This prayer page serves a double purpose.
Firstly, are you an M.E. sufferer?
Would you like to receive prayer?
Secondly, would you like to pray for someone who has M.E?
(You can do this if you do or don’t have M.E.)
Receiving Prayer
If you are an M.E. sufferer and would like to receive prayer, 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 our next Grace Charity prayer meeting; we aim to have meetings monthly. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:20 NIV translation
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!
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV translation
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. Include your postal address for this as we like to send out prayer cards.
We are thrilled to hear that prayers for both Karina Hansen (Denmark) and Mirjam Knapp (Germany) have been answered: both have been released from hospital sectioning, and are happily returned home!
We give thanks that Dr. Nigel Speight has had all charges against him dropped and his case closed by the GMC, as from 14 July 2017. He has been completely vindicated, and has no restrictions!
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.
Once per month we pray for M.E. sufferers and their carers. This is known as Grace Prayers.
Please join in from afar for this service. All Grace Prayers are on Sundays at 3pm.
Future services will continue on May 14th (M.E. Awareness Week), June 18, and July 9th.

GRACEPRAYERS July 9th
The name of Jesus
The name of Jesus Christ seems to be accepted in society as a swear word, even in films rated ‘U’. Yet, the name of Jesus is SO powerful and hallowed. Let us spend this Graceprayers revering the name of Jesus and dwelling on scriptures about His precious name.
Open in prayer Think of something to thank God for
Hymn How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Scripture Readings
Philippians 2 v. 9 -11 ‘Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ‘
John 16 v.24 ‘Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.’
Luke 1 v.30 -33 (The angel Gabriel tells Mary the name of her future son.)
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 focus again this Graceprayers on Sharon, a severe M.E. sufferer in England, who is enduring overwhelming distress from neighbour noise, both day and night. Please pray that the noise will stop and that Sharon won’t be tested beyond what she can bear; also that a positive resolution will happen very soon. Sharon would like to move to a quieter flat. Also, please pray that she is protected from going to hospital. Sharon also needs night care desperately.
Please also continue to pray for Linda and Greg in England, that jets would stop their flying practice over their home. This has eased a bit but is still happening. They are also enduring other environmental noise. Linda is ultra noise sensitive from the M.E. Please pray that the Lord will heal her from this distressing symptom and also paralysis. Thank you.
We add Jacqui in England to our prayers, asking God for a positive breakthrough for her this year. She has had long-term severe M.E.
Hymn Jesus name above all names
Jesus name above all names, beautiful Saviour, glorious Lord,
Emmanuel, God is with us, blessed Redeemer, living Word (by Naida Hearn)
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.
Prayer for M.E. researchers and doctors 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 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 (due 2018).
Prayer for each other and anyone else who comes to mind Please pray for the trustees of the Grace Charity for M.E. : for David as he recovers from a shoulder operation; also for John ‘s health and for Catherine’s colitis which has gone on for over 12 years now. We give thanks for God’s strength through it all.
Please also pray for quiet neighbours around us. Thank you.
Hymn At the name of Jesus
Blessing
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord lift up His countenance
Upon you and give you peace.
