I am in a lot of pain and my GP practice has a policy of not prescribing what several other healthcare professionals I've spoken to say I need. I'm too tired (mum of a newborn) and sore to argue or even really to understand what is going on and worried that the floods of tears I'm in as a result will escalate to something worse.

Let us all take heart from the miracle of staggering proportions that has been granted to Lamb Chopped. If it had been in the Old Testament, nobody'd believe it.
I have ten days left in my current post. We have a half dozen possible sources of funding, nothing actual. I need the £s.
so much to pray for...... <sigh>

I'd like to request prayers for my mum (an unbeliever) today - she's having an operation on some uterine fibroids today. A minor operation but the heavy bleeding the fibroids cause has given her anaemia and so she struggles with tiredness and the emotional effects of that. Thanks. Her name is Helen if that helps.

Please could you pray for my 8 year old niece. She is a very allergic child, and has been having persistent tummy-ache for the last two months. That probably means there is yet another food somewhere to add to the list of no-nos. Pray that my sister and the doctors can work out soon what the trouble is.
I add my prayers also to the ones above.

Sorry to hear that, Jade Constable. Praying for the healing of your mum Helen.
Good news, duchess. For you, the Magician, and the Girl.
For the Maitland refugee reception centre in Cape Town, and for more refugee shelters established.
For healing for Welease Woderwick.
For harmony hope.
(in continued amazement at Lamb Chopped's miracle)
There is disturbed-sounding yelling and swearing, in English, from a nearby house. Hope that turns out for the good, whatever it's about.
For North East Quine's M, for his mother's healing even if a miracle is needed to achieve that. For strength and comfort for her husband and family.
Usual financial and employment stuff for me please. Also please guide me to apply for the right things tomorrow.
For the Telemum.
For a private intention.
