Ecosophia Prayer List Week of January 9, 2023

[tunesmyth]

(NOTE: This is an old version of the list. All new prayer requests should be left at the most recent Prayer List post, which can be found here)

Here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared at ecosophia.net and ecosophia.dreamwidth.org, as well as in the comments of the prayer list posts. Please feel free to add any or all of the requests to your own prayers.

***I'd like to highlight the upcoming brain surgery on 1/18 of an anonymous 2 year old boy and the upcoming surgery on 1/19 of SP in Connecticut, who is going to have a (hopefully) benign growth removed from her gastrointestinal tract.***

If I missed anybody, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom you hold power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below.

If you are someone who is getting prayed for, status updates are appreciated but not required!

I will occasionally, at my discretion, remove someone from the list. Of course do feel free to continue to pray on the behalf of people from previous weeks if you feel it appropriate.

If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.

Now, here is the current list.

[lp9]

I feel that it's a real benefit to my mental health when I avoid the Covid threads and offer prayers for those mentioned in this one instead. Thank you again!

[tunesmyth]

Happy to be of help, LP9!

[open_space]

You are not alone on that. I stopped reading a lot of it months ago. I realized my anxiety was rooted in me not feeling I was doing enough. This helps tons with that, and much more that we can do it together!

[yuccaglauca]

Prayers are praying prayers. (Just a note to let you know that these posts are indeed being followed and acted on, and your work is appreciated.)

[tunesmyth]

Pray tell! (It took me about 30 seconds to parse your sentence, but I got there eventually.) Thank you very much, Yuccaglauca.

Good News!

[otter_girl]

Just want to report that Trevor is doing MUCH better than predicted. The papers to move him from the ICU to a less intense area are submitted. They are just waiting for a bed to free up.

I attribute this directly to prayers sent. Thank you Tunesmyth, and thank you fellow pray-ers!

OtterGirl/Valerie

Re: Good News!

[tunesmyth]

Excellent news! I, and I'm sure many others, will keep the prayers going. I know you must have a lot happening right now, but do feel free to keep us posted!

Re: Good News!

[otter_girl]

Thank you, Tunesmyth! He's going in for surgery tomorrow afternoon to reposition his right shoulder. His nurse and one of his doctors tell me he is doing very well. Almost off the oxygen! Whoo Hoo!

OtterGirl/Valerie

[prayergardens]

Thank you again Tunesmyth. I'm with you on all your posts even if I don't comment on each one.

[tunesmyth]

Thank you so much, Prayergardens, I truly appreciate it.

[otter_girl]

Just want to say "Ditto That."

OtterGirl/Valerie

Trevor Recovering

[otter_girl]

Just want to say Trevor came through surgery well, and is out of the ICU and onto the main floor. Still has Covid status, so I can’t visit yet, but all of his nurses and doctors have gone above and beyond for both of us.

I’m certain the kindness and prayers of this growing community made, and continue to make, a huge positive difference.

May you all be blessed!

OtterGirl/Valerie

Re: Trevor Recovering

[tunesmyth]

I'm so glad to hear this, Valerie! Do you know how many days it will be until you can see him again?

Trevor Update - January 14

[otter_girl]

Just a quick update: Trevor is doing well enough for the hospital to begin making plans to transfer him to an acute rehab facility early next week to get his legs strengthened and his shoulders likewise. He is off oxygen, and recovering well from the covid.

I was all set to see him on the 18th, as that will be the magic 10 days since his official covid diagnosis. But, I tested positive for covid yesterday, and am now home with what feels like a mild/moderate flu.

Thanks all for your prayers! We are grateful.

OtterGirl

Re: Trevor Update - January 14

[tunesmyth]

Thanks again for the update, Valerie.

"to get his legs straightened"-- ouch, that sounds like a pretty bad break. I'm glad he's getting the care he needs.

Now it's your turn to be Covid positive! That's crazy. What an ordeal! May your karma get a big boost of balance from all of this.

Pat Ormsby doing much better

[sinners4diseasecontrol]

Dear Quin,

I've just printed out the list, which I will recite during my noontime prayer today (Sunday).

I have not experienced any arrhythmia for a few weeks now and only minor episodes of brain fog, which I am dealing with. I have probably successfully adjusted to the new EMR environment (addition of commercial services from the Starlink satellites).

To keep the list from getting too long, you ought to take me off it, and if I have any crises, I'll let you know.
The prayers of everyone participating have helped me a lot.

Thank you all!

Re: Pat Ormsby doing much better

[tunesmyth]

Hi Pat,

I'm so glad your condition is getting better. I'll take your name off the list starting from the next week's update, but please don't hesitate to come back on if the need or desire arises.

[stcathalexandria]

Thank you for pulling this together. Just completed the prayers to all this morning.

[tunesmyth]

Thank you so much for joining in, Stcathalexandria.

[temporaryreality]

I so appreciate that you’re doing this. It helps me keep track of who to pray for during my devotions and has given me a chance to practice the MOE technique.

[tunesmyth]

I'm really happy you're making good use of it!

[open_space]

Thank you for this, Tunesmyth!

Can I ask how do you handle the group prayers? Do you go name by name in a single prayer or a full prayer per person?

[tunesmyth]

Personally, I do them all as a single prayer. I usually light a candle and let it burn out naturally once my prayer is done. But, your mileage may vary, and I encourage you to do it whatever way feels right to you!

[open_space]

I like that! I will come up with something of my own then.

This is super cool. Thanks again!

[jprussell]

Thank you for putting these together, you're doing a real service for the community and setting a wonderful example.

[tunesmyth]

It's such a simple thing, now that I'm doing it I'm rather surprised nobody else seems to have done it before! Anyway, though, thank you Jeff, I appreciate the appreciation.
