  • Praying for all here and especially now for Lamb Chopped's sister and all who love her and care for her.

    Praying for all. 🕯

    May I ask for prayers for my friend, T. She has various things wrong with her body, which are partly to do with hypermobility, and are not fully understood by the doctors, because it is not how hypermobility normally presents. The bones in her lower back aren't properly connected, and it is very difficult for her to walk, and she experiences a lot of pain. She has had this condition for several years (she is in her 30s) and it seems be be getting worse. She is a very positive, cheery, strong person, but it is hard for her.

    Lifting up those who post here and those who feel unable to post.

    Please could you pray for a Nen family situation which has been going on for some weeks. We need resolution soon, for the wellbeing of all concerned...
  • 🕯 Prayers for all above.
  • Amen and Amen.

    Jesu, mercy. Mary, pray.

    So much awfulness, and the lengthening nights don't help....which is not the non sequitur it might appear, alas.

  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    My sister is thinking of refusing further treatment though her doctor disagrees. Pray for wisdom and mercy?
    That's a very personal decision. Prayers for wisdom and clear thinking ascending.

  • Have just seen a CofS Facebook post quoting Asia Bibi's lawyers saying that she has left Pakistan for an unknown destination. Please pray that this is true and not fake news. Until now she has not been released.
  • It now turns out she is released but not out of the country, which makes things very dangerous, for more than just her. Please keep praying.

    Prayers continuing.

    Edited to add: could I ask for your prayers for our Bishop, D., and for the soul of his wife J., who died last night? Thank you.

    Rest eternal grant unto her, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her.
  • For my friend S, please, and for her father R.

    Her mother died about six months ago. Now her father is ill, and feeling on death's door. This is complicated by the fact that father and daughter on oppositee sides of the country.

    Prayers for all shipmates and the matters on their hearts.

  • A small thing, but mine own.....please God, grant skill to the BT engineer currently investigating the Palace landline, that said landline may be speedily restored.

    And <votive> for all intentions on this thread.
  • That was quick! The Palace landline is restored....

  • finelinefineline Kerygmania Host, 8th Day Host
    That's great, BF. :smile:

    I am praying through all the needs mentioned here, and for any unspoken needs.

    I would like to ask for prayers for my friend's daughter, S. She is in her 40s, has a young son, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer several months ago. She had the lump removed, is cancer free, but tests showed a high risk of the cancer returning, so she now is having several courses of chemo, and will then have radiotherapy. It seems positive, but of course the chemo is draining, she has been told she needs to be off work for a year, and so I am praying for her to keep her spirits up, and for her mum who worries a lot about her, for her son, for them to get through this without feeling too overwhelmed.

    What is it with cancer these days? :cry:
  • Awhile ago I posted a request for prayers for my daughter searching for an apartment and having very little time to find one. I am happy to report she managed to pull it off! Thanks to all who prayed.

  • Thanks for the suggestion BF, I will keep it in mind.

    For Christians in Pakistan. For Assia Bibi in particular.

    And repeating what Raptor Eye said: Lord, reveal yourself to those who persecute your people in ignorance, as you revealed yourself to Paul. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.

    For Sister Chopped. Lord have mercy. For wisdom and mercy and skill and compassion.

    For fineline’s T. and for S., for healing and good spirits and upholding for her, her mother and her son.

    For resolution for the Nen family.

    For Bishop D., and the soul of his wife J.

    For ThunderBunk’s S, for healing, and for S’s daughter.

    For Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

    For those affected by the fires in California.

    For the repose of the soul of Sisto Malaspina.

    In thanks for the speedy restoration of the Palace landline.

    2nding Piglet. Stupid bastard cancer.

    In thanks for NicoleMR’s daughter’s finding an apartment!

    For Cousin Dearheart, there may be cancer cells elsewhere in her body that weren’t detected before? There BETTER NOT BE. And the cancer she has (if not secondary) is still considered terminal but it BETTER NOT BE TERMINAL, as it’s rare she could be the first person to survive it, right? For upholding for R., I and K.

    For K and T, for their job situation.

    For M., G. and J.

    Please pray for my cousin S. and her husband B., and my second cousins J. and M. Second cousin R., who was two days older than me, died of a massive heart attack with no warning of any kind. S. is devastated, as are R.’s brother and sister who did everything together, all their lives. He leaves behind his wife S. and their son J. My happiest childhood memories are the ones that include R. and although I was not in touch with him for decades, I’m stunned at the idea of living in a world that does not have him in it. Lord, have mercy.

    Update: the instability has for the most part stopped. Pain under control, morphine is down to 1 dose a day (yay!) The wound is asymptotically closer to healing than it was before, which is the first actual progress in half a year (if you discount that it was getting steadily worse during that half year). Problem Cat is not coughing. I am getting on with my work, however belatedly. Your prayers are essential to the success of all these processes and I am most grateful to you.

    I am a little worried about the Telemum as she is cold in a hot house, again. She is receiving IV antibiotics every day so there is probably no point in either worrying or taking action… but… she’s alive and healing today because I am an anxious helicopter, so please Lord make sure there is nothing to worry about.

    At a checkup this week, the doctor said “this is going to take a LOOOOONG time to heal”. Which was not a surprise, but it didn’t necessarily cheer her up either. How about it takes a short time to heal?

    Prayers ascending for all in need, especially Telepath's family.

    Glad to hear your daughter found a place, Nicole!

  • Okay so I was jubilant because the nurse said the wound was progressing towards healing. Finally!!!

    Then my mother revealed an ulcer on the OTHER leg that she has been hiding for two months.

    great
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host

  • Prayers Dormouse. Both my parents had them and I remember their comments.
  • Just heard from my mother. My sister isn't eating and drinking hardly at all, and has been admitted to the hospital with a possible intestinal blockage (a common endgame for ovarian cancer). She is set to go on hospice tomorrow, and my mother is wondering whether I need to come out there earlier than planned (end of this week).
  • bassobasso Shipmate
    Oh, LC. It was an intestinal blockage that finally did for my wife. So sorry to hear about your sister.
