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.
For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. – Matthew 18:20 NIV

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)
Karen (updated February 2022)
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 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.
Please pray for Keren’s family as they have recently suffered a close bereavement.
Juliet
Please pray for Juliet who has extreme Electro Sensitivity. She needs somewhere safe, warm and free of wifi immediately from early January 2023. Juliet needs to avoid wifi and 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 March 12th 2023
Eternal Life
How appropriate for this to be the chosen theme for Graceprayers, as we’ve heard only this week that our trustee David Laker passed away unexpectedly. We will remember him and his family in prayer. As we focus on Lent, Holy Week and Easter, let us remember that death, as painful and horrible as it is, has been conquered by Christ and that through Him we have the wonderful gift of eternal life.
Open in prayer I feel the grief of the mother sorrowing, crying, her firstborn son hangs on the cross dying. I feel the joy of Easter morn, uplifting rejoicing, the cold tomb empty. He is risen. Living. Amen. By Geri Laker 2006

Scripture readings: John 3 v.16 – 17 ‘For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.’
John 4 v.13 & 14 The account of the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus tells her of eternal life, like a spring of never-ending water.
Genesis 3 v.21- 24 The Tree of Life couldn’t be approached once death had entered the world. After death is destroyed (Revelation 21 v.4), then we can eat from the Tree of Life for eternity (Revelation 22).
Emergency prayer requests We continue to pray for Jacqui, asking that she knows God’s love and care. Her circumstances have been especially bad lately. Please pray for healing of her symptoms of POTS and severe pain, from both M.E. and other abdominal pain. The new neighbour above her has been noisy and an additional new neighbour will move into the flats. Jacqui longs to move elsewhere where it is quiet. Please pray for peace, strength and healing in Jacqui’s life; a quiet place 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.
Recent prayer requests Our charity will now pray for several M.E. sufferers who have contacted us in the last month, often globally. Give thanks that Christine is out of hospital after many months of being there. Please pray for her healing and for her family; also for good medical support.
We praise God that Keren and Rowan have found a new quiet, rural home! Keren has severe M.E. and Rowan is unwell too. Please pray for their healing, especially exhaustion from the move. Please pray for Sharon who would like a detached bungalow in a non-polluted area; that her neighbours are quieter and that she gets a PA along with housing support, personal care and a good new GP. 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 and Greg. Please pray for quiet neighbours and that jets cease flying over their home. Please continue to pray that Linda doesn’t deteriorate again, as she 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. Thank you.

Scripture reading 1 Corinthians 15 v.35 -58 The Resurrection Body
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 biomedical M.E.: for their safety, protection and continuing of their valuable work without hindrance. Please especially pray for Dr. Sarah Myhill and the unkind recent media reports; also, that she can expose the prejudice of the GMC towards her. Please also pray that the World Health Organisation’s entry of M.E. is kept as neurological and not transferred to mental health in the forthcoming reprint. Also, if you feel able to, pray for those who persecute M.E. sufferers, that they would come to accept the truth. Praise God that the NICE Guidelines have omitted CBT and GET as cures from their new guidance. Please pray that the Royal Colleges fail with their desire to promote exercise for M.E. sufferers.
Prayer for each other and anyone else who comes to mind Please pray for Monica Laker and Rob and Matt due to the recent death of our trustee David Laker; his passing was unexpected. Also for John’s health, especially wisdom for decisions regarding his heart and for Catherine’s colitis which has gone on for 18 years now. We give thanks for God’s strength through it all. Please pray that good will flourish from Catherine ‘s mother’s case for the benefit of the vulnerable www.thegracecharityforme.org/hazel-and-the-lcp Please also pray for peaceful neighbours around us. Thank you. Please pray that John sells more art work, the proceeds of which go to the Grace Charity for M.E. (We are grateful that he sold a painting recently through Saatchi online.)
