For people struggling with depression and health worries. ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)
Also, in the past couple of weeks my eyes have made a lot of progress with a change of diet, mega-vitamins and stress-busting. I'm really hoping that some longstanding visual problems may even clear up completely - it would be so good to get rid of them and see clearly again, and I do now feel there is hope. (This is the third episode, and it seems to take longer each time to clear up.)

Another job possibility has come up. Once again my immediate reaction is fear, and to see all the problems linked with this. Which, in turn, feeds the fear that I am never going to be able to hold down a job again. And this is only a possibility - not even an interview, let alone an actual offer.
Prayers for courage would be much appreciated.

BTW, thanks for your prayers re making it to an appointment, even though I had the flu. I was well enough then to go, but got a call ahead of time that the person I was to see had the flu! Ditto with a different appointment. And my flu is getting worse again. Hmmm...maybe I need to word my prayer requests more carefully...? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

My colonoscopy has been scheduled for 28th February. It would have been even sooner, but I changed it to accommodate other people who don't even appreciate it. *grump* Still, Thank You Lord that I don't have to wait until April, which it could have been if I chose a different hospital.

God bless you people, and thank you for praying! You are such a comfort to me. I am now at home, and going slightly stir crazy. That must mean I'm getting lots better!
I would very much appreciate continued prayers re finances and Mr Lamb's test on Saturday. If he fails it, I doubt he'll try again.

Prayers please for my son, S, who has just left home (again) to start his first professional job. I'm still worried it won't pan out, though I have no real reason to think that

I know this thread is mainly for more personal requests but please pray for Tunisia. Tomorrow could be a very difficult day for the country here as it deals with the aftermath of the assassination this week. The funeral takes place tomorrow, a general strike has been called and there are likely to be many demonstrations which could easily turn nasty. 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.

Please pray for N, who I'm representing as union steward. Despite (nominally) following the right procedures, management are still victimising this poor disabled man at every opportunity. It's been dragging on for two years now and they still don't understand what 'reasonable adjustments' means. God help us all.

Just a small thing - I have either tendonitis or arthritis in my left wrist, and have had whatever it is for the last six years or so. Today at 3pm I'm having an MRI to come up with a proper diagnosis. I'm a bit nervous about being in the MRI. I know; I'm a wuss. I'd appreciate prayer.

Prayers for me, please. Yesterday I freaked out about a knock on our front door... I had just gotten out of the shower and was stark naked and for some reason I flipped out, thinking the door was going to open and someone would see me in the buff... anyway, I hit the hallway door with my shoulder, tried to counter-balance and slammed my left pinkie toe into a full can of paint! Owwwww! Luckily, we don't think it's broken but I have to walk on it... I have no choice... gotta go to the bank and get medicine for the cat, etc. Prayers that I can put on a shoe tomorrow and limp to get chores done...

Thank for your prayers. Thankfully things stayed largely peaceful in Tunis today despite the enormous numbers attending the funeral and the general strike. Hoping things will continue to stay calm and that a workable political way forward can be found.

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.

Could I ask for prayers for my friend T? He's chronically depressed as well as having all sorts of physical problems, and is terrified (despite his GP's reassurances) that the DWP are going to take away his disability benefit and force him to try to find a job.
And for another friend, P, who thinks her cancer is creeping back and is making a list of things to do before she dies.

Readig and praying (I need to get into the habbit if checking up on this thread regularly and posting in it!)
I would like prayer for William- diagnosed with cancer that has spread and his wife who is carring for him.
Barry recovering from treatment and his wife as she cares for him.
And my mum as she waits the result of a scan following the last of her palliative chemo therapy and Dad as he tries to care for her. They need to come to terms with how far they are from the end of that journey.
I could do with being straightened out myself with work, church, th eold black dog and even knowing what I want to do.

For Adrienne.
For daisymay's daughter.
For Dormouse and Mr Dormouse, for sufficient employment.
For Golden Key, for healing.
For Grammatica, for a better job somewhere else.
For Gussie's son.
For Lamb Chopped and also for Mr Lamb.
For Lucia and for Tunisia.
For Nicolemr and her brother.
For Niteowl, for healing.
For North East Quine.
What PaulBC said.
For Starbug, for healing, and for justice for her comrade.
For The 5th Mary, that would be a funny story if only you hadn't hurt your foot. And, uh, didn't have to clean up the paint.
For The Midge and parents, for all the needful things.
Good news! The Telemum definitely has hyperparathydroidism so a quick inpatient operation to pop out the offending growth is all that's needed.
Bad news: she just went to bed with what I hope is just an upset stomach, not the disease escalating to urgency, nor something worse. UPDATE: she's up and saying she's better, all that typing for nothing UPDATE: she had to run. As you were.
I need a bit more self-discipline. I don't *want* more self-discipline but I *need* it. Oh the year I gave up self-discipline for Lent, that was a good year.
