Please pray for Paul, a 97 year old, who collapsed at our Easter day service. I have heard no news about his condition, and while he was talking as they took him to the ambulance, I would think most things at that age can be quite serious.

A very young daughter of a pastor I know is in ICU. Last night her temp spiked, she had internal bleeding. They are holding off operating, hoping her body will repair itself. She told her dad she is feeling better but still in pain.
Please pray for B to get better. Please pray for God to hold her precious little body in His Hands and do a mighty work on her as she is not out of the woods yet.
thx.

All thanks and praise to God for this glorious Resurrection Day! For all who have suffered loss, especially for the Trott family. For this Ship, For the Captain and crew, for all who sail upon her, and for all those Shipmates who now sail the seas above. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.
I ask your prayers for my friend and colleague, Tim who is facing surgery for tumors on his spine. Non malignant (thanks be to God) but causing him problems.
And also I ask your prayers for my cousin Bryan, who also is facing surgery.

For those praying for M. I have just picked up an update:
quote:
Because of the fluid in M's lungs his normal physio and communication therapy were suspended and his drinking was back to 5 sips from a teaspoon 3 times a day for the two and a half weeks that it took to sort out the problem. But since then he has continued to make progress. He got used to breathing more normally with a speech valve on his trachy and the trachy has now been removed altogether; M is coping very well even though it is harder work for him. He has also been increasing the length of time he sits in his wheelchair, where he is learning to use a switch by moving his knee which may in time help him to communicate.
Please keep him and his foster family in your prayers.

For every one.
Been away from computer for a few days and several things, good and bad, have happened in this time.
I give thanks for a wonderful and uplifting Holy Week and Easter and some wonderful time with friends, including, but not limited to, my wonderful church family.
My worry about my cousin has increased. By the way he acts and looks I increasingly believe that he is on angel dust though he vehemently denies it. It's not just me, others have noted how he acts and looks. So sad for such a talented and basically good-hearted person. He went to New York this weekend, and as much as I love him like the brother and best friend he is, I don't want him back in my home unless he can do a turnaround. I don't know how this might be able to happen -- it's no where near happening at this time. I don't know what else i could do for him except, of course, pray. Will it take a miracle? If so, that's what I pray for.
Alas, Maundy Thursday evening while i was out, someone broke in and stole my newly refurbished and wonderfully-working laptop computer, and some electronic equipment and passport belonging to my cousin C. Prayers for those who feel they must do such a thing. (Even tho it could have been one of the people my cousin, in his poor judgement has hung out with, in this case very strong evidence actually points in an entirely different direction, i.e., to some people who used to visit my neighbor who recently moved out.) My my home's security be reasonably strengthened.
My 3rd of 4 melanenoma infusions is tomorrow (Tuesday) -- may it do the job!
Lat but not least, today is my last day at my library position. Tomorrow I will officially be a retiree. It feels strange. I don't feel like a retiree. May it just be a more fruitfully active phase in my life. And may my melanoma be sufficiently killed or kept away that this may be so. And may all my financial/medical benefits stuff function smoothly, including having a much-needed car. [ 09. April 2012, 19:04: Message edited by: malik3000 ]

so, it may be a bit of an odd request, but could you all include our moose in your prayers?
It's been a rough winter - deep snow AND cold. now, as things are slowly melting out the moose are starving and stressed. They're acting aggressive at times - very dangerous for us wee humans - but my bigger concern is that they've just started dropping. like, in the middle of the road, in driveways, yards, parking lots. the cute yearling who hung around my neighborhood all winter hasn't been seen in weeks and I fear the worst for him.
it's spring, the end is in sight, but for a lot of them it's too little too late. Plus, it's heart-breaking seeing these skinny and weak creatures who are usually so lovely and strong.

Please pray for:
Firstly, my Beloved Goddaughter's mother was badly bitten by their cat two days ago and is currently in hospital on IV anti-biotics to fight the infection.
Secondly, my Beloved Goddaughter is always anxious when her mother is unwell, and she really doesn't need this. Please pray for a sense of security for her, for confidence, health, happiness and some fun in her life.
Thirdly, this is totally out of character for the cat, so a prayer for her would not go amiss either.

Dad's funeral today. It's a completely unknown quantity, as far as my feelings about it go. My major concern at the moment is my son's behaviour. He has been particularly unpleasant the last few days. I know he doesn't want to come to the funeral but we have no option there so there's not much I can do about it. The service is a eucharist so it's going to be longer and more formal than groover is used to and I am currently going cold just thinking about it.

Beloved Goddaughter's mother is about to go into theatre to have the infected cat bite drained under general anesthetic. Surely it's unusual for a bite from a pet cat to result in a two-day hospital stay?? I'm concerned there may be underlying health issues, but perhaps I'm being unduly pessimistic?

For Mary LA's Jan, for healing.
For North East Quine's goddaughter's mother, for healing. For calm for Beloved Goddaughter, security, confidence, health, happiness, and fun in her life. And for the cat's issues to be straightened out (you're right, it isn't normal for cats to bite people like that - at all - and yes animal bites can be that serious).
For groover to get through the funeral without it getting even worse than it already is. For all the birdies. Lord comfort and uphold them.
For Japes's G, for healing.
For the moose.
For all affected by the earthquake/tsunami in Aceh.
Churchy - I'm so sorry. For healing for your Dad, even if a miracle is needed to achieve that.
For QLib's S, for healing.
For jobs, money and energy in the Malin household. For a nursery place for Malinette.
For Jodi to know how to help; for this person to be made whole and free of pain.
Usual, perpetual job stuff for me please. For me to know the best way to spend my time tomorrow. And, yes, my art - my ART, I say.
Have made great progress in the last few days/month, but am still focussed on the negative. I'd say shame on me, but that's the exact mindset I'm trying to get out of.

Three years ago a friend of mine had collapsed with a sudden stroke and was paralyzed, unable to speak or walk for some time, though speech and mobility returned after a while and she's normal now. The doctors had had to monitor her condition and she had a succession of tests and treatments and wondered how long she'd got.
I posted a request here for prayer for her recently as she was going for an angiogram. The hospital postponed it, but I wanted to let you know that your prayers weren’t in vain. To the doctors’ surprise, when they were finally able to examine her a few days ago, they found that the trouble-spot in her brain had diminished to virtually nothing at all and she was told that it is very unlikely ever to happen again. This was three years to the day when it happened.
She’s asked me to say thank you so very much for your prayers. She has been so grateful for you remembering her. It feels as if the shadow of death has been lifted from her, and she has her life ahead of her now – and is very grateful for it.
As am I: a grateful thank you from me too.

Thanks, friends. The doctors are now saying my dad has weeks, not months. I've made a reservation for next Sat. and now hoping it's not too late.
Please pray that I get to see him and that his condition is not so bad that I can't talk to him.
(My family is in the US, I'm in Japan, and I've just started the semester, so it takes more time to get there).

Hooray for a successful angiogram!
For Churchy LeDad, for healing. For Churchy to get to him in time.
For healing of North East Quine's Beloved Goddaughter's mother.
For T., for healing.
For E.
For S.
Neighbour R moved out today. God bless him in this transition. Selfishly, may we ask that our new neighbours be good and quiet people? J.'s memory loss has spontaneously improved, so obviously prayers here are helping - please keep it up.
Jobs, good habits, ART! That sort of thing.
For K.
For S.
For Auntie Telenun.
And that prayer I whispered earlier.
