In thanksgiving for this prayer navy
For all who have asked for prayers and for all unspoken prayers
That i may discern the difference between being humble and being a doormat, especially in response to rude and/or hostile behaviour, and that I myself be more patient and less judgemental and passive-agressive

I know who I need to talk to.
I'm not entirely sure I want to talk to him, but I know that sooner or later I'm going to have to.
What I don't know is whether to simply wait for something to happen or to try to make it.
So, I guess that's a request for guidance and clarity.

For Maria D.V., for healing, For Lamb Chopped's day in church.
For birdsoftheair, Mr B, and Dad B.
For Scarlet, for a rope-ladder.
For those living with Aids in the South African mountains.
For Robert Armin.
Yay, St Gwladys! For Jack the Lass's E, her parents, and her sister.
The Telemum is weary, weak, stiff-kneed, has a useless right arm. Generally since her accident in September she has felt Old, and she thinks there is only one cure for this. Please pray that her vitality will be restored.
So, the job... Apart from getting there, and pulling off a dazzling performance every day without putting in excessive hours, I need to focus on two things: getting to the next level, and managing money better. Maybe earning more, somehow.
For malik3000, melanoma be gone (obviously) and also for mastery of the assertiveness thing. (try Miss Manners who is hilarious)
For guidance and wisdom and if need be, a successful conversation for saysay.

Praying through all this - and the rest further up the thread. Thank you Telepath once more. Still no idea on the job front - I'm in work but nothing much going on so the days are long while awaiting developments.

Prayers requested for our Search Committee and our Vestry (which I am on) as we move to the final stages in our rector call process. The Search Committee will be meeting tonight to discuss who to present to us on Vestry as candidates for interview. (I think they made their last site visit yesterday.)
This is a huge responsibility and has occasionally made me lose sleep over the last eighteen months. I'm comforted somewhat by the report from the search committee that all the candidates are definitely strong, capable candidates. But there will be a lot of hard work and tough decisions ahead. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us.

For wisdom for Aung San Suu Kyi as she takes the seat in the Burmese Parliament, and for progress on the path to freedom for the Burmese people.
For malik3000's patience and assertiveness.
For Enigma's job situation to get sorted out.
For Mom Chopped, for healing. For Mr Lamb to cope when he gets the news.
For kaytee's J, for employment and for her to be comforted during the breakup.
For Campbellite and his Mom.
For Japes' work situation, and to keep calm.
For a successful outcome for the Search Committee and Vestry.
For healing for wheelie racer, and a smooth house move.
I have just done my accounts and as usual, I'm overdrawn. I keep trying different ways of keeping myself on the straight and narrow but I'm just no good at this. I would like to pray that, somehow, by the end of August I'm back in the black again, and that I finally learn to control these green pieces of paper.

We'd really appreciate any spare prayers going at the moment. Too much accumulated general stress (money, work, lack of sleep, being on my own with kids during week, ill health, etc) and on top of that specific stress - mum is taking a turn for the worse, nan on her last legs and needing support and Teaspoons christening on Sunday (not at all a big "do" but still needs organising and my mum not to turn up drunk at).

Praying for all those mentioned in Telepath's list
And for Telepath too, Lord give Telepath wisdom on how not to overspend, and your courage and strength follow this wisdom into action.
And for Emma Louise too, Oh Lord, bing some respite into her life, show her which way to turn, what to do, where to seek help. Enable her to gain strength facing each task ahead, for her Mum, Nan and Teaspoon, giving to each according to their needs.... ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)

The Telemum's right arm is so weak (through lifetime wear and tear) that she can't use it. This is very discouraging to her. Please let it be much better when she wakes up.

Reading back through and praying
for Telepath's budgeting, the gifts of financial savvy and discernment so that she might stay out of debt
for Emma Louise, under so much stress -- a special prayer for Teaspoon's christening
that Telemum's right arm might be strengthened
that I might learn to deal with a lonely friend who is a compulsive talker and drives me crazy each time she phones. I need to be less polite and more direct, but in a kind way

I didn't get the law scholarship despite sinking several hundred pounds in traveling up and down the country getting experience prior to the interview. I must've committed the unforgivable sin somewhere along the line I reckon *sigh*. (and if you've ever heard my blasphemy you'll know it's quite a possiblity!)

For Emma Louise, for money, successful work, good sleep, good cheer with kids, good health, healing for her mum, peace for her nan, and a successful christening for Teaspoon. Yes, since our prayers are powerful, let's see if they can actually get me back into the black and keep me there. Mindful of the unheard-of miracles bestowed upon Lamb Chopped and Jahlove recently... If He can do that... Telemum full of beans this morning, so, powerful prayers are powerful.
For Mary LA to find the right strategy to deal with her friend.
For Yam-uk. At least for the financial investment to be restored to him. Please show him where the next opportunity is to be found.
For the young people in Ethne Alba's city, for those affected by the death of the young man, and for the safe return of the other man. For the older adults to understand,
For K.
For another K.
For L.

Dear Lord, hold us all clasped tightly to your bosom. You know our needs even before we do. Sometimes we ask you for things that it is not your will for us to have. Help us to understand that your infinite wisdom far surpasses our weak understanding, and that you will always give us what you know is best for us. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

A few weeks ago I asked for prayers for my daughter H, finally having tests after a bad fall. The MRI scan proved negative, thank God, but she is still having trouble with her left eye and further tests are planned. Please pray that she has no lasting damage and that she may be healed from whatever's causing the trouble.
Prayers for all here. Lord, have mercy.
