Praying through for all. On my morning walk I saw a palm tree at the edge of the village, flashing in the morning sun. The unexpected that always catches us unawares.
Our country may be facing food shortages in six months' time, according to a customs expert in my network, and not on a minor scale. It is terrifyingly plausible and I fervently hope he is wrong and/or this disaster may be averted.
I volunteered to do a Zoom-play-for-charity thing and the Telemum got agitated because of course she hasn't worked for a couple of years now, and the opportunity is so near and yet so far. Her eyesight is still too bad to read, and she remains stubbornly computer-illiterate, so IDK how to help, but...
Thanks be, I got a job in my current department (where I'd rather stay) until the end of September only. Rate of pay is appropriate to my station, hooray.
Four people have now read my thesis, and none of them says anything about it ever. It's like putting them in the witness protection program. I've got to move this forward.
A very good friend who has fallen into the grasp of the purveyors of right wing conspiracy theories, and looks like losing their real friends either by dropping them themself for being crypto-communists, or being dropped by said friends for having crossed an un-negotiable line. Possibly also losing employment.
For me, to make the right decisions, not just in dealing directly with said friend, but in going beyond that.
@OriginalScooby, you have been quiet recently. How are things going?
Hi Robert.
Thanks for asking. I've not been very well. The issues I'm having with the flat above are continuing 24/7. The police have said they will attend if it is bad at night, but because they don't have any power of enforcement, the best way forward is to keep reporting it to the Housing Association and pester them like mad to do something.
I've prayed through the list by name for everyone and now I'm going to put some earplugs in and go and try to get some rest.
I will have a procedure on Tuesday afternoon, which the pain specialist (whom I have yet to meet) believes will relieve the sporadic agony in my left leg. Prayers that it works would be greatly appreciated.
For my friend, very low today, having not slept and dwelling on the false witness issue again. Feeling, since they behave as if they have the high religious ground, very anti-God. Until now in his life, he has felt protected, felt God's care, but now feels abandoned. And I cannot find anything to say to help.
The good news is I start the new post on Wednesday, and there might be a good long contract in it for me if I don't screw up.
The bad news is the Telemum got scratched by Problem Cat yesterday AGAIN. Through her bandage. But didn't want to bother the district nurses to unwrap and check it. Wouldn't this just be the perfect week for her to go into hospital with raging sepsis? [externally screaming]

And for J who is probably very glad to be finally free from the constraints of being indoors.
Such a force of nature.
Will be so sadly missed.
Praying for all🕯

🕯Prayers for all above
🕯Prayers for the cure to be found so that covid 19 will be a thing of the past.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.

@Telepath, it is good to hear from you! (Would a tablet device on which texts could be enlarged be too complicated for the Telemum?)

Best wishes to all.
I need to make a decision under pressure. I am praying for guidance. In five minutes, I will act; may my decision be the right one.
<votive> For all in need
Given how my health is lately and the ongoing situation with the noise from the flat above, please don't worry if I'm ever not online for a few days.
Stay safe and well folks.

For others who live in the areas affected
Wisdom for those who carry any authority
Perhaps prayers for good solid rain.

For @Penny S's friend, and all who feel abandoned by God.
For Rossweisse.
Prayers continuing to ascend, especially for your friend, and for Ross's procedure on Tuesday.
And thanks for the continuing prayers.

For E's mother.
I've got a couple of new job applications in, of which one in particular I think would suit me really well, so if anyone has a spare prayer ...
Prayers continuing to ascend for all in need.
