Ecosophia Prayer List, Week of April 4
Apr. 4th, 2023 01:14 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
(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.
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 a relevant person holds power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below.
SOME GUIDELINES
When making a prayer request, it helps out a lot if you can be specific about what you would like people to pray for on your behalf. Most helpful of all is if you can write the wording of your prayer request yourself, in the third person. See the prayer list below for many examples of how to word prayers. That said, if you don't do this, I will endeavor to craft the wording of your prayer in the spirit of your wishes.
If you are someone who has made a prayer request, status updates are appreciated but not required!
There is no limit to how long someone may remain on the list, but as a general rule (with exceptions at my own discretion), I will remove entries from the list after four weeks unless the prayer requester "re-ups" the prayer request.
There are no limitations to what you may request prayers for, provided that it is on behalf of yourself, a personal acquaintance, or a group or place to which you are personally connected; and that consent for prayers has been obtained from the relevant parties. Also, I want to make clear that there is no "purity test" for who is included on the list. Of course anyone may pick and choose who to pray for. My own philosophy is that regardless of our own faults and merits, we are all of us beings who can use a little divine help sometimes; it is up to the divine, and not us, to decide which prayers will be answered.
It probably goes without saying, but I will reject any prayer requests that fall outside what I consider to be the bounds of moral responsibility. (This has not yet happened.)

This week I would like to bring special attention to a few prayer requests.
Patricia Mathew's friend Al (Alison Kulp) is in the hospital with a nasty life-threatening MRSA infection; please play for her to be blessed, protected, and completely healed as soon as is possible.
For Det and his recently deceased friend, that the divine grant them both spiritual protection, blessing and ease on their respective journeys.
2 year old ES, John (Mr. Beekeeper, Beekeeper in Vermont's husband), and Praesepe all recently had lifesaving surgeries and are recuperating; for them to be blessed, protected, and healed to the utmost that is possible.
Luke Dodson's friend B, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and is still in serious condition though she's already had surgery; for blessing, protection, healing, and a full return to health.
Lp9's request on behalf of their hometown, East Palestine Ohio, for the safety and welfare of their people and all living beings in the area. The details coming out are still caught in the fog of war (Lp9 gives a short update here, and says "things are a bit... murky"), and various claims of catastrophe and non-catastrophe are flying about, but the reasonable possibility seems to exist that this is an environmental disaster on par with the worst America has ever seen. At any rate, it is clearly having a devastating impact on the local area, and prayers are certainly warranted.
* * *
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.

I am happy to report that A has recovered from his complicated bacterial infection. I am sure that prayers and alternative medicine have done the trick.
Thank you to all who prayed for him.
I continue to read the list an offer my prayers.

Date: 2023-04-07 01:33 am (UTC)I would like to request a prayer for Nicky's husband's Uncle D. who is transitioning from this world from cancer and is currently on hospice. Also for his wife who is his primary caretaker; she is mentally and physically exhausted.
I'd also like to request prayers for Nicole; she has currently been doing some ancestral healing work which has activated some indigestion and heartburn, related to generational trauma patterns of deprivation and neglect.
Many thanks!

Date: 2023-04-09 07:34 am (UTC)We just got word from Kompira: this year's koshukai will be on-line like last year's. They'll have the course ready some time in the fall after the Taisai. Have they been keeping in contact with you? I might just jump in the jalopy and go for a spin out your way this year. My electrosensitivity has improved to the point where I can start considering this again.
I get bouts of it off and on, as it seems to take the body a long time to release sequestered oxalates, and every time they are mobilized they affect the nerves.
How is your father doing? And how is your girl?

Date: 2023-04-09 12:42 pm (UTC)(Pat, I'm replying here on purpose rather than directly to your comment as, if it's okay, I'd like to ask you to edit your comment to remove my daughter's name from public view.)
I did get the letter from Kompira, though perhaps a little later than you as I hadn't gotten around to informing them of my new address yet. I'm so happy that your electrosensitivity has gotten so much better, and I would be delighted to have you over whenever it's convenient!
We're actually considering the possibility that my daughter's condition might be being made worse by electrosensitivity-- energy workers have noted that it seems that the normal energies centered at a person's head seem to be dispersed in a much larger sphere than normal, so we think she may be making contact with everything around her more easily, including electrical offenders like Wi-fi and smartphones. We're actually getting an old fashioned cable internet installed into the house, which will go only into my music room, and the wi-fi in the house, when we choose to turn it on, will only have its source from a small transmitter hooked up to that line. May I ask you, which affects you more strongly, 3G from smartphones or wi-fi? I know that the dread 5G is the devil's work and the next time I get a new phone I'll try to choose one that allows me to set it to 3G, if such a thing is possible. Given our current workflow in the house, my wife orders organic groceries by mail regularly and, since it's in the midst of childcare, she does it with one hand on her phone. I guess if necessary we'll find a way to adjust our system...
My father found a medication that works to keep him mobile that doesn't have incapacitating side effects (like the first one he tried), and he's doing yoga again. He fell in love with yoga in retirement and even trained for a certification and became a part time yoga instructor-- but not really since Covid, since he mainly taught in nursing homes. and certainly not since the arrhythmia started. So he's active again, and is somewhat close to his old self in appearance, but doesn't have quite the same vitality. Divination suggests it's best to keep him on the prayer list, so I do.
My daughter has been having a tough time of it lately. I think part of it is that she's consciously realizing more and more that she can't move when the paralysis times come. And unfortunately, very often when she's feeling so stressed, one of her three-day paralysis periods on one side will suddenly become another three-day period on the other side. Not only that, but she's no longer accepting being carried around on our backs any more during these periods, so when I'm not around (and I work most days) it's a bit difficult for my wife to do anything at all except care for her at these times. One very good development, though, is that we've discovered, close enough for us to go, a wonderful-seeming nursery/kindergarten for special needs kids that bases its methods on Rudolph Steiner's ideas both about education and special needs care. There's only six spots in the school, but we've managed to get a place. Let's put it this way: every day begins with parents doing a bit of biodynamic farming with the children in front of the school. Then parents part ways as the children have their feet submerged in hot water. It sounds heavenly! I think that's going to be very good for my daughter, and will finally give my wife a break-- or just the ability to do a little bit of housework-- as she's been really imprisoned by this situation for the last couple of years, as I suppose is likely often the case at first with many special needs children.
My biggest quandary right now is medical. We've now gotten the official pronouncement of Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, and so the doctor wants to give medication, which is taken I forget how many times daily, which is supposed to help to suppress the paralytic symptoms. "Side effects are rare" but they certainly exist, and as we all know, sometimes there are side effects which aren't so obvious, if only in changing one's perceptions in an unnatural way. My wife and I are generally against medical intervention, especially if it involves being hooked to a medication more or less indefinitely. The reason I am considering it is that not only it has the possibility of sparing my daughter a lot of hardship; it might also allow her to finally learn how to walk, at this pivotal time in her physical development, which has been heavily slowed due to her constant paralysis.
Anyway, that's the current situation, and I share it here both with you and anyone else who is reading.

Date: 2023-04-12 04:29 pm (UTC)Normally I don't put much trust in doctors—my health is a wreck due to them!—but my divinations have been consistent on seeing the process through, and so we are.
We're still under heavy cursing, and we're navigating it the best we can. Personally, I'm exhausted, though I'm taking steps to reduce my responsibilities so I can keep up. My wife has regained her health and strength and the children are doing great. We continue to be very thankful for your prayers.
