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.

For those eagerly anticipating what the new year will bring - may your hopes be fulfilled.

For those who find the new year hard to face - God give you the strength to face it and to take each day as it comes.

For those afraid, alone, unhappy and/or with nobody to care for them, the lonely and the lost, may you find peace and comfort this night.

And for those who have to work, on hospital wards, or as police or security, or to take care of others, may you have a safe and peaceful night.

And for no terror attacks to disrupt the new year.

I ask your prayers for my father, Tom, in home hospice. (He's a couple of days past the docs' expectations for his survival - go! fight! live!)

Selfishly, I also ask your prayers for me, now starting my second year of living with Stage IV cancer. I would like to keep living for a while longer.

Please could you help me pray for my mum and dad? Dad is having tests at the moment for various ailments, he is sure that everything is Absolutely Fine and there is nothing wrong at all, whilst mum is convinced that every tiny symptom is a sign of Something Terrible and they're just counting down to an apocalyptic terminal diagnosis, and so is basically a tearful wreck. Both my sister and I live miles and miles away (my sister is in a different country, and we're an 8 hour drive away), so it's not even like we can pop in and give them a bit of light relief.

Can you find room in your prayer pile for our son P and his partner S who are expecting their first child any day. S is back in hospital (she has become prone to "stress-related" seizures especially in pregnancy). Tests currently show that the baby is on the small side, but OK.

Posted by Offeiriad (# 14031) on :
 
Thank you for your prayers for R's colonoscopy today: I'm afraid the outcome was disappointing. She has a polyp too large to remove in today's procedure, diverticulitis (infection) is still evident, and the doctor was unable to safely complete the examination.

The next step is to return for a further colonoscopy under anaesthetic in a month: this will carry two levels of risk - the dangers to do with her intermittent heart problem, and the dangers of puncturing an inflamed colon. All being well the polyp (and any others found) will be removed and sent for examination to see if it is malignant. Then it seems likely that further surgery will be required to remove the damaged section of intestine.

Your continuing thoughts and prayers would be appreciated - thank you.

My scan went well last week and I've been told that everything appears to be normal - so that's good. (it doesn't explain why I keep getting bouts of tummy pain but as they seem to have excluded anything nasty I suppose i can put up with that when it comes.)

Church not going so well. Still need to work out what to do about that [Frown] Prayers appreciated.

Z had chest pains last week and had exploratory surgery at great expense which proved nothing. We pray that her doctor will fax her boss clearance to return to teaching, God willing.

She just got off the phone with a paramedic from the local fire station. He told her to get treatment right away if her chest pains continue! The cardiologist found nothing and we have flushed mass quantities of money down the toilet with nothing found wrong with her. Her pulse is v. low.

I can only hope that this is not the year we are both scheduled to die: her mom died of a heart attack at age 65 but my grand mother lived to see age 94 and her daughter, my aunt Rose, is going to be 93 this year. Aunt Rose has a stent. We thought Z would get one too!

Can I please ask for prayers again for my work situation? It is all very complicated and have big decision to make between less-than-good options. Have never been this stressed before (and not because I have had a quiet life so far!)

Rationally, I don't think God gets involved in our human decisions - he has given us the skills to make choices, after all.
But I wish I didn't feel so overwhelmed and lonely right now.

My wife R is having a risky investigation under anaesthetic tomorrow - there are dangers in the procedure they are planning, and she has heart issues anyway.

We also need movement in an ongoing problem with her pension holding company. we are trying to move her pension pot, and they are stringing things out by every possible means. This is causing both of us real stress. Please pray.

A bit late on this but a neighbour man has just had a malignant growth removed from his brain - the doctor said they caught it just in time as it was all set to cause hemiplegia type paralysis - he is not the sort of guy who would have coped well with paralysis. He still has a long way to go for his recovery, the operation was only on Saturday.

I haven't been around much lately because - of all things - I'm having extreme difficulty getting up at the right time in the morning and for the want of this nail, the shoe keeps getting lost.

I'm also slogging through a revision of a grant application that is taking FOREVER and on which my continued employment depends. Everything depends on this and it's been going on for so very very long that it's weighing heavily on my shoulders.

Would also appreciate prayers for P. who is under the same kind of pressure with grant applications.

I just need a lot of upholding plese.

Also I have an event tonight which could bring good luck if I manage it right.

My wife R came safely through her colonoscopy this afternoon, and we are now home. The good news is that the polyp seen last time has been removed. The not so good news is that due to an underlying issue it is not going to be possible to complete the examination by colonoscopy. She has been referred for a special kind of scan which will be safe to attempt in about 6-8 weeks: the specialist believes this will give a clearer idea of her overall condition and treatment options.

So: thank you for your thoughts/prayers - I'm afraid we'll need them a little while longer please!

Very sad about the little girl. According to reports, brown snake bites are not necessarily painful and may not even be noticed. By the time the venom had taken effect it was far too late for pressure bandages to work or even anti-venene.

Please pray for the three men lost under the rubble at Didcot Power Station after part of the building collapsed on them last night.

It's been a bitterly cold night and although a search team's been working through the night with sniffer dogs and thermal imaging devices, and is still going, there are still no reported signs of life.

I ask your prayers please for our neighbours, J and I, who are an elderly couple in their 80s. I bumped into I this evening as we arrived home at the same time, having not seen her for a while - she said that J is really ill, very weak; he was diagnosed with cancer in August and is now home and won't be going back to hospital. He had had tests recently to see if they could put a stent in his bile duct, but it sounds like his oesophagus is too swollen for them to get the scope down, and it sounds like it's just a case of keeping him as comfortable as possible.

For St. G.

For ArachnidinElmet’s L’s gran, for a safe journey home. For the family and friends of R to be comforted in their loss.

For Ariel and her Mum.

Thanks for the safe return of St Everild’s cat.

For Mamacita’s C, may light perpetual shine upon her. For her parents A and C.

For Lia’s job situation, and for some peace of mind and rest.

For Jack the Lass’s J, for healing, and for upholding for I.

For Lothlorien’s P, for healing.

For saysay to understand.

So, I haven’t been on here for ages as a result of generally not being on top of things. The grant application is ruining my life and killing my motivation. I NEED to get it all done bar the shouting by tomorrow. Hlep.

For P, in a similar situation.

Thanks to all who prayed for the Telemum. She has no symptoms and has been told not to come back until she has some. Her blood pressure is a bit raised, though. But I guess all is fine, which is great.

For Auntie Danger.

For Cousin H, in South America.

Like many others above, I would appreciate prayers for my own job situation.

The bullying problem from some months ago has been solved by and large (many of my colleagues expressing incomprehension and anger at the bully now as well, and it's definitely not just me). It has got better and the boss will keep an eye on it. Thank you for your intercessions there and then, and your kind words. They have greatly helped!

Today, I'd like to ask for prayer regarding the number of hours I can work from summer. We have an annual reassessment, with everything depending on clients' demands. Although a basic time-frame and thus income seems safe, this is not sufficient for me. It would be helpful to have a similar commitment like this year, which has been a good one in terms of the amount of work, of time off and of pay. It definitely helps when you know most of the time how to pay your bills...!

Prayers for all in need of help, for the sick, those in despair, those with other needs, spoken or unspoken:

Extremely anxious about finishing this thing. Worried about encroachment of worst enemy into my network (they get everywhere). Last night I dreamed a great white shark was trying to get into my open but locked window, and I was trying to be rational about the threat level because a) shark mouths aren’t really configured for getting inside ajar-but-open upper floor windows, and b) how long can it reasonably survive outside the water anyway? But, you know, I was still terrified. I feel somewhat the same way about finishing this thing, except that that’s much more of a rational fear.

I really really really need funding, and so does P, and so does C.

I’ve not quite chased off the Finance Monster but I’m hoping to have done so by the end of the month… obviously it would help if I could keep him away…

But as for my other Lenten promise, you can not get me out of bed in the morning for love nor money. I have absolutely no moral fibre when I’m semiconscious (or at any other time, but you know what I mean). It’s awful that I can’t even manage this when I made a promise before God.

Had a horrible shock last night. My brother died suddenly yesterday morning. His wife went out to feed the chickens then when she came back in, K had collapsed on the kitchen floor. She tried CPR as did the paramedics, but to no avail. It looks like a massive heart attack and there were no signs of distress, but there will have to be a post-mortem.

He was 73 and while he had Parkinson's all that had done was to make him frustrated at not being able to do electrical work.

Can you offer a prayer for K, his widow R (who lost her father only eighteen months ago) their daughters M & H, his grandson R and the girls partners M & D.

The worst aspect I can think of is that his grandchildren will never know him (two more are on the way). He was a lovely man, and we'll all miss him terribly.

eta: [Votive] especially for APW's Peter.

I have a friend who is concerned that there is something demonic affecting his life, through a relation.

I have problems with a belief in demons, and am more likely to attribute his situation to someone's selfcentredness.

I also have problems with intercessory prayer, which he feels may be the solution, as it has not, in my experience, resolved anything I have prayed about for others*. To the extent that I am reluctant to pray for others in case it has a negative effect.

Which is why I don't come here very much.

But support for my friend other than what I can physically offer would be welcomed. He does seem to be strengthened in his ability to cope, at any rate. As do I. But he has a tremendous burden, which would be lessened if the other party could somehow be supported to find non-manipulative ways of relating to others.

*These prayers have not been the prescriptive sort of shopping list prayers I have sometimes read about being answered. I don't assume I know the best way of dealing with problems.

I have posted before about my nephew F and his severe asthma. Last year he spent about 3 months in total in hospital and he has been in and out of hospital all this year. My brother's family lives on the coast and he has been going to a hospital there, but now is being moved to the Royal Children's in Melbourne as doctors hope they can find a treatment that can control his asthma better so he isn't always in hospital or having life threatening attacks. Obviously it has been a really stressful time for us all, especially my brother, sister-in-law and nephew's siblings. The whole family will be staying in Melbourne while he is in hospital here.

Please pray that an effective treatment is found and for strength and encouragement for the family.

An update on my nephew. His asthma improved in Melbourne and the Royal Children's decided not to do a lung scope as it is an invasive procedure and also would have had to be done under general anaesthetic as my nephew would not allow a tube up his nose while conscious. They decided he was well enough to go home, but have said to bring him back if his asthma worsens again within the next month.

I saw the whole family last night before they headed home and nephew seemed pretty good. He had one asthma attack, but not a severe one and was ok after using his ventolin. I'd love to think this means he will have a while out of hospital, but given how often he has had severe asthma I know this is unlikely.

It's frustrating that the trip to Melbourne hasn't provided any answers or solutions.

For companionship, good cheer and peace of mind for Alex Cockell.

For the Telemum.

So, I really want to stay in my current job and am very slowly writing the thing that may enable that. But it’s really too late now to achieve that without a gap in employment, even if it succeeds (the chances are slim, but no slimmer than anyone else’s; I could succeed).

Besides that there are two other prospects, both of which would remove my ability to support myself financially into the future. So you see, none of it is good. Except that both could be stellar opportunities and I’m just too myopic to see it. I mean, if I win them, which I may not.

And also for me to get on top of things in general. I’m not too proud of myself lately.

And, please, find me another soul to stand with.

This is a long one...

WIll need a LOT of prayer suppor as I continue to heal..

I recently posted this on Reddit when asked to explain how i processed 2nd wave radfem rhetoric...

The experience is my own.

I was one of the first ever people to receive an Asperger diagnosis in 1987, personally diagnosed by Lorna Wing in 1987, 2 years after she translated Hans Asperger's papers. Consequently I was very literal in my interpretation of inbound signals.

This also led to me running a minus-5-year Delta in sociosezual development.

I experienced low level Sexual abuse by predatory girls at age 13, sociosexual dev was approx 8. They silenced me by threatening to cry rape if I talked. I was also victim blamed by my female militant Feminist tutor-group tutor. I also had the deafeningly loud message from Dworkin feminists from news reports concurrent in 1984. Namely that somehow I was a "rapist" because I had a penis or something. (The tutor-group is your base class in the British secondary school system of the time. American equiv would be homeroom).

I started suicidally eating.

Scott Aaronson's experience is also relevant, as I heard the same toxic mix of conservative American Christian messages and the deafening slander by Team Dworkin. As a Brit, this was very confusing, as the UK is apparently "gender egalitarian", according to voices i hear from the government... or something.

Michael Kimmell, being downstream of Dworkin/Mackinnon, is also toxic to autistic men. I also went onto internalise the the Eunuch/Rapist dichotomy described in Thing of Things . Also is Hugh Ristik's When you have Feminist guilt you don't need Catholic guilt . I'm Baptist.

Mary Koss's action in creating the made to penetrate category in 1984 erased me, until 2004, when I was told by a counsellor that my abuse was not my fault. Kimmell woudl have me view my rape (by Feminism's own rules) as my fault because I was guilty of the crime of penis possession or something.

Somehow Kimmell would hold me guilty for my own abuse as "men cannot be raped, it's unwanted contact" according to Koss and somehow I was too "privileged" to be raped or something. I was brought off against my will.

Somehow Steinem Feminist rhetoric makes me a subhuman rapemonster worthy of death or something... Why?

Kidscape and Erin Pizzey report how the loud militant TERFy faction in Feminism sent death threats re the acknowledgement of male victims of dv and rape. Warren Farrell and Karen DeCrow were working towards reworking consent in the 1970s. Greer et al stood in the way of this. Greer goes further. She is on record as saying that as a victim of female perp rape, I should be incarcerated as a threat. FOR WHAT?!

Add how I used my own experience to describe how a predatory woman could use Valenti/Friedman Yes Means Yes rules to frame a man for his own rape at her hands. This comment in Valenti's ymy Guardian piece was upvoted 50 times in 90 minutes.. Then frantically deleted and I was put on premod.
Is someone trying to hide something?
And my main reaction to the activist side was also led by...

I don't know where i fit - or IF I fit...

Maybe this is not permitted ofr me to post - I don't know.

I don't know.
I don't know..

Lord - I want off this planet.

Thanks Telepath. Tell you what, something you folks could do is join with the Egalitarian Feminists (new GRP) and apply a clue by four to Koss? Ellen Pence already said "oops I fucked up" re cognitive bias, and Susan Brownmiller has admitted to Erin Pizzey that she may have got some things wrong and scapegoated a load of guys...

[Votive] May God unite us in prayer.

Have had a bad couple of days-- got out of town on Saturday, and the distance from the usual crap at home seemed to unleash something in me-- a memory about me and my sister set off a crying jag that lasted most of the day. Sunday wasn't much better.

I've mentioned on another thread the anger and retaliation I get from my mom when she catches me being visibly sad in front of her, and if you're wondering if the seriousness of the situation has softened her at all-- that would be a "no." My job is to provide attention, validation, and accomodation to everyone else, and God help me if I can't provide it.

Alex,

You've described yourself as a "literal penguin", so I'm going to make this simple.

Do not use this thread to discuss feminism. No comments about the proportion of feminists are "anti-men", how loud their voice seems to you, or anything else.

I'll also repeat what you have been told before. These are public discussion boards, and as such they are a highly inappropriate place to discuss what are clearly very personal and painful issues. You have previously stated that you are seeking help elsewhere, that will be far better for you than any discussion on the Ship of Fools. I'm sure everyone here will join me in praying that this is helping you.

Slightly delayed due to the time it's taken me to process this, but then what is time to God...

Can I ask prayers for the soul of Ted Harris, who died of injuries sustained in a car crash last week. I didn't know him at all, but my wife and I were among the first on the scene (having coincidentally been driving the other way on the road at the time) and provided emergency first aid until the paramedics arrived. Really sad - though not 100% surprised given his injuries - that he didn't make it [Frown] [Tear] [Votive]

I have just received messages from two friends who know the power of Shipmates prayers.

Would you please keep baby Ella in your prayers. She is (IIRC) four months old and has liver failure. She is being rushed to Miami for a procedure which will hopefully keep her alive.

Also, Kim, the new daughter-in-law of another friend, is in the hospital with heart failure. She has had heart problems for most of her life, and only recently felt well enough to marry.

Thank you all for your vital ministry.

The quake on Thursday looks more like a pre-shock. Overnight there's been a larger, M7.3, quake. It's getting quite bad down there, with a lot of buildings unsafe and people in the open.

I would again be grateful for prayers for the boyfriend/manfriend/partner of one of my cousins.

Heavy duty, super-reinforced prayers needed for my foster-sister K. She had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove a seemingly-benign tumor on her adrenal gland. The pathology department didn't like the look of it and sent it across town to the World Famous Medical School, and they've determined that her breast cancer of 6 years ago has metastasized.
I'm taking her for a PET scan on Friday. It doesn't sound good.
My sister has been here for the past three weeks, but had to return home yesterday. K. has almost no one to help out. I'll be there tomorrow, too.
My heart is breaking.

I'm still trying to work out what to do about my church situation. Please pray - I'm not quite sure what for - just that somehow things will start to feel better?

I haven't been to my own church much this year; I've been to about six others, some quite ok, some not - but it's more because I wanted to do something on Sunday mornings rather than actively looking for a new church to go to.

I went back to my church this Sunday and both clergy said it was nice to see me. I don't suppose anyone else noticed I hadn't been around much. I've told them I don't feel I fit in there any more and I feel lonely there. They're sympathetic but they haven't got any answers. Maybe there aren't any. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

I have had a bad couple of weeks (apart from buying a house, which was fab). I caught a bad cold from a colleague, which then turned into a sinus infection, for which the doctor put me on a high dose of prednisone plus antibiotics. This made me very shaky and uncoordinated and on Sunday night I managed to concuss myself mildly, but badly enough that I'm on bed rest for most of the week. Unfortunately for me, I have a job interview on Friday...

I would rather like to get this job, so I'm praying for enough brain function to sound competent. Part of the challenge is that I will be expected to do a brief part of the interview in Te Reo Maori, and I'm really hoping to do that as well as possible.

Mr. S has flu for the second time this season. He's been poorly since last Wednesday, and seems not to be improving, but of course he won't go to the doctor.

It is Miss S's graduation on Friday and we should have been going down to stay with them the night before, only now of course he can't go and be in the same house as the baby.

Please pray that he will be well enough to allow him to go to the ceremony at least - I'm going come h*ll or high water - and also for patience for me. I'm not a good nurse and he isn't a good patient, and I'm struggling to remember that he can't help it.

Nothing so far - I think he said his surgery was to be this week (after being postponed), so he's maybe still incommunicado. I hope the old adage that "no news is good news" holds.

Reading and praying [Votive]

Please pray for our S3 at school. Next week, we visit WW1 battlefields in Belgium, a rite of passage visit that happens every year. Everyone is very excited, but it's also a really emotional and profound experience for these 15 year olds. Lord, be with us as we pay tribute and remember. Please help the kids to be open to the experience, to the past and to their future, that the ones who need perspective gain it, the ones who need comfort find it, and the ones who just need to grow up a bit are able to reflect. [Votive]

Also, prayers continue for [Votive] C [Votive] , that he might imagine possibilities that he may have previously thought out of his grasp. And for me, Lord: keep me firm in the hope you have set before me. [Votive]

For me: Another pivotal bit of bureaucratic bother today. If it goes in my favor, some things should ease up. May all hearts and minds be open and working; may common sense show up (with a clue bat, if necessary); may the niggling, neglected (but crucial!) details be seen and handled properly; and may this all be resolved *soon* in my favor, and completed *soon*, so I can get on with my life.

Thanks.

Prayers would be appreciated here: my business partner is having to retire at the end of this month and, as a resulting sole practitioner conducting almost entirely property work, mortgage lenders will stop instructing me and my professional indemnity insurance premiums will rocket.

I have tried over the last several months and more desperately in the last several weeks to secure some kind of merger or additional partner(s) with various local practitioners/ firms but on each occasion have either hit a roadblock or been let down rather badly. Now the latest firm with which I've been negotiating have hit a major snag as of yesterday.

The clock is ticking and, unless I sort something out, I'm basically stuffed as of 1st June. I'm on pretty strong anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds which have kept the wolf from the door by and large up until now, but I'm starting to crumble now.

Just to say I know of somebody who was rushed to hospital with a suspected stroke that turned out to be a migraine. Not really sure migraines are totally benign by comparison; migraines do strange things to the brain and body. However, I suspect migraines are preferable.

Thanks be to God - blood tests are all clear. The doctors don't know quite what the rash is but the good news is that it isn't meningitis. He's displaying no other symptoms so we just wait and see what happens with it.

Prayers for N, a longtime dear friend who is rapidly sliding in to dementia. He slept last night in his car as he could not get into his house. Fortunately, temperature went down to only about 8 degrees celsius and he had a couple of blankets. Lots of other problems and the last few days have seen a steep slide downhill for him. More by good luck than good management, he saw a gerontologist a couple of days ago, who confirmed our diagnosis of dementia. No reaction to the word from him. He is not married, has no family anywhere near close. A group of us is coming to grips with the problem. Or trying to.

Prayers requested for all of us, please.

Before we leave we have to finish packing, get everyone to come and collect our furniture that they are buying, get rid of everything else left over in our house that no-one wants, get paperwork from the police that will be needed in the UK for DBS checks, finalise permission to export our car (important as we are traveling by ferry and road through Europe!), support our daughter through her French school Brevet exams, rehome our cat (please let the people who are thinking of taking her say yes) and say goodbye to people and the life we have been part of for so long.

Transitions indeed...a new phase of life beckons but with many unknowns as yet.

Prayers for Robert (Robbie) Gibson who is missing in South London. An activist deeply involved in a campaign to save Lambeth libraries, with many friends, he left his home on Monday afternoon, telling his wife he was going for a walk in Dulwich Park, popped into a nearby Co-op and then vanished. He may have been seen near East Croydon station shortly afterwards, where his phone was last used - it's now off.

Prayers for his family as well.

Posted by Abigail (# 1672) on :
 
I didn't go to church this morning. I'm struggling to see the point any more. I desperately want to go on seeing the point and I don't know what to do.

I don't know whether to go on going to 'my' church and putting up with the loneliness, the irritation, the disappointment that I experience there, hoping that one day I will find that it feels ok again. Or to go to other churches - as I have been doing on and off all this year. Or to have a complete break from church.

The trouble with the first is that it doesn't seem to be getting any better and although I still feel a strong sense of loyalty to it and gratitude for all the help I've had there in the past I think things (and I) have changed so much that I can never really fit in there again.

The trouble with the second is that I find it exhausting going somewhere new and having to decide how much I want to say when people ask me if I'm new, visiting or whatever, especially as I find talking to people hard anyway.

And the third option… well, I’m afraid that if I stop going I'll get used to it and never go back.

I just want to belong. To fit in. To feel there's some sort of point to my life.

I don't pray much now – not in any meaningful way. I just can't seem to do it. (Though I'm quite good at one-word prayers like Sorry. Please. Help.)

None of this is new. I've been here before - well, nearly here, it's never been quite this bad. And I feel I've so little time left to sort myself out.

Thank you for reading.

Posted by Piglet (# 11803) on :
 
{{{Abigail}}} [Votive]

Because all of my "changes of church" have been to do with music/choirs/D's job, all of which give me a perfectly logical answer to the (inferred) "why are you here" question, I'm not sure what advice I'd offer; as we're moving in a few weeks because of his job, I'll be doing it all over again.

I know I've said this before, but a cathedral/collegiate evensong (especially a week-day one) can be a very uplifting experience, and one where you need have hardly any contact with the congregation if you don't want to: you can just slip in, let the music and liturgy happen around you and slip out again, and nobody's going to ask (a) why you're there; or (b) whether you'd like to join the Altar Guild.

Piglet - Yes we did! Just last week a family who had been thinking about it got back to us and said yes! We took the cat to her new home last Thursday. We were sad to say goodbye to her. [Tear] But they are a nice family who have had cats before. The children just need to curb their enthusiasm a bit as they want to pet her but she's a bit scared of them at the moment. But I spoke to the Mum yesterday and it sounds like the cat is settling into her new environment. I'm going to miss her though....

So much sadness, so many needs for prayer. [Votive]

From me a more trivial request. I have lost my car keys. I know they are in my flat somewhere, but both the main one and my spare set are missing and so far I can't find them. I have a horrible sensation that when I put them down (whilst rushing to answer a call of nature!) they fell somewhere and I then forgot to make a mental note of where they'd fallen. And as I'm not using the car much (slowly healing ligament damage in my clutch foot), it's a few days since I saw them last. I can't afford the money or the time involved in getting new ones made at the moment and I need my car (and some of the things in it!)
Please pray for my continued perseverance in searching and that they do actually turn up before too long.

Just a note to say that the colonoscopy went extremely smoothly this afternoon: there was endless waiting around, but I was home around 7.30pm to eat a decent meal and drink a lot of apple juice! The event featured the shortest general anaesthetic in history (I estimate around 90 seconds!!) - samples have been taken to judge how to treat an inflamation problem, but whatever the underlying cause, it should be straightforward to treat.

So, thank you all for your prayers!

Piglet, thank you so much for this. I've been trying to work out how to frame a reply without sounding rude or ungrateful. The thing is, I've tried cathedral evensong (only twice I admit) and it really isn't my thing. The problem isn't that I don't want contact with other people; I do want it, I want to belong and feel involved, and I want to feel I'm part of what's going on. Which I'm not at my church any more. It's hard to explain. But thank you so much for the suggestion and thank you for your prayers. Everyone.

A while back I asked for prayers for Edith the Chihuahua. She didn't make it--a few days later she started having frequent seizures, and her doctor said she suspected a brain tumor.

I have an upper respiratory infection (for which I have been prescribed ginormous horse tablets) and have spent much of today in bed with waves of nausea. That has calmed down a bit now, but I'd really appreciate prayer that I can shift this cough soon. I have too much to do, at home and work, to be ill.

I know how that feels, I've got fragile teeth as well and I'm waiting for treatment for the latest fracture. Praying that both of us stay out of pain while we wait.

For Robbie, still. Latest news, from CCTV, is that on the same day he went to the Isle of Wight, he went to the Co-op in Shanklin and bought a few things which he carried away in a bag for life he had had in his pocket. This seems to indicate he had not gone away with the intention of finding a quiet place to die. But he has still been unseen since the 13th.
And for the support of his family, who must be at their wits' end.

When the ambulance came they decided Mum needed to go to A&E. This is slightly complex as it really means Mum isn't safe at home as she is delusional and Dad is not coping with it.

It may be just another urinary infection, but given that, with the last one I ended up taking both my parents to A&E, a hospital bed may be the safest place for her even so.

It might end with emergency admittance to respite care. Hope that Dad has the grace to accept that.

Please pray for our friend C. She is bipolar and has been going through a particularly bad patch over the last few months, including planning suicide. She and her husband became Christians a few months ago, and come to our church.
She has been asked to consider voluntary admission to a mental health unit and to start Lithium. She and her husband are renewing their wedding vows on the 30th, and her CPN has assured her that that won't be cancelled!.She is scared of going in, but accepts that her husband can't look after her 24/7, as it's wearing him down.

Please of your charity pray for a dear friend of ours, wife of the best man at our wedding. Ten years ago she survived an op. to remove a brain tumour, which has now shown signs of regrowth.

It isn't malignant, but they can't leave it to grow unmolested so she needs 28 days of successive radiotherapy which will probably leave her exhausted - she is 70 or thereabouts.

May the treatment be successful and the after-effects less severe than she fears.

Please pray for me - have to resign by tomorrow and panicking about it.

I know the current company have been promising more responsibility and training but not delivered. However, I also understand their position and the thought of telling my manager has literally made me sick for the past week.

I feel like I put my foot in it in a work meeting yesterday and possibly lost the support of some senior people who have been behind me until now.

I do think there was some truth to what I was saying but I probably expressed it badly.

Been feeling fairly demotivated and pointless at work for a while anyway, so now even lower.

I would be very grateful for your prayers that I haven't caused any lasting offence or damaged any relationships in the long-term, and that I can start to feel like I belong at work again.

For peace in the world, peace between individuals, and peace in every individual.

May everyone tempted or driven to violence stop, get help, and find another, better way to channel their turmoil.

May all political candidates and those around them be kept safe.

For me: Continuing resolution of my bureaucratic problems, and may everyone get along, and may there be no more flare-ups. Plus general health and upholding for me, and some private intentions.

thx.

Please pray for my friend Jock who fell and broke his hip last week just a few days before his 91st birthday, for Betty who had a stroke and fell down the stairs last week, and also for Jacques who over the past few months has had several health scares and who is now recuperating at home under the steely eye of his wife and under strict orders not to do anything. He is 89. (and bored).

Lord, have mercy.

If this is the place for prayer requests, then of your mercy please pray for Mrs Gamaliel.

She had contracted breast cancer for the second time and a mastectomy was booked for 10th August. They've now found the cancer has spread to her liver, pelvic bone and some of the bones in her back. They've cancelled the mastectomy in favour of tackling the liver first.

She's shaken but in good heart. The Gamalielettes are being cool.

We've got a week away and then the treatment starts.

My eldest son wrecked both ankles falling down stairs at work some years ago. When they healed enough for him to start moving, it was found back was also badly damaged from concrete stairs. Two major operations and a very major one later, he has been in constant severe pain. Yesterday he had an electronic deivce implanted in back. State of the art, trials showed it helped. However, he now has to recover from the implant and start what could be several weeks of tweaking settings.

Prayers appreciated by us all.

Dear friends, I seek the Prayers of the Faithful for The Anglican Communities of Our Lady and for myself: on 11th September at 2pm, in the Solemn Eucharist for our annual Feast of Title celebrations, I will be ordained by imposition of hands and invocation of the Holy Spirit into the Sacred Order of Priesthood.

The chief celebrant will be a very humble and personable bishop with a truly wicked sense of humour: +Peter Johnson. He will be assisted by clergy from our Communities, as well as those of the Ecumenical Franciscan Order, and others.

I am absolutely delighted that family and friends will be travelling both interstate and intrastate for this celebration.

Please pray for Bishop Peter, for the assisting clergy, for the choir and organist, for my family and for myself in the days ahead.

Any Ship member in Sydney who would like to be at the celebration. The address is Old St Pauls Church, 221 Old Northern Road, Castle Hill.

I am trying not to worry about this, but not being very successful.

A prayer of thanks that the perpetrators of our home burglary last month have been caught and hopefully will get more than a slap on the wrist. They had done several in our area and the police hold little hope of getting anything back.

Praying for a very mixed-up young man I used to teach, who has now got into very serious trouble with the law, and no obvious way out. He needs help, but I'm not sure who will be able to give it to him, or whether he will be willing and able to accept it. [']

For Italy, and the severe earthquake they've had, followed an hour later by a strong aftershock.

Given that the first one was a magnitude 6 point something, and the aftershock was 5 point whatever they will probably experience further aftershocks over time.

My father passed away this morning. He was home with my mother. She did CPR, and the emergency responders also worked on him for 45 minutes before giving up. I was able to get down there (about a 45 minute drive) in time to see his body and kiss his forehead (it's an Orthodox thing). My mom is of course shattered but trying to hold it together. My daughter (not Babs one of the others) and a family friend are there tonight with her. My sister is flying in tomorrow.

Prayers, thoughts, good wishes gratefully accepted.

My sincere apologies for misleading you all about the Mysore market thingy - it was a building collapse that triggered it all and they had to keep everyone away for safety reasons - the bit that collapsed cannot feasibly be repaired and has now been knocked down but the market will continue now that the rest has been checked for structural soundness.

Some foods make me sick one week but the next week don't bother me at all...
A lot of relatives on both sides of the family have died from cancer, so, naturally, I'm convinced I'm dying of it as well. Late in life, I've discovered I have quite a bit of talent as a painter and I want to pursue that but being sick constantly is not helping...

For anyone concerned, he has just posted in Kerygmania.
Hooray! [Yipee]

Many thanks to all those who have been enquiring after me! I thought I'd posted here a while ago, but clearly my memory is at fault.....

Briefly, I had a large tumour (a meningioma) completely removed on 4th May. It was non-malignant, but I suffered several nasty seizures after the op, and was in hospital for about a month. I've more or less had to relearn how to walk properly, and how to use my left hand, and I still have some minor mobility problems. At least I'm now able to walk to my local church, though my own is still out of reach (and there are other issues involving the priest-in-charge which mean I'm better off keeping away).

[Votive] for those on this thread, especially those like 5th Mary who are uncertain as to what's wrong with them.

Bishop's Finger, I will hold you in the Light if God's healing love as you recover.

Meanwhile, I am waiting to receive the results if a CT scan for a lump in.my neck. A biopsy ruled out the lymph nodes. An ultrasound was inconclusive.

I have tried not to google this, and given the number of suggestions I'm receiving from friends, I don't need to google. One well meaning person even floated the idea that it is a parasite found in bear meat!!

It has been a sad couple of days and I ask for your prayers.

On Wednesday, J, my mother's only remaining sister died. My aunt's husband had just died within this past month.
Yesterday, M, my cousin's daughter died after a long illness.
Yesterday, B, a very beloved colleague in the music association I belong to died after a long illness.

This is the part of the getting older thing that I really don't like. At all.

Offering up some thanks.

On 20 July after some heavy gardening I wasn't feeling too well and told LKKspouse I needed to go to the hospital. She called the ambulance (now why didn't I think of that?) and when it arrived I was starting to sweat, so much so it was hard to keep the electrodes in place to do an ECG. The ECG went down the mobile phone network to a cardiologist who directed the ambo to thrombolise me on the way to the hospital the cardio wanted me at. Sirens flashing and at 155kph I was being giving ?methadone and some other drugs via drip to bring my heart rate up to 50bpm. Half way there they finally succeeded and at the arriving in emergency after 28 minutes the blood clot was busted and so surgery was put off for four weeks. The ambo called in the other Sunday and said they had been trained to thrombolise for four years, but I was his first case. Well, he seemed like a seasoned professional to me.

So, thanks for the medical and paramedical system and people, medical technology, automotive technology and road system, and especially for a decisive spouse whose father had five heart attacks and knew what it was all about.

Please of your charity pray for B and M, who will become Master S's parents-in-law at the end of October. B - although only in his early sixties - has dementia, and as if that were not enough, also has blood cancer. They have just been told that nothing but palliative treatments can be given him and he has months to live - he *should* make the wedding but may not see Christmas.

I know that this may be a mercy, but it is very hard for M to see it that way, or indeed for all B's many friends and relations, including Master S. Please pray for peace for M, and blissful unawareness for B, or indeed as the Spirit moves you.

Could you also pray for L, second wife of our best man. 10 years ago she survived brain surgery on a non-malignant tumour, but now needs daily radiotherapy for a month to arrest its regrowth. Please pray for successful treatment without undue fatigue.

My friend Richard died yesterday. He and his wife Gael became friends with my parents when I was around 10, and they became our closest non-family friends.

They were swans in a duck pond in our rural-ish town in the 1970s. Richard was working on his PhD in computer science, and Gael had a collection of Masters degrees, mostly in languages and linguistics. They had spent the previous 10 years in France. My dad met Richard at the Royal Society, where Dad was the local secretary, and it was a friendship that spread out over both our families, adding a high degree of intellect to our lives, and a lot of music to theirs. We spent every Christmas morning and New Year's Eve together, went on holidays together, and celebrated every birthday. We also went to the same Anglican church, and all us kids sang in the choir. One thing we didn't share - he was an ardent Harrier all his life until he was diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago.

More recently, Richard was ordained an Anglican priest, and took his work as chaplain to seafarers very seriously, while still consulting on business process evaluation for the Government. While he was considerably more conservative than I am, he and I could talk about almost anything. He celebrated my mum's funeral, not quite a year ago, supporting me and my brother. He and Gael were the last people Mum was able to interact with - she waved them goodbye a couple of days before she died.

Fortunately, Rosie and I had seen him and Gael very recently, when we called in on a visit to my home city. He was looking well, so it was a horrible surprise to hear from Gael this morning.

My prayers for the wonderful and varied life of Richard, for his wife of 50 years, Gael, and his sons Andrew, Michael and Paul and their families.

Might I kindly ask, please, for yet another aspect of my professional training course, see earlier posts and praise thread?

The academic part of it, writing up stuff and well-reasoned too, brings up the ancient block and sheer panic. Strange. I'm absolutely able to do this, but I'm sitting here in front of my clever books and print-outs and an empty file on my screen, and am drawing a total blank... for hours, if not days! Very very weird. (I'm sure some of you know the feeling...!)

I would appreciate your prayer for God's lovingkindness in and on this, and for gentle, swift disentanglement of confused brain cells and lifting of academic fog...!

Thank you very much indeed!

He didn't. He's been away for the weekend [Mad] and hasn't been able to arrange an appraisal for his lender (we thought it was a cash offer with no conditions, which was why we accepted it), and is now saying he'll definitely pay up by Friday.

update on our unborn granddaughter:

The diagnosis changed today w/ visit to pediatric cardiologist— it is not HLHS (hydroplastic left heart syndrome) but rather a constellation of at least 6 fairly unique heart defects, some of which are similar to HLHS, some not. That's sort of a good news/bad news situation. HLHS has not a great prognosis (60% survival rate), with these 6 defects it's more of an unknown— we might have better odds, we can't really be sure. With HLHS there's more of a known path and a clear treatment path, with this we'll be seeing what happens as we go along. We're still looking at several surgeries over at least the first 5 years, including one on the 2nd day of life, but they're somewhat different surgeries than what they would be with HLHS.

Sorry, seems as though I only post here when I want something, but although I've been quiet lately I do follow and pray.
Our next-door neighbours have just told us that on a recent visit to sick relatives in Scotland they were involved in an accident, as a result of which they were left in their car for two hours while the emergency services tried to find them. The wife seems physically ok, but the husband, a cancer survivor, has a back injury (he's at home but not very mobile). The car is a write-off and of course they've suffered a fair bit of trauma due to the circumstances. If anyone can spare an extra prayer, it would be much appreciated.

Despite having only clocked up about 400 posts in the last 15 years, I love Ship of Fools. I particularly love the prayer thread. and i try to pray for the people who post here. Though prayer has become increasingly impossible recently.

Please pray for me. I've been trying to write this for the last few days and I don't know what to say. I can't explain what's wrong, partly because it's complicated, partly because it doesn't make sense, partly because if I explained it would identify me to anyone reading this who knows me in real life (as far as I know, there isn't anyone but I don't want to take the risk)

Something has happened and I feel absolutely devastated. Please pray for me if you can. God, if he exists - and I don't really know any more, will know what you're praying for.

Whatever it is, Abigail, be assured of lots of prayers from people on here. While the Almighty has been a bit selective in His response to my prayers recently*, I'm sure He's listening, and even if you think your faith isn't very strong, He'll still know it's there.

[Votive] for you and for all others in need, especially Mrs. S. and family - FWIW I think you're doing absolutely the right thing about the wedding. It may not be easy, but I'd like to think that B. will be keeping an eye on things from Heaven.

Abigail, it is fine to just put a request in such general terms. I would think many of us have been in a similar place over the years, and certainly post numbers have nothing to do with it.

I really identified with your signature line about getting older and decreasing in knowledge. Not the right thread here for me to go into it more, but I often feel that way too.

I'm not a great deal in favour of sending hugs, but you sound as if you could use some or whatever may help you.

I'm afraid this may be a rather long post, but I could use some prayer right now.

This probably wouldn't be a big deal to most of you, but to me it's pretty huge. When I was a child I had a very unpleasant and painful experience with an unfriendly, hairy fingered dentist and ever since then I've had a very real phobia of dental treatment. Through my teens I reluctantly continued regular check ups, but once I was old enough not to have to do what my parents told me, I simply stopped visiting dentists.

Fast forward [mumble mumble] years and my teeth and gums are now in such a poor state, I've finally gritted my teeth (pardon the pun) and made an appointment to see the dentist. I've been psyching myself up for this for some time and kept finding excuses not to do it, but today I finally ran out of excuses. I really had to muster all the courage I had just to walk through the door. The receptionist was very friendly and understanding when I explained my predicament.

The appointment is on Monday 7th and already I've got that slightly queasy feeling and racing heart that I used to get as a kid when I knew I had a dentists appointment coming up.
 
Posted by Abigail (# 1672) on :
 
I would welcome your continued prayers. I'm still feeling awful. Work has been exceptionally busy this week which has taken my mind off "the other thing" but as soon as I remember my stomach ties up in knots and I want to cry.

Please pray for the town of Leeton in country NSW and the Scott family in particular. Some time ago, Stephanie Scott was at the school at the weekend preparing lessons for a substitute teacher who was to take her classes while Stephanie was on her honeymoon in a few days. She was stalked by a cleaner at the school, raped, tortured, killed and her body burnt.

The town gathered closely around her family in support. Her father was retired but had been the High School principal in another nearby country town. Just three weeks ago, her killer was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Today, her dad was killed by a falling tree as he cleared land.

Instead of referring to myself as blotchy I have decided if I used the word variegated instead it would be more poetic and more positive. I actually think it is all part of the process but the way the colour varies almost minute to minute is a bit confusing.

I'm feeling absolutely terrible this morning
A mixture of
The news I had recently about something that will happen very soon, which has shocked and upset me far more than it should do.
A decison I made (which can't be changed) that I now think was probably the wrong one.
Getting older - scared of what the future is going to be like and ultimately scared of dying.
Worrying about how I will feel at Christmas. I find it hard to cope with at the best of times and this year it's going to be unbearable.
God not there any more.
No real friends, no-one to talk to. (My fault)

On the plus side, I feel better physically than at any time in the last few years, so I thank God (if he exists) for that. And for a job I like and work colleagues who are nice to me. And for a conversation I'm going to have next Thursday. Trying to pray that it will help but I don't think anyone's listening.

For comfort for betjemaniac, for the repose of the soul of Adrian Greenwood, and for the salvation of his killer.

For Daisymay.

For Tobias to ace that test. For safety for his grandmother. For healing for R. and for G.R.

For healing and safe care for Huia’s brother G.

For Ariel’s E, for healing.

For comfort and upholding for Nicole’s J and L. May D rest in peace and rise in glory.

For strength, healing, and a good experience for Spike tomorrow morning when he goes to the dentist. And Spike, this is not a trivia issue in any way - many people have a fear of dentists because of past insensitive treatment, and it does cause problems just like the ones you’re experiencing now. Dentists nowadays are usually trained not to terrorize their patients and some even specialize in treating phobic patients. It definitely affects a lot of people. For the record, the (very tough) Teledad had a fear of dentists.

For everything to be okay for Abigail, and for her to feel all right.

For the young mother known to Raptor Eye, for healing.

For upholding for Tree Bee’s E. and healing for her husband B. For sister S to reconcile with Mum Bee.

For the people of Central Italy.

For AdamPater to get through the next week and do all the things which need to be done.

For the town of Leeton, and the Scott family in particular. May Stephanie and her father rest in peace, and rise in glory.

For Goddaughter Quine to turn her behaviour around, and stay in school.

For peace for Japes’ A.

For healing for Welease Woderwick’s rash.

For the migrants believed drowned, and for all those who are running for their lives. Lord, have mercy.

I've developed a floater in one eye. Optician investigated and referred me to the hospital. Had a traumatic examination during which he tried to put a lens on my eye. (I don't even open my eyes under water or let anyone help me remove a foreign object). He wanted me to return to try again but I cancelled the appointment. Both examinations showed my retina hasn't detached. So I just need this floater to disperse and for me to get over this horrid experience. And to stop feeling bad about being such a wuss.

Also, a member of our congregation died suddenly last weekend. Please pray for the repose of the soul of Sue, and for her family. May she rest in peace, and rise in glory.

IF there are any spare prayers, there's been some sort of snafu with my work authorization renewal, that's resulted in me and my daughter being turned away from the border and "stranded" at the airport.

My cat might be dying. (I'm taking her to the vet next week, and worried about what I can afford...)

My car has a million things wrong with it.

And my dad's Alzheimer's is progressing quickly. My mom is his caretaker, and their finances would have been OK without the Alzheimer's.

Weirdly, I'm in decent shape, emotionally. I feel hopeful. But I'd still appreciate prayers for any or all of this stuff.

For everyone affected by the violence at Ohio State Univ. today. (AIUI from the news: purposely running a car into people, then stabbed a bunch of people. Latest report says 11 people went to the hospital, one of whom was seriously injured. Attacker killed by police. He was reportedly a Somali refugee, which will play into many people's fears.)

For me: Dealing with assorted unsettledness, usual health stuff, and private intentions.

A horrible fire broke out in downtown Oakland, CA, last night-- people were gathered at a warehouse/ art studio complex that had serious safety code issues, for a record label party. They are predicting about forty deaths, once rescue workers can make things safe enough to actually go in. The likelihood of survivors is slim.

As per some of our Purg discussions on the heartless real estate situation in the Bay Area, if you offer people $300 a month rent and 24 hour access to an art studio, some of them with try to live there. That seems to be the case. From the description of the building, it was clearly unfit for dwelling ( one of the issues was that the renters had to construct their own staircase to the second floor out of warehouse pallets.)

The record label has set up a Facebook thread for people trying to locate friends or family who may have attended. It is a very sad read.

I should be very grateful for some prayers about a long-running family problem.

[Votive] for C., that her inner turmoil may be calmed, that whatever is hurt may be healed, that whatever is damaged may be put right - and that she may be able to change her thinking and her behaviour for the better;

[Votive] for her family - for patience, strength, compassion, insight, and good judgement;

[Votive] for the professionals who treat C. - that they may be able to bring about some change for the better.

Thank you!

[Votive] and prayers, of course, for all the intentions here.

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

Please could you pray for my dad, who has just phoned me from his local Accident & Emergency dept, where he was sent by his GP after an ECG this afternoon showed up something-or-other. He's currently waiting to be seen (will probably be another 2+ hours from what he was saying), and my mum (who is with him) will be flapping and super-anxious. Both my sister and me are a long way away.

Thanks for prayers. Dad told me the hospital had originally wanted him to stay overnight but decided that since he didn't have chest pains and the anomoly (a slight blockage, apparently) is mild he could go home, and they are not planning on seeing him again unless he gets chest pains. So the immediate panic is over. We will be down there over the Christmas holidays, so I will see how things are then.

And I am about to offer to miss my family Christmas in order to host my friend and his mother, who is a very difficult woman who hates me, so they have a day in a nicer place than she has made their home. I will need a tremendous amount of support to do this. I have seen her prove that Carabosse and Eris were phenomena that the people who heard those stories knew about. At the very least I shall have to spend the day with TV that I wouldn't choose to watch (because I am a Guardian reader and think I'm too good to watch the soaps like everyone else).
The whole idea was originally terrifying, but I am coming to feel that it is what I am supposed to do.

Thank you to all who prayed for my job interview. I was very calm, felt well prepared and felt I came across well, which was great for my confidence (as it was a big difference from my previous couple of interviews!). As it happens, I didn't get the job, but I did get some very constructive feedback (again, unlike the last two), my current boss said nice things about them missing a trick not appointing me, and I'm not too disappointed. Am probably going back to Plan A (which, as it involves freelancing, will probably require prayers next year!!).

That the cat in the box which is my friend's mother's decision about coming to me on Christmas Day collapses its wave function one way or the other soon. My sister needs to know if I am going over to her on Saturday or not. I need to know if I need to buy any more stuff - I've already got a teeny tiny turkey and veggies I might not need, because the shops are collapsing their supplies at an accelerated rate.
She has said no, but she has form for changing her mind at the last minute, and in this case may not realise the last minute is not Christmas morning. Nor late Christmas Eve. Nor early Christmas Eve. My friend has read signs that she may be going to do this.

Yup. Latest I heard is that Carrie Fisher, who became very ill on a plane (possibly a heart attack), is in an LA hospital, and stable.

May the Force be with her. (And all the company of Heaven.)

The brother of an acquaintance of mine has been in a serious accident - he was hit by a train, and is in a critical condition in hospital. His sister, the girl I know, saw the accident.

[Votive] for everyone involved: R., and his sister and family; the train driver, witnesses, medical people.

Lord, have mercy.

Christmas is always a difficult time for me. Some are better than others. This year feels particularly bad. It's not just about Christmas particularly but Christmas makes it feel worse. I can't get rid of the feelings of panic and hopelessness that well up when I think of the future.

All the (few) people in my life I could trust and/or talk to are no longer around. I've never had a real friend. Church isn't working. God has gone away. I'm getting older. I'm frightened of dying.

In the hope of becoming more involved in my church again I've agreed to do something I don't really want to do and don't think I'm capable of. And if I say I'm not going to do it I'm going to let everyone down as well as cut myself off even more.

Other Christmases when I've felt bad it's been a matter of getting through it and waiting to feel better but this year so much has changed I can't see any hope of ever feeling better.

We won't get the outcome of the case I was in court with this week until January. This is ok because nobody wanted the outcome to be given the day before Christmas Eve.

To give some context - I'm a children's social worker. When I go to court, it's almost always to say that I think a child or children would suffer massive harm should they remain with their birth parents. We then ask the court for what we think is the least worst option - in the UK, the typical least worst options are a child living with an extended family member or foster care or adoption. Even when I think foster care or adoption is the least worst option for the child or children (as in this case), I know that that will still involve enormous, devastating amounts of loss and pain to the child or children concerned. Hence, my request for prayers that God's will be done and that all involved can come to some level of peace and healing whatever the outcome is.

Thank you.

Tor Tobias' friend and her brother,
for Zoey's clients' case,
for Abigail and her task.

And for the old lady I met on my way back from buying back my Missa Luba record from Oxfam who insisted on telling me how miserable and lonely she was. It turned out she had been brought over from her flat in Surrey to have Christmas with her brother, who had gone to fetch his MiL, so practical help wasn't needed. (I had almost started calculating food and chairs.) She helps in a Cancer charity shop, and has various activities through normal weeks, but can't make friends. She said 'I'm a moaner' - she was, and may be pushing people away by topping their depression stories. She doesn't read or listen to audiobooks (I recommended 'William', 'Jennings' and Wodehouse) and seemed determined to be miserable. She said she had always been waited on by her mother, and couldn't cook, so there may be more to her story than just being miserable.
So, for her brother, as well.

I have seen a doctor in the past and I have been precribed anti-depressants which heled a lot. I don't really want to go down that route again but I might have to if I feel it's the only way.

Having said that, after a dreadful Christmas Day, I've been feeling better today. A long walk helped (and with no return of my lower back pain!!) As did a chance meeting with someone who used to go to my church but hasn't been for a long time because she didn't like a lot of the things I don't like there. I probably shouldn't be pleased about that but it made me feel less alone.
 
Posted by Penny S (# 14768) on :
 
That sounds like the sort of thing that seems to get arranged for my friend when he isn't feeling good. He'll go out and find that he bumps into some who needs his help, or something that shifts his mood.
I rather like it when that sort of thing happens.

Last time I got depressed, I ended up talking to someone for three sessions, which turned out to be enough to shift things. (Father died, sister rowed, nasty neighbour was nasty.)No pills that time.

And I had to pull out of being Treasurer to our Meeting. I'd taken it on because they were really short of people, and I thought it wouldn't be too hard. Until I couldn't find a difference in the system - worked at it for ages, and then had to resign. It was accepted graciously, and the person who took over found the problem. Would your church take that attitude?

No she hasn't - and has turned the story round. Pray for me not to get into panic mode so easily, as well as for them to ... whatever God has in mind for them as a good resolution. Soon.

I found myself watching 'Prince Caspian' last night and wondered just what Aslan was up to allowing first the White Witch and then the Telmarines to treat the Narnians so badly for ages before sending in the Pevensies.

This may not be the proper place to post this and if it isn't, I offer a hundred apologies to the Ship's whipcrackers.

I have an eating disorder. Both of my deceased parents were alcoholics and my sisters and I have struggled with alcohol and other things. However, for me, it's been sugar. I crave sugar like a maniac.My craving is complicated by my Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Intellectually I know that sugar is bad for me and is making my diabetes worse but no amount of praying for help was working...until a few days ago when I asked God to take away my craving by ANY means...

I have to laugh at this...tonight I was eating some chocolate and my mouth started to tingle, itch, and then burn. I finished my chocolate and coconut candy bar and wondered what was going on. Later, I tried to have a piece of chewy fruit candy--and the burn and itch was worse. I think I'm developing an allergy to candy!

I don't know what to think. Part of me is thinking this is genius, on God's end. But then I am horrified. Could this be prayer answered? And if it is, what does that mean?

Hmmm...cheese IS a protein...perhaps it's time to eat more of that! Thanks for the prayers! Mouth is still feeling the effects of the other day. I think I'm not going near any sweets for a good long bit.

My little six year old grand niece (Neph's niece) has been struggling for two weeks with a bad flu that has been making her asthma kick up. It has developed into bronchial pneumonia.

She just moved to Indiana this year, so on top of all that this is her first encounter with deep Midwestern cold. Anyway, please pray for the healing of Violett and the peace of her frantic mother, Jenny. [Votive]

I'll be needing support tomorrow again for a second visit for New Year's Eve, which somehow has been organised instead of taking my friend's mother to a local park from which the London fireworks can be seen. I did point out that the journey to return them, with the extra traffic, was a bit much at 70 and probably 3 o'clock, but that's what's going to happen. Fortunately I hadn't returned my home to its normal state, but chairs need moving about, and extra cooking done.

She has gone off me since last week, thinking I am plotting to bring social services to bear on her.
