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 take 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. Currently, we can only offer a one-off prayer for new contacts, as we are overwhelmed with prayer requests. However, if you feel you could do with more one-off prayers, then do contact us again!
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. We will need your postal address for this as we like to send out prayer cards with their names.
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
Please keep a lady called Karen in your prayers. We haven’t heard for awhile how she is but the last we heard was that she was hospitalised and in great need of putting on weight. She also requested prayer that she would not get an infection 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.

LINDA
…
This Graceprayers we will focus on praying for Linda who has had severe M.E. for 27 years, currently with very severe M.E. Linda has many symptoms but we will pray specifically for the paralysis and noise sensitivity.
…
Open in prayer Dear Lord, as we remember Linda today, we also remember all those with M.E. who cry out to you for relief. We thank you for hearing every prayer and that you work for good in all things. Please descend now on all those in despair, giving them your peace and healing touch. Amen.
We will now pray a prayer that Linda herself wrote for others but use it for her:
God our Father, May Your Love transform the life of Linda, May all goodness flow to Linda , May all healing be received powerfully, May Linda feel Your mercy today. Amen

Prayer for those who persecute M.E. sufferers If you feel able to, please pray for people in the medical profession, government and individual people known to you who are negatively affecting M.E. sufferers. There are many ways to pray for them: one way might be to hold a cross in your hand and say specific names or just to generalise.
….
Recent prayer requests Our charity will now pray for several M.E. sufferers who have contacted us in the last month, often globally. We also pray for Keren and Rowan; for energy to deal with moving and a decent place to move into – somewhere flat and accessible, ideally an adapted bungalow. Keren has severe M.E.; please pray for her healing. Likewise, please pray for Sharon who would also like a detached, adapted bungalow in a non-polluted area; that her neighbours are quieter and that she gets a good PA with housing support and personal care. Also, please pray that she is protected from going to hospital and ultimately that Sharon and Keren are healed from M.E.
Please also continue to pray for Linda, who is the focus of our service today and her husband Greg. We praise God that jets flying over their home has eased: please continue to pray that it doesn’t deteriorate again as Linda has extreme noise sensitivity which triggers paralysis. They are also enduring other environmental noise. Please pray that the Lord will heal her from the noise sensitivity also from severe chemical sensitivity, paralysis and disabling catarrhal problems. Thank you.
We pray for Jacqui, asking God for a positive breakthrough for her this year, including her symptoms of POTS and general severe pain. She has had long-term severe M.E. We give thanks that a reasonably quiet neighbour has moved in above her but we pray that this would continue to be the case long-term. Please pray for peace, strength and healing in Jacqui’s life.

Persistent prayers This is when we pray for a number of M.E. sufferers on an ongoing basis who seem to need a deeper level of persistent prayer for the circumstances in their lives.

In spite of their suffering, Linda and Greg reach out to the M.E. community in very powerful ways, through prayer, books, guidance for carers and campaigning. God is using them enormously but let’s pray they both have relief from the burden of illness with all its impact. Linda’s life has set her on a relationship with God that few can relate to as her illness has forced her to be so intimately reliant on God second by second. www.stonebird.co.uk
‘In most moments of every day I am unable to pray with words at all, so I cannot gain the comfort of their familiarity and protection. The formality of prayer is gone. I have instead learned to see God innerly in a pure energy form, using inner spiritual eyes that merely look, seek, lift me up to see God within me. ‘ Book of Prayers by Linda.
