Here at the beginning of the New Year, now underway in the east, we bring our prayers before God.

Once again I begin with the prayer 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.

Dani's life support will be removed between 2 and 4 pm EST on New Year's Day, pending availability of the organ harvesters.

Farewell to my lovely great-niece, her beautiful voice, her love and patience with special-needs children.

Please pray for her mother, her three little sisters, her grandmother, her father and her paternal grandparents. Heck, pray for us all, who knew and loved her, as we move forward with a huge Danielle-shaped hole in our hearts.

We have just heard that M, my 9 year old granddaughter, was admitted to hospital this morning. She has not been well for several weeks. Tests are being done and hopefully we will know something soon.

This is the family which was split just a few weeks ago and my DIL has generally been unpleasant.

Bad news. Hospital is 99% sure it's leukaemia. She will have spinal tap, brain fluid drain, lumbar puncture, bone marrow puncture tomorrow under general anaesthetic to see which type of leukaemia it is.

[Votive] for all.

Please pray for N, my work colleague's partner who's going in for an operation for breast cancer on monday. It's partly exploratory so please pray they don't find any more than they already know about.

On a smaller scale I'd appreciate prayer for my anxiety/depression. I was doing much better toward the end of the year but Christmas and New Year has taken its toll and I feel myself slipping into bad habits and I need to start again with the things I know help. Even writing that makes me angry - I hate that I have to work just to maintain an even emotional level. Which in turn makes me feel guilty because I know lots of people have it worse.

Lord, have mercy!

I will try to pray with y'all this year because I know it still works, at least some of the time.

Mostly I just cross myself and walk on.

For all shipmates who post and for those who have silent requests, I pray. For those who sorrow and are in pain, I pray. For those hungry or cold or sick, I pray.

For swift and accurate resolution of the arson at the Chinese consulate, here in SF. Several years ago, someone set fire to the gate. This time, they used some sort of incendiary device in the entry way. No injuries, AFAIK. A hate crime is one possibility that's being considered. There are lots of Asian San Franciscans, and a hate crime has got to be nerve-wracking for them.

Thanks.

Could you include prayers for everyone affected by the latest wild weather. There are flood warnings in effect all over the UK, but there's a severe flood warning in effect just on the other side of the river from us, where our eldest son & his partner and our daughter live. High tide is at 8:30pm GMT and people are already being evacuated from properties most at risk because there's going to be some flooding - it's a matter of how much and exactly where.

I have just resigned from one of my teaching posts (they were requesting voluntary redundancies, it is a course that I find hard to fit around my other commitments and taking this redundancy may protect my other courses which I'd like to keep). I think I have made the right decision and feel quite liberated having done so but I have bipolar disorder so the urge to do more work is compelling. Really I want peace of mind about my decision, especially as I sometimes feel guilty about not working more when my husband works so hard (he is very supportive about my decision and is discouraging me from getting more work). Please pray that I can get rid of some of my anxiety about this.
Many thanks

Thank you for this, Telepath.

Little Miss M is scheduled for first chemo on Friday. Wednesday down here now. Scan of heart muscle yesterday to be used as a baseline marker for the future showed a previously unknown hole in the heart. It hasn't stopped an active little girl in the past and nothing will be done unless it causes problems.

However, she developed pancreatitis yesterday with no apparent cause and has morphine through a central line for the pain. Chemo goes ahead regardless.

Prayers would be appreciated for me and my wee S3 class. We have had many ups and downs, but I am very fond of all the vivid, funny, goofy people in the class.

We have had a difficult time this year with behaviour, stemming from one source in particular. I've done my best, and had lots of help, working on the relationships, and trying to make the atmosphere good.

Stuff just busts out though. I had to call the duty head today, and it turned out she'd already seen the pupil in question, Miss R, twice that day. I then had words with Miss R's 'follower', a daft lassie who has got caught up in Miss R's messed up agenda.

Wee follower said to me: "I hate this class. I hate the people. I'd rather sit in a room on my own and do my work."

It really saddens me. She wants it to stop, and she's pretty much the first to join in the minute it kicks off.

And I really feel for the rest of the kids, who are just trying to work away and get on with something and are so BORED with Miss R and her agenda.

Please hold us all in prayer tomorrow, when we are in the library just after lunch. I'm hoping that the good people from our Guidance department will give me a hand. Please think of:
Miss D and Miss J, two young workers.
Miss A, the follower.
Miss C, another follower.
Miss R, who is a hairdresser, but unfortunately has to be in full time education till she's 16.
All the boys, who sometimes join in but often just look bemused.

Thank you for your prayers, I intend to be a bit more of a regular on this thread again for the next little while.

I have had one not-negative response but I'm still feeling a bit fragile waiting for others.

As a Presbyterian, I don't think St Anthony will listen to me. Could some kind Shipmate pray that we find an item which was deliberately placed in a "safe place" last August, by a family member who promptly forgot where that "safe place" was.

I have had the task of informing my brothers. I am thankful that they were both able to visit him at the hospice whilst he was ill.

Please pray for my cousins and for his ex wife and three sons.

Little Miss M has her first dose of chemo for the leukaemia this afternoon.

The pancreatitis has been caused by the steroids she is on. If a balance can be found here, they will let her go home as we were told that her body will be used to bacteria etc in her own home.

As for the rest of us, it still feels as if we have been hit by a bus or similar. It is hard adjusting the mind to what will be the new normal, actually even finding out what the the new normal entails.

I may or may not have asked for prayer, having rather suddenly and impulsively jumped ship from the Church I have attended for some years, to attend my Parish Church. There have been issues, but I have many friends there. I know I have left some people feeling hurt and disappointed.

Tomorrow is the funeral of one of the older members of the Church, who I was fond of, and who was a great support when things were difficult at Church. ( A scandal, which I had to manage).

I need to go to the funeral, to support the family, and to say 'good-bye for now' to him.

Please pray that my attendence will not be a distraction to others, (particularly the Vicar!)

For bannination of the Finance Monster. (In December, I have to tax, reinsure, MOT, breakdown-cover, fully service, and renew the parking permit for my car. I also just had my annual brain checkup which is of course compulsory, unfunded, and entirely private. To prepare for all these wholly predictable expenses that hit every year exactly at Christmas, I was extra careful to make sure that I spent money like a drunken sailor ahead of time. The Finance Monster has set a formal table for 12, has tucked a napkin under his chin, and is licking his lips in my general direction. And yet my invitation seems to be lost in the post. Dear Miss Manners, should I be worried?)

Many things are causing me excessive stress and I'm starting to get too anxious to cope properly. It should all right itself but I need confidence and also calm to get through. The finance monster chases me a little which is also nerve wracking.

May everyone have a blessed 2014.

I've been away from the computer more lately, not from bad reasons -- just due to changes in my routine and responsibilities. And I've basically been away from the Ship, not having the time to get into interesting but time-consuming discussions. But this is one part of the Ship I've missed and don't want to be away from, and hope to continue to be a part of this prayer navy. Knowing that Shipmates have been praying for me has been very strengthening and comforting.

I give thanks that over 2 years since my diagnosis of metastatic melanoma the small mets have remained stable and small and I remain feeling very healthy. God is SO good.

Prayers for everyone on the Ship and all the needs expressed on this thread:

for the repose if the soul of Danielle, and for Pete C and all who loved her.

fot St Gwladys' Jo and her family

for Ye Olde Motherboard's S

for Lothlorien's Miss M

for Telepath, may her productivity flourish (non-stressfully), the finance monster be crushed under her heel, and Visiting Cat be happy and healthy

for all who feel their life is not worth living

for Bene Gesserit, having to undergo the grimness (and, IMHO, the humiliation) of having to re-apply for one own's job.

for the feral cat family of 5, mama, a real sweetheart, and 4 young ones (all weaned) -- i was able to get mama spayed, and she is temporarily recuperating post-op inside -- to the annoyance of Pulsar, my feline housemate of 5+ years. May the whole family have safe lives, and may the little ones get placed

for me to make more productive use of the time God has given me; for me to somehow better organize my life and finances (the Finance Monster has been seen lurking in the area), and may i be able to coordinate what i need to coordinate to finally get a car.

for my energetic, talented and big-hearted cousin that he may get a more mature focus in his life (he's in his late 30s)

Little Miss M came through the first chemo session quite well. However doctors are still concerned about the pancreatitis developing so strongly so soon. Her blood sugar levels are also elevated, almost to the point of needing insulin. This is possibly a side effect of her other treatment but is being watched closely.

May the closes on either side of the building be filled with God's light. May His holy angels stand guard, and His spirit enfold in love to all who come near. May all people who step inside find a garden for their soul, find freedom, find home.

Please pray for me. I've been feeling unwell for a week now, in what seems to be yet another manifestation of trouble following the anesthesia reaction/respiratory failure incident I had a couple of years ago. I've been getting bouts of lightheadedness and weakness that seem to come and go randomly, and it's made me fearful of exercise, of walking outside, of doing many everyday things. My photosensitivity -- one of the original issues I had -- has also seemed to be focused now on certain kinds of fluorescent lighting, like the lights in supermarkets or other "big box" stores; if I don't wear dark glasses I start feeling like a seizure is coming on. It's just been very wearying and disheartening. I'm going to see my neurologist this Thursday

As the only female manager in our department, I find this type of meeting difficult, as i feel forced to act in a louder, more strident manner just to make myself heard - and this isn't really 'me'.

I've been hesitating about posting, as I don't know what I'm asking people to pray about, but I have a friend who emigrated to Australia years ago, and for the past fifteen years or so we've been in regular touch by text and email. She was diagnosed with cancer two or three years ago and since her treatment it's been in remission. She suddenly stopped communicating in mid-September, and apart from a brief birthday greeting a few days after her last email I haven't heard a thing from her since. I sent her an e-card for her birthday ten days ago but it hasn't been opened. I just don't know what's happening to her; she's a technophobe so it could be that there's something wrong with her computer, she could be very busy, she could be in hospital with a recurrence of the cancer. Of course I fear the worst but I hope I'm wrong. Please would you pray for P, whatever her circumstances?

D was not a bad guy, but I was not close to him, his death was not a surprise, and my main concern is how Mum is coping. I don't want to to sound ungrateful when people offer condolences, I have to keep reminding myself to just say "thank you" and not worry about explaining the relationship. So I guess I need prayers mainly for the wisdom to keep my foot out of my mouth.

I have more info on the situation with "my" 11 year-old (V) and his divorced parents. Dad has moved in with a lady who he's got pregnant, she's due to give birth to a little girl any day now, from what I've heard. She already has an autistic child who must be about V's age, who goes to his school, from what I've gathered.
Prayers for all involved would be great, as it strikes me as being a great big bloody emotional mess which could hurt V a lot. He really takes things to heart and takes the weight of the world on his shoulders. His mum gave up work this year but now has to get a new job, so prayers that she finds something & is able to make a fresh start would be great.

Our church had a break-in over the weekend. They didn't steal anything, but have trashed the vestry. During our service yesterday, the forensic people came to take fingerprints (from the damage, not the congregation!) Thank God the building was empty at the time and so no-one was hurt. Praying too for the thieves to repent and turn their lives away from crime.

Praying for all who have heavy workloads and deadlines.

I have probably posted that I have moved to my Parish Church, from the one outside my Parish, to which I have belonged for years.

The Parish Church has been amazingly welcoming and I have been invited to the next PCC to get to know the people on it. (Excuse my odd grammer here!)

The Vicar has also said he is keen to get me involved fairly quickly, without waiting for my official transfer.

Please pray that everything continues to go well, and that I settle in and can offer something to the Church.

I remain in touch with lots of people at my previous Church, and have tried to make clear that this transfer is positive, from all points of view.

Love this idea! Not at all sure how they went, I don't think I messed the interviews up but not sure I'm what they're looking for. So I guess give thanks for the not messing up! And prayer for any possible decision making would be appreciated.

As far as I know she was well until a couple of days ago and so it is very sudden for everyone. They are strong Christians and have the joy in the hope of meeting J. in heaven again and knowing she is in a joyful place, but I'm sure it must be a dreadful time for her family.

Suffice it to say that our finances are in greater peril then ever, and I am wholly adrift now concerning what kind of work I ought to seek, and whether I should retrain for a different field. We are without health insurance as well, unless my husband can wangle something. Please pray that God gives me wisdom and courage and knowledge of what in the world he intends me to do now? and that I find decent paying work soon. Please God.

DP got a phone call from her nurse-practitioner yesterday, requesting a call-back. It didn't sound serious; in fact, DP had gotten some x-rays for an arthritic foot a couple of weeks ago and assumed the phone call was regarding that. When DP called this morning, though, her nurse-practitioner said that the radiologist studying DP's recent mammogram noticed some nodules that he wants watched for the next six months. The NP said that she was calling just as a heads-up, so that DP wouldn't be surprised or overly alarmed when her written results came in the mail.

I'm trying to curb my anxiety here...we have a friend who recently was diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram turned up something questionable and she wound up having a mastectomy within just a couple of weeks of the discovery; so I'm thinking that if the doctor had been more concerned about what he found on the film he'd have DP in for a biopsy/other tests immediately.

But the call still rattled me terribly. And while DP is keeping calm about it -- as she notes, she's had so many life-threatening medical conditions over the years and survived them she's not going to get upset about this new thing unless/until she has to -- obviously this isn't the kind of phone call one wants to get on a sunny Friday morning. A little while later she said, "I'm really tired...I'm taking a nap," which tends to be her body's first line of defense when she's stressed about something; she just can't stay awake and has to sleep for awhile.

Thanks for your prayers, everyone...more than anything, for some calm and a sense of perspective on our parts, and for skill/guidance on the part of the healthcare professionals following up on the findings.

I have to speak to a member of staff today about an outburst in the office on Friday (no, it's a different member of the team!) He had a mini-meltdown about having to carry out a particular task, even though it was always the plan for him to do this. I was on the phone to a contractor at the time and, by the time my call had ended, his shift had finished.

I feel as if I'm drowning. We are all extremely busy with extra project work and these continual episodes are more than I can cope with. I feel like a rubbish manager: my team isn't a team any more, it's just a group of individuals pulling in different directions. We've been too busy for too long and it shows no sign of stopping.

This person who had the outburst is my friend outside work - allegedly. Friends don't do this to each other.

Posted by malik3000 (# 11437) on :
 
Starting as I write this, according to local TV news, the most critical part of the current winter storm has just arrived in Atlanta. The big issue is liquid rain freezing on contact with the frozen ground, power lines and trees, especially such as softwood pines which break more easily as the ice builds up. So many hundreds of thousands of people in the metro Atlanta area may lose power (and, even more importantly HEAT, if the homes are all-electric such as mine). The freezing rain is forecast to continue until around sunrise tomorrow morning. The damage to the power grid could be sufficiently extensive that it could take over a week for some to get their power back. (On TV someone just said the situation is gradually getting worse.)

So, my prayers to the God of Love who holds all creation in hand, are that the actuality proves less bad than forecast. My prayers are for all who may be stuck in homes for days without heat, especially the very young, old, or in poor health. I'm praying for animals carelessly left outside or even worse, left chained outside. Prayers certainly for the people who must be outside, especially the workers repairing the damages, and medical emergency people.

Could I ask for prayers for a tricky work situation? I work in a team of three and the team leader is in many ways a pain in the arse whose decisions I don't always agree with. However her heart is in the right place and since she's taken over the role she's developed the service in interesting ways. The other team member is sneakily trying to undermine her and although I agree with a lot of her points I'm not happy with the way she's going about it. I feel trapped in the middle between them and I don't deal with conflict well [Frown]

Pray for T, the father in my Godfamily. His brother rang to say he has been arrested tonight. I do not know why nor do I think does his brother but this means that people need to know more than T has been telling.

T will be out of his depth whatever the truth of the situation.

Thank you all for praying. Friday night she was very ill indeed. Lots of visits through the night by doctors and senior doctors. Antibiotic has been changed while they wait for full test results too come through. She was very lethargic yesterday but was better after yet another transfusion and a glass of p[nk milk.

I think she'll be back in hospital longer than the mandatory seven days this time.

Still there a few days later. [Confused]

Long weekend here so seeing the Doc tomorrow. Probably not much but the last time somebody said that about something on my skin, it turned out to be a good thing the Dermatologist removed it.

I have therefore turned to Plan B. B stands for Beer, and after three pints at lunchtime I feel quite a bit better! Here's hoping (and praying) it doesn't turn me into a drunk, albeit one with little or no back pain.

R already lost his dad when he was a young boy, and the only other member of his immediate family lives on the other side of the world. Fuck cancer.

R [my brother in law] came home from a week in hospital last night - he is on a fairly strict regimen of medication and rest and they hope, eventually, to be able to do an angioplasty but at the moment his low kidney functions prevents that. Hopefully today he will get to see his baby, born 21st Feb, for only the second time.

Asking for your prayers for Christchurch, NZ. There are over 4000 houses awaiting re-building in Christchurch and many people living in crowded situations, or who cannot find rental accommodation as the prices have skyrocketed. 1st March was the first day of autumn so winter is not far away.

Your prayers would be appreciated, please, for J, as the trial of her son's murderer starts this week.

And also for me, as I have a sickness absence review meeting on Wednesday with my manager. I believe that my job has been making me ill, but my manager says he has no concerns - even though one of my absences was soon after I had a meeting with him to discuss stress. I had to ask for this review and I think he's seeing it as a challenge to his authority, when my intention is to make him aware of just jow unhealthy our department is at the moment.

[Votive] for all in need, especially Abigail.

If your church is making you want to cry, it's not the place for you. It's not your fault (and possibly not theirs either) - it just isn't the right sort of church for you.

If it's feasible, why not take next Sunday off, and go and do something completely different instead (maybe go for a walk, visit a museum or a country house, whatever floats your boat), and have a think about whether there's a different church that you could try the following week. If there's one that appeals to you, see if they've got a web-site that'll tell you more about the sort of place it is.

Good luck!

Abagail- I have just moved from a Church in which I was feeling increasingly unhappy, for all sorts of reasons.

I was really apprehensive about leaving the few friends who 'got' me. I wondered and prayed about either attending my Parish church, or return to my Baptist roots.

I prayed a lot- and happened to meet the Vicar of my own Parish, in our local town. We had met once before, many years ago, yet he recognised me! It was easy for me to recognise him, as he is often pictured in our local newspaper.

I told him of my thoughts, and he immediately arranged to visit me. He scored a great hit with my non Church going partner, and prayed with us both.

I attended a number of services on a 'sit and see' basis, felt very comfortable, and am challenged by how much the Church is doing in the villages.

He is now in the process of transferring my License to him.

Back in January I was praying for my boss and his family (his dad has subsequently died, and his daughter spent 7 weeks in hospital, just out last week). I would ask for more prayers in his direction as he has done something less than sensible (not wrong or criminal) and got himself into a bit of a pickle. And his daughter is still very unwell.

This has left me continuing in charge of our team, stuck with the end result of the pickle and having to apologise to people because we can't deliver our service properly. There is currently no end in sight, which is stressing all of us.

I had to go to the cardiologist today because I've had a nasty irregular pulse for the last couple of months - the good news is my heart is fine, the bad news is that the pulse problem is caused by stress. I know it will settle down as I get used to the job, and I'm getting extremely positive feedback from both the team and my manager, but right now I could do with a bit of a break.

Thank you Piglet and The Weeder. The trouble is I really don’t think changing churches is an option. I’ve been through all this before. Three years ago I decided that the right thing would be to leave and I stayed away from my church for some weeks and tried a few others. But… it just didn’t work.

For all its ‘faults’ my church is familiar and I know people there (though most of the people I was most comfortable with have moved on for one reason or another). I’ve been there a long time and I feel a lot of loyalty towards it. And I ‘do things’ there (though not as much as I used to) and people seem grateful for what I do…

And I’ve always found new situations very difficult. I’ve never been able to make friends easily and I’m not easy to get on with… I think in a new church I would feel even lonelier than I do now.

I know that sounds like a list of excuses but I really feel that leaving wouldn’t be helpful. I don’t really know what the answer is. We’re going through some big changes at the moment which I’m finding difficult, and that, and the fact that I’m approaching a landmark birthday (I’m nearly 60) are combining to make things feel particularly bad now.

Thank you for your good wishes and your prayers. They are much appreciated.

I could use prayer right now. I'm trying to arrange finishing up my comprehensive exams by early-to-mid May. My job ends at the end of April, so to avoid paying May rent, I'm going to have to couch-surf as long as I have to still be around (before moving back to Detroit). My three committee members (one of whom doesn't use computers) seem to have conflicting schedules. I kinda feel like maybe I'm supposed to give up, but I don't want to.

And I think the hypomanic phase I've been in a few weeks now is coming to an end. Please pray that I don't sink too deeply into depression. I have too much I have to get done!

I have to dispense with most of my belongings, purchase a car (I can only keep what I can fit in it), finish mailing all my books home, finish one more paper, sit for a closed-book exam, schedule and do my oral defense, and now I don't even know what my time frame is. The longer I stay, the more it eats into the little bit of cash I have to use to buy the car and move (gas, food, hopefully I can find friends to stay with across the country and not pay for hotels).

And I really have no help with any of it.
 
Posted by churchgeek (# 5557) on :
 
Update: It looks like I might have a date for my defense. I haven't scheduled it yet, but a date's been approved by 2 out of my 3 committee members, and the third, my advisor, I know will be fine with it. WHEW! Thank God for that bit of encouragement.

And thank you for praying for me. I am still attending the Parish Church, and finding it suits me very well indeed. I have already been asked to do the Intercessions in a couple of weeks, and my new Vicar has applied for my licence to be transferred to him.

It is such a big congo that I worried about getting to know anyone, but the after Church coffee time is very 'newbie' friendly. Lots of round tables, so just by sitting down I am part of a group, who talk and are welcoming.

I have been asked to do the Intercessions in a few weeks, so that will be a start. Actually, i was asked for

And I was asked to introduce my self from the front at 2 of the Churches. I was so impressed at the Vicar taking my arrival seriously.

I am feeling very positive, and have sent my cassock for dry-cleaning and washed my surplice. Mr. Weeder is greatly amused.

The Weeder - nothing to be embarrassed about, I had a friend who liked ironing so he ironed my stuff and I gave him lifts to places we both wanted to go.

My friends, ME and P, were blindsided by a malicious neighbor and his evil intentions and Mr Evil found a sleazy lawyer who took a case that will probably take away their home. The case has dragged on for years and on Thursday, the case was heard before a judge and ME and P can appeal, but their home, rental property, a straw bale house they were building will be given to the evil neighbor. It's a travesty of justice of the highest order, I am sad and mad.

Ginny is out of the hospital and in rehab. It's not going well.

In the hospital, the pain control was very good; right now it's bad. She is extremely weak, and I don't think they can do much therapy.

She can't distract herself with reading or television because both her eyesight and her hearing are poor.

A few weeks before she broke her hip, she said that she was ready to die.

Please pray for peace and pain relief for her.

Ginny seems to be in much less pain and is more cheerful. She is still very weak.

Bob and Debbie are recovering. I have learned the story of the accident. Bob was driving and the car suddenly went off the road, down an embankment, and, in Debbie's words, "bounced from tree to tree". It is not clear why the car went off the road. Bob is pretty sure he didn't go to sleep, but he can't imagine what happened. About an hour after the crash, the car exploded. This means that it probably will not be possible to find out whether there was a mechanical failure. Debbie's mother is improving slightly.

In addition to praying for their recovery, please pray for the easing of the load of guilt Bob carries.

Thanks.

My father-in-law is in hospital being prepped for surgery on his leg. He fell out of his mobility scooter last weekend and gashed his leg, and for some reason best known to himself (he's a retired surgeon) decided he didn't need to tell anyone until it was swollen to twice its normal size and oozing.

As he is 95 and has a dicky heart, there is a very strong chance he won't survive the surgery. On the other hand, he seems to be made of old boots and has survived all sorts of injuries in the recent past.

Either way, we are very worried. My mother-in-law is very confused and kept asking why they were at the hospital, which is a huge added stress on my partner and her brother.

When I got there he was on his face on the floor, fitting, with blood everywhere (his head had hit the table on the way down). I called an ambulance for them and he's away now to hospital. I. says he's fitted a few times before, due to alcohol (she's pretty sure he'd been drinking this time too). So prayers appreciated for all of them.

I heard this morning that a long-ago friend, who I still thought of as a friend even though it is decades since we met, collapsed and died at the weekend leaving his elderly mother without her main carer - he wasn't a shipmate [at least I don't think so] but was known to at least one shippie in the hospital chaplaincy circuit in Manchester. He was a Good Man.

Well, I've seen something that (on paper) looks really interesting and which I think I could do well (shame it's very tight on pay, but you can't have everything). Anyway, I'll put an application tomorrow and would love to get an interview so that I can find out more.

My granddaughter, Miss M, has been coping well with chemo etc. However, she started another round of a different drug on Sunday night. Was in hospital till Wednesday afternoon and then was sent home. This is a particularly nasty round. She was back in hospital last night after vomiting all afternoon. The anti-nausea drug effect finished before the chemo effect. So horrible for anyone, but she's a tiny nine year old.

Prayers appreciated for her and for the family as it is very disruptive to the brother and sister.

Prayer would be appreciated for my friend and ex "mother in law" R who is currently in hospital awaiting surgery.

She suffers badly from mental health issues which prevented her from seeking medical help resulting in thrombosis and the possible loss of toes or even leg as she keeps refusing medication and treatment.

She is due to have angioplasty in the next day or so and it only when they can get circulation flowing freely that they will know whether she loses her toe or leg.

She is extremely scared, and her mental health issues make it worse especially the fact that she may not be able to keep the dog she dotes on, which is being looked after by friends, as she might have to move from her current home if she can no longer manage the stairs.

Please pray for inner peace and healing for all her health problems, and that not only her physical but mental health will be treated whilst she is an in-patient.

Today when I phoned my sister and said how I'd love to have been at a family gathering interstate except that I am tied down to caring for him, news that he is still very flat went down like a real party pooper.

I'm off tomorrow to start my new job as Bosun on a Dutch sailing ship, joining the ship in Ipswich (early train from London tomorrow morning, ew!).
I'm looking forward to it, slightly nervous though, and any and all prayers appreciated to bolster me for the coming season (and for my quickly learning Dutch!).
Thank you.

I went to see Little A today - he is all skin and bone and not at all well but he is chirpy enough. He was allowed home yesterday for two nights and will be back to the hospital tomorrow for more treatment. Because of all the other stuff he has now got Oral Thrush as well, no fun at all.

I could use prayers of tenacity and excellent communication skills, as I'm off today to break in yet another doctor.

And for traveling mercies. I'm flying out, and I really hate flying in small planes in this part of the state. The weather and geography are far too interesting for air travel.

I've been having meetings at a nearby teaching hospital, undergoing evaluations to see if I am a candidate for surgery to have a gastric pacemaker installed. This is still being decided, but we've run out of other options to treat the digestive disorder I have (gastroparesis). I hope they'll come up with an answer in the next couple of days. I would value prayers.

Remembering everyone here in prayer also. [Votive]

My aunt (G) died two weeks before Easter and her funeral is tomorrow. She was 91 and her quality of life had been poor for some time. We weren't particularly close but I was fond of her and she was the last one left of my parents’ generation.

Please would you pray for me as I travel to attend the funeral and for my cousin H who I think is mentally and physically exhausted after caring for her mother for a long time.
I'm also worried because I've picked up that there are some tensions between my two cousins... I'd be grateful for prayers that everything goes smoothly.

On Saturday, we have (always a year day) the Indian Christian people together, with a person to speak and another to pray and we sing hymns in English and Indian.
I always have to get the food organized and give them tea, coffee etc and also it is in a different church, up in London Frognal Finchley Road, St Andrews Church. It was different in the baptist church near me, easier to get there quickly.

Prayers are desperately needed for Laura, the young wife of the director of a choral group to which I belong.

Laura has been suffering from foot pain for some time. An electrical stimulation device was inserted into her spine in an effort to relieve the pain, but it only caused more discomfort from the get-go.

The device was removed and an MRI done, which revealed a "spot" in the area where the device had been (not on the spine) that is either an infection, pooled blood, or a tumor. Another MRI will be done to try to determine the exact nature of the "spot". If surgery is indicated, it will be a difficult surgery. Antibiotics are being administered in the likelihood that the "spot" is an infection.

Laura is in intense pain.

She is the breadwinner of her family, as the salary we are able to pay our director is not enough to support himself, Laura and their young daughter.

Please pray for Laura and her family.

This evening I had a phone call to say that my Mother has been taken to hospital with breathing difficulties. She's been moved from A & E to a ward and is having tests. I have been put on "standby" to go down and visit her but at present I have a chest infection.

For information my Mum is 85, has dementia and is unable to walk, used her hands, chew food or talk. We have a care clause stating "no resuscitation" because of the poor quality of life she has.

Please pray that I will get a doctor's appointment on Monday and be well enough to visit her; for my brothers who have had a closer relationship with her; and for nursing staff both at the hospital and the care home; and for me to be able to cope with making last minute travel arrangements and decisions with my mental health problems, and to be free from pain with the traveling.

I've seen angio's done. It's amazing how tiny everything is, and how much detail you can see on the screen. I think the patients and I are equally fascinated at the process. All the very best to R.

I really need to get my work project ready for a deadline in about 6 weeks so prayers for success without stress would be much appreciated.

I had to submit my paper without anyone else to read it so I'm praying it's accepted, as there's embarrassment at stake here. I really need it to be published.

I am really worried about visiting cat who has injured his front paw, hopefully only a sprain but it's really swollen now. Any other cat we would have taken to the vet by now, but he really hates to be touched and also literally knows the word "vet" and jumps thirty feet in the air at the mention of it. If he's not improved by tomorrow we'll have to try to take him in, but I'm worried it won't be worth the emotional trauma, and also that he'll be impossible to catch.

Also, finance monster needs banning.

visiting cat's "mum" is now visiting Ethiopia because her sister died. Her son is still in jail in Pakistan. Poor woman. Prayers for her to get through it all please.

Things are rather difficult here - there is a long Hell thread about the problem - and we are both rather upset; it is looking as if we are going to have to get a solicitor involved. The obvious temporary solution is something I am deeply unhappy about; I know my reaction is irrational but it is still there. [Help]
So things are fraught and I think we have had more spats this week than the rest of the year so far. [Frown]

Meanwhile I think I must have left my ATM card in the machine yesterday after all that kerfuffle so praying it will have been handed in to security otherwise I have to order a new one and that will take about a week!

I need fervent prayers for the next month or so. This is potentially for a very HAPPY thing.

As many know, I've been living in my "canvas palace" for going on a year, this time around (we did it before, 6 years ago, for about 9 months). It's a tent. it's a nice tent, and we're mostly comfortable. (understand, it's a 12x12x8 ft tent that has better insulation than even arctic-grade yurts. it's like a little house. we're not suffering in a little 2 man dome jobby) but it's not sustainable for long term for two reasons: namely, heat and bears. It is well insulated for a tent, but it still doesn't hold the heat as nicely as a hard shell would. Therefore, my heating bills this last winter have been astronomical.

Plus, I live in perhaps the second beariest area in the beariest state of the US. We have grizzlies all over the place, as well as a small but scrappy black bear population. We coexist pretty darn well, here, and I know my stuff. I have not yet had a curious bear, but it's always on my mind. A hard shell with a real door that can keep a bear out would be AWFULLY NICE.

Also, in the not-necessary-but-oh-please category, my son and I really need separate sleeping spaces, I need a lot more bookshelf space, and in the winter we have to keep the window flaps closed so it's kind of dark and dreary in here.

enter two things - the high school shop class has built a very small "house" (essentially, it's just the box) that they are about to sell by sealed bid for the cost of materials as a minimum bid. this means all up to code, well insulated, and zero labor costs.

second thing - when by aunt died she left me some money. I didn't know she had any money. surprise! and the amount she left should just cover the cost of the mini house plus getting it moved and building a foundation. assuming no one outbids me.

We originally heard that we were the only ones interested. woohoo! but I found out today that two other people (at least) are preparing bids.

With a sealed bid, you get the minimum amount and then submit a bid that is hopefully higher than the other bids. you don't know what they are.

If I don't get the house, the money I have could pay to begin a small house of my own, but it would probably be a year or two to be able to move in. I can live with that. but I really want to get this place! it's such a perfect solution! and I would have a fully paid-for home.

They haven't opened the bid yet, but they will in the next few weeks. If everyone could say a little prayer for me to be the highest bidder - light candles, cross appendages, dance naked around a fire, whatever your "thing" is, I would so appreciate it!

[Votive] for Comet's little house. May the other bids be small and inadequate.

I would appreciate prayers,please, about a tricky work situation. I have been refused facility time to attend our union's national conference. To meet the union's proportionality rules, most of our delegates must be women - unfortunately, I'm the only female activist in our branch who's fully trained in her role and willing to attend. (This is something we're working to address for the future.)

My boss is citing an important project as the reason why I can't go - the same project that he told me last week was low priority and could easily be worked around other jobs. The message HR is being given by my managers is not the same one I've been getting.

Advice from our regional office is to raise a formal grievance, but my branch secretary and I don't want to do that, as it would sour our working relationship. I could take annual leave, but it sets a precedent for future delegates and my manager is potentially breaking our facilities agreement by refusing.

Please pray that this will be resolved amicably - or at least with as little bloodshed as possible. Thank you.

Prayers for PeteC and Miss M [Votive]

Mad Cat - it sounds as if you've got a combination class of what we used to call the "weak but willing" with the behaviour issues mixed in. It might be worth trying to find out what the behaviour is masking. You may be looking at a lot of undiagnosed dyslexia in there for example - verbally bright, but poor on paper - and challenging behaviour is a good way to cover up, plus putting down anyone who looks as if they may be weaker than you to bolster their battered self-esteem. But 24 is too big a class to deal with like that.

[Votive] prayers too for those with battered self-esteem, recognised and unrecognised learning difficulties

As it's Christian Aid week, this prayer from their prayer cards seems appropriate.

Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray for the peace that brings freedom out of fear, hope out of grief and dignity out of violation.

Lead our brothers and sisters out of the valley of the shadow of death to a place of still waters, green pastures and restoration.

And give us a fire to work tirelessly for your justice, so that we may all share in your fullness of life. Amen [Votive]

Yesterday as I was meandering home from church I saw a crowd outside the local Anglican church hall. It was the First Communion service for the local Catholic Church*, the Parish church for the school where I volunteer. I said a quick prayer for the children, [Angel] and their futures. It's amazing how well they polish up for special occasions.

* The Catholics are using the Anglican hall while the insurance is sorted on their own church - a not unusual arrangement here over the last 3 years.

They have got R walking twice a day, with assistance - yesterday he did 10 metres both morning and afternoon. Possible discharge date of tomorrow, though I think that might be a day or two too soon, but at least they seem happier with him now. Please continue with the prayers as I think he has a long row to hoe to get back to some degree of real fitness.

I have a hospital appointment tomorrow (not for anything scary), and I am a bit worried about being fobbed off again. I have previously been denied treatment because of a stupid policy of an individual clinic, which says that breastfeeding is a contraindication for the treatment (it isn't at all, and if I'm fobbed off then there will be a strongly worded letter heading to the clinical director of the Health Board). I would really appreciate prayers that I can have the treatment soon, as I am sick and tired of pain and restricted movement, both of which are totally unnecessary. Thank you [Smile]

R will be discharged this evening and then will come and stay with us for a few days before going to his own home less than 100 yards away. We are more geared for convalescence than his own place. I still think it is a bit soon but then hospitals are full of sick people so...

I hurt my back in a self-inflicted gardening incident. It's taking much, much longer to heal than I thought, mainly because I keep doing silly things like standing up and going to bed, which keep aggravating it again. On Thursday, I have to drive for three hours to get to Devon, then drive back again on Sunday. Normally, I'd be looking forward to it, but I'm afraid that all the driving, plus sleeping in a strange bed, will aggravate my back again. It's been dragging on for over a month now and I'm so tired of being in pain - it makes everything so much harder. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Thank you for prayers - the doctor thankfully gave me the injection I needed, and I have an open appointment in case I need another one within the next 6 months. After that they don't do any more so if the condition recurs after 2 injections they have to consider surgery. So I am hoping that this will do the trick.

I asked for prayer on here a month or more ago as tensions have been building up locally over a proposed gas mine. 800 police were already on their way here this week for a confrontation next Monday morning with 10,000 people expected to be blockading the site, but an announcement was made today that the gas company's licence has been suspended. Hooray and Hallelujah! It is an enormous relief.
Meanwhile a tremendous sense of community has developed at the blockade. Google Bentley blockade for videos.
I pray that people will rise up successfully against fracking and other pollution wherever it occurs.

Later, I went along to her room to collect her for our shared lift home, and began to try to apologise. However, she refused to listen and walked away from me, saying she felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to talk about it. She went round to C, her regent (training mentor) in floods of tears, saying I tried to stop her leaving the room.

School management is trying to disuade my colleague A from bringing an official grievance against me. The meeting we had with our HoD L and the regent C didn't go well. I explained my position and made my apology. She wasn't happy with this outcome, turned on the tears and asked to speak to C in private. She also made reference to 'the other occasions' on which I'd done something to upset her. She didn't say what these were, and her record of events was factually inaccurate and biased to a foolish degree, leading me to think that her grievance is vexatious.

She leaves the school in June at the end of her probationary year and therefore has no incentive to resolve things. I'm concerned about the amount of trouble she might be able to cause in the meantime.

Please pray for her. She is an unhappy person, afflicted with an eating disorder and all the attendant misery that such problems bring. [Votive]

Ken's death has been abnormally upsetting for me: my father also has pancreatic cancer, and is unlikely to see the year out (he said, with British understatement). A few brief weeks ago, he was going to die imminently - a surgical procedure has allowed him to dodge that particular bullet (which would have coincided with Big Exams for the Torlets), but time is inevitably limited.

I just feel... sad. Sad for him because he's always been fit and healthy and incredibly active, sad for my mum (married for 40+ years), sad for my kids. And I am all mixed up inside, trying to do x, y and z, and doing none of those things very well.

Three weeks to go before Conference and I'm still being denied facility time, even though I can prove that I don't need to be in the office that week. I need to write a very careful email to my line manager today, suggesting a compromise. So far, he has tried to portray himself as a touchy-feely manager (which he isn't!), while making me sound rather incompetent to our senior HR manager. The truth is that I'm ahead of schedule, which he would know if he bothered to speak to me. Your prayers for some good words and an improved relationship would be appreciated.

I have had a talk with the occupational health people at work and it feels as if they are going to bully me to return sooner than I think is sensible. Apparently it is bad for me to be off work so long, and I will be better if I go back. [Eek!] The OH adviser showed no interest in talking to my GP or anybody else concerned and ignored my worries that my manager will not co-operate with a phased return to work. After a 30 minutes phone call, she knows what is best for me. [Help]

Please pray for wisdom for me, that I will work out what is best for me to do, and the courage to do it. And praise God for my wonderful, supportive husband and all NHS staff involved in my care.

From today's Telegraph:

"A gunman went on a drive-by shooting rampage in a Santa Barbara student enclave and at least seven people were killed, including the attacker.

Investigators in the United States believe a gunman driving a black BMW acted alone in the shootings late on Friday night near the University of California, Santa Barbara."

While this is a relief in some ways because it's all beeen dragging on so long, his sudden disappereance is going to put a terrible strain on his colleagues- particularly the rest of my team. We are just getting into some work that will now have to be delayed and inconvenience people.

I feel awkward asking for prayer here again when I very rarely contribute to any other thread. But …

I’m really panicking about health problems again. This time it’s abdominal pain which doesn’t have any obvious cause. After hoping it would go away for two weeks I saw the doctor last Friday. She didn’t know what it was, asked me to have blood tests. Then yesterday she phoned me asking me to get one of the tests done again as that result was ‘slightly unusual’. I’m now panicking, thinking that ‘slightly unusual’ is doctor-speak for ‘you’ve got cancer’. She also wants me to have a scan – don’t know how long I’ll have to wait for that. And in the meantime it all hurts! And there’s nobody I can talk to about it. And I just feel frightened. Sorry.

Got back from the doctor, who is not a specialist but has read over my records. He is of the opinion that this is rib/muscle pain which is basically normal for this stage after the surgery I had, and he doesn't think anything dire is happening, thank God. He is referring me to a specialist just in case anything dire does develop later, so I'll have someone who knows what's going on. Thanks for praying for me!

Just received an email from my cousin to say that our much-loved aunt (96) died on Friday.

I haven't seen her for years. I knew she was elderly. I didn't know how to say goodbye, and couldn't bring myself to, so like a wimp, I put this off, and off, indefinitely.

In some ways it's better to remember her as she used to be - the strong, kind, generous personality with a perfect memory who was always there for me, rather than as she became in extreme old age.

Please pray for the repose of her soul and also for my uncle, who will miss her terribly. They knew each other since they first met in the 1920s, and subsequently had a long and very happy marriage. Uncle is unlikely to last long without her.

Please pray for me. I'm frightened. The repeat blood test was apparently ok but the pain/discomfort won't go away. it's more discomfort than pain if i'm honest but it's so strange and the doctor doesn't seem to understand my long term medical condition.
I don't know what to do, there's no-one i can talk to.

Abigail, the important thing is that they have checked for the Big Scary thing, and haven't found anything. So it is something - an allergy, an intolerance, an infection - and someone, somewhere, in some unglamorous specialism of the medical profession, will recognise. So ask to be referred to another clinic.

And while dietary advice can be faddish, sometimes it doesn't hurt to look at what and how you eat and see if there are patterns.

My errant staff member has resigned! I can't express the relief of not having to go through yet another disciplinary procedure. He is being paid in lieu of notice, so he doesn't have to come into work again, which will put the rest of the team under strain for a while - but, it does mean that I can start the recruitment process now.Hooray! Thank You, Lord, and thanks to all those who prayed. And please help him to find employment in a field that's more suited to his temperament.

My friend's son, in his early twenties, has been taken seriously ill in Vietnam and has been in hospital for over a fortnight now. I am not 100% certain of what is wrong with him but I know that he is on IV antibiotics and his platelet count is low. They are trying to fly him home. Yesterday he was given the go-ahead by the hospital, today he was given the go-ahead by the insurance, a flight was booked for Tuesday and now the hospital have had a final set of blood tests done and declared he is not fit to fly after all. My friend, a single mum, is desperate to have him home. Please pray for T and all of his family, especially his mum C.

In just two months my elderly mother has gone from being her old self to someone increasingly confused and in need of care. Tomorrow I will travel down to see her and try to invoke Social Services. She has always firmly rejected this before, but if you can't remember how to get in your own front door, you need help.

She also has a long-lasting pain she only just told me about, for which she's being referred to the hospital for examination. It may be that she needs an operation on her pancreas.

There are good days and not so good days, but the speed of this has taken me by surprise. In Aprill, two months ago, we were chatting about holiday plans for her 80th birthday in August. She was lively and animated. The way things are now I don't know whether she will be spending her birthday in a care home or in hospital and whether she will even know it's her birthday.

I know this is just how things are at the moment and that they won't stay this way for ever. Time will resolve it and it's just a question of both of us getting through it. You can't turn the clock back - but I wish it was possible to do something to reverse all this.

After a recent intruder and robbery (whilst I was in the house....gulp!)our diocesan colleagues felt they could no longer guarantee our safety in our current abode so today we move to a new (somewhat less well appointed...)house. We have also just heard that my husband's mother has died so we will be returning to the UK briefly to attend her funeral. A lot of change and stress.
We'd value your prayers.
 
Posted by Ariel (# 58) on :
 
Thank you everybody. I visited my mother yesterday and found her lucid and altogether less confused, although the signs of dementia are beginning to become clearer. She's finally agreed to have domestic help in and I immediately arranged for someone to pop in for half an hour twice a week and do whatever's necessary. She now knows if she's ill there will be someone local to help and it will get her used to the idea of carers although I'm referring to this as "domestic help".

I had a chat with her doctor and felt reassured. She's still on the waiting list for a formal diagnosis, after which social services should be able to take over the care arrangements. This should happen in the autumn. Meanwhile a neighbour who is actually a carer has been given a spare set of keys, and my mother knows she can go to her if she gets stuck. The confused periods are her being stressed out, I think (part of this new world that I'm trying to get used to).

I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel - though there may well be twists and turns before we get there yet - so thank you all for your support and prayers.

A colleague, today, who is reasonably in a position to know, suggested I simply ask my boss for a three-year contract so I can do a PhD without paying for it. As if this is a thing people (I) can get just by asking. So, if my project goes great, and if the sky were to hypothetically start raining three-year contracts... I might be able to switch the focus of my anxiety from job hunting to PhD angst.

Prayers for all. Lord, in your mercy....

Please would you pray for me? I fell and sprained my ankle last week while away on a short break. I dosed myself up with painkillers, put and elastic bandage on and hobbled around the following day...
Although I can (could) walk on it perfectly well after a day or two, the skin around the ankle is swollen and painful to touch and the sensitivity extends about half way up my leg on the outside. It aches constantly and is driving me mad. I have a doc's appointment in the morning, hoping to be referred for some physio and to be prescribed some anti-inflammatories. I could take ibuprofen now, but I don't want to "mask" the symptoms tomorrow morning at the doc's.
Google is NOT my friend as I have scared myself with what it might be.
And I was particularly proud of my slender ankles...the only part of my legs I would display in public. Not now.

An oddball request. One of my Alanon meetings was just informed by the church where we meet of a rent increase that is so draconian that some people, including me, think it's actually a way to tell us to get out without saying so. Please pray that after representatives of the group meet with the church they decide on something less outrageous.

Lots of sympathy for Z as I am in a similar position. I'm currently out of work, and that is a serious worry. Today I took a step towards finding a new job, but I think it might have been the wrong step, and my worry has increased.

To paraphrase an old cry, "Give me an income or give me death!". Either would solve my problems.

There's a huge unexpected financial expenditure looming on the horizon, which I can't see any way around.

And my aunt's funeral is tomorrow. I feel like a worm for deciding not to go but life is already fraught enough.

My work-life has been interesting the past few years. I respect my current manager enough to be taking seriously her suggestion that I think about whether or not I'm in the area that suits me best at present. She's been making noises about redeployment. Later this week, we have a meeting with HR. It is not a disciplinary meeting (I've come close but so far avoided disciplinary procedures), but I might want to bring a union rep.

I don't want to move to an area of work I'm not enthusiastic about, just to make management's lives easier, but I don't want to be an idiot creating problems for myself and other people either.

Wisdom needed.

Christine would have celebrated 30 years of Solemn Profession next year, and has always been my idea of a model religious - hardworking, prayerful, community-building, and loving. She also had a kick-ass sense of humour, which was still in action when I saw her last weekend.

Please pray for my friend Ginny. She is ninety-four years old and broke her hip about a month ago.

She has been gradually failing over the past several years. Last December she fell and broke her pelvis. She recovered slowly from that, but she said more than once that she wished she would die.

Yesterday a friend visited her, and Ginny failed to recognize her. She was crying and complaining of pain. The nurse gave her something to relieve the pain. All attempts at rehabilitation have been abandoned; she just doesn't have enough physical strength.

Please pray for freedom from pain and peace of mind.

Miss M has just started what we hope is the last intensive round of chemo. Done in clinic three times a week, not one week in two admission to hospital. It's knocking her around a bit, big black eyes, tiredness, nausea despite medication, joint pain. It will probably cause a second round of drug induced diabetes, so she takes her own blood sugar levels every few hours and has some idea of the meaning of the readings. A parent has to wake her at 3:00 am for another finger prick and reading.

Doctors are happy with her progress but it's hard seeing her so washed out and lethargic again.

Diagnosed with two kidney stones, one in the "mother of all kidney stones" neighborhood (5mm x 9mm). The surgeon put in a stent to drain the kidney and reduce swelling; I will go back next week to have the stones taken care of.

Thus, spent 12 hours today in l'hôpital, most of it in some level of either agony or screaming agony.

Prayers that they can deal with these turkeys properly next week, and I can soon be free of this pain.

Also will miss 2 days of work this week and 1 next week; in a 6-week gig, that hurts.

I mentioned upthread about a friend's son who had been taken ill whilst travelling and was too ill to be flown home. Arriving back in the UK at last, he has just been diagnosed with leukaemia. Please pray for him and his family.
Amongst my friends and colleagues over the last month there's been the death of a child, a baby stillborn, a friend's son arrested, a friend in intensive care for a fortnight unable to breath, not to mention our own small share of stresses to cope with. Please pray for all those affected, whether directly or indirectly.

If it is it will be very expensive to treat, more than I can afford, and I'll have to ask my daughter to let me use her medical credit card and pay her back monthly. Please pray that he's only a little sick and gets better on his own. If he isn't better tomorrow he goes to the vet Tuesday.

Prayers for wisdom appreciated. Without going into too many details, a visiting preacher crossed a line and I ended up walking out of church yesterday. Having been going for a year and been relatively settled, it was quite upsetting to be compelled to walk out. Am considering writing to the church leadership, but given it was a visitor it may be better to let it pass by, though it gives me nagging doubts over the judgement of those who invited him.

Tomorrow I'm driving by myself from here to Calais - a distance of quite a lot of kilometres (and 7 hours driving). I did it last year, with no problems, but this year I'm cutting the distance/time by going a route that takes me nearish to Paris and through a long tunnel. It's not a route I'm very familiar with and I don't have GPS, only good old printouts of the route and a road atlas.

Please pray that I don't go wrong. And if I do that I don't panic and can find my way without too many difficulties. Mr D says it's all a matter of common sense - but I don't have too much of that!!

I really need prayer. Or something.
Coming up to my 60th birthday and very depressed about it. 60 years of failure
Minor health issues.
Panicking about things I'm being asked to do at church. I don’t seem able to explain that I want to go on helping but just don’t feel I can cope with the way I'm being asked to do it.
Not sure what church is for anymore anyway. Not comfortable with the way they do things, and most of the people I knew have gone. I think God has too. But I need it. It's all I've got (other than work - which isn't all that great either.)
Have never had any friends – can’t talk to people. And now I'm starting to feel increasingly isolated from the rest of the world.
Loneliness isn't just about being alone, sometimes being in a group of people but not part of it is even more lonely. Most of my life has been like that and I'm used to it but it’s getting harder and harder to bear.

I currently have a flare up of my immune system (I say currently but I seem to have had various rolling problems for a month now) and would like to request prayers for managing that.
I'm also evaluating my lifestyle at the moment, part of my managing my bipolar disorder is by controlling my social interactions but I seem to have drifted too far the other way now and become more reclusive. I need to get out more and build friendships and would like prayers to move forward with that. I might join a sewing group in the village on Monday, please pray that I can settle in there.

We didn't appoint anyone to my vacancy yesterday due to the strike action. We've shortlisted to two candidates - one of whom scored highly, but doesn't appear to want this job - just a job. The other candidate would need more of their skills updating, but would be a better psychological fit for the team, who really don't need any more upheaval. After sleeping on it, I want to appoint the second candidate but may need to convince my colleague. (Whose team is it, anyway...)

For V and H, that the destruction they are facing leads to new openings and success in what they are clearly cut out to do, and that this happens without triggering a recurrence of V's stroke, or worsening of his eye problem.

And for B and A, who are responsible, that they may come to realise that there are better ways of doing things than stealing other people's work, and leaving them without financial support.

I know a lot of people are out of work right now. I'm one of them. I'm getting worried this week, because I have a huge bill due on the 20th and no way to pay it. I do have people to fall back on - well, my parents, who have been supporting me quite a bit lately. [eta: My dad's diagnosis was changed recently from dementia to Alzheimer's, and my mom's got plenty to deal with with that. Plus I don't want to drain their money; they're working-class retirees.] Moving back home to Detroit has been so expensive, and my severance pay was gone just like that. I've been unemployed only since the end of April, but I've never been unemployed this long (even though it's the 3rd time I've been laid off in my life).

Being in Detroit probably doesn't help. The unemployment rate here is pretty high. It's a hirer's market, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to hire a PhD student embarking on her dissertation.

Plus, I'm uninsured. "Obamacare" has been a great option for me, but since I lost my job, having zero income means you're supposed to go through Medicaid, so you don't get discounts to purchase insurance through the exchange. It turns out it can take 30-45 days to hear back about Medicaid once you apply, and I'm waiting now. They're probably hoping you'll find a job and get insurance that way. I'm hoping I do too before that time frame is up!

AND, the state of California has my car's title (long, complicated saga involving the smog check and my moving out of state). I mailed in my paperwork - the state that's home to Silicon Valley handles these things with a P.O. Box in Sacramento - on the last day in June. It can take up to a month, I was told. Again, the home of Silicon Valley. So anyway, I'm without a car, which means I can only look for jobs I can get to via public transit.

I have resumes out there. With any luck, I'll land a job at the university that's within walking distance, but I don't have high hopes. Alternately, I would like to wind up at the university where I used to work. I can get there by bus within 30-40 minutes, I think. It is just one bus, at least.

So prayers would be really, really appreciated. I'm also still healing from the way I was laid off, from a church, by a priest who tried to sell it like she was helping me answer God's call for me to be in Detroit (I'd told her before, in what I thought was a pastoral conversation, that I couldn't discern anything about my calling other than wanting to end up in Detroit). Not being able to get on with my life isn't helping.

I seriously am out of cash. Thankfully, I have a roommate who owns her house, and who won't let me starve, although it is putting pressure on her having to support me. Also thankfully, I have enough of my antidepressant and mood stabilizer to last till September. I'm not sure my asthma meds will last that long, but hopefully a job or Medicaid will come through.

Things aren't dire - I don't want to give that impression. And I'm sure there are good lessons to learn in this (I've already learned a few). I am praying that God will help me to grow through it and to perceive anything God might be trying to say right now. I don't believe God brings about difficulties, but I do believe God uses them for good. I just want to be able to pay my few bills and buy food without my roommate and parents having to bear the burden.

It is good to be back in Detroit, though. If I were under this kind of pressure back in California, I wouldn't fare so well, mood-disorder-wise.

Sorry this was so long.

Missed edit window on this: I've relied on public transit all 9 years I was in CA, but it's different in Detroit. Detroit's HUGE, geographically, so it takes longer to get around; and it's complicated or impossible to get to certain suburbs, thanks to racial and socioeconomic prejudice that has always blocked regional transit systems. That's why not having a car severely limits my job prospects. But I'd rather have a nearby job even with a car...if I can find one! All I do all day, it seems, is search for and apply for jobs online. I usually am able to send out about 3 or 4 per day. I heard back re: 2 of them. One, I'd accidentally applied for; it's too far away and I can't get there without a car. The other, I was given an interview where we were to meet at a Tim Horton's that took me over an hour - 2 buses and about a mile & a half of walking - to get to [wash, rinse, repeat for the trip back], and the lady didn't even show. The rest, no word at all. It's quite discouraging. I'm sure many people, many of you, perhaps, are going through this too, so I'll keep you all in my prayers as well. Please keep me in yours!

When I moved to CA, I fell into a great job (for the first 5 years I had it, anyway) and a great apartment (nothing fancy, just perfect for me), and felt I'd experienced divine provision for the first time in my life! Maybe I'm learning the different forms provision takes. But nothing feels right this time.

Also, my roommate has a lot of cats, plus mine, plus a moldy basement, plus the weather here (humidity), means I'm having lots of trouble with asthma.

I am struggling with appointing a new person to my team. I know which two candidates i don't want, but am torn between the other two. Having spoken to HR for advice, I'm now seeking references for them both. There are certain pressures coming from my colleague and my manager about this, which are not helping - neither does the pressure I'm putting on myself.

My school's in California. The local schools (a) don't have my field; and (b) require lecturers to have a PhD already, in the precise field they'll be teaching. They have their own grad students to use as well. But I'm keeping an eye out.

I was surprised - this is an example of how it's a hirer's market - even the local community colleges require a PhD in the exact field.


TessaB - I had a similar situation a while back. I'm praying for your peace of mind, as it's probably nothing, but that is a distraction for you in the meantime!

I could really use some help. I'm scared all the time, having nightmares so often that I'm approaching a sleep-deprived zombie state, and I've lost all hope that this is a state that is going to change. Given how long the little group who has been maliciously attacking me have been at it, I'm not sure there's anything that could reassure me that another attack isn't right around the corner, but I need something to change. And given the nature of the last attack I'm finding it really difficult to ask anyone for help, or even do anything to take care of myself better (I have a toothache and really should go to the dentist, but...)

And I'm finding it really difficult not to hate them for warping my thinking so much and making me so paranoid and afraid.

So I guess I'd appreciate prayers for something here to change.

On Friday, I have a big ask regarding my work. On Saturday, I want to be celebrating and rejoicing my win.

Tomorrow, I have a big task regarding my work. By the end of the day if not sooner, I want to be certain that it's all under control.

Also, my paper: it had two great reviews and one bizarrely mean review, so was rejected with strong encouragement to resubmit. Please pray that it will be accepted on next submission, and also that it won't fall into the hands of Bizarrely McMeanReviewer. Also, Bizarrely McMeanReviewer probably needs some help or therapy or something, because nobody writes reviews like that if all is right in their world. (This is a genuine prayer btw, not sarcasm.)

I exercised extreme bad judgement this summer: I ignored two letters from my union benefits office and in fact, never opened the envelopes! Z is not best pleased. I was not expecting to owe them money this early as a portion of my earnings is supposed to keep the accounts solvent at least six months a year, if not nine! I have consequently lost our health insurance, but Z gets insurance from her job the first of next month.

I consequently am going to be at least a week's gross salary out of pocket for continuing coverage or COBRA. I do not want to go on her plan because I like Blue Cross/Blue Shield. This month I may have to pay cash for all of my scrips and may barely have the money to do that, as there has not been much work this summer until recently.

Prayers needed for clear thinking and intelligent decision-making in these matters. I may be able to get a stop-gap policy: I'll just have to pay the exorbitant cost of COBRA for a couple of months. I may have to raid my pension fund again.... I really wish I were an Englishman: I wouldn't have these problems!

Thanks for praying for an affordable resolution!

Praying for all.

For my best friend, whose difficult relative has become utterly intolerable to him. He wants to talk seriously to me about this, and I have a feeling that he wants to move in with me.

I did prepare a room for that possibility, it was one of the things I had in mind when moving to somewhere which is really too big for one, but it is also working as a laundry room, and various other things, and having someone around is going to be very difficult. I have had him here before when he has been unwell, and it isn't easy to abandon the living habits of a lifetime for very little in return but an impersonal appreciation.

So I think prayers for me as well.

I had a brief comment from the warped part of my brain that maybe Jesus has that sort of reaction to some of us with regard to the room preparation process, and how well we are fitted to fit in there.

Thank you in advance for your prayers: please pray that I am successful in getting medical expenses paid for an on the job injury paid due to an injury back in February and that there are no out of pocket expenses due to the greediness of the insurer and the incompetence of the medical staff. I shall see my cardiologist in a few days for a directed verdict that I am free of heart disease and that the injury was only temporarily elevated blood pressure, i.e. tachycardia.

A friend of mine, in her 40s, has had fertility issues for years. She has one son, via IVF. She was just about to embark on a round of something expensively high-tech (donor embryo something), but the reproductive endocrinologist suddenly announced that the train had already left the station: she is pregnant. Totally au naturel, without science at all.
So the prayer is that this is a blessing: a normal pregnancy, and a healthy baby. As an older mom, this will be risky for both her and the one to come.
 
Posted by piglet (# 11803) on :
 
Your friend's situation isn't at all unusual, BC - a friend of ours, having had 10 years of failed IVF attempts and at least two miscarriages, gave birth to healthy twins (by IVF), and then a year later, completely naturally, to a son. She was over 40 when the twins were born.

[Votive] that your friend has such a happy outcome, and also for all others in any need, especially LC and JoannaP.

Is it House of Lords, House of Commons or something internecine? Hope it gets sorted out! IME, politics and the job never mix!

Going to early mass in a few hours so I can buttonhole a priest or nun to help with praying for intercession from St. Jude: ironically, my cathedral parish is SS Simon and Jude! This is because in the midst of rehabbing and decluttering my home of over 30 years, all of my keys were mislaid! We do have nine rooms of furniture crammed into a seven-room house and this complicates things a wee bit. I am dreading calling Ford to find out price and availability on a new electronic key for my 2013 Focus Titanium...

Isn't the 21st century great?

The last couple of weeks have been very stressful and my body has finally given in. A cold became bronchitis which has now become pneumonia. I had a chest xray today and started antibiotics but the problem is I can't afford to take any more time off work. I have to do a 12 hour shift tomorrow then I've got a couple of days off. Please pray that I can get through it.

As someone else who started antibiotics yesterday for a chest infection that I left too long, I know quite how knackering and painful it is. Hope the antibiotics kick in quickly enough for you to work tomorrow.

Work is pretty awful for me st the moment. I finally felt I had to say something to managers about some colleagues bad behaviour a couple of weeks back so now of course nobody is speaking to me. I knew it would happen but I didn't anticipate it being quite *this*bad.
I was successful in application for a secondment last week and in an office of 20 I have had only three well dones other than from management. Particularly hurt as the lady who has been on holiday gog back yesterday (she was annoyed by the bad behaviour too, and is no buddy of those people who were responsible) and even she has not said anything about the secondment. It is rubbish to feel so hated, although I know I deserve a bit of it, I think they are taking it a bit far at this stage.

I'm not sleeping properly and I'm dreading every day, even though I love my actual job.

Mr Shrew's father's funeral is tomorrow. I'm nervous as anything and struggling to support Mr Shrew.

Please pray for some emotional resilience for the week.

Many thanks for your prayers! It all went splendidly. Everything I expected turned up (including the T-shirts I was looking for last summer. It turns out I AM stupid enough to have put then in storage by mistake [Disappointed] ).

A bear was killed illeagally, and buried to hide the evidence. He was not endangering anyone. The people who did this are dangerous to have as enemies. In this state, killing big game out of season and wasting the meat is a big offense, with lots of prison time involved. People reported to my mom asking her to follow up because they are afraid of the perpetrators. Mom has reported everything and is putting herself out there. I'm very proud of her but it's risky and we're all preparing to circle the wagons. So a prayer for my mother and also Trooper K who will be at risk investigating would be welcome, as well as a prayer that justice be served.

And please, a prayer of peace for the soul of Big Boy, who was an awesome and beautiful guy who managed to live for years among people and never come to trouble. We're all going to miss him a lot.

An attempt to resolve our neighbour situation calmly and politely on Friday evening resulted in having abuse screamed at us, along with the grossest misrepresentation of my Father's character I have ever heard, in response to his pleas for how seriously ill my mother felt when prevented from sleeping at night. Once we returned home we decided to make a phone call to a relative of the neighbour which, DG, was answered and heard in the spirit of deep kindness and understanding, with many apologies and a promise to sort things out. Friday night made us all feel very shaky but we feel there is now hope. Thanks to all for prayers. [Votive]

I’m feeling incredibly stressed at the moment. Since November 2012 I’ve had five completely unrelated medical/health problems which have necessitated visits to the GP and hospital tests. Three are completely resolved (I was almost certainly worrying about nothing). One is ongoing but manageable and the latest is an eye problem which is really frightening me.

I’m also feeling very depressed/tearful/anxious. About work/church/life in general. I’ve ben told that the eye problem is nothing to worry about but it seems to be getting worse. I’ve been to my GP who is referring me back to the eye hospital – but they’ve already told me there’s nothing seriously wrong.

I’m wondering if all the symptoms are caused by anxiety. I’ve tried to talk to the GP about this. She wasn’t very sympathetic but said she’ll refer me to a psychologist (??) I’m not sure what that means or if it’s appropriate.

I was 60 last month and I really wanted to make a new start and try and do something with the rest of my life. After a very brief good start it all seems to have fallen apart.

I’m not sure I believe in prayer any more, but if you do please pray for me.

Posted by Smudgie (# 2716) on :
 
Tomorrow I go to visit Smudgie Towers, my home on the Isle of Wight which I have been unable to sell so which has had a series of tenants in. My current tenants, initially very good, have gradually become more and more lax with the rent and have now stopped paying altogether, without even a word of contact.
I have served them with notice to quit but this has not been acknoweldged. So it looks like we will be having to go down the legal route to evict them - a stress I could really really do without.

I am hoping that my visit will have some effect, though I am not sure what. The best I can hope for, I reckon, is to discover they've done a moonlight flit and disappeared into the ether. I've already begun to accept that I'm not going to see the money they owe me.

I have tried to do the right thing by them and feel really let down, if not somewhat naive. I am just praying that this situation resolves itself quickly. This is not extra income for me, it's money I actually need to cover my rent here.

Please can you hold this situation in your prayers - that God will grant me courage, wisdom and the right words to say and that we can find a quick and amicable resolution.

People reported to my mom asking her to follow up because they are afraid of the perpetrators. Mom has reported everything and is putting herself out there. I'm very proud of her but it's risky and we're all preparing to circle the wagons. So a prayer for my mother and also Trooper K who will be at risk investigating would be welcome, as well as a prayer that justice be served.

And please, a prayer of peace for the soul of Big Boy, who was an awesome and beautiful guy who managed to live for years among people and never come to trouble. We're all going to miss him a lot.

Charges filed today. hooray! and Trooper K has taken some very public flack lately, so three cheers for him not allowing himself to be bullied.

the charges also mean the men involved will now find out who turned them in, so if there's going to be recrimination against my family it will be soon. hopefully they will shut up and take their medicine.

on another note: months ago I asked for intercession regarding a hoped for house - I didn't get it. BUT! it looks like my house is going to be built, according to my specifications, IN TWO WEEKS! which is a moving up of the timeline by a solid 6 months. it's because my contractor friends just had a work window opening up. I'm excited and panicky and happy and terrified. prayers for... all of it! please. I love you guys.

So, ever been in a situation where you feel like you are definitely of use-- you see where you can contribute, you see yourself using your talents and challenging your limits and generally are proud of what you are accomplishing, and the only time anyone takes any notice of you is when you make some mistake?

Got one of those.

My past history is to slink away from such situations, but I am tired of doing that-- especially as convinced as I am that I have a lot to offer in this situation.

So now she is going into hospital (A&E). Dad is not calling for any help at present and just hope they find nothing and send them home (in a taxi) to sleep off the latest adventure!

Please pray for calm for all of us. We are a family of panickers!

In addition to prayers re T & D's situation, they were in a roadway accident today, and while I think they will be OK (T is on crutches and D looks banged up but less so, I think), well, yikes, they really don't need this right now.

Please also pray for Stephen: He recently lost his mum, and on top of that the hard drive which had all the pics he had taken of her before she passed has just bitten the big one. [Waterworks] (He's looking into ways to get the data out of it if possible but they all seem unaffordably expensive.)

I would appreciate your prayers, please. I need to approach my manager to ask for a stress assessment. My GP has agreed that I'm suffering from workplace stress and referred me to a counselling provider. I've been trying to tell my manager for the past year that I'm overworked, but to no avail. He argues the toss when I ask to be treated in accordance with the agreed HR procedures and I know that he will want to dissuade me from bringing my union rep to the review. TBH the thought of having to talk to him about anything is making me feel physically sick.

Today, I need to arrange a meeting with my manager and union rep to discuss my stress levels. Over the past year, I've been left to struggle with a huge workload and it's wearing me down. my manager has belatedly realised he might be held accountable, so he's started doing a few little things to help me, but it's really too little, too late. He makes unrealistic demands, such as saying that it's my fault he didn't carry out actions because I didn't chase him(!) I feel sick just thinking about this, because I know he will challenge me about why I want the union rep there. It's on the fine line between overwork and bullying and it needs to stop because I refuse to let the bastard make me ill. [Help]

I'd appreciate prayers as I go in for a hiatal hernia repair tomorrow. It is an endoscopic oupatient procedure that takes about an hour; but with my medical history of seizures and bad reaction to anesthetics they're using a special valium + novocaine anessthesia combo and also keeping me in hospital overnight just to be on the safe side, I'm anxious , but also quite ready to be over the strangling sensations lightheadedness and other issues that have kept me fairly inactive all summer. Prayers also for E2, my dear partner, who recently fell in our garage and broke her thumb and arm. She's in real pain, worried about possible thumb surgery ( she has a reconstructed thumb joint and dislocated a pin...it may be okay in the long run but may need surgery). Sometimes I feel we have dueling health problems in our housebold. To add to this, we're betwween churchs, ourcintended new one in flux without a pastor at the momentg, d feel a bit lost as to baving a supportive faith community...I feel as if we're oprating without a net.

a small request, in the grand scheme of things, but it's weighing on my mind, anyway.

for the first time in something like 6 years, I'm moderating a candidate forum tonight. This is something I used to do fairly regularly. I was always good at it. But aside from being rusty, this one has been fraught with trouble. I was never given the whole story (sponsored by a partisan group, for one thing. I was not told that until thursday!) and my name was used in the promotions before I had agreed to do it. The right thing to do would have been to tell them to eff off, but it would be leaving them hanging last minute, so I agreed. I am wary, though, of the whole situation and feel as though I've been lied to and manipulated to put me into this spot.

the liar/manipulator is one person on a board of directors. The other board members were not aware of this game-playing and thought I had agreed to everything with full info. but the liar/manipulator has conveniently left town so if I'd bailed, I would have screwed over a bunch of people who have not done harm.

All that being said, I can totally do it and do a good job. But I'm left feeling like there will be other little surprises before this thing is over. And it feels like my name is being used to shore up the agenda of this partisan group.

I have this horrible feeling that I'll be paying for getting wrangled into this for a lot longer than just tonight.

and then there's just the performance anxiety and feeling a bit ill-prepared.

so.... can I request prayers that it go smoothly, and that I not inadvertently do something to make things worse? thanks, everyone.

Now I think this is gastric reflux because she had an awful lot of that while we were away until I figured it out and bought her some antacids, plus she already has a reflux diagnosis that she doesn’t believe in. Plus she was “taking it easy” today and only walked about a mile while doing errands and bussed the rest. So I think she probably has gastric reflux and not a heart condition. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. I’m going to worry about it anyway. [/Vent alert]

For my paper to get accepted for publication, my PhD proposal to be accepted with full funding and necessary extension of work contracts, and the project to get released on time this week.

For G. and S. and S; for the F. family, for R., and for T.

For the repose of my father-in-law Jack, who died last night in his 96th year, after a long, productive, and challenging life. My mother-in-law Laurie is devastated - after nearly 70 years of marriage she has lost her daily love and companion. She has dementia, so every moment is new grief: she hadn't realised he was dying, and she is in a bad way.

I will miss him greatly. Although he was a cantankerous old coot, he loved me and loved to confuse people by talking about his fifth daughter.

My daughter C is as we speak waiting with her sister-in-law M to see the consultant to decide whether to terminate M's pregnancy. She has very little amniotic fluid, the foetus is small but has no room to move, and may have chromosome problems. M herself isn't in the best of health and needs surgery at some point to fix her collarbone. They have suggested testing the placenta for chromosome problems instead of the amniotic fluid, but this has a very high risk of miscarriage. I'm waiting for C to text again once they've seen the consultant. Please pray for M [Votive]

please pray for the souls of Flossie and John. they were murdered by their mentally ill son on Tuesday. Flossie was my friend in High School, and my mother's student.

and if you see fit, please pray that the state of Alaska gets our collective heads out of our asses about treating the mentally ill. They had been calling for help with this kid for a year, and the authorities said they could do nothing "until something criminal happens". Well, something awful has happened.

Prayers please for those of us camped out at the Elder Tors' house. Father Tor is entering what we expect to be the final stage of his life: he's mostly given up on eating, drinks very little, and tomorrow he gets fitted with a morphine pump which will more-or-less tie him to the bed (which is, symbolically and ironically, in my old bedroom). We're also getting a nurse to sit with him during the night so that my mum, fiercely independent and determined to care for him, can actually get some sleep.

A hospice may be his final destination, but it's difficult to let go.

Please pray for me and for Cubby.

For me, because last night I had a ghastly emotional meltdown after not eating all day, and I think I now need to face the fact (which I'd thought was true before) that yes, I really am hypoglycemic to some degree, and I must eat even when Cubby doesn't feel like it or whatever (which he has also specifically begged me to do). Even junk food is better than nothing.

For Cubby, because he's still in a lot of pain with the arthritis, now currently focused on one of his knees. Basically he was taken off his anti-inflammatory meds because they were bothering his kidneys, given vicodin (ugh, ugh, ugh, he hates it, it's not very helpful, and it puts him right into outer space, which drives him and me crazy), then used up the vicodin (thank God, he doesn't want more of it--it's a very addictive med for some people)... sleeping a lot. The pain keeps him up so he sleeps when he can. He has a call in to his doctor for a better med of SOME kind, fingers crossed.

(That was part of why I didn't eat yesterday till horribly late--he never seemed to be ready to get out of bed, so I just kept putting it off so we could eat together. This was a horrible mistake on my part that I must not repeat.)

PS: Made sure I ate even fast food on way to work this morning, and brought home some for us both for lunch, and nagged Cubby till he ate as well. [Smile] Now pondering what to make for dinner, but eating at reasonable times has made a MASSIVE difference for me today. This must be Discipline Priority Number One in my life, I think, because it affects everything else.

Please pray for Rachael and Peter, who are getting married here in the hospice today, with all that means for the couple, their families, their friends and the staff.

There's also Christmas happening for another patient just down the corridor.

When I asked my dad this morning if he was still here, I got a tiny, almost imperceptible, nod.

Quick note, reposted from Facebook:

Cubby should be coming home today, with home health people and a physical therapist set up as well... hospital bureaucracy has been driving him and me INSANE... charges for things (like the trip home, for which he needs assistance that I am not able to do, the use of a non-huge-scooter wheelchair to get him to his actual bedroom, etc.) that his Medicaid insurance won't pay for, grrrr, etc.

But he's COMING HOME HALLELUJAH!!

We are still, inexplicably, camped out around my dad's hospice bed. We are all pretty much exhausted, kept going by the love, kindness and good wishes of friends and family far and wide. Every day we seem to wake up and think "Surely it has to be today," and yet here we are... even the medical staff are starting to raise their eyebrows.

God moves in mysterious ways. I've run out of other explanations.

Praying through [Votive]

I have a meeting with the Head Teacher and the Business Manager tomorrow afternoon about a referral to Occupational Health. I need to talk about the chronic laryngitis that piggy-backs on every cold I get, but I'm not sure how much to say about the stress-induced depression that is making life difficult at present.

The BM is a good guy. The Head is okay, but I have a notion he rather dislikes me. Because of past experience I am mistrustful, and don't want to rely on people having high standards of professionalism, even if all the signs are I can be frank.

Prayers for wisdom, courage and strength would be welcome [Votive]

Good news Jengie. It's worth remembering that a bladder infection can have very nasty results in elderly women apart from the obvious ones. Mum was hospitalised twice, delirious. Both times were from that infection. I know of others who have had surprising side effects from such an infection.

For me. Two years ago I was diagnosed with tinnitus. I don't have it too bad and largely have forgotten about it, but it's on the list of things to sort out (tablets, the tension in my jaw or whatever). My high cholesterol of last year is being combatted with tablets and diet changes (the latter massively helped my acid reflux).

This year I've started having knee problems, largely in my left knee. I've got an appointment at the orthopedist in a few weeks. I suspect rheumatism, as it seems to be weather related.

Yesterday I discovered that I have discopathy of the neck, i.e. some discs have moved and won't come back to their place. I noticed problems because I started getting problems with my fingers and legs. Since I discovered this I've gone into some bizarre psychosomatic thing, whereby suddenly I've got a headache, a pain in the neck and just now my leg went dead from the knee down.

Regardless of all these issues, I lack strength to deal with them all. Looking after myself feels like a burden. Add that I have a 10 month old boy, me being father for the first time, I have a lot on my plate and I feel overwhelmed, especially as I feel pretty lonely.

I know others have it harder, like, but still. I ask for prayers for strength.

For me: rapid banishing of trouble gremlins. (I think someone fed them after midnight, per the film.) They're involved with a time-sensitive situation that needs to be resolved by early next week.

Plus the usual request for health, general upholding, and private intentions.


Thanks.

Just a few items for prayer.

I am being baptised at my local church on Sunday 2nd November - full immersion. The time feels right and will mark the changes God has been making in my life, especially this past year. Please pray for protection against anything that might seek to prevent this and against and spiritual attack afterwards.

Speaking of which I need prayer for plantar fasciitis in my left foot which means I can hardly walk.

Thirdly, when a friend visited me from church at lunchtime things got "nasty" with a neighbour over parking. I don't want to have my friends scared to come and visit me because of one person's attitude, which is also worsened because he wants his wife out of hospital and is waiting for the sort of care I'm recieving so he may think I've jumped a queue whereas it's different departments (long term vs short term care). Please pray for that family as the wife has MS and her health is deteriorating very quickly.

Please pray for my mum, 91 years old, who has been wonderfully independent all her life but is now deteriorating physically and to some extent mentally. It's very distressing for all the family.

I'm feeling rubbish today.

Over the last couple of years I have had a series of medical problems, most of which turned out to be me getting overly anxious/panicky about something very minor. Then a few weeks ago I had a 'genuine' medical problem and I ended up in hospital for three days. I thought it was all resolved but now I'm worried that the symptoms are coming back and I'm feeling a bit scared. I don't know whether to go back to my GP yet again or just hope it will all go away.

Added to this is the fact that I'm now being treated for anxiety/depression and I don't think the doctor is going to take vague physical symptoms very seriously – just assume it's another example of me getting myself into a state about nothing. Which it very well could be [Frown]

Feeling very miserable. Please pray for some sort of resolution.

Thank you

Marmalade is apparently also fighting cancer.

I know everyone has been asking for updates on Marm and we finally have some news… We just spoke with our veterinarian and after further testing they can confirm that it's lymphoma (B Cell)

So the chemotherapy treatment plan they have suggested will last 6 months, once a week for 2 months and then every other week after that... Of course Marm being FIV positive may make things more difficult we will be discussing this with them.

The good thing is that Marmalade had the tumor removed and he's a young guy so this works in his favor when it comes to response rate and remission time [Smile]

Prayers are desperately needed for my wife, C (Zeke on the Ship). Her teaching position is in jeopardy. She often comes home nearly in tears because the kids are mostly horrible and one of her bosses seems to have it in for her. I cannot support this household by myself and even if I could, she has student loans to pay. I said a Novena, am messaging my favourite priest and likely going to early Mass. What else can I do?

There was a double-booking for the Telemum's angiogram, which she got up at 5am for a 7:45 start.

She came stamping home, unannounced, at 3pm demanding a stack of cheeseburgers because she hadn't eaten for 10 hours and refused to wait any longer. She now thinks she doesn't need the angiogram, which was purely elective. She is probably right, but... you know. Lord, bless her and keep her.

Also, I'm trying to meet a deadline...

I haven't been posting for several months and the reason may sound a little weird. Back in late spring I started getting burned out on social media. I'd returned to my long-unused several-years-old Facebook account, but soon (not soon enough?) i realized what a time-waster it was for me. About that time I misplaced my SoF password and around that time non-cyber household/family business was at the fore. Thus, at that point having become quite burnt out on computer communication i let the missing password slide even tho it would be easy to retrieve.

But it had nothing to do with the Prayers of the People thread which, in retrospect I regret not keeping in touch. This medium may be virtual but you/we folks are real.

first and foremost, prayers for Ken on his passage. I was stunned to hear of Ken's death. I never personally communicated with him but I always looked forward to his posts over the years. A great mind and spirit.

Prayers for Nanny Ogg, for Lamb Chopped's Mouse and Chastmastr's Marmalade. Prayers for Telepath and Telemum, the5thMary, Emendator Liturgia, partber, and eternal rest for EM's mother

Amazingly i still have remained feeling perfectly healthy despite the presence in my body of both the prostate cancer and the metastasis of melanoma. God is so good!!! I have had a wonderful spring, summer and fall.

They still are just monitoring the melanoma spots in my lung which remain almost inert.

Re the prostate cancer, the PSA's have steadily of slowly risen and pretty soon they will go from the monitoring to treatment stage on that one. This was not unexpected. The medical professionals are talking about radiation combined with hormone deprivation therapy. Apparently it wouldn't be anything nausea-inducing or cause hair loss. However it would affect my physical maleness, something i'd prefer not to have happen, but to an extent hopefully foe a shorter rather than a longer time. I am being scanned today (Nov 7) and tuesday (Nov 11) to see if the prostate cancer has metastisized. Treatment options to be discussed thursday the 13th.

Still praying for my cousin C, who is still trying very energetically, (if in a less-than-realistic way?) to find his way in life at age 40. On the other hand he has been extremely helpful to me in keeping my physical household in order.

My friend J has suffered from dizziness for over a year and the docs dont know why. The lack of decent affordable health care makes the situation worse. (God please change minds and hearts of those in this country who are in a position to change this situation.)

For my 2 cats Pulsar and Little E (a new addition) I give thanks that the older (P) is starting to tolerate the younger which was a concern. Prayers for continued good health and happiness for both.

Prayers for all praying here and for all for whom they are praying.

I'm leaving in God's hand what the near future will hold for me, therapy-wise, on the basis of that meeting (it would be for the best if the prostate cancer has not metasticized). The good news is that all the treatment options being discussed, while might involve discomfort, don't seem to be the sickness and hair loss thing. (I hope i am not left neuter as a result though) [Votive]

I have a - cough - interesting meeting at work tomorrow, combined with a tendency to put my foot in my mouth and dig myself big holes. Got a union rep coming with me. Got some interviews for other jobs next week. Maybe I should treat tomorrow's meeting as an exercise in not getting stressed out when getting stressed out isn't going to change anything.

ETA - on the plus and praise side, I'm finding my phased return to work pretty okay so far (I just think that it won't work long-term unless my employer agrees to a specific reasonable adjustment for me and I suspect I might have a fight on my hands to get that reasonable adjustment).

Malik, remembering you at this difficult stage. But take comfort that even a radical prostatectomy will not neuter you - perhaps limited in your response for a while, but not neutered. 5 or 6 years ago, I was facing the operation. The wife of a friend who had undergone the surgery made the comment that they were still able to have fun, just in a different form while things adjusted themselves. As things turned out neither the op nor ray treatment was necessary for me, but good advice from your urologist is the place to start.

Prayers for the baby gorilla and her family.
Thanks and praise for my 2 feline family members who bring much joy to this household. And thanks and praise for all who work to let our fellow animal creatures have tp the extent possible the kind of life their Maker intended for the work of their Maker's hands.

Thanks for your prayers and comments Gee D. Surgery is ruled out in any case. Hormone deprivation therapy would definitely be a part of it. Radiation also if the malignancy has NOT spread from the prostate. If it has, then no radiation but more hormone deprivation. (Hmmm. That's food for thought) Meanwhile my melanoma remains quietly under the surface (sort of like watching a volcano to see if it will erupt or not)

Well, off to my onco right now to find out whether or not their is metastasis or not [Votive] [Votive] [Votive] and to find out what is in my near future therapy-wise.

One of our shipmates, (who doesn't post anymore) lost her Mother this week, Our shipmate lives in the US and her mother lives in Europe. This week has been tough for her, because she didn't have a passport, (it expired) and had to go through that drama. Then, it costs a lot of money, (even with a bereavement ticket) and one of her relatives helped out. It was that kind of upsetting kind of week.
You know, 'can I go, should I go, can I afford it?' kind of week.

It makes me sad for her, but God worked it all out and could you please join me in praying her through her sadness and that the trip will be stress free? Thank you.

Thank you for that elucidation Malik. Hormone deprivation treatment was not suggested to me as a possibility. Had my problem turned out to be a malignant growth, my choices would have been to have had ray treatment, some chemotherapy, an operation, a combination of these, or done nothing. After discussion with the consultant urologist (and friends) Madame and I decided that I would have the operation first and then see what further treatment was necessary. Fortunately I did not have the complications of other health problems which confront you, and even more fortunately my problem turned out not to be a malignancy but something which could be fixed by a very simple operation (with none of the problems which can go with a radical prostatectomy) and some rest to recover.

Prayers for you for guidance in your decision-making, and that your specialists provide you with skilled and compassionate treatment.

I need your prayers because I badly badly need to vent in the most foul-mouthed rant ever, and I can't do it anywhere or to anyone because of confidentiality. I am just so immensely angry that I have been put in this position and basically made to do someone else's dirty work. The only comfort I can take from this is that the appalling message I had to deliver was arguably more kindly delivered by me than it would have been by someone else. God's been listening to quite a few swearwords this evening, and I think he might be joining in.

And much more important than me, please you could pray for the recipient of that message. They were incredibly gracious, but I delivered them a sucker punch, no doubt about that.

Thanks and praises for the birth of Baby T and prayers for baby and family.

Cottontail, without going into details, the situation you describe -- concerning yourself and the person to whom you had to deliver an appalling message -- sounds like a horrible work environment i once had to live under. My prayers for you and the person to whom you had to give the message.

Thanks SO MUCH, everybody, for your prayers. The outcome of my visit with the radiation oncologist was better than my even most optimistic projections. First and foremost, the scans found no metastasis of the prostate cancer!!! Secondly, even though I will be getting radiation beam as expected, they are not going to do the hormone deprivation at all at this time, which I was not expecting. I had taken for granted that I would be starting at least some amount. Of the 2 therapies, that was the one I least wanted. True there are uncertainties re the radiation effects, but where it is being directed is NOT near my large intestine thus nausea not expected as a side effect. (My mom had radiation for breast cancer and of the things she was dealing with at the time the radiation effects were among the least) (just let them aim the beam accurately lol.)

I'd like to ask prayers for my cousin C, who at the age 40 is still trying to find himself. He has such a good heart and great energy (and has been immensely helpful to me in times of need) but a mature focus still seems to elude him.

Would you all please hold Daughter-Unit in your prayers? She's been diagnosed with a kidney infection, which has been getting worse, despite her doctor's care. She is miserable, and has had an allergic reaction to one of her meds. She has missed three days of work so far since last week, which she really doesn't like to do.

Without boring you with a lot of details, you might want to know that she has had major health problems since she was fourteen months old. She's such a loving, sweet person, and it has killed me to see her suffer her whole life.

My ultimate prayer would be for her to enjoy good health from now on. [Frown]

Please pray that I can be productive and focussed in my work. I also have my teaching work to do alongside this so I need to get that done too.
Many thanks

The meeting yesterday wasn't pleasant. My manager tried to make out that I hadn't been overworked and that he had done everything possible to support me, which isn't true. I'm truly grateful for all your prayers - and also for my Union rep, who was wonderful. I'm expecting a call from occupational health later this morning, so would appreciate prayer for that too, please.

The Elf Lass finally seems to be recovering from the viral thing she so kindly brought home from nursery the other week. However both TME and I have been knocked sideways with it and have both had to take days off work. Added to the general lurgy I am now in my 2nd day of a migraine which meds just aren't touching - it's a long time since I've felt this rough, and I'd really appreciate prayer for a break for our little family.

When she goes back to nursery I'm going to dress her in a hazmat suit, I honestly can't handle her bringing anything else home like this!

In more thankful news, she was 1 yesterday and we are so thankful every day for her. She is such a joy (in spite of her generous sharing of germs).

Of all the days in the year, I hate December 1st. There are too many memories climbing to the surface. My eldest brother, Paul, left this world too early 20 years ago. Today would have been his 76th birthday. Happy Birthday, Jay. I love you.

Also on December 1st, my father, Paul Sr, was killed on Highway 401. He was also 56. I love you, Dad. I still miss you, even if I am now an old man myself. You were a great father, and I am so sorry I never got to know you on an adult level.

I pray for the both of them tomorrow. May their souls rest in peace.

And for some loved ones whose adult son has been and is being, in my view, downright cruel to them, but I don't think it proper to give more details than that.

And for Cubby's health, what with ... very frustrating crap he's been dealing with with doctor, pharmacy, and insurance. (He's on Medicaid and switched insurers to have access to a good nephrologist, but everything else in that system seems to be much worse, so he's switching back as soon as possible. Till that happens, we're genuinely worried about the care he's getting--or, rather, not getting.)

I had a difficult conversation with my sister yesterday, where she said there was no point in us ever communicating again as our relationship was over.

My best to Joyful Noise etc. He was always good value when he posted regularly.

My eldest nephew (son of my late eldest brother) is back on drugs. Have spent the morning dealing with phone calls and emails from other family members. He soaked a lot of money out of his brother and me with stories that became fuller of holes until someone did a check.

Pray for all of us too. We will never see a penny of that money again.

Some of us just have to accept that our birth family (sometimes a family we marry into) is made up of people who only have part of their DNA sequence in common.

Some of us go to wider family events offering up prayers that our siblings/ parents don't choose the event to carry on a decades-long row or whatever.

Not all brothers and sisters get on - you may find a cause for the hatred and/or resentment in your upbringing but it may just be that you have nothing in common and don't particularly like each other.

Lamb Chopped has offered up some prayer requests on my behalf, but I'm finally back my own self, in the virtual flesh.

Every other year, it seems, I end up with cancer bombing out Christmas: 2010 was the original, stage 3 inflammatory breast carcinoma. 2012 was the little one, an early-stage breast cancer dealt with via surgery.

Now the first one has returned, like a bad movie sequel: Stage 4, the Revenge. It's metatasized to my sacrum, the left half of which looks like one of those wind-sculpted rock formations in the Utah desert.

My docs think we can "manage" it, with radiation, new pills, and "bone builders" delivered via infusion. No chemo this time, for which I give thanks.

I ask your prayers for strength (physical, emotional, spiritual), for success in the treatment, and for a continued sense of humor.

Thank you!

Praying for all!! And love and welcome back to Rossweisse!!

Speaking of family holiday trepidation, I have finally decided to send cards, with a letter inside explaining who I am (which will include the fact that, yes, I'm gay--I'm 47 and I have no intent to dilly-dally around with that as if it's a game) to the various relatives, mainly cousins, whom I haven't really gotten to know, and who my parents (now dead seven years) would have been the ones to send cards to. I'm not sure how the Baptist minister uncle in Kentucky will react (... I can make a guess...) nor the other relatives on that side of the family, but, well, I don't know what to expect, but I really want to make at least one real stab at getting connected to my biological family, even if it doesn't work out. Maybe I'll get a nice response from some of them, maybe I'll get hate mail telling me where I will go when I die. No idea. Nervous but I really want to make at least one try... [Help]

Cubby's health seems to be, I think, improving. But definitely not happy with this doctor/insurance thing.

And of course for my and all students, and those who teach them, as at least here next week is Finals Week. [Eek!]
 
Posted by ChastMastr (# 716) on :
 
Oh, and... a rekindling of my faith. Not that I've stopped believing or anything like that, but now that I am 47, and I haven't accomplished the sorts of things I thought I would have, and I have more of a sense of my impending mortality... I find myself troubled by the fact that all of that bothers me. It didn't used to. When I was a young Christian and first in college, I couldn't wait to die and be with Jesus. Have I become so rooted in this world that I've lost that desire? I don't think I have, but I think it needs to be rekindled a bit. The whole "we had a house and it got foreclosed" thing (now, what, 5 years ago?) weighs on me as if it's a personal moral failing, rather than as "stuff of this world" to move on from. Please pray.

Early this morning I had a scarily realistic dream about something that's been worrying me a lot recently. I'm really hoping it's just a dream that's being caused by some of the stuff that's been in the headlines the past few weeks and not some ominous portent of something that's about to happen, and I feel a little silly to be so shaken by a dream, but I am.

Posted by North East Quine (# 13049) on :
 
My father has just been taken to hospital in considerable pain, with a blocked catheter.

He wouldn't need the catheter if he could have a simple operation to reduce the size of his prostate, but he is on blood-thinning drugs which means that the prostate operation carries extra risks.

However, there are also risks associated with taking him off the blood-thinners whilst he's getting chemotherapy.

But stopping the chemo, in order to cut out the blood thinners and get his prostate op carries risks too.

Please pray that
1) the next test result (due this week) shows that he is in remission (currently predicted that he'll go into remission Jan/Feb, so not too big an ask, please God?)
2) that his baseline health bounces back quickly, and he's well enough for the prostate op ASAP.

And prayers of thanks for the NHS, doctors, nurses and pharmacists involved in his care.

Prayers please. I'm going in for a second cataract operation today.
With the first eye I had done I can read the smallest print on the eye chart whereas my old eye can't even read the top E, however, I'm used to my myopic bubble and good close vision, and am loathe to exchange it for clarity at a distance and blurriness up close.
I should have done my homework on it, though I suspect that any lenses other than standard issue would have cost too much for me. The first operation didn't go smoothly (though the result was okay) and I don't imagine I could bear to have the first lens swapped, so I'm locked in now with just a few hours to go.
A word of advice to anyone having cataracts done, do investigate it thoroughly first, and note to self, don't be such a procrastinator and don't let the bitter root grow.

Eye op seems to have gone okay. It certainly wasn't as difficult as the first one. When I arrived, I voiced my concerns and was able to determine that although not many people opt for it, it is possible to have one eye set for distance and one for close up - and it didn't cost extra, so that's what I chose.
Time will tell whether it works for me but at least I'm giving it a go and hopefully won't need reading or distance glasses.
Blessings on all who work in health areas and all who need prayers.

May everyone involved clearly understand the situation, and who *really* didn't do what they were supposed to do, and now do the right thing, and be merciful to me. And may I be upheld and strengthened in all ways.

The meeting yesterday went quite well and my manager apologised for a few things, which I wasn't expecting. However, he believes my workload was reasonable and kept citing the fact that 'everyone's busy' as justification for overloading me. I'll be very interested to read the minutes when he circulates them.

Continued prayers needed for Zeke's career. I know God is watching over us: I go to church twice a week, but she is still in trouble at school. I wish she could teach high school Honours English to students who wanted to be there instead of to little punks who do everything they can to make her miserable.

She also needs your prayers for a full recovery from an infection called "pink-eye".

I was braced for a big critique of my PhD proposal from Boss. Instead he replied with a link to a possible funding source. So all (all?) I have to do is scrape up enough money within the next couple months (de jure deadline is June, de facto deadline is Jan, but obviously we won't meet that) to pay my salary plus discounted staff fees for the next three years, and we're laughing.

I started treatments this last week: The first infusion ("bone builders" = something that feels a lot like flu) and radiation. I am very blessed to have so many caring people in charge of my treatments.

And since heavy-duty radiation is the biggest part of my treatment this time, I give thanks especially for the wonderful new radiation oncologist (a friend of my boss's sister, actually) instead of the not-so-wonderful old radiation oncologist who looked and acted very much like my ex-husband.

I can do this.

my daughter has decided to ask her husband to leave. frankly, I'm grateful. I've been holding my breath for 2 years. He's a good kid, but he's a kid, mentally speaking. and he's got just enough dysfunction that I can easily see him becoming a future abuser. the boy needs a lot of therapy, but is not willing to make it happen despite lots of urging and opportunity. So I'm relieved.

but this will not be easy on any of the three of them (4, counting the dog) or any of us who love them, so prayers for the whole family would be great.

[Votive] for all. And for Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson who were killed in the Sydney siege.

Can you please pray for the family of my childhood friend Tien? She was killed by a drug affected driver in February and the driver has just been sentenced. They are feeling like justice has not been done because a legal loophole meant the driver was able to refuse a blood test to test the amount of drugs in his system because he was not injured. This despite killing my childhood friend and seriously injuring her partner. Because of this he may only serve 20 months in jail. Please pray this law is changed so that drug levels can be tested in the same way alcohol levels are.

Please also pray that the driver takes the most of this opportunity to reform and break his drug habit so more lives are not damaged.

She is soon to submit her PhD, but is finishing writing up whilst looking after 3 young children, nursing her sick (and possibly dying) sister-in-law, preparing the whole family for their move back to their country early next year - all the children were born there, but the youngest will have no memories of it having come over here as a baby, and the older kids only have selective memories. The country in question is not a happy place currently, and she will need to be very present for her kids as they return and change schooling systems, leave friends behind and re-enter a totally different culture. I did a bit of proof-reading for J recently, and when I saw her yesterday I asked if there was anything else I could do to help. She is a very devout Muslim, and simply said "if you are a praying person, please pray for me, that's what I need".

These are dear friends, and I am pleased to be with them. But I think that, if I am ever in Canada again for Christmas, I will stay home.

I pray, nevertheless, for all who are alone at Christmas, and do not want to be. I pray for my niece who spent last Christmas sitting by the bedside of her eldest daughter, making a decision to pull the plugs.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers about my appointment. The specialist was extremely kind, as he had been previously. The hard thing is that he realizes I am having some sort of significant difficulty, but they can't find a diagnosis and thus there is no treatment. They thought I might have myasthenia gravis, but I do not. It's a blessing not to have myasthenia gravis in one way, but as the doctor said, it's also a hard thing, because at least that could be treated.

I hold her in my prayers. Christmas in the hospital is the grimmest of all separations, especially for children. I've been there too... and I still remember those times, even if my childhood is lost in the mists of my memories.

Adding that it was an easy and blessed death--they had just got him home from the hospital, into his own bed, and he died quietly while Mr. Lamb was patting his cheek to ask him a question about his care.

Since then my mother, my uncle and two of Mum's cousins have come down with bad colds / chest infections / pneumonia sufficiently severe to have warranted home visits from their respective doctors.
