I need prayer for a few things but only if people have time for it

1) since my aunty went into hospital on thursday i havent been able to sleep at all. the wednesday night i stayed over i was awake all night, but i think i did manage to get at least 2-3 hours sleep. but the thursday morning (later when i was still awake) i was officially up and about at 5:15am cause we had to leave early to get to the hospital by 7am. i wasnt able to sleep at all after she went into surgery i was so over tired i didnt sleep until 2am friday morning and then was up at 8:30am and since then i havent been able to sleep at all...maybe a couple of hours a night and i need at least 10 hours sleep to function properly. but of a night time i have been crying my eyes out, like i am having a mental break down or someone has died kind of cry...but its about nothing or something very small, like my hair is too knotty or i accidently gently knocked my hand on something or bump my head in the slightest which doesnt hurt but comes up with a bump...just very small things i wouldnt cry over. or if a sad song comes on the radio i cry. i dont know why this is happening....it has nothing to do with my auntys surgery...it is clearly because my body clock was changed and now i cant sleep and because im so tired i cry and get crabby, just like a little kid does...except i cant get to sleep...ive even tried crying myself to sleep...didnt work i just need proper sleep, not max of 4-5 hours. my eyes are very heavy yet i cannot rest. i have been praying over this but all i do is cry....its almost as if im grieving for someones loss or my own, or feeling someones emotions...either that or my own unconciousness emotions are getting the better of me.

2) my church is going through a really rough time at the moment. it is only 4 weeks before our pastor and his family leave. i was in the office doing the newsletter today and the pastor was in his office cleaning out his stuff. it really hit home that this was really happening and he was really leaving. i dont think i have actually come to terms with it yet...but i dont really want to deal with it...i dont want to believe this is really happening...i just want it to be a bad dream and that everything will be ok.

thank you everyone who prays for me, i really appreciate it. much love and many blessings,

Hi sweet girl! Warm up a glass of milk..bundle up under your blanket and drink it nice and slow. Close your eyes and relax honey. The Lord will sing you a beautiful lullaby and will give you the peacefull sleep you need. Believe He will honey..He's right there with you and feels the anxiety your feeling. He wants you to let it go and rely on His strength...just let go and trust He will give you that sweet restful sleep you desire.

I'm praying for you honey..I love you so much and miss you too...
Sleep well... I know you will.
I love you!!
Love, Mum

often times when I am unable to sleep, I resolve to think that God wants me awake for something. So I begin to pray for whatever and whomever comes to mind. I pray until I fall asleep. Don't let your mind wander or worry, if you start to wander pray about whatever it is you are thinking about, of course, worrying needs to be prayed about as well. I always end up falling asleep without notice.

I believe God wanted prayer sent up for someone...... and asked me to do it.

Hugs,
Miche

Dear Pinky, sent you a comment and you know I am praying for you. There must be a reason for all of this and if you can find a good doc to maybe treat depression/sleep disorders, that would help. Love you, Spare Mum

The Lord doesn't want you to worry over all that is happening. Praying for your aunt, the pastor and especially for you.

Pinky .. I hope you won't be reading this post because of being fast asleep..

and just incase your'e not.. there's good advice in the previous posts!
pray and then curl up in your Father's arms.. in peace and love..

May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart!

thank you for the advice Mum, Miche, Spare Mum 2, freedom and HeIsFaithfull.

i know why im feeling so sad and tired, its because my body clock was changed and it now cant get back to normal...but the feelings of all this sadness and feeling so broken and alone is not normal. i do feel so depressed of a night time. i cant control the emotions i feel and i cant even control the tears...they just get so wild after midnight which happened again last night. i wasnt able to get much sleep...but i did get some. i prayed at church today and i put a prayer request on my care card so the leadership team and anyone else who pray can pray for me as well.

I know i have to pray for someone cause i get the impression that God is showing me what they are feeling...but i dont know who it is...although i could be wrong...

Went to church today...church was very tense and emotional....the pastor finishes in 4 weeks and his wife lead for the last time today and she got upset....i tried my very hardest not to cry at all today at church....i was feeling homesick and missing my mum....also i felt broken again like i did last night. after church one of the people who have been causing all this trouble said to me that he allowed too much petty and small things build up and felt really bad because he only realised this week that what he did was wrong...this man is around 70-80 years old but he said he wont learn from his mistakes....so i dont know how all this is going to turn out. everything is a mess because of what this man and a few others did...i dont hold it against him...but he said he really regretted telling the pastor he didnt want him here and he didnt realise that it would come to this. the church has split up, alot of people feel like they cant come anymore, and everything is a mess. i said to the man, is there anything we can do or is it too late? he couldnt really answer that so i am going to send the pastor an email about it and see what he thinks. i believe there is a high chance that the pastor wont have to leave, but its a matter of convincing him and a few other people. i decided today that i will help out in the admin and treasurer roles as much as i can on my days off from uni, havent told that to pastor yet but people are stepping down from the leadership team and soon we will be left with noone. i feel that i need to get the church back together and if i just stand there and do nothing i cant keep still...i feel hopeless and im really restless. this whole thing could be what is making me so upset and depressed/crying bbecause i havent actually dealt with it and come to terms that the pastor is leaving...he is the best thing that has happened to this church and im not letting him walk away...not without a fight.

i will stop blabbing away now lol. but thank you all for your prayers....i really do appreciate them

Pinky, remember what I told you what I saw when I was in prayer for your church. Do you see the clues?

yes i do spare mum 1. the pastor was meaning to talk to me about it today but he had to get to launceston by a certain time which is an hour and a half away so hes going to contact me during the week and arrange a date this week to discuss it. i dont think he needs to go anyways, but i thank God for your vision and i truely believe that that is what God will allow to happen...and allow the pastor and his family to stay. I love you heaps spare mum

I agree

Seeing someone as sweet, caring, and happy as you in so much distress gives me a horrible feeling in my stomache. When you are grieving and not sure why it sometimes can make you feel like your going crazy and alone. Take heart in knowing we are all here for you lifting you up to the lord and praying for your relief. I have a really good feeling that once you find peaceful sleep all of this will become clear.

Maybe lighting candles in the bathroom, taking a nice tub, and curling up in the lords lap (reading his words) will help you to relax, (it has yet to fail me). Trust in the lord completely, he has a plan and you seem to be a very big part of it.

Keep smiling. your light hearted silliness is such a breath of fresh air and a great way to face this crazy world.

thanks Angelmae.

i get my results on wednesday, so please keep me in your prayers over this that i will pass

thanks and God bless

Precious Pinky, you are in my prayers.
When you lie down at night, let this word smooth your pillow.

"When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." Proverbs 3:24

You have a sweet temperment, sweet love and may you have sweet sleep and awake refreshed and renewed in the the morning. I pray that you will be blessed and rest in our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I pray that you will have His peace that passes all understanding.

Hugs,
CQ1

thank you CQ1. the verse was encouraging and refreshing, thank you again.

i have been praying also for this forum, because i feel i need to help bring peace to everyone yet they are ignoring my posts that i have written. either that or they really have taken into account and to heart what i said and are applying it. im not sure. but at the moment i feel like i am a peacemaker. ive been told by a few people that i am. but i am certainly praying for this forum and for healing as well.

im sitting patiently on the edge of my seat trying not to be impatient and go mentally insane waiting for my results lol. i just hope i pass so i dont have to do a complete career change.
