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 2024)
Please keep a lady called Karen in your prayers. She is home after a lengthy hospital stay. Her particular needs are for specialist carers, her catheter to stop blocking, and the great need to put on weight again 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 straight to her heart. Karen has had severe M.E. for many years and also has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. She has weakened since catching Covid.
Please 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 August 25th 2024
HOPE
Hope is spiritual oxygen. Without it, we can shrivel up and be unable to function. Yet false hope can be a torturous experience. Our certainty once again is in Christ: certain salvation and certain hope of Paradise in the world to come. He is the ‘reason for the hope that is in you,’ 1 Peter 3 v.15.
Opening prayer ‘Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.’ Romans 8 v.25
Hymn All my hope on God is founded

Recent prayer requests Our charity will now pray for several M.E. sufferers who have contacted us in the last month, often globally. Please continue to pray for healing for Christine and her family, Keren and her husband Rowan. Also for Sharon that she’s not sectioned and doesn’t go to hospital; that she has better access to communicate with her GP surgery and a better GP; that her neighbours are quieter and that she gets a PA along with housing support and personal care.
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 and disabling catarrhal problems. Also, a serious skin issue.
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 and the unkind media reports; also, 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 sign the petition to change the book Kumar and Clark’s Clinical Medicine, which has unkind and unscientific teaching about ME/CFS: https://www.change.org/p/me-cfs-changing-the-definition
Prayer for each other and anyone else who comes to mind Give thanks that John’s operation for prostate cancer went well this month. We won’t know how successful it was until a scan booked in September but he is feeling better. Also for Catherine’s colitis which has gone on for 19 years now. We give thanks for God’s strength through it all. Please continue to pray for peaceful neighbours around us.
We give thanks that John has an art exhibition coming up and has recently sold a second piece on Saatchi online. The proceeds go to the Grace Charity for M.E.
