit resentful that I have to jump through so many hoops to make even the smallest connection with another person. My phone rang the other day and I eagerly grabbed it up; turned out my friend had accidentally butt-dialled me. That happened the last time she called, too. Six months ago. I also know what happens to people when they start to feel like I'm feeling right now: they become very undesirable friends to have.

{{{Lamb Chopped}}} let me add my hugs
Re my medical appt on Tuesday -- i had a Homer Simpson moment -- in other words, doh! it was only for my monthly bloodwork jabbings and to get my next round of chemo trial drugs (which, praise God, have not given me any adverse affects at all). The scans are March 19, not Feb. 19! (So I got up extra early and forewent breakfast for nothing!)
But they put it off for a week because of the results of blood work i'd had a week earlier for an entirely unrelated medical matter with my urologist. It was noticed in that blood test that my PSA levels were up so my oncologist wants to see what my PSA levels are when they jab me next week.
My prayer in this regard is that this wouldn't lead to something like having to have a medical procedure that would cause me to lose sexual functioning altogether. (Deficiencies in this regard are the main reason i went to see the urologist in the first place -- God has blessed me with wonderful health since my melanoma diagnosis and i'd like to be able to enjoy the life God had extended to me with a functioning body -- a meaningful relation with a significant other is perhaps not out of the question yet -- in any event, God's will be done, (S)He has not let me down yet!)

She knows better, but I think this is her way of coping. She's always been on the side of assuming the worst.
And she's making my life more challenging during an already very challenging time. lots of nastiness and threats. It's baffling and hurtful, but more I'm frankly worried about her. We used to be close, I love her dearly, and this behavior is concerning. I considered calling her husband to ask for some help but I'm sure that would send her even further over the edge.

Do they actually tell you that you have come in second? I think my wife, Z, is a victim of age discrimination, never mind that everybody and her dog in academia here wants to teach English language and literature which is what her seemingly worthless MA in education was all about. Like me, she is a supply teacher and earns about 7% more than I do though I suffered to finish my studies as an art major and undergraduate and she finished grad school near the top of her class... This is wrong!
We're going to be in a world of hurt later on this year if she does not sign a teaching contract with health care and other benefits!

For all on the Ship, and in continued thanksgiving for this wonderful prayer navy
for our sisters and brothers in the Roman Catholic church, particularly at this time, and that the good things that this Church has done may flourish -- may the Holy Spirit guide (as only the Holy Spirit can) the Cardinals as a new leader is chosen
For all suffering from depression
For any contemplating suicide
For all at the merciless mercy of economic dynamics
For Comet and for Ann -- how painful. God, I know something of the hurt of friendships damaged by unintentional misunderstandings
May Nicole's brother's job interview go well tomorrow -- please God, may he get the job
For Sir Kevin and Z -- may Z get a decent job with benefits
For continued good recovery for daisydaisy
For Niteowl and family
For Telepath and Telemum -- and that Telepath may get done what needs to get done, and know, with confidence, her positive strengths
Fot Telepath's L, R, K, G, S, and S
For Visiting Cat (btw will VC be getting a "tele" prefix any time soon?
)
For ArachnidinElmet's H and for the loved ones she leaves behind
For all who have died recentry
For ArachnidinElmet to successfully complete what needs to be done
For Kelly Alves' D and R
For my friend J recovering from a stroke and faced with having to leave his apartment and finding a relative to stay with because since he's not been working, he's not been getting paid!
For my cousin C that he may somehow develop a realistic mature plan for his future -- he already has an energetic approach to life, and is a person who is very helpful in so many ways to others (including me) -- he just needs to develop long-term goals and to understand that what might have worked for him at age 22 may not necessarily work at age 37
For my niece J who, due to finances, is considering doing something risky
In trying to correct my Homer Simpson moment in an above post I had another -- i.e., the prostate issue, while of prayerful concern as noted above, had nothing to do with the delay in my clinical trial. That delay was actually due to my blood platelet levels being low -- this happened once before and was no big problem -- they just waited a week and the levels were fine -- God willing that will be the case this time. ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)

It's a small thing, I know, compared with what so many people are going though, but if you could spare a prayer for my elderkitty. We've known for some time she was nearing the end of her life, but she's been doing so well - until tonight; she's had several convulsions and is too weak to move. At this point, I fear she'd die on the way to the emergeny vet, and I'd rather she passed at home.
So prayers, please, that she dies peacefully in her sleep. She's been part of our lives for 19 years.

My appointment with the gastroenterologist (sp?) is tomorrow morning. Please pray for me. I'm so very, very tired of having these symptoms and I'm afraid the specialist won't take me seriously (neurotic middle-aged woman etc). The GP just said 'oh it's IBS' and seemed reluctant to refer me, so I'm really hoping to get someone more understanding than that.

Please can I ask again for prayers for my three adult children.
Each of them is, in a different way, at a difficult place where important decisions must be made.
In the most serious case, health, and perhaps even life, is at stake.
Sorry, I feel I can't give details--I know it's easier to pray when you have something concrete in mind.

Thanks for your prayers for elderkitty, and for me and Mr. Red. We had her euthanized today, and we are in shock. She was with us through so many life changes, and I think the reason she resisted dying was that she was convinced we wouldn't have the sense to manage without her bossing us. She was probably right.
Thanks to God for the gift of a big soul in a small kitty body

I think I need to clarify this, if only for myself. Our lovely kitty died peacefully with me in attendance. We had intended to let her die at home, but when she began having seizures, we rushed her to the vet, who said the first seizure should have carried her off. She was a very determined little girl, always.
Just as one should never post drunk, one should not post when in shock. My apologies.

Thank you all so much for your prayers for my consultation this morning. When I got there, the receptionist couldn't find the booking so I was a bit worried, but she slotted me in to see the specialist. He was very good, listened to everything I said and answered my questions (even though I felt a bit silly asking some of them as I wasn't sure if they were relevant).
He's confirmed the decision to carry out a colonoscopy and I should get an appointment shortly. He implied that it'll be fast-tracked, due to my age and the fact that the symptoms have lasted over 6 weeks, which implies a risk of cancer. To be honest, I just want to find out what it is, so that I can start dealing with it - it's the not knowing that frightens me. The internet is a scary place if you start googling symptoms!
Thank you and Praise God for answered prayer. I feel more positive than I have in a long time. ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif)

I have had a viral infection for 8 weeks now, and seem to have picked up on another one on top of the first one. I feel really unwell, but my GP seems to think that a steroid nasal spray and some cough meds will sort it. I'm not optimistic, but I'm not medically qualified, so what would I know?
Please, of your charity, pray that my body can see off these infections and that I can begin to feel well again...it's gone on for long enough. Plus I have quite a demanding job of work I front of me. Plus I am going to have to let someone down as a result of the illness, which I HATE having to do, but I can't see any alternative.

Please pray that I can get trough the next couple of days cheerfully and thankfully, without snapping at MrD and others. It's only back pain after all. It could be so much worse.

My job saga continues. I might have a temporary job teaching English at a local school, for a term or two. Somehow this scares me, but I need the work (or, to be precise, the money).
Then another, permanent, job has come up as a school Chaplain. This I would LOVE to get, and will feel gutted if I don't get an interview, but there are lots of obstacles in the way.

I am very worried about Visiting Cat who came in yesterday with the right side of his face very swollen. If it is an abscess, he could die. But we have no formal responsibility for him, he wants no commitment, it will be very hard to catch him a) at all b) during veterinary open hours… it's a problem. And in general, I think his health needs looking at: he is skinny with a big appetite, so I fear he might have the thyroid problem that carried off one of our cats of blessed memory. Often his eyes look inflamed.

For a student in distress. (Many students in distress; please pray for them all; I am thinking of one student in particular.)
Telepath, for cat abscesses, try a cloth or paper towel soaked in hydrogen peroxide and applied to the area. Apply often, every few hours if possible, until the abscess opens up, then apply less often until it has healed. You'd think skittish stray cats wouldn't take the treatment, but they do, and they love you for it. It works wonders, even when the abscess is over the eye (the most dangerous kind).

Please keep in your prayers my pastor, who has suddenly taken a medical leave for medical issues linked to depression, and our pastoral intern, who now finds herself in the primary leadership position in our church (with assistance from our synodical bishop and his assistant)in our pastor's absence. This all happened without warning, and I suspect with more backstory than what was communicated to most of us. (Our pastor sent out e-mails and a brief pastoral letter for our website announcing his leave and his unavailability for the next month or so, and our intern reviewed it this morning for the assembled congregation.) So far people seem to be taking the news in stride and have stepped up to keep the work of the church moving along, but of course it's a jolt, especially for our intern.

Please pray for my dear friend, E. She's been a special needs teacher for many years, but the stress of her job is now affecting her health and she's considering a career change. She's also having to train an apprentice with an attitude problem, as if the pupils who spit at her and hit her weren't enough. May she have the strength to talk to her boss about the situation.

Then, Lord, let me feel your arms around me

Urgent prayers needed for Gigabites, a youth drop in centre which provides a meeting place for many young people in our area - and not just a place to hang out, but somewhere they can find acceptance and develope their creative skills through music and photography.
Gigabites is a charity and has run for over 12 yerars on grants, donations and, above all else, on prayer. It is at a financial crisis and may have to close. This will affect not only the 3 staff, but the 100+ young people who use it, and, indirectly, our town, as there will be no-where for them to go and they are likely to go back to just hanging around.
We need a miracle to keep it open.

Good news Huia! I'll keep praying for a complete recovery.
Years ago when I was a convert from agnosticism, an elderly nun told me to keep at it and to get down and pray on my knees until they calloused and that by then I would realise the power of prayer. She was being quite literal -- at 82 years old she had callouses on both knees.

In thanks for surprising good news and prayers for continued recovery for Huia's father
for a last-minute serendipitous inspiration for NE Quine to have a fresh presentation for the Sunday School lesson
continued prayers for comet's K, for Nanny Ogg, and for Siegfried and family
for all in their needs, recognized or not
in thanks for my cousin who, when he is in town helps bring more order into my ADD-addled life -- and that he may find a long-term productive focus for his life that utilizes his many talents
Please, continued prayers for my good friend J who continues to be targeted for persecution at his teaching assistant job. After giving 14 years of dedicated service in his special ed class (at starvation wages, he being eligible for food stamps) they want to toss him aside like a piece of scrap now that his mobility is impaired (only slightly, actually not enough to even affect the duties of his job -- they are just using it as an excuse). May he find good pro bono legal assistance to successfully fight this injustice. Despite his trials he maintains a good spirit, and his church has been a source of joy to him, especially with a new vicar whom he really is enthusiastic about.
In thanks for the coming of spring in my part of the world and thanks that i continue to feel vibrantly healthy a year and 4 months after the melanoma diagnosis, for my wonderful medical team, and prayers that i may be organized enough (including getting a reliable car that i can financially deal with) to make positive and productive of the life God continues to bless me with.
For the new Pope Francis (what a wonderful name!) for his continued good health and strength that he may be an inspiration -- for all Christians, for all who worship God, and for all people of good will who care about their fellow humans -- to seriously make a crucial priority the heavy burdens of the majority of world's people who are poor.
Hear our prayers, loving God. And thank you, God, thank you for your many blessings.

I have my quarterly PET scan Tuesday -- may it go as well as the previous ones
Going thru mail just now that i should have opened earlier this week, i've come upon an unsettling situation. Forgive this overly long complicated explanation but i don't know how to express my concern more briefly. It seems to be a weird case of dueling urologists. . . .
A)
I was referred to Uro A by my wonderful oncologist for a non-cancer-related and non-life-threatening concern that i had mentioned to my oncologist. Uro A said there wasn't anything to be done for me "at my age" that didn't involve invasive surgery and either go for that or forget about it. My impression was that he really didn't seem interested in helping me at all. Given what i have experienced in my own body that seemed a rather extreme approach. So i got referred to uro B who was just the opposite -- very caring and interested and no word of anything surgical. (I asked uro B why uro A was so unhelpful and he, with a smile, seemed to imply that uro A was only interested if he could do surgery.)
B)
Anyway, i'd gotten a notice from uro B that my PSA levels were elevated which might or might not indicate prostate cancer, and since i'd not been tested for this before, he wanted me to get a second blood test to see how the levels were. OK, that made sense.
C)
But I just opened a notice from uro A whom i'm not even seeing now, saying he wanted to do a biopsy, apparently based on that one test result. Given uro A's apparent propensity for cutting, that seemed to me a bit hasty based on not even waiting for the second blood test which i am getting this week.
***
Monday i am going to try to find out what's going on. I'm sorry for such a long explanation but i couldn't figure out how to express my problem any more briefly. I'm a bit nervous (a wee bit scared?) about this and prayers would be appreciated.

My lovely Uncle Ray died on Monday morning after a (thankfully brief) battle with cancer, aged 80. We knew it was coming but still sad.
Prayers welcome. Including for my aunt - they were married for over 55 years so it's going to be quite a shift for her. And whilst we're thankful he didn't suffer for long, he was hale and hearty last summer so it's all been a bit of a quick shock.
And for my dad (his brother-in-law) who had known him for most of his life and who has had a few friends die recently so I think is particularly aware of his own mortality at the moment. (He's 76.)

Malino has surgery tomorrow afternoon to put in grommets to help with his bilateral glue ear which makes him mildly deaf. It has been affecting his speech and language and so his communication and frustration levels. It will be great for him to hear properly.
BUT he is only 2 years 9 months old and it's a general anaesthetic so scary for me.
Please pray his cold is not so bad it prevents the operation tomorrow.
Please pray he is safe and calm and not in too much pain.
Please pray it is effective and we can support him as he adjusts.
Thank you.

I'll get the scan results next Tuesday. BTW i was mistaken about the "dueling urologists". The very patient-friendly medical person who was the 2nd person i saw turns out to be, not a doctor, but a medical assistant to the urologist whom i thought was rather dismissive of my concerns. But i believe any possible prostate cancer would not be an expansion of the melanoma, but would be something separate and comparatively less serious. Anyway they appear set on the prostate biopsy after one blood test. I wonder if a 2nd opinion is in order.
Of course i want to do the right thing medically. In the meantime, God surrounds me, and thanks for the prayers.

That i keep my perspective -- after all i feel 100% physically healthy a year and 4 months after my original diagnosis -- which so many in a similar situation cannot say
for the abovementioned in a similar situation who are suffering in a way that i am not
That, since i've been so physically blessed, i get off my arse and start making productive use of the gifts with which God has blessed me.

I am gutted.
I have been working temporarily in a school where I seemed to be well appreciated by colleagues and children alike, seemed to be making a positive difference, put lots of extra hours and effort in, and felt very much that I wanted to work there. But in trying to get them to be a little more specific about how long they envisaged the role lasting, even in the short term, I would seem to have pushed them into saying "As you can't cope with the uncertainty then we've decided not to employ you any longer". So from seeming to be settled in somewhere that felt like it was where God wanted me to be, I suddenly find myself frantically trying to find employment so I've got an income after the Easter holidays (for which I'm now not being paid, of course). I haven't even got time to lick my wounds.
Please pray for wisdom for me, and for the a chance of some security. I'm feeling a bit tired of living an "interesting" life.

update on my friends in various states of disrepair. K is awake... ish. he's out of the coma but not really lucid yet. he is still in ICU and we have no idea how much brain damage may have happened yet. his father flew in last night, so yay he has family nearby which is good.
D is also in ICU (we need a wing down there!) after initially looking like the luckiest guy alive to have been run over and escape unscathed - turns out he was scathed after all. internal bleeding from various organs, not yet stabilized. scary stuff.
also - a local woman who just recently survived a double mastectomy had a massive stroke and is apparently essentially waiting to die. She is someone I had words with many times over her behavior - I was not in the wrong nor was I over the top about it - but I still have a wee bit of guilt over the whole thing.
and now a former co-worker of mine from my radio days appears to have lost the plot and I've been having to help his daughter get him checked out and maybe committed. not fun.
no one else is allowed to get hurt or sick!
praying through, always.
PS - another current co-worker is now being checked for MS. if he gets a diagnosis, that makes 4 of us at a business that employs about 20. think there might be something going on there? just maybe?
prayers for him, too, please.

May that still be the case, or even better, may they be totally gone.

In thanksgiving for good scan results -- situation basically unchanged, a very good thing.
for tomorrows's visit to the urologist re my prostate -- i am nervous, may i ask the right questions, and make the right decisions and may the urologist not be as cold and somewhat dismissive as i have gotten the (mistaken?) impression that he is
But i am still in a state of shock over some very sad and totally unexpected news i got today while getting my scan results. I've mentioned how great the medical team is, in particular the nurse and the physician's assistant i mostly interact with. I learned from the physician's assistant that JL, the wonderful nurse, is no longer there. She is getting ready to enter a hospice. She has a cancer for which there is absolutely no therapy for, surgical, chemical or otherwise. I had no idea. I had just talked with her during my last month's visit. The news has utterly floored me. Prayers for JL and all who care for her.

For continuity of health insurance for Sir Kevin and Zeke. For resolution of other financial, health and vocational problems.
For nicolemr and her family.

(Visiting Cat came in for breakfast yesterday morning all clean and dry. His anxiety seems to be greatly reduced, and he is far more communicative; a psychological breakthrough if you ask me)
I found a copy of The Money Diet for 25p today… it was sticking right out of the bookshelf, waiting for me to pick it up. Talk about swift provision of guidance
Now let's see how helpful it would be if I actually did it

Thank you so much for your prayers for my disciplinary meeting. On investigation, there wasn't enough evidence to take formal action against the employee. Instead,we have agreed a number of informal measure that should (hopefully) protect both him and our customers. He seems to attract random complaints about his behaviour, that are sometimes justified and sometimes the results of a lack of confidence. Now I just have to twll mu boss, who wanted to me to throw the book at him!

Thank you for praying - soon after, Truffles settled and, although in pain, had a calm night. The vet has seen her, and treated her for a bite. She's just had supper/breakfast so must be feeling a lot better already

My Uncle died on Easter day. He had been gently slipping away for some time.
A gentle man with learning difficulties, he never lived independently but despite his disability I feel he led a more contented life than many. As long as he had his railway magazines and books, his music and a box of Quality Street sweets he was happy. A loved member of our family. To reach 73 years when you were so ill at age 8 that you were expected to die is not bad going.

ex-bf called his daughter and let her know that he moved out of state because he loves someone there, that this person has a daughter "HER AGE WHICH KILLS HER" so she JUST found out his sneaking out of the condo with me moving and the fact he is out of state. She did not take this well. She called me and cried hard, barely talking, sobbing. I am having to try not to trash talk about him but just help her focus on getting through this. Can you pray for her? It was a tough call but my friend that was right there told me "I said all the right things" so I praise God for that. I wish she was close enough for me to hug but I told her to go love on her mom and her mom's boyfriend. I hope God is using this to make a fat lump of coal (me) into a diamond. This has been hard for me as I want to drop kick him badly to the other side of the world, but I try to be gracious for this dear one. <insert kicking butt image of her dad here>>

Psychic phenomena and all sorts.
So, I didn't want to get too tedious about praying away the Finance Monster, and now I have spent all of my money.
Not being my own worst enemy is something I constantly have to deal with, it seems.
Or not. I may have to start looking for work this month. One of the places I was planning to apply to has added to its staff a person who tried to do me serious harm a number of years ago - on a scale of lawbreaking and life-ruining, just to be clear, I'm not talking about a mere personality clash. One way or another I really would prefer that our paths not have to cross again and that this person doesn't restrict my career options any more than they already have - not by their hand nor mouth nor eye, and not by my own justified or unjustified fear.
Actually, it would be nice if I just didn't have to look for work because my funding had come through.
Speaking of funding, I would really appreciate funding for a special project on which I have hung my entire self-worth as a person. Because all that stuff about humans having intrinsic worth - in the face of this project, that's just for the birds. I can be a worthwhile person who's finally proved their worthfulness by mere association with this project, or I can be a dreary, average piece of human flotsam and jetsam along with the rest of the unwashed masses who haven't been part of this project.
Pride, you say? I don't think so. That's not part of my personal brand.
For two private ambitions.

They recently suspected that N's skin cancer was back after succesfully removing/fighting it a few years ago. Tests earlier this week confirmed the return, and he's having an operation today to try and remove the melanoma, which will probably also require a skin graft due it being the second time round on the same area of the body.

The main problem is that the place is not ready until 14th April but my housing officer will contact my landlady and ask if it is OK for me to stay here until then. As she will have to get a court order to officially evict me even if she says "no" I should stay put.

Silly prayer request perhaps: our heating died this morning, the caretaker did what he could. (ETA: No, it wasn't his fault - I meant, he did all he could to help!
) However, the heating maintenance peeps were informed too late, so they can only get and install a new pump on Monday - which means a weekend with no heating at all, and outside temps plummeting to near freezing.
I'd appreciate your prayers that I could get enough electric heaters to keep me going until Monday. Luckily, the power works and the warm water boiler is electric, so at least that's not a problem. The landlord will have to reimburse the extra 'letricks.
Note: I'm beginning to understand people who cannot afford heating - this must be absolutely terrifying. At least we're bound to get that back on Monday - or so we hope.
Many thanks!

Meanwhile I pray that my wife's incredible strength will not fail her; I pray to keep my sense of humour intact; I pray for the surgeon who will clean up my body's toxic waste sites.

Mrs Sioni's 15 year old neice was attacked a few days ago when she was walking her dog. It was broad daylight when this man who had been following her, grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Fortunately she kicked, scratched and screamed, and then the dog (small but brave and loyal) joined in, so the man ran off.
She is physically OK and like the whole village relieved that the police have apprehended "a suspect", but it's the emotional trauma that will take some healing.

Because it is 2 bedroom I will have to pay the "bedroom tax" but having spoken to someone from the Housing trust on Friday it is no more than I have to find to live in this 1 bedroom place.
Please pray for patience as I wait to hear officially and sign relevant papers. Also pray for me as I try to sort out utilities and housing benefit/council tax.
I'd also appreciate a small prayer for funds to be able to buy essentials such as a cooker, washing machine, carpets and furniture and/or transport to pick up such things from Freecycle and similar sites as well a pay for a "man with a van" to move my stuff.

A woman who lives in Australia, AJ (not her initials) with whom i am in cybercommunication on another message board has, like me, metastatic ocular -- eye-originated -- melanoma (which is rarer and somewhat different than the more well-known cutanaceous -- skin-originated -- melanoma, but equally serious when it metasticized). As i have mentioned here several times, one and a half years after my diagnosis, i still feel in great health and the tiny metastasis has not progressed significantly in that time. I can probably attribute this wonderful situation to the fact that just in the last couple of years a couple of extremely hopeful treatments have appeared -- in particular one called ipilimumab (Yervoy).
For some reason the Australian Ministry of Health is way behind the curve on ocular melanoma compared to other "developed" countries. Yervoy and similar treatment are ignored and not available to people like AJ. (Without it being an approved drug Yervoy costs 30,000 US dollars per infusion -- yes, thousands) As a result people in Australia with ocular melanoma are looking at life's end. Yet she maintains a surprisingly life-affirming attitude.
When i compare AJ's situation to mine it breaks my heart. My strong prayer is that somehow this situation can change for AJ (and others in the same situation) before it is too late for her.

Starbug - you will be in our prayers on Monday. Everyone will tell you that the day before is the worst! The preparation is no fun, but the procedure itself is usually easy, though a bit undignified.

I have a bug, I'm on antibiotics and 'complete voice rest' while I recover. But I have a 4yr old and a 2yr old and a poorly husband which is making the voice rest very difficult and rest itself almost impossible. I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but we'd appreciate prayer.

Starbug - you will be in our prayers on Monday. Everyone will tell you that the day before is the worst! The preparation is no fun, but the procedure itself is usually easy, though a bit undignified. If you have good nurses they will get into the spirit of it and laugh with you, and it will be over quickly.
Yes, I echo this. I had a colonoscopy - many years ago now - I was shaking with fear at the thought of it but the actual procedure was far less of an ordeal than I expected. Will be thinking of you on Monday, Starbug

Prayers please, my whole right leg is giving me grief. Sore heel which is slowly getting better, but still hurts when I walk, a knee which causes me pain from old injury has decided now is the time to flare up and now right hip seems to want to join into the mix. One thing at a time I can live with, but all three at once is making me very grumpy. No doubt part of it is that the pain is keeping me awake. So healing along with an uplift in my attitude would be most gratefully received.

Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for me yesterday. I don't remember anything at all about the colonoscopy! Just a bit sore around the middle today. And the good news is that I definitely don't have cancer! That was the first thing the specialist said to me afterwards. He's taken some biopsies and I'll get the results in 3-4 weeks, but I'm really not so worried now. Thank you all for your prayers; I'm so grateful for your support.
Stercus Tauri, I pray that your operation will go well tomorrow.

A while back I asked for prayers for my three adult children, each of whom has been going through a difficult time in different ways.
Thank God, and thanks to all your prayers, there are positive changes in each one's life now. (I will mention this on the Praise thread too).
The one whom I mentioned as having a possibly life-threatening disorder has made a huge turnaround for the better, and the issues the other two were dealing with are also beginning, it seems, to reach some resolution.
Although I know it's harder to pray for people without the details that make their stories more real, I feel it's not my "stuff" to divulge here....but we're not out of the woods yet.
I ask for your continued prayers for these young people so very dear to me -and to many others.
I am starting to think there really is something in this prayer business.....I give thanks for the faith and sustained prayer I see here on this thread every day.

For continued employment for me, ideally a) in my current post or b) in the same institution and geographical area (but at least as good) or c) somewhere just as good. I LOVE that I'm in the place I'm in now. But if there's no more funding to be had I'll have no alternative but to go somewhere else.

Okay... The Telemum just confabulated something, which she has never done before.
She quickly deconstructed the mistake, and she was cognitively overwhelmed at the time (this is someone who, throughout my life, has experienced writing the grocery list as an agonising ordeal taking several hours). But still, confabulation? (there was a power cut and she told me the electric company had called her back to say the power was back on, and that she had come upstairs to tell me this; in fact the electric company had only said they *would* call, and she had come up to tell me what they had told her).
She's got hyperparathyroidism for the last six months and is having a small operation to remove the growths in just under three weeks. This better just be a symptom of that. We don't want any dementia here. We ADHD-sporting folk are daft enough without it.

I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting to have my prostate biopsy in 20 minutes. Not as serious as melanoma, but my 3 prayers are that it not be too painful, that it may be negative (or, if positive, of the kind so slow moving that nothing needs to be done except monitor it), and my functioning in that area remain OK -- and that my urologist may be a bit more user-friendly than he has seemed to be so far.
And tomorrow I have an unexpectedly-scheduled MRI to look at my liver -- hopefully nothing but the liver is not a good place for ocular melanoma to metasticise to, so i'm nervous. The gastroenterologist wants it because he saw spots in the liver (which may very well be nothing) from my previous CT scan, ordered by my oncologist. The oncologist said my CT scans were fine, and said nothing about spots on the liver. So, God, please may your wonderful upholding of me continue.
And thanks be to God for this prayer navy, you are the main people to whom i bring these concerns to verbally (even more than my wonderful church family) and having your prayers is a real comfort and strength. (And when Telepath says "Melanoma be gone!" i feel like a punch is being delivered to those naughty cells). Thank you so much, shipmates.

well, the prostate biopsy was definitely rather unpleasant though by no means agonizing and i feel fine 2 days later (they numbed me up about 95% beforehand but what is their aversion to good old sedation -- that 5% unpleasantness is not something i hope i have to go through again any time soon without sedation) I'll know results tomorrow or monday, but it is more likely than not that i do have prostate cancer. That really doesn't worry me particularly since it's no where as serious as melanoma. (It would be nice if it were the kind that only needed monitoring-- but i really am not stressing about it. in any case) I am more concerned about what yesterday's MRI shows, i pray that the spots on my liver do not turn out to be metastatic. The odds are against it but until i hear for sure i am nervous.
Although even in that worse case scenario there are so many hopeful developments that there weren't just a couple of years ago, so i feel fortunate in any event. Thank you folks for your prayers and for letting me have a place to yak about what is happening with me, since since i really don't dwell on it elsewhere -- i don't want to talk about it much with folks face to face. I prefer to enjoy a normal life, having myself been set free from a toxic workplace!

And what Stercus Tauri said.
A friend sent me the Prayer of Istikhara, which is Islamic but should be a good fit for everybody of an Abrahamic persuasion:
"Oh [Lord],[1] I ask You to show me what is best, through Your knowledge, and I ask You to empower me, through Your power, and I beg You to grant me Your tremendous favour, for You have power, while I am without power, and You have knowledge, while I am without knowledge, and You are the One who knows all things invisible.
"Oh [Lord], if You know that this undertaking is in the best interests of my religion, my life in this world, and my life in the Hereafter, and can yield successful results in both the short term and the long term, then make it possible for me and make it easy for me, and then bless me in it.
"If not, then turn it away from me, and make it easy for me to do well, wherever I may happen to be, and make me content with Your verdict, O Most Merciful of the merciful."
Usual stuff re: job-hunt. Feeling pretty discouraged this evening.

Your cancer is just as important and just as difficult to deal with as anyone else's! Recent treatments for cancers caught in time are amazing. I don't know if cancer responds to prayers, but I do know better than many that people respond to them. Know that you are held in this strong safety net that has been stretched out for me for the last few months too.

Still trying to get a subcomponent of my work project done. It turns out that this isn't even a solved problem and I might have to be the first person in the world to figure it out. It's a project in itself. I don't know how I'll get everything done.
Generally, I'm tired of living in fear about my work. I don't understand why it has to be this difficult, all the time. I guess the answer is that that's one of the things I still have to improve about myself.
Sooner or later the Telemum will die and I will be a single person with no family, no partner, and no geographically close friends. I spend every waking moment trying to prepare for that. It's exhausting. I can never do enough.
I should be dragging myself out on online dates or whatever, but I don't have the time or money and I don't have the discipline to force myself through such an unrewarding process.

They didn't want a Christian funeral as mum wasn't 'religious', but it has to be held in a church because the crematorium's chapel is closed; they are struggling with this as well.

(copied from Praise & Thanks thread) I give thanks that yesterday's visit to the doctor treating my melanoma went well. The MRI results showed my liver remains clean!!! [Yipee] And my melanoma treatment will not be affected by any treatment for my newly discovered prostate cancer (generally a much less iffy thing than melanoma). And i heard some good things related to choices in dealing with the prostate thing that have me feeling more confident about that. And I feel very healthy.
Right this minute I'm sitting in the exam room waiting to talk to my urologist about what the options are in dealing with the prostate cancer. There are many possible options. While he is very competent i still have concerns about how sensitive my urologist is about my concerns outside the most narrowly medical. Though I could be wrong (having mild Asperger Syndrome I may not correctly interpret unverbalised body language cues). And I really want a second opinion. Please God may I find the best source for a second opinion, and please God, may I make the best choices.

I need for God's Wisdom to guide me.
I really need guidance and discernment and communication skills as pertains to the medical specialist who is dealing with my prostate cancer. I believe that he is an impressively excellent physician of the first order on a purely physiological level. He has laid out for me my several treatment options in a concise and understandable manner.
However i cannot escape the strong feeling that he lacks sensitivity to my concerns, and that he jumps to unwarranted conclusions about my attitude and seemingly belittles my concerns. It is to the point that I get the feeling that he thinks that I, by having these concerns, am somehow in a bit of denial about the importance of my condition, which is emphatically not the case. If he is implying this i feel that is a insulting as well as insensitive. But i don't know for sure.
Being able to have a positive attitude (thanks be to God!) has blessedly helped me as I go through my medical adventures. As I am interpreting it (and i could be wrong) his attitudes seem to run counter to this. Yes i am sure there are other equivalently skilled specialists out there -- and one of my prayers is that i am able to find such a person from whom to get a 2nd opinion and then make the wisest choice(s). But even if i can (or should) switch specialists, i really would like to be able to intelligently communicate with my current specialist.
Am i understanding the situation correctly? Can he understand and respect my concerns? Can he can understand that has no grounds to think that by having my concerns i am in a state of denial about the reality of my medical condition? I do very much respect his clinical skills.
What has helped me so far in my medical adventures has not been being in a state of denial. Rather being able to maintain a realistically positive perspective is vital.

The meeting turned out not to be a problem in its doing, everyone being nice. But things had been done behind the scenes that could be questionable, not in right ordering. People appointed without election or approval by the properly appointed committee. Things will be better organised - rather like the trains running on time in Italy, maybe.
It will be interesting to see how things develop. I won't be so panicky next time.

I have no end of work to do before the funding runs out, Boss thinks that adding another subproject will be the best pitch for getting more funding, but I need wisdom and discernment about how to spend my time next week and how to set expectations. I also have to get some kind of journal paper ready or bust.
Regardless of when I finish this post I want to finish it with both personal and project success. This is the Institute of I Don't Want To Screw This Up In Any Way, Shape or Form.
One way lies riches (well a modest income), fame (well another journal paper) and happiness (well except for the part where I'm sitting here on a Saturday night worrying about this). The other way lies failure and disaster (well a damp squib of mediocrity and an inadequate publication record). I just don't know how to please everybody. I'm just one person with human limitations, bound to Euclidean space time like everyone else.

Please pray for the repose of Lois, known to our community as Granny. She died this morning after struggling with various illnesses that come with advanced age. I dont know how old she was- in her 90s somewhere.
Granny was everyone's granny, (even her peers called her that) but she chose children to be her "babies" -children she cared for in her home and treated as her grandchildren forever. One every five years or so became her new "baby". Chasee#3 was her last baby before her health became too challenging. Others of her babies- aged 30 to 16 or so, are all checking on him tonight. It's sort of a special club. He's still in shock and cant really believe his Granny isnt here. So please also spare a prayer for him and the other babies, as well as her 3 daughters and her blood grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She was a devout Christian*, the strongest person in their faith I have ever known, so the prayers would be very meaningful to her.
We've lost a treasure, today.
*she used to call me her "little papist" after seeing my orthodox icons. I think all "older" denominations were the same to her!

I have applied for 5 jobs today, but it was a very discouraging search. I also think the new online system has transposed some details from last year's applications, and also, partway through, the system started hiding the job descriptions. I thought they just weren't there, so I made the applications without benefit of detailed job descriptions, then realised the system was just hiding them and I had to find a roundabout way to get them.
I don't necessarily think these are unrecoverable errors, but I had no choice but to email 3 of the hiring managers explaining that outdated information could have got through. EMBARRASSING
Once an application's been made, it can't be recalled. There aren't many chances out there right now, and I don't want to blow the ones I have.

For the Telemum, who is cross because her cataracts have regrown and she can't see a damn thing or read or anything.
I have to go in tomorrow and explain to Boss that there are enough hours in the day for me to make the project succeed, but not enough to do the dazzling demo that he wants as proof of concept to get more funding. I just can't physically do both in the time I have available.
I'm going to write a new prayer called the GRAR prayer.

That went remarkably well. They knew I was coming in angry and had a whole plan set up to fix things. I never had a chance to air my grievances, but that can happen later. They are bending over backwards to fix this. So no dragon lady roaring for me, today. I almost feel cheated.

So minor in the scheme of things, but I'd really love some prayers for energy and focus this week. I have some marking, some of my own studying as well as my day job, also some practical stuff to sort out; once the marking is out of the way I will feel so much more equipped to do everything else but I'm currently at the overwhelmed and wading through treacle just thinking about it all stage.
I also need to have a conversation with someone at work this week which should be OK but will be on my mind until it happens; prayers that what I need to say comes out right would be great
Finally I'd really appreciate prayers for my parents. I chatted with them earlier today; they are in the middle of a nasty dispute with their neighbours which at one point led to my dad calling the police. My mum in particular is really upset and I'm worried about them both. They are doing all the right things, but it's still a horrible situation to be in.
Thank you so much.

Please keep both of them in your prayers - healing for him so that he can do the things he used to be able to do would be wonderful.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I got my biopsy results yesterday and was given the all clear. No cancer, Chrohn's Disease or any other 'sinister' conditions, as my specialist put it. He siad it could be IBS, but unless the symptoms were really bad it wouldn't be worth going through all the tests for food allergies etc. Things are pretty good at the moment, so I'm going to leave it there.
Thank you for your prayers and also to everyone who sent me and emails as well. I really do appreciate all the support.

It's my mum's 70th birthday on Sunday, and we're having a weekend of celebrations. Sounds wonderful, but she suffers badly from depression for which she refuses to seek any treatment, and so the whole thing will feel awkward and alien to her. We couldn't not celebrate, but I'm very, possibly excessively, aware of the potential for everything to go badly wrong.
Also, there are things I need to do today when I'd rather just mooch around getting my energy levels back up after a fortnight on antibiotics.

The Telemum is fine, please pray that the operation will have brought her complete healing. In particular, her calcium regime for osteoporosis is going to be an issue needing correct handling.
For T., just now being reunited with his daughter, who is now 31, and who went into the adoption system when she was 5 due to circumstances entirely not of T's making. She is overwhelmed with the emotion of it all, and he gets to be worried about her shenanigans like driving despite having a seizure disorder, etc.
For R. The doctors think he may not have much time left, and they've been saying that for ages, but it could be true this time. I'd like to find the strength to go see him before it's too late.
Oh look, see how many days I've missed? I really need good time management here. It's working! But the road to forming this complex habit is long. And meanwhile I don't have nearly all the being an adult-type life skills that a successful grown-up style adult like me should be sporting.
Overwhelming pressure to get gorgeous demos out!!! Job hunting!!! No time to lose!!! Also I have an interview on Wednesday. And I need to publish.

As for me:
I spoke to mum a little while ago. Marrie Currie are now getting her a blue badge and a wheel chair and she could hardly speak for 5 mins on the phone because her breathing is deteriorating. Please pray for her and our family, especially dad. It seems like we are approaching the end game now. I need to be able to find time and energy to visit and for mum and dad not to feel like I am a burden in anyway.

The Telemum is tearful and morose today. I expect it's the general anaesthetic - I was like this the 4th day after I had my appendix out - but I keep reading about (especially elderly!) parathyroidectomy patients who went into DEEP DEPRESSION after the surgery and went into a DECLINE and were NEVER THE SAME.
All unscientific, all anecdotal, but anyway the point is I want the Telemum to feel better, not worse...

Okay, I'm declaring today StuffIHateSunday.
I got up at a reasonable hour, cleaned the loo, changed the beds, did the laundry, vacuumed the floors, emptied the bins, tested the fire alarms and cleaned the kitchen.
Then I did a strenuous aerobic workout, washed behind my ears, got dressed and nibbled a healthful and flavorful lunch.
Bonus points to the Telemum who made a phone call she has been dreading for weeks, putting an end to the terminal decline I thought she was in yesterday.
Now I have to prepare for my interview
on Wednesday. In keeping with my principles of radiating inner calm and leading a blissfully organized life, I would like this to be fully completed by 7pm so I can enjoy some work-life balance, perhaps with a family quilting bee or something like that.
There better be a BIG PAYOFF for all this self-discipline and healthy living, is what I'm saying, because none of this is the sort of thing you get rewarded for in heaven.

The interview today went really well, and I will be surprised if they don't offer it to me - so if You think I should have it, Lord, let them offer it to me *and not keep me waiting too long*…
PLUS they said that IF they offer it to me they would be able to partially fund my side-project
One more addition to the HORDES of people who are trying to interview me. If this continues I'll have to start putting a blanket over my head every time I leave the house. Seriously though - it takes time away from my current project, which I must not screw up.
Telemum had a high blood pressure reading today. Please pray that it goes straight back down again. However, they also say she's not getting any kind of dementia, which is great to have confirmed.

Please pray for "Karen" and all the long-term over-50 unemployed in the US. There is no social safety net any longer.

Why aren't people talking about age discrimination at a major level? I have been unemployed for more than five years. I have had training to add new skills to two degrees. Training and education mean nothing if no one will hire you. I live in a "right to work" state where corporations can do anything and government is in collusion in perpetrating this endemic discrimination ...
Companies aren't afraid of older workers -- they can and do anything they want. I have done everything a person can do to get a job and survive. I'm a woman alone and nobody cares. That's why the suicides have gone up drastically.

and ((((thanks, malik3000!!!))) I really, really actively want this job I went for yesterday, not only because I need a job and to take the pressure off my workload, but because it seems so fabulous. And would probably get my side-project funded.
There was a point, during the Great Unending Jobhunt of 2007-2008, that I thought I'd reached a point of exquisite numbness, when I realised that I couldn't control outcomes by changing the way I thought about things. I was able to do an application a day and spend most of the day lying on the floor watching Dexter, which for some reason I found strangely appealing, and which after all is the lifestyle that unemployed people are stereotypically expected to have. Well, the lesson apparently didn't stick, for here I am again, with all the worry and none of the spare time. The suspense is killing me. I really really want these people to say yes, right away. Please.

Pls pray for the 2 atheists I am thinking of to know God, including my brother (that makes 3 actually).
Please also pray for my dear friend who just had a kid and feels overwhelmed and depressed with all her kids, her husband having to work long hours and the passive aggressive fights starting to happen between them. I love her so, she is such a great person and has been a huge support for me.
Thanks.

my cousin C's aunt called him yesterday to tell C his dad, G, in poor health and in the hospice, may only have a week or 2 longer. For G, may things better than C's aunt is saying, and in any case, comfort for G, and for all the members of the family, which is rather fraught with various relational fault lines, let there be reconciliation and understanding.
Just now this morning I just discovered a problem with accessing my website, which has a virtual library i have been asembling, and which represents several years work
-- and which i have not backed up nearly as much as i should have (yes, i know that's my own fault). I'm getting ready to call the hosting service -- please God let this be cleared up quickly (And then let me not be slack in the resolution i no make to properly back things up as soon as this problem is fixed!)

I had a nasty bump this evening. A proper, legs chopped out from under me, ten years of CBT undone, weeping in public bump. I need to do some work to sort it out. I don't know if I should be more assertive or more forgiving, or both. Probably both. Sigh.

See, that work thing. I'm one-third the way through writing a book. Yes, I know I have to stop that to copy edit over a 1000 pages of the previous one, and I know I only have three weeks to do that in or it'll throw the entire publishing schedule out (again). I also have 60 school reports to write, which is fine, and I still have to do all the cooking, shopping, washing and cleaning and fetching and carrying as well as answering all the homework questions and taking the mother-in-law to hospital appointments, oversee the building work, take the cats to the vets and go to London to launch an entirely different book.
I've just also got the writing opportunity of my life, which I need to spend serious time on or it'll evaporate. If I can pull this one thing off, what I laughingly call a career will take a massive leap forward. Except...
I'm not Joshua. I can't stop the sun in the sky while I fight the battle. I genuinely have no idea how I'm going to both fulfil all my existing commitments and do the new thing. Six months time, yes. Now, no.

The yukon river is ice jamming and flooding pretty dramatically. As the ice moves downstream, it hits a new snag and backs up into the next town. Each village is getting their turn. I feel we're praying our way down the river. There's still hundreds of miles of river to go.
And now the Susitna (ours!) is rising rising rising... And I may be leaving town a day or two before all my friends and neighbors need help.

I don't think they can stop me getting the job, but I don't know what they want to ask me given that I wrote them a very full declaration regarding my mental-health problems to start with.

Z is feeling the same thing: schools almost never call back after interviews and she hasn't even had a formal interview with the school district where she has been a supply teacher for parts of two years! She doesn't want to have to go back to banking as she's been out of that industry since the nineties, but her Masters' in Education has thus far not led to a permanent job with a school that is solvent. She is very worried and so am I.

C has gone to New Orleans for his dad G.'s funeral. He, as the only person who apparently cared about his dad, wanted him cremated and he to receive the ashes. But, the rest of the oh-so-churchly family is getting their wish "not to have the body disrespected" and are having him buried next to family members who didn't seem concerned about disrespecting him when he was alive. That's my take anyway, and God forgive me if I am being uncharitable and wrong, especially in this prayer thread. And i very much pray that there can be healing, understanding and reconciliation in the family. For C, who misses his dad, and for G, may he rest in peace and rise in glory.

For the people of Oklahoma City. For the mother and child killed when their car was hit.
For the plains and the Eastern states, for rain and reduction of the threat of fire.
For comet, for a successful move.
For duchess.
For malik3000's C and G, and for peace and reconciliation within the family.
For malik3000, melanoma be gone! prostate cancer be gone!
For North East Quine, for safety and freedom from anxiety. For the apparent drunk who caused the accident.
For K. And her son R.
For another K., M., and K's mother.
For success of my current project, because the pressure can never be off, because needless to say I have a demo on Tuesday evening.
On the matter of thinking the pressure's off. Yesterday I finished work at 10pm, balanced my checkbook and saw that it was good. This morning I got up an hour early, cleaned up cat vomit, cleaned the kitchen, did a vigorous aerobic workout, and then I remembered I needed to go downtown and get library books,
Whereupon I screamed "FESTIVAL" and rampaged through the discount stores and sale racks of this land, buying toothpaste! Contact lenses! Light bulbs! Lipstick! Zit cream! T-shirt bras! Crisps! A pink recycle bin with a lid! Imagine all this in the style of a "momentous debauch vortex montage" scene in a movie. I did in fact also get my library books, but it doesn't seem to matter, somehow, in the aftermath.
I am now sitting here adding up what I spent. Long story short, I need a ritual to keep the Finance Monster away again.
I may also need to reexamine my notions of work-life balance and what actually constitutes a good time, but first things first.

My first cousin Brian was killed in an accident involving an ATV (details are sketchy at the moment). Brian was the closest thing I had to a brother -- he lived with us when we were in high school (we're only 2 months apart in age); we shared a bedroom for a couple of years, even. He's on the opposite side of the continent and it seems unlikely I will be able to go to the funeral even.
Prayers for his two brothers and my Mom.

What Ariel said.
The Telemum goes for her postoperative follow up tomorrow, please pray that she is all healed but if not, that she gets the best and most perspicacious care. Also, for her blood pressure to have returned to normal.
I hate to keep saying this, but I still have to pull off some brilliant demos this week and it's such an uphill battle.
I also need to keep the Finance Monster at bay.
For both Ks.
There is a thing I'd like to do for the Telemum relatively soon.
Also for my side project - the timing turns out to be perfect, and also, a thing I thought had gone badly now looks quite different
For me to figure out something that shouldn't still be bothering me, but is.

For all driving or riding on the roads, may they be safe -- and it being summer here -- for all motoring on the water -- near where I live is a large lake and one regularly hears of boating accidents, some fatal, and the majority alcohol-fueled.
For Niteowl's mother and the medical people caring for her
for the Telemum to be all healed and for her blood pressure to return to normal
for Telepath in all her work, and may she find a space to be able to breath freely, knowing that all her projects are caught up and successful and the Finance Monster is routed from the land.

Thank you to everyone who prayed recently for P; sadly, I heard last night that he had died. He was a lovely man, always courteous and ready with a joke or a smile. And he always wore a bow tie - as any Dr Who fan will tell you, bow ties are cool! Along with the rest of our church, I will miss him very much. Please could you pray for his wife, R, and their daughter, S? The funeral is next Tuesday.

Please pray that medication will prevent and ease suffering. Sounds like a countdown of about 2 months to the end.
On a lighter note I am planing to wisk the wife away for the weekend (post anniversary). The thing is, she knows nothing about it.
Children booked with rent-a-gramps. B&B booked, furtive bag packing and a bus trip to where she works to do. Finances- oh what the hell. We really need a break so I hope it goes well and I don't end up in the dog house again. I also want the surprise to keep to end of play tomorrow if possible. It might work because this is so out of character for me.

And re my prostate cancer, for me to get the best possible info about the best choice to make for treating and that I may put myself in the hands of the best possible medical specialist. This 2nd situation is actually more stressful than the melanoma situation -- BUT NOT horribly so -- actually I'm feeling great -- ,
but there are actually more choices and possible outcomes to be made in a relatively short time (I am learning new things almost everyday, some of which I wish I'd known before I made this particular appointment)
and may i have a doctor who won't treat me like a piece of meat, may I have/regain urological and sexual functioning after whatever treatment I choose. I need to learn a lot in a short time (like a week).
For a safe and smooth trip to NY. And may my finances hold up sufficiently for my trip to NY and at the same pay for a trusted person to house-sit while I am gone from ATL and then after that to pay the rent and other bills.
And in thanksgiving that I still feel wonderfully healthy anyway.

For my friend/non-genetic brother J (who will be house-sitting for me) may his financial woes somehow come to an end

Thank you for your prayers. Work-wise, I seem to be doing an impersonation of the White Queen from Alice (i.e. running to stand still). It would be nice if I could actually make some progress, so that all the running actually gets me somewhere! Plus, I'm representing a union member on the oddest case our branch secretary has ever come across!

I haven't kept up with the prayer thread lately but adding my prayers for all who need them. Thanks for the summary, Telepath.
Please pray for my cousin T. One of his best friends died in a car accident yesterday after a tree branch fell on his car. He was only nineteen. Please also pray for the young man's family and all his friends.
Please also pray for my cousin S's wife and daughters. S was killed in a car accident involving a drink driver last October. His daughter R. is really being hit with it all emotionally lately. I think she also might have known cousin T's friend, though not well.

Please pray for the Dowager Aunt M, who - having just got her arm out of plaster after a broken wrist - has fallen and broken her hip. At 92 she really isn't safe to live alone but won't recognise it.
And for my depressed alcoholic brother A, who is going into rehab for the second time today. He is desperate to win back his wife and child, though I fear that ship has sailed. Please Lord let real good come from this terrible situation.
Also for the Dowager Mrs S, the Dowager Aunt's only slightly younger sister (and of course mother to A) who is worn to a frazzle trying to respond to these crises.
And a little bit for me too as I try to negotiate the voluntary retirement/redundancy process.
... and now to Him who is always more ready to listen than we are to ask, or words to that effect ...

I have one day to my copy-edit deadline. I have, at least, gone through the whole ms once, trying to repair the damage done to it, and am now trying for another read-through before I send it back. This day and tomorrow being my busiest days at school, naturally.
I'm absolutely livid that I've been put in this position. I'm normally fairly sanguine about the slings and arrows of the editing process, but this time it feels like an act of deliberate vandalism on a work of art.
Obviously, I need to let my publisher know that I'm cross, and that I'll refuse to have this particular copy-editor anywhere near my work ever again. What I need is a form of words that won't burn my bridges, and they're difficult to find when I've wasted almost every waking hour over the last three weeks trying sort out this hideous, soul-destroying mess.

Praying for all tho I haven't been able to as much this week since I've not had as much chance to check things on the computer
Haven't had much time to get on the computer this week because i am in New York -- had my second-opinion visits to docs, and i'm glad i did. Got a couple of very interesting and different perspectives. Things may in some respects better than i thought regarding how to proceed with the 2 cancers. Praying for the discernment that will most definitely be required. The NY oncologist will confer with both my melanoma oncologist and my urologist. And giving thanks for having a few days to just enjoy NY -- very restorative for me
Prayers that i may make the best use of the time God is blessing me with

praying and upholding all who post and their concerns.
my clan and I could use some prayer. our various housing attempts keep falling through, and now we have another option that could work - it's not perfect but has great potential and would solve the current crisis and buy us time to find the right situation. However, a number of things need to fall into place for it to work. please pray for it to work!
Also, workstuff. I need a certain very exciting opportunity to come through, (oh please oh please!) and I need something regularish to fill the timeframe until/if it does. Also - Chasee#2 has gainful employment but hates it. Honestly, I'd hate it, too. But it's good work and pays well. He's having trouble with the concept of sticking it out while seeking something better. Please pray for him to get his head out of his ass *ahem* and for me to be patient. As a family, we can't afford to be idle for any reason.
And generally, for my whole family to be patient and positive as we're going through one hell of an adjustment period - new town, new people, loss of old connections. Living in our temporary situation is hard for all involved. We all need routines, new friends, bright futures, and a LOT of patience with each other!

So, I canceled out of the dinner.
Probably not the right thing to do. But I don't know what the right thing to do was.
I believe I'd been originally invited by mistake; the dinner is properly for people at the college of higher rank than I. I didn't want to go and be uncomfortable and out of place. I also don't really have the clothes for this kind of occasion, and I'm very self-conscious in groups, sometimes even to the point of panic attacks.
Still, if I were a different sort of person, I'd have pushed my way in, sat down at the table, and acted as if I belonged at the dinner. And the program I run might have benefited from it. (It's not something the college considers particularly important, though I think perhaps it should.)
I could use some help with discernment here. I've never had any appetite for climbing the greasy pole, but I don't know if I really have a choice. I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to be eating cat food in my old age, either, as failures in life (like me) tend to do.

Feeling anxious
a) Trip this weekend. 3 hour drive. Supposed to rain during trip.
b) Renting a car and the first one, although fun and cute, had a tire deflate a bit, so did an exchange.
c) Off to a wedding of our best friend's one son, which should be grand. However, God made a doozy of a point to us about this a few weeks ago and still a little bit baffled/angry/worried cause God has never done anything like that with us... ever.
d) Need to speak to my Mum about a few things monetary I'm dealing with. Approached her about talking about this and she said yes we should talk and she needs to speak to me about something too. That has me worried.
e) Slight hiccup with space for car in parking garage. Frazzled wife.
f) Cat just threw up....likely heat as he's been friskier then normal tonight. Settled in and sleeping but not something I like to hear about.
g) And the humidity and heat at home, which always causes me to lose sleep and get a bit frazzled.
In essence, my anxiety levels are a bit high.
Prayed an hour ago, and thought about coming here to ask for prayer, and feeling cooler and better.
But, still concerned.
Here my prayers O God reading through. May we know your peace that passes understanding.

For Grammatica, for future discernment in social matters. (From what you've written here, the right thing to do would have been to attend the dinner as planned, and converse with the people on either side of you at the table, insomuch as possible giving equal time to both sides, though this depends on them as much as you. This is hard, because dinners last a long time, but if you treat it like work you can get through it, and letting others do most of the talking can help. From what you say, you were too ashamed to do this, thought you were unworthy of being invited, thought it would have been unduly aggressive of you to attend as planned, and equate that kind of activity with Becky Sharp-style social climbing. You may be overthinking it a little. Also, if the dinner is with gowns? A LBD is the only thing that really goes with a gown anyway and you can usually find one in a thrift store.)
For To The Pain to give a stellar interview. (Oh, and get the job too.)
For comet to not-hate the new job and find a housing solution, stat.
For travelling mercies for Og; for whatever issue c) was about; for monetary and maternal conflict resolution; healing of cat; good sleep; relief of anxiety.
For healing for chive.
For healing for St. Gwladys.
Visiting Cat is a little thug. My door opened this evening, and it was him, being all shy and endearing. Aw! I coaxed him with a catnip toy. Turns out he came upstairs in pursuit of Chief Cat, who in turn came upstairs because Visiting Cat slugged her while she was trying to eat her dinner. A few minutes later, I heard yowling outside and saw Visiting Cat harassing someone else in next door's yard. Like I said, an uncivilised little savage. We have got to teach him not to be such a bully, I will not tolerate this sort of thing in my house, even from a pet.
For my heart's desire.
For the Telemum.
For R.
For K. and M.
For good habit forming.
For success of my current project.

Catching up in the midst of a rather busy and somewhat distracting week or 2 -- thanks as always to Telepath for her helpful gathering together of all our prayers
My friend J has been visiting from out of town. He is the one who lives in near poverty despite working at the same school system for a decade and a half. He is so dedicated to his special-needs students despite the lack of decent pay and lack of respect from the miserly school administration and disrespect even from the classroom teacher whom he assists. Plus he is not in the best of health -- still covering from a stroke and needs physical therapy and due to lack of $$ too often is eating the poor nutritional quality of food available to poor people in this rich country, and whose school system health plan does NOT cover ANY of his needed medication. Will not a just and loving God judge a country that allows such obscenities to take place though able to do otherwise?
and I have been trying to deal with wading through a lot of conflicting info in re choices to be made by me regarding medical treatments for both my medical situations -- prayers for discernment please! But giving thanks that at least I gave a decent health plan, and that physically I feel wonderfully great.
and trying to take care of various business/personal matters involving waiting horrendously long times on the phone to talk to utility companies and other organizations (whatever became of being able to take care of business by dealing with a flesh and blood human face to face? -- how quaintly early 20th century!)

Catching up with prayers, thanks to Telepath's wonderful lists, and one of the first things I read was 'For Starbug to keep to a routine' - Amen to that!
Once more, I have more work than I can reasonably pack into my working day, much of which would take too long to delegate to my team (by the time I tell them how to do something, I could have done it). Plus, they are already struggling due to others being on leave and too many major projects happening at once.

Tomorrow I am facing a 823 km journey on a route I don't know. I've never driven this far by myself, & while the route avoids Paris, there is still potential for me to take wrong turns and get lost (even though it is mostly on motorways!)
Then on Thursday I'm travelling another 200 odd km driving on the wrong side of the road!!! I think I'm more nervous of that.
Please pray that I stay alert and sensible; that I don't do anything stupid, and that, when I'm in the UK, I remember whch side of the road I should be driving on. I'm so used to driving a right-hand drive car on the right hand side of the road that I'm sure to get confused!

A happier prayer request than some recent ones:
I ask your prayers for friends of mine whose civil marriage of 10 years is to be blessed tomorrow (the actual anniversary of their marriage) with the approval of our bishop. This will be one of the first, if not the very first, official blessings of a civil marriage between persons of the same sex in our diocese. Mary and I will be attending the ceremony.
Mark and Daryl have been together for nearly 25 years, have been wonderful parents to the nephews of one of them (whose father is a serial polygamist -- 3 wives so far -- and not an advertisement for marriage), and married within days of the legalization of marriage between same-sex partners.

Please pray for grandpa and granny Shrew.
They are both in very poor health generally, granny has been unable to stand or walk for months due to pain from a tumour on her ovary (which they don't want to remove as she is too ill and it is benign) and severe osteoporosis which means she has virtually no pelvis bones left. She also has phlebitis on her legs so they are constantly swollen and sore.
Grandpa has been poorly a while and getting worse, sleeping all day. Eventually he was sent to hospital by the GP last week because he was having seizures and hallucinations and had verylow blood ooxygen. Turns out he has pneumonia and heart failure at least but is still hallucinating and sleeping constantly.
And today the hospital tried to send him home. Thankfully my granny convinced them she couldn't cope and to wait until Monday for a social services assessment. But given they only released her from hospital at Christmas on condition she had a stair lift in less than a fortnight and an adapted bathroom and they are still waiting, havinghhad to fight endlessly for it (they have tiny pensions, no savings, and sadly the rest of the Shrew finances mean that none of us are quite able to pay for things for them), i have no faith that this will help.

Hallucinations in the elderly, especially those on varieties of medications for different ailments, are frequently found to be the result of potassium deficiency resulting from interaction between medicines. This can normally be cured by ensuring consumption of a banana a day.

I urgently urgently need some prayers for discernment and clarity and ability to understand some complicated information. Today -- in the space of just a few minutes -- I have just received 2 very conflicting pieces of medical advice on how to proceed concerning my prostate cancer and I will need to make a decision quite quickly I think, not later. I have my work cut out for me, studying and doing my best to contact the New York doctors. Of course I am not an MD, but with medical situations like this the patient must be proactive. Medicare pays for a 2nd opinion -- I wonder will they pay for a 3rd opinion?? I really need for God to show me the way.

My elderly mum has blocked her kitchen drain with too much cooking fat and washing powder. I tried shifting it, both from the kitchen and the manhole ends, but the blockage lies somewhere in the middle. I've made an appointment for a professional to come next Saturday afternoon, as I can't get time off work right now. Unfortunately, Mum is not always in her right mind and has been known to shout at people who come to help. Please pray that she will be calm and allow the drain person to do their job.

A small thing, but in the UK some soya products have yoghurt cultures in them whilst containing no lactose. These were enormously helpful to me when I faced the same situation recently. Not sure if they exist in your neck of the woods.

After various family wranglings, it's been agreed that Mum's drain pipe is going to be replaced, which should mean that we don't have to keep unblocking it every few months any more. As I pointer out to Brother-in-law, none of us is getting any younger and none of us want to do it, so this seems to be the best solution all round. Thanks be to God.

The opposite is (also?) true.
Low sodium causes hallucinations and is also caused sometimes by interaction of medication. In this case, bananas would make it worse. Never experiment without a blood test to determine actual levels. God

Dear God! Lac Megantic -- it just gets worse -- what a horror for them. Prayers for all who have died and for all the surviving townspeople and all family and friends of the missing.
For all the children of Abraham in Egypt, and all Egyptians -- may this downward slide be turned around -- God can do miracles, and may there be understanding and reconciliation.
Like prayers for Syria and everywhere in the world where people are facing societal fracturing
For all facing hardships within their families
For all with difficult decisions to make
For all facing health issues
As for me with decisions to make as to how to proceed medically -- my anxiety level has lessened -- still have yet to make decisions but God is blessing me with a calmer spirit about it all -- compared to many I am extremely lucky, thanks be to God
I also was thinking about, and thanking God about, how fortunate I was to have gone to college when I did, to get into my career when I did, and to be able to retire from it when I did. I was thinking about this because I was watching the news about how, in the country of my residence, the current and upcoming generations will as a whole never know the level of financial security that the "middle class" of my generation was able to enjoy. This is in no way a political comment which would be inappropriate in this thread -- the why of the situation is not the focus here -- but just a recognition that things are getting harder for more people -- and even more so elsewhere in the world, and so I offer prayers for all facing difficult lives.

The good news is that my sister seems to have found a place that will look after Mum well and also take Dad when he gets out of hospital.
Dad's op scheduled for either late this week or early next. Mum wants to see Dad before it. Only date possible is Wednesday (tomorrow) and I know the visit will stress mum and myself out. Mum will promptly forget it has occurred as she does not like leaving Dad in hospital. The next day we hope to move her into respite care. It may also be Dad's op day.
I am getting fed up to the back teeth with answering the question "When is Dad coming home?" asked partly in the hope that I will today or tomorrow instead of a fortnight to three weeks time.

For each by name and need, and for with unexpressed needs
Thanks for your ongoing prayers folks. There may be a possible change in the status of the melanoma thing. I've been fortunate that metastasis so far has been only 3 tidbits on my lung which have remained basically stable over the last year and a half. Well, I had my quarterly CT-PET scan today and they saw something suspicious -- nothing certain -- on my liver, which is the last place they like to see the melanoma gravitate to. It was sufficiently suspicious that they scheduled an MRI for me tomorrow -- and I wasn't due for another MRI until much later this year. A bit nerve-racking. It may turn out to be nothing, and it may turn out to be something. Although the good thing is that even if the liver has become involved, there have been so many hopeful developments in the last 3 years that people who have liver metastases now are starting to go carry on well for years, but if the liver has become involved, it does take things to a higher level of seriousness.
And i'm still facing making possible decisions regarding the prostate cancer. So my plate is somewhat full, to say nothing of personal (e.g. transportation and taxes), financial, and vocational aspirations I prefer to deal with. (I am not the best multi-tasker.) I have a real life outside of cyber-land but for the most part I don't talk much in my physical-contact world about this medical stuff, because I'd rather go through the day thinking about my vocational and other aspirations (it certainly helps that I feel physically great Deo gratis). So this thread is where is where I mostly express my medical concerns. I appreciate y'all being here and hope I'm not too long-winded .

So this thread is where is where I mostly express my medical concerns. I appreciate y'all being here and hope I'm not too long-winded .
This is the place where we can unload safely and in good company, Malik. I've learned a lot about the melanoma journey lately, so I pray with you and for you. May you feel God's arms around you as you travel.

I and my sister have had to put Mum in a home today while Dad is in hospital and Dad will join her while he recuperates or at least that is the plan.
Not pleasant and all three of us could do with prayer for having gone through that.
Then tonight we heard that Dad's operation is tomorrow. Mum according to Dad took the news badly but she would, given her memory and how she was. That does not mean she is upset all the time.
Please prayers for peace, prayers for healing and prayers that we are able to do what needs doing and leave the rest with God.

Please pray for Detroit. Many of you will have heard the city filed for bankruptcy on Thursday.
This coming week is the city's birthday (Wednesday, July 24 - a young 312 years) and next Friday is the feast of Ste. Anne, Detroit's patron saint. So if you can remember my home town and its people in your prayers this week, I'd really appreciate it.
There's talk again that the Detroit Institute of Arts' collection might be up for grabs to satisfy the creditors... The collection and the building (which features a court with Diego Rivera murals) are owned by the city and so count as assets that could be liquidated. Also the city's water department, among other things held in public trust.
And I'm really sick of the nation and now world dumping on Detroit. We could use friends and support right now. The people who caused the mess aren't the people on whose backs the restructuring is being done.

For A, as he negotiates reconciliation with loved ones after a dispute. Prayers for peace and strength and wisdom.
For my brother, J, as he awaits confirmation of whether he will lose his driving license for 18 months as investigations to check that his treatment for a cerebral haemorrhage has worked revealed that, although they were successful, they have led to a second area of weakness developing which will need urgent treatment to prevent another stroke. Prayers for health and confidence and encouragement.
For my Uncle D who has severe dementia and is aspirating frequently. He is unlikely to have long to live. For D and T as they care for him. He is the last remaining member of my parents' generation of our family, a curmudgeonly old fellow but loved nevertheless. Prayers for a gentle passing.

I'm sitting in the exam room in my undies right now waiting to hear the results of the MRI. I didn't call to get the results last week because the person I'd have preferred talking to was off Friday, and I decided just to enjoy the weekend and not think about it. (I had a lovely weekend BTW) The first person, someone I'd not seen before, that came in a few moments ago said that the MRI had not shown "much change" (whatever that means) but he was coming back in a few minutes with my main doctor to fully discuss things. So I'm still wondering (???) -- but will know more shortly -- but, whatever, God is good. I'm praying one of my favorite prayers for situations like this:
quote:
O God, the source of all health: So fill my heart with faith in your love, that with calm expectancy I may make room for your power to possess me, and gracefully accept your healing; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Thanks so much everyone for your prayers.

for Alex Cockell in his loneliness, may his touch-hunger and all his burdens be relieved -- and although cyberfriends are not physically present, may he get at least some comfort from knowing that the people here, though physically distant, are real and with him in spirit.
for Heavenly Anarchist to have a successful interview, successfully focused in work, and may her husband's stress be relieved, and may they have a wonderful holiday
for Macrina's housing situation to be successfully fixed
for the woman Grammatica knows, that she somehow get the healing she needs and is deprived of in a heartless system, and for all trapped in inhumane systems -- and that includes my friend J for whom I've asked prayers here before, trying to recover from a stroke, and with a health plan so poor it doesn't cover the cost of needed expensive medication -- he is visiting me right now -- may some good change come to his situation
for Grammatica to somehow get successfully free from the trap she is in, and for all in the Florida educational system and other systems who are similarly trapped
for the employees of the city of Detroit that they don't have to pay for the financial misdeeds of others
for all the victims of the horrible train crash in Spain and for their loved ones

I would like things to go smoothly.
One of the big struggles is to cope with the fact that mentally he is a lot more able than physically and therefore bored. I have bought him a kindle as that will allow him to download books as he wants them and am considering getting him a small radio as well. Please pray that we are able to sort this, he is off the scale introverted and not very dexterous.

Sadly, two weeks' rehab = two and a half weeks' sobriety, no more. Back on the booze because something went wrong, though I'm not sure what (hard to tell what's truth and what's fabrication, to put it politely).
All the counselling and good advice in the world makes no difference unless it's acted on, sadly.
Praying for better luck - no, better outcomes - for others in that situation

Well, I underestimated my workload. I now have to fit four staff appraisals into two weeks, including writing them up afterwards, plus all my normal stuff and some odds and sods of project work. I woke at 3am and found it hard to get off to sleep again, as I was thinking of work.

My (ex) daughter in law is making increasingly bad decisions and spiralling in her life choices down a nasty, grubby hole. She is acting out of character as I've known her for the last fourteen years.
I'm very concerned for her as she either can't or won't admit a problem but am also concerned as she has two of my grandchildren with her a large part of the time. Grandchildren are 12 and 7.
Prayer also appreciated for my son and for those of the family who have contact with her. It's all very grimy and nasty and unpleasant.

Prayers appreciated please as I've just been released from hospital following another episode of pancreatitis. An ultrasound done this time has revealed gallstones which are the likely cause and I have been put on a waiting list for an operation to remove them
I'm worried that I will have another bout whilst I am waiting the 6-8 weeks for the operation and there is no guarantee this will not happen.
I also have an Employment Support Allowance (ESA) form to complete for an ATOS "fit to work" assessment which I am dreading, especially as it means that I won't be able to survive on Jobseekers Allowance/Income Support (which I will be put on should I deemed fit) without giving up my cat, Zorro.
Please also pray for a positive decision regarding Disabled Living Allowance (DLA)which will enable me to do more including some sort of work.

Nanny O, Will certainly pray for you and all these concerns especially the health one. Simply can't believe they make you wait 6-8 weeks for the gall bladder operation. Keep well in the interim. I hope they gave you some dietary advice as it makes a big difference to gall bladder issues.

She is a dear person who has suffered and bore the weight of worry for quite some time. May God's healing light shine on her.

And a little bit of a sermon. A toque is very smart indeed and excellent for church and social gatherings, but not much use at keeping sun from your face, or your ears for that matter. H late M knew this and took a parasol with her on outdoor occasions. Just remember for your next garden party.

I could do with some prayers. I'm having lots of problems with my church. I just don't fit in there any more and I don't like all the changes that are happening. don't know what to do. Feel so depressed about it all.
From things I've read on these boards and elsewhere I know I'm not the only one with this sort of problem. But I don't know what to do about it, how to cope.
I'd also be grateful for prayers for my 92 year old aunt G who nearly died after a bout of pneumonia earlier this year and is now living with my cousin (her daughter) because she can no longer manage on her own.I spoke to G on the phone yesterday and was shocked at how depressed and defeated she sounded.

We were called this morning to a meeting with the Bishop.

Not sure if this is the right spot for this... Just back from the dermatologist who reassured me that the latest scare was not serious. He looked over the notes that the hospital sends him and said, "Surgery - good; radiotherapy - good; Interferon treatment - good", and then he added, "And lots of prayer - yes, plenty of prayer". I'm not used to that kind of doctor, but he is right: let there be plenty of prayer for cancer patients and their friends. And not just cancer patients.

Hoping I get the same result as Miss Amanda did for the biopsy taken yesterday.
No changes to clothing needed though as it's just below the backstrap of my bra and it's too cold to go topless here

Also I would appreciate prayers for my oldest brother G who is having a neuro-psych assessment of needs on Monday.

Praying for each person here and each person named here by name and need
1. In the last few weeks things have gotten worrisomely tight for me financially , from the fallout cost of my recent trip to New York, and due to to a $400+ (US) medical bill that neither Medicare or my back-up insurance wants to pay. I'm behind in my rent (my landlord is a wonderfully patient man but I don't want to stretch his patience) My skills at plowing through bureaucratic thickets concerning bills are low (but that's a poor excuse -- no one likes having to slog thru this kind of stuff). But may things fall into place and may I get my act sufficiently together to clear this and related money issues. (And -- going on 3 years -- in the public transportation-poor area where I live having a car would be such a big help. How long O Lord!)
2. Re Medically i still feel wonderful, but all treatments for both my cancers is on hold -- in one way thet's good -- i don't have to make as frequent trips to the doctors. But i sometimes worry if some sort of medical actions shouldn't be happening? That's another area in which my act needs to get together -- i need to ask some questions, and i've been given the names of 2 specialists for a 2nd opinion -- and i've not taken action. I've been feeling good, having a beautiful summer and don't want to deal with non-fun things.
3. Also a skinny mother cat and her skinny offspring have been camping out on my porch and yard and I've been feeding them for which they greatly show appreciation -- they obviously don't have an easy life. But it creates problems for Pulsar my mostly indoor cat but who likes to have her daily stroll through the grass -- but her growling as she looks out the window tell me that's not happening now.

Tomorrow my sister and I take Mum and Dad home. Not sure Dad is really well enough yet for this, but it is what he wants. There are other reasons such that really if they did not go now they might well have to wait until my sister was back from holiday etc.
Just hope it is the right thing and we have put in the right amount of support care.

My mother is not recovering as quickly from her operation as expected and will be in hospital for several more weeks, rather than leaving on Friday. Please pray for her, for the excellent staff treating her and for me. I was all set to take next week off to look after her and am not sure whether I am coming or going at the moment. Being 100 miles away is making everything more complicated (and expensive).

Heard from K that she had news about her husband R and I should call her. Left a message, but haven't heard yet. It took me a couple hours to get to a phone and call, so with everything it's been almost 24 hour since I got her email, and I still don't know. R isn't young and though he's hearty, he has health issues, so I'm scared. Hopefully it's nothing and I just mistook the tone of her email.
God be with them either way, I guess.

Feel a bit selfish and petty asking for prayer for this, but anyway, have finally decided to ask.
I've applied for a job. I really need it, I'd be good at it, and I'd really really like it. I'm expecting that they'll appoint someone internally, but I'd hope I'd get an interview (which I'll find out early next week). It seems a bit silly and petty to ask, but please could you pray?
And also about what I do if I don't get it?

There's a decision being made tonight that is out of our hands but will affect our lives. If it goes one way I'm fairly sure I'm going to be depressed for quite a while and probably find relationships with some people much harder, if it goes the other - well, I don't know if I'll be exactly over the moon, but on balance I guess it would be the outcome I'd prefer. To be honest I don't know what to ask for prayer for - wisdom and discernment for those deciding, I guess, and for me the ability to cope with whatever happens.

Please pray, too for M, another friend's young son who is struggling with some of the issues and burden he carries and is suffering from a worrying degree of depression. He needs to report some bullying at work, too, which is not easy when he's so young and feeling so vulnerable. Another family who have really been through the mill recently.
And a tiny prayer for the roborovski hamster who has just managed to escape from his cage and disappear off into the depths of my boy's bedroom. The boy is too tired to catch him now, the room too untidy for it to be feasible to track the tiny hamster down...... a prayer for the boy to be able to sleep (guilt!), the hamster to survive the night and for the two of us to be able to find him tomorrow before the cat does.

I've had a missed miscarriage. I found out I was pregnant 6 weeks ago, but had a faint line 2 weeks before that. I thought I was between 6-8 weeks when I went for a private scan, but they said I was 5 weeks. Since then I've been very cautious about how phased things as I thought the embryo didn't develop and was dead but everyone thought it was my mh problems. Turns out I was exactly right and I went for a scan on Thursday where they saw a featal pole and nothing else. As I'm not miscarrying naturally I get the joy of going back to hospital on Thursday to have it removed.
I'm shattered, grumpy, sore and depressed, and am being a nightmare to live with. It he one consolation is that I can now take lovely opioids again so my pain is lessened. I'm still off all my psych meds, my nausea meds and some of my pain meds as I want to try again.
Please pra everything will go as well as it can do on Thursday and I manage to get some non chemically enhanced sleep between then.

Prayers please that I remain free of anxiety. There is what my doctor called a "bump," in my bladder. I saw x-ray very small area, but they cannot schedule me for a biopsy until the end of September, so that gives me a lot of time to worry about this bump. So I need help in putting worry aside and moving on with life, until we have more information to work with. Worry I know is not helpful, does not change things, and may all be for nothing, never the less worry, worry, worry at the moment.

This is minor compared to other stuff, but I'm in Detroit right now, and staying with a friend who has way too many cats (that I'm allergic to). Due to the heat, I started out trying not closing the bedroom door (AC is in the living room). Big mistake. Wednesday night I had a huge allergy attack that I only barely got under control with 4 different antihistamines, pseudoephedrine, and ibuprofen, but Thurs. I woke up with a dry, sore throat. It just got worse all day until by nighttime, I couldn't swallow. It hurts SO much. I've been nursing it all day, and it's very slowly improving. Thankfully, the hunger isn't registering much anymore. But I've had to cancel plans to see people I haven't seen in years, and I don't want to cancel plans tomorrow. I'd appreciate some prayers.

the Juneau hospital is filling up with locals. K still there being watched, but will probably keep his arm and if healing continues as it currently is, will not even need surgery. whew!

She called him today - from the hospital in Juneau. she has pancreatitis. I have never heard of an eleven year old having this! it's a relapse from her first bout a year ago, and now she is currently in the air being medevac'd from Juneau to Anchorage. pretty serious stuff. C3 is beside himself with worry and I'm not letting him near any of my med texts because if he does his usual and studies up he'll work himself into a true fit.

Just heard that an old friend has died. I knew she had cancer but the last I heard was she was in remission.

Please pray: I've been fighting off germs in the first week back at work. As usual, they've gone for my chest, and I think I'm going to lose my voice.
I've to be at church to sing in two big services, and I should probably stay at home. If I do lose my voice, the week at work will be difficult.

I go into hospital tomorrow morning early, for operation (maybe only three days in) - I got hit by a motorbike years ago and still have problems in my stomach when it was ripped and they say that would affect toilet! I do hope it would end up OK and not be very painful...

For every person named here. With all the deeper pains and problems being expressed here by others, I apologize for needily going on so long about me me me, but waking up this morning all this various stuff just seems to be piling up on me at once.
Most immediately, that my regular check come today or ASAP! -- as i am down to basically nothing today, and that i am able to pay all my overdue bills -- and that i may recover my keys (and memory stick) which i lost somewhere between church and home yesterday
That i may successfully go thru the confusing process of an appeal of a turn-down of several pricey medical scans. That i can resolve all these financial messes without over-burdening financial expert friends who have been kindly and patiently giving me guidance. That i may overcome the freezing up i do when confronted with a lot of stuff.
That my current hiatus in any medical treatment for either of my cancers may be a good thing and not a bad thing.
That the mould problem in my neighbour's and my place get resolved, especially for my neighbour who has it worse and for whom it has been costly.
I fell and banged my shoulder -- it is still sore 10 days later -- that it may clear up soon without me having to schlepp to the e.r. (still would like to get a car but how? $$$?) That foot and mouth problems (literally -- i need to eventually see a dentist and a podiatrist) get dealt with.
For a feral mother cat and her little one who who have taken up residence on my porch. They are sweet and i'd like to get the to the humane society for a free birth control operation.
But in thanksgiving that i feel very healthy physically (shoulder aside) and mentally. Thank you God for life!

She fell over and broke her wrist really badly on Thursday. Was scheduled to be operated on today for the shattered bits of bone to be screwed together. Starvation since 6.30 a.m. - I believe it was postponed until Wednesday morning about 12 hours later.
The further complication in all of this is that my parents are resuming responsibility for before- and after-school care for my 2 nieces as of today, so everything was very fraught, and will be again on Wednesday, when term is fully underway.
The holiday has only just ended and everyone is already fraught.

And please may I add a request for prayer -- too complicated to explain, but I need help to see the right way to be supportive of a beloved family member. I keep saying--with good intentions-- the wrong thing. I fear adverse effects from my own clumsiness.
I have been in your shoes! I suffer from A.D.D. and sometimes, the WORST things pop out of my mouth... and I have no idea from whence came these awful things. I shall pray for you as soon as I finish typing this.
Thanks 5th Mary! And to anyone else who has been praying. Things much improved...thank God.

For healing a terrible thing that happened at a local park, yesterday: a mom and her baby were sunbathing. A groundsworker was driving a cart along a path, turned onto the grass, and headed straight for the woman and child. People tried to stop him. But he ran over the mother and killed her, then kept on going. He was caught later. The baby wasn't physically injured. I don't know if the baby has any other family.

In some ways this should be on the praise thread, but can I ask for prayers for my mother in law A and her partner J? They were on their way on holiday yesterday when they had a road accident. This was there second attempt at going away, they had to cancel in Jume when my MiL fell and dilocated her hip. This time they were about eigthy miles from home on a motorway when they were clipped by a lorry, spun round and flipped over. They ended up hanging up-side down on the verge. Remarkably, for two fairly frail people (they are both in their mid-eighties) they walked away without a scratch.
This has been a rotten year all told for A, and she was really looking forward to getting away for a bit. She could really do with a bit of upholding.
On a much more minor note, my foot is loads better today, which is a great relief. Just hope it holds up to the commute on Monday.

I've had a cough for the last 10 days or so that i can't seem to shake. I've had similar last year and it went away but since the 2 small melanoma spots are in my lung it makes me a bit nervous. I have my next scan Tuesday the 10th, and i haven't been having any therapy for the last 2 months -- may things still be stable as they've been for the last nearly 2 years. And may my prostate cancer, also sans treatment, still be stable.
Also I have had atrial fibrillation for 10+ years. There's a mild soreness on the right side of my scalp that i feel when i cough. The paranoid side of me thinks could this possibly sign of an aneurism.
The utterly delightful golden kitten who lives in my porch has just an occasional cough. I know kitties are prone to respiratory problems and i want to get the little guy to the vet soon. May he be in good health.
And prayers that i get caught up financially

All of which makes my problems seem very insignificant, but I'd still ask for prayer - my manager is pushing me towards ill health retirement. In one way, I'm glad as the decision is being taken out of my hands, but I'm still upset at the idea and increasingly angry at her justification of it - she's cited that I've had 4 car accidents over the last year, two definitely not my fault, one - well, I was reversing out of a space and someone came out of the carpark behind me rather quickly, the 4th was totally my fault. She's told me I mustn't drive in work, which means I can't do my job.

Can I ask for prayers for a potentially tricky meeting tomorrow night? However it pans out there are going to be long-term concequences.

Please, everyone, please pray for the twin of the other little cat that died on September 2. "Tigger" is really ill and we haven't the money to take him to the vet. Well, pray that Tigger holds on OR that we get the $25 necessary to hold a spot for him at the low-income veterinarians that we take our kitties to. The vet said they would help us with paying for his treatment if we can just scrape together the $25. I put out an appeal on Facebook.
Please, God, take care of this poor cat until we can help him.

Please pray for the family of my dear friend, Kathy, who went home to the Lord today after a valiant fight with cancer. It's going to be a long few days and I couldn't get a flight to hug a lot of people that I love.
Also, keep in mind, that Colorado and New Mexico is still decimated with the rain. There are roads that will take years to be rebuilt, houses and cars that were lost down rivers of water. They are calling it unprecedented and it is.
(I found a mushroom in my yard today, which is ridiculous in a desert!) And my roof leaks and I need a whole new roof now.

Praise God that Fiona came through her brain surgery. Unfortunately the tumor was even more extensive than anticipated. As a result she has lost quite a lot of vision which may not return. She is still awaiting the next stage of treatment which will probably be chemotherapy. Please continue praying for this very brave lady.

Sad news: the beautiful little boy kitten residing on my porch was killed, being hit by a car. I feel somewhat guilty that he could not have been inside but my apartment was too small for both home and Pulsar. He is now buried under the trees in my back yard. Although I am so sad, since I believe he is now in a better place, I give thanks that the accident was mercifully quick, and that I was able to give him a loving environment during his brief earthly sojourn, and that he brought joy to my life.
I give thanks that my latest scans were good. No growth of metastases in my lung at all even though I have not had any kind of treatment going on 3 months. I was diagnosed nearly 2 years ago -- a handful of years ago that would have meant that statistically speaking I should have been dead by now. God, you are so good!

We had a good time today, and money is always sent to look after many children, now when bigger, in school clothes, and some parents also pay for their children to be taught very well. Some really baby little ones are brought to Kalimpong, often by their mother who can't work while she has them, to be looked after and fed, and then as they grow up are taught.
There were many people who originally lived there and were fed and in school. they still feel happy about that and help the others now.

Concert update: fun

Could you please pray for my stepmother, Betty? Her Lymphoma has returned in an aggressive way, she also has a mass in her abdomen. She has had a chest infection and has had a lot of fluid drained - she still has a drainage tube in - she is unable to have anything by mouth as she is at risk of aspirating. Her son has been told that it is "a matter of time" as all the hospital can do is make sure she is comfortable. It was quite distressing to see her today. Please pray that the "time" be short, but she would know God is with her.

I ask your prayers for my Uncle Dean. He had surgery last Thursday. I received an email from my cousin reporting on his situation today. She reports in part:
quote:
He was diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma on his head, and had a large mass (about 7 inches in diameter) removed from his head as well as 2 clusters of lymph nodes. They have not done a skin graft yet because they were keeping it open in case they had to go back in again. Unfortunately, the pathology report showed that the lymph nodes were positive for the cancer, so he will be facing more surgery. However, at the present time he has not fully recovered from the 1st surgery (which was last Thursday) and the Dr. estimates that it will take at least 2 more weeks before he is able to undergo another procedure. In the meantime, he has been placed in a rehab facility. He may or may not go home for a few days before the next surgery.

The post mortem showed that Mum died from a heart attack and then pulmonary oedema. Dad attempted CPR on her for 20 minutes but the doctor told him that whatever he had done wouldn't have made any difference due to the accumulation of fluid in her lungs.
It will probably take 3-4 days for mums body to be repatriated. My sister is there with dad and they are coming home on Monday.
This is like a terrible, unending nightmare.
I can't believe she is gone and I have no idea how we will cope without her. She was the glue that held us all together.

I'm in the thick of depression and need to be applying for jobs. My financial situation is pretty bad, although I know so many other people are much worse off. I need some kind of help getting to a place where I can have the confidence and motivation to do something about it. I'm not feeling completely hopeless, but I don't need hope as much as I need money. But I probably need the hope in order to do anything that will make money. And I need to get out of my head, it's not a safe place most of the time.

I'd appreciate your prayers.
About ten days ago I spoke to my doctor about anxiety and depression. She was very nice about it and gave me the number of a service to talk about some sort of talking therapy (as opposed to medication). I've been carrying it around in my pocket for a week.
In fact I'd almost sort of convinced myself that I didn't need to and that I was doing ok really... But last night and today I've been suffering from the kind of problem that finally convinced me I need to go to the doctor in the first place.
Long story short, I'm going to ring them tomorrow.
Please pray I go through with it and that it turns out well. I really can't keep on like this.
Thanks.

My kid and flatmate need continued prayers for permanent housing: HUD is giving them grief and withdrew their voucher a few weeks ago. They desperately want to move to another community up north with better summer and autumn weather: they do not fear the snow. They are both disabled although the flatmate is a former stockbroker who is trying to succeed in a small business venture.
My wife, Z, is also having ongoing health problems and chronically under-employed. My main job does not require a degree and she makes about half of what I do most days. She deserves better than supply teacher: she has a master's degree in education for God's sake!

Thanks for praying, and for the PMs and messages too, I didn't reply to all of them, because I'm crap, but thank you, I really appreciated them all.
Anyway, I've applied for another one on another ship, one I'd love to sail on. I've just sent the form and my CV off. Oh please please please. I so need a job, both because I need the money and for my own sanity (heh, see the Black Dog thread in hell recently), and while all the other CVs and applications I've sent off have come to nothing, this one's another one I'd really love to get.

My friends are too busy to see me, and have been for months. This is the second time this year I've tried to arrange a big and expensive party for them, but people still don't have time. I don't know what I have to do to make it worth people's while to spend time with me. I'm sitting here crying over it and if anybody gets a whiff of this attitude from me, they'll probably block me on Facebook or something for being too needy. And I'm not even ON Facebook.
I'm going to a meetup tonight and I'm not looking forward to it. Like if I do make some friends, I'll just be adding to the list of people who don't have time for me.
I mean I don't have time either, which is also driving me crazy. Just by going to this meetup, I'm spending money I don't have and giving my real obligations short shrift.
Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard.

--For everyone affected by a dreadful situation that happened in Washington, DC today. I don't have much info yet, but evidently a woman (with her child in the car) tried to ram her way through a gate on Capitol Hill. She couldn't get through. She was chased, shot, and killed. The child is physically uninjured. A cop and a Secret Service agent were both injured. Nothing has been said about motive, except that they don't think it was terrorism.
I can't help wondering if she was a troubled person who was affected by the gov't shutdown or the earlier sequester cuts, and finally went over the edge.
--For me: health, depression, upholding, and assorted private intentions.

Okay, I am not officially a basket case!
JB and I come home on Saturday only to hear from our next door neighbor that our dog hasn't been seen since yesterday (Friday) when she didn't show up for dinner. WE WAIT.
It is now Monday and over the weekend, we have walked all over the property, looking under everything, walked down the arroyo, walked up the arroyo and NOTHING! No dog, no nothing.
I know she is old, (15 years) has a couple of brain cells working and has arthritis, but I am upset. I turned into a crying idiot at church and left, can't stop crying, didn't sleep most of the night, keep looking out the window and sobbing. I am miserable. Can't seem to concentrate on tasks, don't want to eat. I have to pull myself together and I'm not doing well.

Mama Cat moved her 4 babies off my porch to an unknown location (a neighbour saw it happening). I nelieve she just wanted to put them in a more private place as people she didn't know were coming up on the porch and I think it made her nervous (not that anyone was doing anything negative but I think it was just too much unfamiliarity for her). I'm pretty sure they are well, mama usually knows best after all, but I'm praying, and I miss seeing them. She shows up several times a day to play and and get and give affection (I make sure she eats well as she's doing it for 5!) I guess i'll see them when they start being weaned and show u with mama, but i'm still praying and hope they are OK.

I'm struggling for words. I saw a specialist today. She was a lovely woman who had lots of reassuring words about statistical chances of this and that and ordered more invasive tests. Two of the statistically low possibilities are different cancers.
The worst thing was coming home and having no one to tell. I have never felt so lonely in my life/
If's not the possibility of dying, both are easily treatable - it's the aloneness of facing even more invasive procedures.
sorry to be bloggy, but putting it into words has helped.

Got a shock this week, heard that one of the good guys at work was dead. A friend, and only 49. The visitation is tomorrow afternoon at the funeral home. This is going to be hard. It was a suicide. Likely the cancer was back, and his perception was this was the best he could do. He always had good, steady, well-thought-out judgement in life, so why should I question his judgement about when to die? Other than it hurts.
But tomorrow is not the time for that. Tomorrow will be "I'm so sorry" to Bryan's family, and sharing funny/sad stories with the crowd milling around as we try to start healing.
I pray for Bryan and his family, and his many many friends who are hurting now.

Last night, a chink came out of one of my molars. It's a tooth with anfairly deep filling and one side of it just came away. It doesn't hurt, for which I'm grateful. But I'm afraid to eat on it, in case the filling becomes weakened. Please pray for a timely dentist's appointment. I'm going away on a training course next Thursday, so would prefer it to be fixed by then!

At the start of October I began a new temporary job. Although it was only temporary I was told there was a strong chance it could become permanent; I put all my energy into it and thought it was going well. Today I was told that the college is being reorganised, for financial reasons, and my job has disappeared. So I'm unemployed again.
On top of that, an old knee problem has resurfaced this week. Although relatively minor, it is giving me so much pain it is very hard to walk or drive. I don't know what the fuck is going on.

Been struggling with my left leg going into compression - then needing to come out again as its shape is more awkward - so nurses are going to have to think how they'll deal with the frequent bandage slippage..
It chimes in with the feelings of having so much of my life stolen from me when I was abused as age 12... derailed EVERYTHING interpersonal...
The loneliness of being housebound catches up occasionally - am struggling again with the fact that the only touch I get regularly is the brisk professional touch from nurses re-dressing my lower legs..

Please keep Josephine in your prayers. She was admitted to the hospital tonight with anemia and fatigue; it turns out she has been bleeding internally since Saturday, and has lost about half her blood. They are going to transfuse her and stabilize her, then in about 8 hours do an endoscopy to find where she's bleeding. The ER (A&E) doctor thinks it's probably a stomach ulcer, probably not terribly serious. She was pretty sanguine when I left her (get it?).
Thank you for your prayers for Josephine, and for the kids who are of course going to be worrying about their mum.

Our daughter, Willow, needs your prayers. She's got mine. She called us up in the middle of the night about an hour ago. I only picked up the phone because I thought it was school calling about a job and I had forgotten to tell the system I was not available.
Willow is in fair physical health except for complications from a broken foot. She can walk. She is a vegetarian and I don't believe she drinks or smokes.
She dropped out of community college after attempting to get a degree in theatre and even walking through graduation while short a couple of classes - I did the same thing at university in 1978 and have always regretted I did not go back and finish my degree. Then she went to university as an anthropology major. She caused a major disturbance in front of the student union. The dean suspended her indefinitely.
She is not coping well with being a non-graduate and unemployed, depending on her flatmate for lodging. She needs to finish her education and perhaps move to the Bay Area which would be a less harsh environment as well as more in line with her politics.
Please pray.

Please pray for me, as I think through a big decision. And sorry if this is a ramble..
As some of you will know, I have struggled with my Church, since the arrival of a new Vicar some years ago. He does not see the point of me!
I am a Lay Reader, but am used very infrequently. My preaching and leading is always well recieved by the congo- the Vicar rarely acknowledges that I have been present at Church, let alone involved in the service!
Because of the circumstances of the Old Vicars sudden departure, and my involvement in the aftermath, the Church members who were there during the scandal seem to value me.
However, the turnover of the congo has been astonishing! I do not recognise at least two thirds of those now attending. The Church wardens and I seem to be the only ones who have noticed this turnover!
I am blessed in the relationship I have with the Church in which I did my placement, and who invite me to preach regularly, and also to run Childrens events. This has been a blessing and a comfort to me.
I should also add that I suffer from anxiety and depression, caused by the work I did in Child Protection. I was given early retirement and generous compensation by my employer.
To cut to the chase, having spent the last few days in prayer and in discussion with my husband (not a Christian) about what I should do, today when out shopping, I bumped into the Vicar of my Parish, who I know, having worked on a project with him. I mentioned that I am thinking about a change, and that Non Christian husband thinks I should go to my own Parish.
He immediately arranged to come and see me this week, to talk and pray.
Please pray for me and advise me. How much should I say? Should I mention that I feel very sad and bereft, or should I be forward looking, and keep my mouth shut. I do not want to criticise my current Vicar, but what can I say to explain my sudden decision to go into mainstream Anglicanism?

The key thing is to avoid brooding over the situation. I know this is not easy. As a regestered depressive, I really do know how hard it is to move away from this sort of pressure.
Could you gather your friends together and ask for their support, while declining to discuss the history. Explain that you need to 'rise above it', and would welcome their help in this. In effect, make them responsible for your well being.
I know it is a risk, but these people are your friends.

I suspect many of us will understand the Weeder's situation: a change of clergy can sometimes be devastating to a congregation, and all too many of us have been there, done that and got the battle-scars.
We're hoping not to be in that position: our Bishop retires next week and the Dean is on the shortlist to replace him. He doesn't particularly want the job (he reckons he already has the best job in the Diocese
), and we certainly don't want to lose him - he's by far the best boss D's ever had. There's another candidate on the short-list who would make an excellent bishop, so prayers for the guidance of those whose decision it is would be much appreciated.

Weeder - could you describe it in terms of growing in different directions from your church as it is now? Your current church is growing, but you personally are growing in a different direction, like plants needing different places to thrive.
One of the analogies that could be used to describe faith and churches is the vine - which is a forgiving image as time to lie fallow, time to grow in different directions, time for branches to be pruned off and used as grafts elsewhere become valid ways of developing faith.

I definitely don't want them getting their hooks into anything that can affect me, nor crossing paths with me again.

I know there are so many very pressing needs before you, but please, of your charity, could you pray (storm heaven, even!) for justice to be seen to be done all this week at the trial of my daughter's father (my first husband) who raped her from the age of 13 to 20 (after he had left us for other women and, of course, completely unbeknown to me.) She is now 43 and has only recently plucked up the courage to go to the police. However, after she did, I confronted him and he admitted it to me, though he is pleading not guilty at the trial, so I have to give evidence on Wednesday too. May I remember it all clearly and coherently.
In addition, her mother-in-law had a stroke yesterday evening and is in ICU, though she has recovered consciousness.
O Lord, bring justice and healing to all those needing you so much. Thank you.

Thank You, Lord, for this little community of saints, where we can come together for support and refuge.
I foolishly checked my work emails while on leave and it appears a formal complaint has been made about a member of my team - not for the first time. I fear that we are going to go round and round the disciplinary 'mulberry bush' again. At the heart of it, I honestly think he's in the wrong job, so serious conversations may need to take place about redeployment, among other things.

She was Atheist. She and I had many, many discussions about religion. She joined The Ship on my recommendation and read so much on here. She was utterly straightforward and true but after many correspondences we came to a wonderful understanding. And in her last message to me she said 'I don't think I can draw a line between my philosophical view and your religious one'. She was a brave, principled wonderful woman who was devoted to her family - she had ten grandchildren - she had been a headteacher and was passionate about the disadvantaged children she took to her heart. She loved the mountains and told me that when she went for one of her daily walks / scrambles she always said 'I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my strength'. she had a heart as big as the Alps she lived in and the tribute page to her on Facebook and Gransnet show how much she was loved RIP.

Could you please pray for one of the children I look after? He's just lost his grandfather, who was in hospital with a head injury, who seemed to be getting better before half-term, but obviously took a turn for the worse and passed away during the break, so my 11 year-old is not in a good place at all. He's normally so sunny & sociable and he has such a big heart/feels things really deeply, as when I asked him what the matter was, he said he was scared of disappointing me. He's an only child, so has no siblings to share his pain with and perhaps feels that the parent who hasn't lost their dad needs to comfort the one who has. When he's miserable he has this ability to make everyone around him miserable and cross with him, which his parents need prayers for. So please hold the H family in the Light, and pray for me to have the wisdom to know what to say to V today, as even though I went through a similar experience at a similar time in my life, but am spectacularly crap at getting the words mangled and making things worse!

Thank you everyone for prayers. They have let me out of hospital for a few hours, but still want me in overnight. Now that I've posted on the Arrivals Hall thread I can give a few more details - TME and I are having a baby, due mid-Dec but likely to be earlier thanks to my horrific blood pressure (I won't give numbers, let's just say as a nurse I'm not enjoying seeing them!). I'm thankful they have pretty much ruled out pre-eclampsia (which is what they suspected when they admitted me on Tuesday from the clinic) but would really appreciate prayers for all 3 of us that they get the amount/combo of medication right so I can get home and we can be well. Also if possible for me to hang on for another couple of weeks (when I will reach 37 weeks) rather than delivering sooner.

Thanks for your prayers for my staff meeting yesterday. I can't say it was enjoyable and he tried to pull the wool over my eyes, which is annoying. Howver, we had a satisfactory conclusion (for me) and I was well supported by HR.

For a dear friend and beloved colleague who is in the public spotlight in a truly horrible way, as the father of a teenager victimized in an apparent hate crime.

My friend has, so far, handled everything with amazing dignity and grace--I can only imagine the strength needed to do that, and so I send prayers out to give him (and others in the family unknown to me) more strength.

Posted by Abigail (# 1672) on

At the beginning of this year I started reading, praying and posting on this thread. Then in August I went away for a week and somehow when I got back I never got back into the habit... so I feel embarrassed and awkward to come back now and ask for prayer, but I feel so in need of it.
I feel incredibly stressed about work next week. It's our busiest time of year, we're two people down, and I've got to do lots of stuff I have no idea how to do and I don't think I can cope. If I can get through next week things will be relatively ok but I just don't know how I'm going to manage it.
And as if that isn't enough there are big changes happening at church and I'm worried and depressed about that too. I really need to focus on the church situation and work out how I'm going to deal with it but all I can do at the moment is panic about work.
Please pray.

Thanks to Margaret and everyone else who remembered me in prayer. I'm really grateful. I did make it to the hospital in San Francisco. I'm not a "squeaky wheel" sort of individual, so it took a lot of effort and various tactics to try to get help. I ultimately had to go through the emergency room instead, but it worked, and I'm grateful even if it was quite difficult. Thank you all for your support.

for all.
Please pray for me as I try to decide/ discern whether I should move from the Church I have been attending for years, and instead attend my Parish Church.
There are all sorts of reasons to stay- particularly 7 God children in the congregation.
But I am finding it a struggle. I am a Reader, but the current Vicar does not give me much to do. I was very involved during the previous incumbancy and the vacancy but not in the selection process. This was my own decision.
I was very ready to welcome the new Vicar but his reaction to me was totally hostile from the start. I really have no idea why.
I have tried to work with/for him, to be content with what the little he gives me to do, and to support all he is doing.
But I am now so tired.
There was a 'last straw' a couple of weeks ago, immediately followed by my happening to park beside the Vicar of my own Parish, in town. After a brief conversation, he offered to visit me. When we spoke, I was careful not to 'diss' the current Church. Mr Weeder (NOT a God Botherer!)was involved in the discussion, and was impressed by him.
The Vicar suggested that I attend the Parish Church for 3 weeks, 'sit and see', he called it.
I am into week 2 and feel very welcomed and at home. I am astounded at the range of services on offer, as opposed to the 'one size fits all' of my current Church.
Please pray that I will make the right decision, that I will hurt no-one in whatever I decide to do, that I can maintain relationships and friendships.

Thanks for your prayers. I've almost finished the evidence pack. After that, I have to prepare my presentation for the disciplinary hearing next week. I did manage to get some of my other work done yesterday, which is a relief.
Apologies, I should have said that J's son was murdered two MONTHS ago, not two weeks - she's been waiting all this time for his body to be released. The funeral will finally be held this week. I don't think there's a date for the trial yet, though.

Thank you for all who have prayed for me and TME the last few weeks - as announced elsewhere our beautiful daughter arrived last week. I'm gradually emerging from the post-birth fug and hormonal roller-coaster and starting to feel vaguely human again!
I'd appreciate prayer for the wee one and me, that we get this feeding business sorted out. I think we're getting there, but it's two steps forward and one back, and those backward steps are so hard to cope with even though I know we're still basically going in the right direction. She's so tiny, and working so hard.
Still managing to read through the thread, with grateful thanks for this community and prayers for all the needs here, expressed and silent.

I shouted to the man in the shop and they came out and all three of us managed to lift him up, and they got him something from the shop to sit on. I don't know if they had to get him to the hospital, but he was in lots of pain and scared to try to walk again.

I have maybe a weird request.
I'm coaching kids in drama (and debate, but it's drama we're relating to, here) these kids have had the same two coaches for the last ten years, I'm new. When I was interviewed, I was asked about my philosophy on kids addressing controversial topics. I was honest - art happens at the edge of the cliff. you can stay way back, and be safe; you can try to push those limits too much, and go crashing down. but you touch people when you're on that edge.
So okay. the school people know where I stand on drama.
My kids have recently gotten their teeth into pieces that are controversial. good pieces. well written. powerful. but risky! And at our last tournament, the edgy pieces did very well. The pieces that went to final were about teenage mothers, the failings of sex ed in the schools, creationism, and a message from a mother to a daughter about how life will fuck you up.
big stuff. And because those tough subjects got a big response, the kids are now hungry to do other big subjects. their new pieces deal with mental illness, disability, alcoholic parents, and general heartbreak.
and now, my youngest student, who is from a VERY CONSERVATIVE HOME, has decided to do a piece on homosexuality. it's excellent. it will be a challenge for her, as she is building on a minimal skill base. but that's okay. and she's passionate about that piece, which is what we want. And she told me today that there is no way she can rehearse at home because her father would throw her out. I also know she is in a questioning place with her own sexuality.
I'm proud of my kids, and I believe what they are doing is empowering on many levels. I support them, and all along the way we talk about the difference between being on the edge and just being offensive.
So I'm asking for prayers for them, to be able to withstand some of the trouble they may come up against in trying to be young truth walkers. especially for my one freshman girl, who is risking harmony in her home by trying to speak truth.
and a few little prayers for me, please. that when members of the community get a head of steam on them, that I can handle it with grace, defend what the kids want to do, while still hearing the concerns and be able to walk that little cliff edge myself.

I would like prayers for my cat, Taffeta, please. She has pancreatitis. It's just been diagnosed, so she's started on anti-nausea meds before we start her on others, but I can't afford this. Between the initial visit and lab tests ($380) and now the meds, and the expensive food she won't eat (so I end up throwing it away), I'm really concerned about how to pay for this. My finances are pretty bad right now - I guess I could also use prayer for a new job or something. Depression isn't helping, either.

Piglet, thank you. Choral Evensong isn't really my thing but I took your advice and went to a service at another church, which helped a bit.
Still need to sort out my problems/feelings about my own church though...

Please pray for the pro-European protesters in Independence Square, Kiev, Ukraine, who are being cleared out, arrested, and in some cases beaten by riot police, armed with sticks, shields, and tear gas. Bulldozers are being used to tear down the camps. Nevertheless the numbers of protesters are swelling; people are thronging into the square. All this is taking place while EU representative Catherine Ashton is in Kiev attempting to negotiate a peaceful solution. Live camera feed and Twitter at #euromaidan. This is happening NOW.

For all
I could use prayer. I need a new job, or else I need to find a way to get the money to move back to Detroit (and get some kind of job there). My current employer seems to think I'm an unjustifiable expense, and has eliminated as many extra opportunities for me to get extra shifts as possible (saving a whopping $147.28 each shift they don't let me work, but that would be a lot of money to me). They know I'm not making ends meet, and the higher-ups, if I'm not imagining things, won't make eye contact with me. I'm worried that my job might be going away.
And my emotional health is still just a bit too unsteady for this right now. And I have no one to talk to - especially not at work.
Some of you know where I work; please don't mention it here, in case I'm reading things wrong. Hell, maybe they need that $147.28 more than I do - but if so, there are other places it could come from. I can't be what's standing between the institution's financial health and the wrecking ball. So I also can't help kinda taking it personally, even if it's not exactly meant that way. Because when I can't take my sick cat to the vet or replace my worn-out shoes, that's pretty personal for me. When I'm not sure I'll make rent next month - or the next - that's personal to me.
I'm waiting to hear from one job I interviewed for that would be great - so I'm assuming it's not going to happen. Meanwhile, I'm still looking, too.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record,please could I ask for prayer about my workload? Dealing with the miscreant member of staff in November had already put me behind by several weeks, but then last week's flu has made it worse. I have project work that must be finished by the end of January, but the staff thing has also left me with an action plan that I need to enact urgently. And on top of that, I've hit a sickness trigger and there are some broken things affecting my team that I can't fix. Starting to feel very stressed. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)

"My" 11 year-old (V) at the centre where I teach has told me his mum has asked his dad for a divorce.

He was really badly behaved on Friday, and he's only like that when he's miserable, so perhaps it is true. Prayers for all involved would be good though.

Please continue praying for V & his parents who, as far as I can tell, are living apart. They're spending Christmas together (with a lot of extended family), so if they can get through the day without upsetting each other or V (who is extremely sensitive & really takes things to heart), that would be great. V doesn't know what he's getting from his parents, and I said they'd probably still get him a joint present, as they still both love him, so here's hoping things aren't too confusing for him.
Apparently it was his mum's birthday on Friday, but it was his dad's week with him, and he hadn't even made a card for his mum, oops. So prayers for his mum that she hasn't felt too lonely & neglected and that V has coped being away from her. He's an only child, so I think I must have been one of the first people he told (I coaxed the info out of him), so goodness knows how long he had been trying to deal with all his emotions by himself.
I bought him a Christmas present as a pick-me-up/reward for being so brave & talking to me about his problems, so I hope it brings him some joy and comfort during what could potentially be a very awkward & difficult period.

I know I'm not on the ship so much recently, but do lurk. I'd love prayer for our little family. As ever it seems to get trickier at Christmas with our interesting various relationships and I do struggle with it all.
Mother always seems to come through but one year she won't.

my friend, Rick, was killed in a car accident this morning. about half a mile from where I used to live. all four dogs with him were killed, also. one of them may be a dog that my boys and I used to care for. Rick is also the father my my daughter's high school sweetheart, and she was close with him. this is bad in so many ways. I'm about to make a call to Antarctica to one of my dearest friends to tell her that her good friend and her dog were killed. and I'm sick to my stomach.

Talked to Antarctica. broke it to the kids. our former foster dog was not in the car, thank God. Rick's son is flying up tonight. broken hearts all over.
PS - Rick was a dog musher. there are 10 more dogs to account for, and his older son is snowshoeing out to the cabin in a storm to find them. so a prayer for Janus' safety during his heartbreak would be good, too.

Would like prayers, please for what to do in a situation where I honestly don't know whether something's wrong or just that it's not how I would do it.
If it's wrong, I might need to confront a neighbour and I don't want to fall our with them.

Thanks, Gussie! Am travelling two days later than I thought and still under the threat of freezing rain and snow - a four hour drive ahead later this morning. Losing a job I love as they haven't the money, packing up a whole house to move temporarily, looking for something else and wondering what's next makes for an unusual Christmas, to say the least.
Prayers for all who are not where they thought they would be, including all of those working to restore power after all the ice.

I am in tears beyond the power of smilies to convey. My dear, dear Dani is breathing on her own with a ventilator backup, but the brain damage is severe. We are waiting on the results of an MRI but the vegetative state continues.
Is it wrong of me to want to rant when 4 hours from now I celebrate the birth of our Lord?

Not wrong at all, I think I'd be more worried if you didn't!

My Beloved God-daughter had to have emergency dental treatment this afternoon. If today's treatment doesn't do the trick, then she'll need to get more treatment tomorrow. A dentist's chair is no place for an 11 year old on Christmas day. I'd appreciate prayers that she has a wonderful, pain- and dentist- free day tomorrow.

MRI has shown no reasonable life. As soon as they can get a harvesting team together they will be pulling plugs. We are hoping for today (Christmas) - she loved Christmas and was on the verge of applying for ministry.

Prayers still needed for J & J plus their family. J had to go back into the operating theatre yesterday to have his wound restitched. The family have rallied around J and are looking after her but this will not be the Christmas they planned. Please pray especially for their grandsons A & C.

Thank you for all the prayers for Dani, and private messages.
I spoke to my niece this morning when I got up (last night for her) and after the doctors saying they were going to pull plugs yesterday, they are now holding off until January 3rd
Her prognosis is extremely grim still.
Please continue to pray for her mum and the rest of the family.

My time for the last 8 days has been an even split between work, failure, and headaches.
Yesterday I was jubilant because I woke up without a headache and I even spent some time painting my nails in the evening.
Today I am of course paying for that bout of jollity with a massive headache. I need help to get rid of it.

Prayer for my friend, Elvin, who will probably be taken off life support today. I've learned so much from him about accepting people where they are and loving them even if they don't fit into any of my boxes. I prayer that life on the streets of Heaven will be all that he expects and more.

Could I ask for prayers for the family and friends of M, who died this morning. She was an active member of my church, and probably most charitable groups you could care to name. Our families are close friends and I've known her since I was a teenager. She had been seriously ill for some time, but when she went it was very quick: both a blessing and a shock.

For N, please, who is planning to meet with me in a week about a yet-unnamed horrible situation--but I'm very much afraid I know what it is... and for me, as I'm being asked to handle this in confidence, and I'm freaking out. As usual.

For Jahi McMath , a 13 year old girl on life support. During a recent tonsillectomy, she had a heart attack and is now on life support. Doctors at the hospital say she's brain dead. Family thinks otherwise, and want to give her a chance. Other facilities are willing to take her, under certain conditions. Courts are involved.
Some decisions will be made **tomorrow (Monday)**. Additional wrinkle, per TV news: another girl who had a tonsillectomy at that hospital wound up severely disabled, so there are questions.
Prayers for the best possible outcome, please--whatever that is.
Thanks.
