Dear Father in heaven,

Once again I come before you , on bended knees, with open heart...I know you love me Lord, but it's been so hard. The pain is unbearable, that alone is my battle...but I pray that you keep your hand upon my Mom. She's such a wonderful, good-hearted woman. She is strong, but she needs you Lord, to keep her strong. She has some health issues, that I know you will take care of, but I just pray that you continue to show your miracles through her! She helps so many others, and I need her in my life...I also pray that you touch my boys in their lives, keep them strong in their faith. And my dad and brother, let them know that you are alive in their lives, and that they can believe! And also my fiance Tom...renew his faith in you Lord. Help us all to do your will. Keep the love in my heart Lord. Help me to ignore my pains, and be able to help others. Forgive me for anything I have done against you Lord, or anyone. Thank you Lord, for listening to my prayer, and for answering my prayers! AMEN

Sometimes we forget to pray;... when the bills are piling up, the dogs HAVE to go to the vet this time, the holidays are coming and for the 4th year in a row...we can't buy any gifts for any one in our family or each other at Christmas. And we love the holidays.LOVE to bake and see people around Thanksgiving.,,.my health even sucks some of the joy out of Thanksgiving! I most always can count on my boys to come home for a Thanksgiving meal and family time! And I know God helps me with the pain, or I wouldn't be able to cook their favorite things! Which I LOVE to do. and then there's Christmas...
my family is spread from one end of the US to the other. Now I can get my boys home with me and my fiance...but somewhere out there is my mom and dad, brother, nieces, and my fiances' family.
We just can't seem to bring it all together. Some of the reasons are valid. Time and distance. Other reasons are pointless. Hypocritical and judgemental. Makes me so sad. Makes me so very,very sad.
Because I LOVE my family. All of them. and I PRAY, AND HOPE that everyone could just get along and accept each other the way we are...Thank you Lord, for hearing my prayer. and thank you my friends if you can understand where I'm coming from and can feel my pain. I can't handle this alone Lord. I am giving this to you! Please speak clearly, cause I'm hard-headed...but you already know this don't you? I love you Jesus. Amen

Simply keep me and all those that I love, in your prayers. I will do the same for you and yours.
thank you dear Lord, for this day, and all the wonderful things and ways you have blessed us. Forgive us when we forget to be thankful for all the blessings, and can only focus on the pain and problems and worries in our lives.

please pray for the health and happiness of my family..and that they be blessed and lead their lives by God's will. let me do as God would have me do, and give me strength to understand His will, and lead me in the right direction now, and always.
