Dear Lord God,
My mother is in the hospital right now, it's about 8 days now. She is in Tacloban City and I am here in Manila with my family. She is taken cared of by my younger sister Sheila, a single-parent with asthma. My mother suffered with high blood pressure and high sugar making her bed ridden for 8 days now causing another complication like pneumonia. She is 70 years old but with the last exchange of words we had several weeks ago insinuates her willingness to live longer. This I say my Lord please bless her and cast-away her sickness that she may rise on her feet again and be with us on her 71st birthday come December 20. Dear Lord, please shower her more strength.
I also pray for my sister Sheila not to give-up on my mother, to have more faith, and to have more strength as well. Please Lord, enlighten also my other siblings in the province to set-aside personal issues and accompany my mother in her most critical condition and assist Sheila in taking care of my mother. For me, Lord, I pray forgiveness from you, my mother, my siblings as I will not be able to share the burden. I cannot simply fly over there because I have a family of my own to look after. I am a full-time mother and housewife. If I go over there nobody else will take care of my family. We have no housemaid. I know this is not an excuse. But I am also under financial constraint, as well as my siblings.
So Lord there is one more thing I am praying for--money. Sheila will persuade the people that owed my mother to somehow assist her with the hospital bills. The last time I heard it popped-up to 35k (doctor's fees not yet included) and will be more each day my mother stays in the hospital. Those people have to pay my mother for the parcel of land they occupied which belonged to my mother's ancestors. It is overdue. And I presume one reason why my mother suffered with high-blood pressure. Please Lord enlighten them also.
This is all I can do for now Lord, PRAY and PRAY and HOPE.
My friends, please join me in my prayers and thank you for the time.
