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.

Karen (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.

Who is the Holy Spirit?
The church has just celebrated Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit. Yet the Holy Spirit was around since the beginning of the creation (Genesis 1 v. 2) and is seen as acting throughout the Old Testament. At Pentecost, God gave us an outpouring of the Holy Spirit unlike any other time. The Holy Spirit was given after Jesus ascended into heaven so we would not be alone. He is the 3rd person of the Trinity, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit and is equal to the Father and the Son. He feels emotion (Ephesians 4 v.30; Hebrews 10 v.29) . The Spirit’s purpose is to comfort, guide (into all truth), convict, advocate, counsel and intercede. He is with us forever. He lives with us and is in us. He teaches us ‘all things’. He prophesies (John 16 v.13) . He glorifies Jesus. He reveals and discloses knowledge (John 16 v.15). He produces fruit within us and gives gifts to unite Christians.
Open in prayer Come Holy Spirit, Come, Come in power, Come in might, Touch and heal us, protect and comfort us, Renew and strengthen us, All in the power of your love. Amen. From ‘Unstoppable Spirit’ by Linda and Greg Crowhurst Holyway Home

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.
Also 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 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 healing of her symptoms of POTS and severe pain, from both M.E. and other abdominal pain. Please pray for quiet neighbours in the flats where she lives. Please also pray for peace, strength and healing in Jacqui’s life; a quiet place to live and 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. Tomorrow, June 16th, will bring about the long-awaited Kumar and Clark ‘s Clinical Medicine, awaiting their updated version of ME/CFS. Whatever the result, we know that God is Truth and He will continue to fight for justice and hear the cries of the afflicted.

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 a yearly MRI scan. 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.
