prayer chain

[jamiept]

I thought maybe this might be a good idea. I find I don't always have time to go back through all the threads to read and I really want to keep everyone in my prayers. So... I though we might start a prayer chain and you could just leave a post with the name and story if you so chose of those you would like to have on the prayer chain. Just an idea...

Please keep my sister in your prayers. Thanks!

She is bipolar and newly married. She called the other night stating that she was not in a "good place". Not close enough to go be with her as she deals with mind, marriage, and health issues.

[knzus]

I can just see this thread being as popular as Granny's "Days of our Scraps" -- what a great idea to keep it all in one spot and make it easy to add to my daily prayer journal! *pats Jamie on the back for the idea* :D

Will keep your sis in prayers, Jamie!

[mh51]

What an original idea Jamie... well don.

My uncle died on Wednesday (84yrs). He was married to my Dad's only sister.
Please keep his family in your prayers. Many thanks.
Mary

[*eng*]

What a wonderful idea, This will definitely be well used and well read.
I didn't see this until I had responded to your post Jamie on 'About Jazz's daughter'.
Could you please pray for my sister whose husband walked out after what she thought were 21 happy years of marriage and is finding life very hard. Also for my 21 year old son who has been off sick since August and may always be dependent on me. Thank you my friends x

[nanwu]

I have a special friend who is more like a daughter and her 8year old son has to go in for open heart surgery so please add this family to the prayer list Thank you

[Jenna's mommy]

What a neat idee, for all of you my prayers are with you God bless all of you.

[Winnie49]

Jamie! great idea!
I have to say that my husband's brother(39) is bipolar too , he isnot married but leave by himself close to our house it very hard when he isnot ok, he have this ill since he was 24
all of yours in my prayers!

Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold
Telling our secrets that have never been told
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to our "puters" and to those we can trust
Even though it sounds crazy....the truth still remains
Most of my "friends" have no faces ....and odd little names

I found this little poem and just had to share it. This is a great idea and it does not matter what you believe in, just believe that we are here for each other and that is what our prayer's are about .........wishing each other love, healing, safety, and much happyness in your lives........xoxo

[makeyesup]

Great idea. It is so hard to read everything and especially if you miss a day or too in coming on. Can never seem to catch up. I try to add 'everyone that needs someone or something' to the end of my prayer list. We are all God's children and all know someone who needs that little extra.

[pkdoll]

What a nice idea! Now we can come to one place to send our thoughts and prayers. Smile--love that poem, it is sooo true!!

[fourfoxes]

Thanks for doing this Jamie. What a great idea!

Prayers are always with you Mary. You are blessed and so sorry to hear this xo.

[fourfoxes]

Sorry to hear about your Uncle, Irene. Prayers and blessings to you and your family.

[OnieRN]

Jamie, thank you for this wonderful idea! We did need something that could help us to identify those who are in need of prayer!

Your jumping right in here and we love that! Welcome again to our family!

[wolvsie35]

I don't know how I missed this thread..But I agree this is a great idea...Jamie, Mary, Eng and everyone else....I have added you to our nightly prayers here at home...((HUGS))

[Marion]

Same here!

[MaggieMae]

This is a wonderful idea - prayers will be going out for everyone.

[jamiept]

After reading the thread about Linda/Chad,although this was before I came to SBM, I think she needs to be added to our prayers!

[lila2002]

great idea

please am asking for prayers for a good friend of my stepmum ( who died from cancer of the pancreas that spread to her lungs )
she is in the final stages of her battle with bowel cancer ( wich also now spread to her lungs)
so requesting a special prayer that she will pass peacefully.
she is not a believer of God ( neither am i )
but i am a believer of prayer in all its forms

and a special prayer for my little girls best friends mother.
she got the 'clear' from breastcancer last december, when after Chemo they operated to take out the last bit.
but is now undergoing radiaton for 3 months ( untill march)
to make sure she is all clear
her girl is only 6 months older than my girl ( she will be 6 in May!!)
so pray that she will be 'all clear' and it will never come back!


thank you

and me i am praying for all here
every nite
take care
and all the best

[jamiept]

prayers going out to all those mentioned above!
Just wanted to add a friend of mine's daughter who is in her mid 20s with 2 little children, they think she has MS.

Thank you everyone!

[Marion]

How is your sister Jamiept?

[jamiept]

she's hanging in there. Her husband has been kicked out of rehab, alcohol rehab. In there she found out some things about him that she did not know and some lies that he fooled her with. He is playing on her insecurities right now, but she isn't doing anything rash, just sitting back and letting it play out a little.
Thanks so much for asking!

[mandijane55]

Adding everyone who needs it to my thoughts and prayers

And being humbled that I or my family don't need to be on anyone's list at the moment....but if there's room for a little one, then just say thank you for that......

Hey, all. My niece, Shelly082274, is new on here but they just had to put her son, Devon, in the hospital this morning. Her whole family had been sick with a bad case of the flu for a couple weeks now. Devon was still coughing very badly and yesterday started complaining that his rib hurt so bad he couldn't stand up straight. They took him to the DR this AM and admitted him for Pnuemonia and pleurisy. (spelling?) He's just turned 11 this month. Poor thing. They all need your prayers. At least his grandma is retired and can stay with him.

[wolvsie35]

I am so sorry Shelly...I hope he gets better soon..You will be in our prayers...((HUGS))

[O2BNGdHope]

Devon is not improving and they moved him this evening to Morgantown, WV's Medical Center. Being a university hospital, they have newer equipment and tests that they don't have in the local hospital. They said one lung is full of puss and the other full of fluid and he's not getting enough oxygen. His white blood cell count is way too high. He really needs your prayers. Shelly is staying with him leaving 4 other children home alone with Dad. They all need prayers.

[rosana brito]

Oh! Idea Exelente Jamie, always we are worried really here about all, and would be good if it had a line specifies for this, I agree fully “ congrats super idea
I feel for its sister, and the uncle of the Mary,

Melanie-I am so sorry that your neice and her family have to go through this!! They are in my thoughts and prayers!! Hope that they can find what is going on and get him on the road to recovery!!! Praying for you!

[O2BNGdHope]

More bad news tonight. They had to do surgery today to do a biopsy and to remove the puss from the one lung. They put a drain tube into his back but the puss is so thick it's not draining. They did the biopsy (I think that's the right word) so they could remove some of the absess because they don't know what's wrong with him and will have to "grow a culture" to fight it with. it will take 4 days to grow this culture and then I guess they use medicine on it to see what works on it? Or maybe the culture was what they were going to use to make the medicine itself. Mom wasn't sure when she called. (Mom is just healing after her own ordeal and now she has a bacteria called clostridium dificile. It's very contagious and very bad so she's still not doing well herself and can't be there with Devon and the family.) Please, Please! Continue to keep them in your prayers!

[angelwithin]

my prayers are with everyone in need xxx

My heavens! Please tell them they are in our prayers and to stay strong!

We are all praying hard

[jamiept]

Been gone a little while, life is a little hectic at present. Just learned that my grandmother, 92, is in the hospital. She helped raise my sister and I when my father passed away. My sister was 10 months old and I was 5. So... grandma has an extra special place in my heart! Hope to be back in the threads soon! Can't wait to see what's happening everywhere!

[fourfoxes]

Praying for you during this difficult time Jamie!

[crops2dawn]

WOW How did I miss this!!! What a terrific idea!!! Now we can keep a close eye on just one thread... my thoughts and prayers are with you all!!!

[fourfoxes]

Could you please keep my niece in your prayers. She is pregnant and due March 26. She's 39 so it's a high risk pregnancy. Her blood pressure is very high and they are checking to make sure the baby is not in distress. Thanks for listening!

An update to Shelly's son, Devon. He was to come home yesterday. I assume that happened but I haven't heard yet today. They took care of the pneumonia and lung problem but he developed a severe staff infection while there and will have to have IV's at home for the next 3 weeks. Shelly and her husband have used up all their time off from work so Grandparents are taking turns with him. Home health will come as needed and he is getting home schooling to try to keep him from falling behind and being left behind for a year. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

[CrystalInMinn]

Please add Granny and her Brother and family for health and healing to the prayer chain. The Story is on this thread...

update
thanx for the prayers for my moms friend
she passed peacefully and suffered no pain right up to the end.

new prayers needed

my cousin gave birth to a lovely little girl with downs. she has three holes in her heart (?) and they are moving her to another hospital tomorrow. shes got fluids in her tiny lungs.
poor little thing. and we dont know how she will go.
during pregnancy doctors told my cousin the baby wouldnt make it.

and more special prayers for my niece. she is 16 and diagnosed with anorexia.
my heart just broke when i heard this
i am so hoping she will get better.

thank you all

am keeping the prayers going for all here!!

Continued Prayers for all on the prayer chain. Studies have shown that it does actually help. :) Peace to all :)

[fourfoxes]

Girls, do you remember the little one we lost back in December? Her name was Lily (see the thread below).

https://www.scrapbookmax.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8480&page=3

Well, anyway, her parents (my husband's nephew and wife) are pregnant again. Please pray that this pregnancy goes well. They have already lost 2 babies within this past year. Little Lily was born too early and stayed with us for 4 short months before she went home to the Lord. This time mommy is going to be stitched at 14 weeks and then will have to be on bed rest for most of the pregnancy. Her due date is in October.

Please God let this one be all right.

[lila2002]

Oh my i missed that.
sweet lily little angel

saying a special prayer for your nephew and niece.
it is so hard to want a child and then only to loose them.
i know what it is to want to have a family and not be able to.
praying that the pregnancy will go super and that they will be holding their baby around due date. save and sound!!


ofcourse always praying for all that need it

[lila2002]

my cousins little girl, with downs syndrome, has been moved to another hospital and is now undergoing tests and will be under observation for 48 hours.
she need operation to make it possible for her to drink ( being tube-fed now) and maybe an operation on her tiny little heart.
poor thing
please pray that if they operate every thing will go well.

thank you

[pkdoll]

So sad to hear all this that people have to endure. My prayers will continue for as long as it takes! Please know that everyone is here in my thoughts daily. Bless you all!

Don't ever want to miss anyone here that needs prayers. So I've added the generic request to God to hold all my SBM friends and their familes and friends near his heart. I know he always does what is best for us even though sometimes we cannot understand. My prayers are always to ask him to help me accept what ever he feels is best.

[O2BNGdHope]

Just thought I'd add Granny in here. Talked to her Sun. and she was going to the emergency room. Thought she might have pneumonia. They gave her 4 shots and some medicine and sent her home but I know she's feeling pretty tough. I'm sure she won't mind if we add her to our prayer list. Praying you feel better soon, Granny!! We can't pick on you when you're sick. Well....we could but it wouldn't be very nice. ;)

Granny hope you get better soon, and my prayers is going out for you.

This prayer chain was such a wonderful idea..I know that the prayers from SBM have power in them..and prayer is the most important and wonderful thing we can do for anyone..I am adding my grandson Josh's name to this list..he is not a bad boy..he just got hooked on pain pills and now is hooked on methedone..it has been so hard on him since he lost his mom..he found her and it has about driven him crazy...he will hardly leave that old house..he says she is there and he talks to her..I have him here and he is going to try and detox...I am so afraid for him and we need the Lords help to make it thru this..I know this is dangerous and I am going on the internet to try and find some answers on what to do..so please please pray for him..about the drugs and about his mothers death..he needs to find some peace and grieve normally..and pray for me that I will know what to do to help him..and pray for poor chase who has to put up with both of us...
thanks all of you..I love you lots

[jazzieal]

Granny and Wolvies hope the both of you are feeling much much better..forgive me for not keeping up with things better..you know my love, thoughts and prayers are with you..
love ya

[pkdoll]

OHHHH! Jazz such sad news again. I am praying that you can make a difference in Josh. To lose your mom like that is not easy for anyone, and especially with him being so close to her. I am glad that you got him out of the house-but this is not going to be easy, and no one knows that better than you! My prayers are going out to you!!
