Emergency prayer request Please pray that Health Secretary Wes Streeting is successful in persuading Elsevier to improve their description of ME/CFS in their medical textbook Kumar & Clark’s Clinical Medicine. https://www.change.org/p/me-cfs-changing-the-definition
Emergency prayer request Please pray for Karen in Sussex. She has been in hospital for over a year and a half. The hospital has recently told Karen that they are taking legal action against her. Karen is extremely ill with very severe M.E. Please pray that the hospital drops the legal case against her. Also, that Karen is assessed at the hospital to have TPN at her home (Total Parental Nutrition) which is what she wants. Also, please pray for strength, healing, protection and wisdom for her and her family. Thank you.
We are in need of more people to pray for M.E. sufferers, especially as our trustee David Laker has passed away. David did much of the praying. Please contact us if you’d like to pray.
.
Are you an M.E. sufferer who would like prayer?
If so, please contact us at info@thegracecharityforme.org We would like to know how long you’ve had M.E. for and what specifically you’d like prayer for e.g. pain relief, better mobility etc. We will then pray for you at the next Grace Prayers (below) which takes place each month. If your prayer request is an emergency, let us know this so we can get others to pray for you as soon as possible.
Please let us know how you are after we’ve prayed for you.
For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. – Matthew 18:20 NIV
Praying for others
If you would like to pray for M.E. sufferers, contact us at info@thegracecharityforme.org and we will send you one or two names of sufferers who want prayer. If you like, we can send out prayer cards to you with names of sufferers on.
Privacy assurance: The Grace Charity for M.E. will only use email and postal addresses for the purpose of the prayer cards and these details will not be given out for any other reason.
Holyway by Greg and Linda Crowhurst www.holyway.co.uk is a creative site full of prayers and spiritual writings. Linda has profoundly severe M.E. and Greg is her husband and carer. Linda has a blog at Holy Way (holywayjournal.blogspot.com) Linda and Greg have kindly allowed a recent book to be downloaded for free: Prayers For Healing, Hope and Miracles (holyway.co.uk)
Karen (in Surrey, updated January 2025)
Please keep a lady called Karen in your prayers. Karen has been unable to eat and drink for over 30 years. She has TPN at home (Total Parental Nutrition) which is IV feeding going straight into the bloodstream. Her particular needs are for specialist carers, her catheter to stop blocking and the great need to put on weight because a drug which previously helped has been stopped. Karen also requests prayer that she would not get an infection or blockage in her PICC line which is a tube going to her heart. Karen has had severe M.E. for many years, suffers very severe pain and also has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. She has weakened since catching Covid.
Please also pray for Karen’s family as they have their own health struggles.
Juliet
Please pray for Juliet who has extreme Electro Sensitivity. Recently, a new 5G transmitter has been installed near her door causing her agony. She needs somewhere safe, warm and free of wifi. Juliet needs to avoid all wifi, 4G & 5G, including smartphones. Please pray for her healing and more permanent, satisfactory accommodation. Thank you.
Janet
Please pray for Janet, for healing of her pain, relief of isolation and loneliness. Also, for better, more understanding carers. Thank you.

Harvest
Churches are celebrating Harvest Festivals about now. The word Harvest is derived from the Old English word hoerfest, originally German, meaning autumn and the time when food was gathered in from the land. Church bells would ring out every day during harvest to tell the reapers when work was to begin or end in the fields. The Pilgrims took the harvest celebration from the Old World to the New, known as Thanksgiving. Let us give thanks for anything in our lives, e.g. a person. If this is not possible, then let us thank God for who He is, faithful and loving. Alternatively, perhaps meditate on the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ i.e. love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Opening prayer Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou has given us, for all the pains and insults which thou has borne for us, O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother, may we know thee more clearly, love thee more dearly and follow thee more nearly, for thine own sake. Amen. (Saint Richard of Chichester, 1197 -1253)

Emergency prayer requests
Please continue to pray for Karen Gordon, a young woman with severe M.E. in hospital who is being deprived adequate hydration and nutrition. Please pray she goes home with the right kind of help and sign her family’s petition:
Karen’s situation has worsened since the hospital’s recent decisions. Please pray for a miraculous intervention, so she can get Parenteral Nutrition and IV hydration at her home (PN is nutrition going into her veins); also, that the family aren’t taken to court by the hospital involved.
Please also pray for Carla Naoum, a severe and vulnerable M.E. sufferer, who was sectioned last year. Please pray that Carla’s parents win their appeal to release her from being sectioned. Carla is being force-fed and in great pain.
Recent prayer requests Please continue to pray for the health of Linda and Greg: for quiet neighbours and that jets cease flying over their home. Linda has extreme noise sensitivity which triggers paralysis. Please pray that the Lord will heal Linda from the noise sensitivity, severe chemical sensitivity, paralysis, migraines, disabling catarrhal problems. Also, for healing of Linda’s eye and hands and that she doesn’t need a further operation.
We continue to pray for Jacqui, asking that she knows God’s love and care. Please pray for a new quiet place for Jacqui to live and the strength for her to go through a move; healing of her symptoms of POTS and Graves’ Disease; also severe pain, from both M.E. and other abdominal pain. Please also pray for peace, strength and healing in Jacqui’s life; also, good carers and GP for her. Please also pray for Sue, a severe M.E. sufferer, who has been badly treated by her local council. She is afraid of eviction so please pray she stays where she is and is protected from harm. Thank you.

Persistent prayers This is when we pray for a number of M.E. sufferers on an ongoing basis who need a deeper level of persistent prayer for the circumstances in their lives.
Prayer for M.E. researchers, doctors and M.E. politics Please pray for all M.E. researchers and doctors who bravely work towards the truth of M.E.: for their safety, protection and continuing of their valuable work without hindrance. Please especially pray for Dr. Sarah Myhill, that she can expose the prejudice of the GMC towards her. Give thanks that the World Health Organisation’s entry of M.E. is still being kept as neurological. Please pray that fibromyalgia is better classified by the WHO. Also, pray for those who persecute M.E. sufferers, that they would come to accept the truth.
Please pray for guidance as to what to do next regarding Elsevier’s medical textbook Kumar and Clark, which places M.E. sufferers at risk. The Grace Charity for M.E. led a petition for its change. https://www.change.org/p/me-cfs-changing-the-definition Please pray for more changes in this book, so that medical students can treat M.E. sufferers safely. Also, prayers are welcome for Wes Streeting (The Health Secretary) to directly challenge Elsevier over their disinformation of this book. He has been contacted to intervene.
Prayer for each other and anyone else who comes to mind Give thanks that John has had a good report about the prostate cancer. For the time being, he only needs an MRI scan in 2 years. Praise God. Please pray also for Catherine’s colitis which has gone on for over 20 years now. We give thanks for God’s strength through it all. Please continue to pray for peaceful neighbours around us.
Hymn We plough the fields and scatter We Plough The Fields and Scatter (Cover) – YouTube All Saints Church Northampton
Blessing Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3 vv17-18
