Question on the prayer list

[aglarien]

Before I post this week - what would you think about my deleting some of the old entries that I haven't had an update on? The list is so huge I know no one reads the whole thing every week, so I get few requests to change or update things. I'm seriously thinking of simply removing a lot of the old requests and getting the list down to something more manageable again.

Anyone object if I do that?

I have no objections; however, I would still like prayers for my daughter and granddaughter please :)

My friend is in a better position at work. Her manager looks set to retire soon - it's a maybe but it could happen. Her manager has been having lots of sick time and is not dong her job well. The people there have noticed and no one is prepared to cover up for her anymore, which puts my friend in quite a good light. She could probably come off the list now.

I hope you are keeping well.

*Hugs*

Oh, Binky, I am so glad to hear that! I think about her all the time, believe it or not. I now how miserable a bad work situation can make things. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep her on too. Wasn't thinking of ones like that as much as some real oldies I have - like from years ago with no update, you know? Thank you/1

I don't mind at all :) It's probably for the best - the Trust I work for is quite volatile and not always fair.

I'll admit I don't read the older part of the list any more, and don't think anyone would mind you streamlining it and bringing it more up to date. Maybe some mention of being mindful of all those who in the past have come to this place asking for prayers?

Talking of which, you can take me off because I'm one year clear now (feel I should whisper that, just in case).

I love that you do this, Agie. Thank you.

Thank you, Kei! In the end I found it very hard to change a lot. *sigh* I added a line for people with no one to pray for them and past people on the list - great idea.

I would not object at all. I do read the list when I'm on but if you need to make it more manageable then go right ahead

*hugs*

Thank you. In the end I found it hard to remove people and just did a few.

I think that would be nice - it's easier to follow and more incentive to look in for updates. And if anyone still wants to keep their older prayer concerns on there, I'm sure they'd tell you.

You can erase my brother, dear. Thank you for having him.

And I agree that few people would read the list to the end. I would trim the list to something that everyone can read and pray for each week.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks, Agie.

You can remove my older ones although I'd appreciate it if you'd leave my best friend's mother as her health is deteriorating and this is very hard on the family. I don't think she has much longer. The situation hasn't changed with my godmother and my cousin Vera but they needn't be kept on. Thanks for maintaining the list. :)

Done! Thank you. In the end I found it hard to remove people and just did a few.

I think that is a good thought, Agie. You can take my mom off for the moment - she is doing well currently. **fingers crossed**

I do read the list every week, but I admit to skimming the older portions.

I would like my nephew left on, if I can. Emily and Damietta are...doing okay. But I certainly don't mind a little pruning if others don't!

*hugs you a lot*

No objections.

For rolypoly_laurie, you could probably remove that particular request. She has gone through lots over the past two years. I don't know if you know, but she got a divorce, moved away, and tried to piece her life back together. She has lost a lot of weight, and doesn't mention that extreme pain she used to have. If you keep her on, you could ask for continued prayers for her well-being and peace of mind.

Thank you, M'dear! :)

Thank you, Urs. I appreciate the update. It's good to hear she's getting her life back together. We all deserve a second chance.

You're welcome, Love, and yes, we all deserve a second, and sometimes third chance. :)
