Emergency prayer request Please pray for Karen in Sussex. She has been in hospital for over two years. 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 Graceprayers (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

Karen (in Surrey, updated January 2026)
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 the care agency to provide reliable specialist long-term 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.

Graceprayers February 8th 2026
How do you find the hand of God?
In Minnie Haskins’ poem about facing the New Year, she writes “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” But how do we find the hand of God? In Scripture, it seems as if God is the one doing most of the reaching out to us, with His hand. We need to be willing to find it and somehow the two hands will grasp together, much like Peter the disciple reaching out to find Jesus’ hand, when he was drowning in the Sea of Galilee.
Opening prayer I pray to the Lord and hold all things to the Light of Christ; all fears; all doubts; all worries; all hurts; I hold them up for blessing and restoration. Amen. Prayer by Linda Crowhurst from ‘May We All Be Blessed’.
Hymn O the deep deep love of Jesus sung by Hymns of Grace O The Deep, Deep Love (Hymn 159)
Scripture readings Isaiah 41 vv. 8 -16 The Helper of Israel ‘I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’; Exodus 13 v.3 God brought Israel out of Egypt by His mighty hand.
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. Currently, Karen has a very high temperature and pulse from infections. Karen is due to have a Hickman Line put in. Please pray this procedure goes well and that she goes home with the right kind of help. Here is 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. Also, for Savannah in hospital, that she gets the right treatment.

Please also 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 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.

Scripture readings Matthew 14 vv.22-43 Jesus reaching out His hand to grab hold of drowning Peter.

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 Government involvement to directly challenge Elsevier over their disinformation of this book.
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 one year. Praise God. Please pray also for Catherine’s colitis. Thank God for a recent respite although it’s returned. Please continue to pray for peaceful neighbours around us.
Hymn Amazing Grace AMAZING GRACE (Lyrics) – SUSAN BOYLE
The Blessing
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night.
And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East.
Minnie Louise Haskins
