Prayer Request

I ask this prayer request for myself and first I must admit I feel selfish for asking for anyone to pray for me when so many other are suffering and hurting and more deserving of prayer, I truly do. I write this out of desperation. I am so sad, scared, confused, depressed, anxious, fatigued. I feel physically and emotionally useless, destroyed, devastated with all kinds of ailments and guilt, etc...! I need so very much help and I don't have any money and no way to get the help. I only have 4 teeth left and my gums are severely infected and doctors have been telling me for years now that I may die anyway if the infection goes to my heart but I can not afford it and have seek help all to no avail. Medicare and Medicaid can not help me for I have both but no help and no money. I don't want to die but I am not living either. My son died in Sept., of suicide and I feel so much guilt and rightfully so. My children's dad died Christmas morn in 08 and my dad died 2 yrs. ago. I have lost close friends, too many lately and another from suicide. My life is sitting home not being able to do much of anything except just lay on the sofa with no energy and in constant pain... physically and emotionally. I don't understand why God is not helping me. I pray all the time. I try to be a good person. I am sure I can do more yet having such little energy prevents me from doing it. I feel like my mind is slipping away. I pray for help but I need so much where do I start and how?? Most of all thanks for letting me write this!

Prayer Request

I am going to have some heart surgery this Tuesday, May 28th, and although I have had this one before, it has made me think long and hard about my life and this in turn has made me very sad. I never thought I would share this with others and I must say this is very difficult for me yet I guess I am going to just get it out.
I have 5 siblings, lost my Dad , 5-27-3012 and my mom is still with us, and I have two children and one grandchild and many of nieces and nephews but I really do not have all of them. I barely speak nor know any of them but 2, who do try to keep in touch. Oh they say they care and they love me yet in my heart I know this is not so for if they did they would show it and include me in their lives but they don't. They make excuses and truly I don't blame or hate anyone... it just is! I am blessed to have a wonderful man, who is my partner and best friend for over 18 years now, and we have a very special blessed love. I am just sad that I thought I had all those others, especially the ones I gave birth to and yet I don't and I feel they were taken from me and only God can understand this and know for the truth has been buried so far under that they are no longer able to feel it or see it.
My formal husband of over 17 years, and the father of my two children, is also gone since, 12-25-2008, and he was only 49 yrs. old, and I love and miss him too. He died alone and should not have and even these people who left him to die take no responsibility for their roles in his loneliness. They believe they were good to him and that they love him as much as he deserved. Again, the truth is with God for only He knows now...
Now I come to today. I spend a lot of time on the internet and mostly Facebook for I find friends who I feel truly love and care about me. The ones who say they love me... they say my Facebook friends are not real and I don't know them but I feel I know their hearts and they show me they love and care for me. I must remember to trust my instinct and to trust in God and feel His love for I will never feel this loneliness again...
I pray to feel loved, respected and cared for by others. I feel a great need to show others how much they mean to me and that I do truly love and care about them! I pray for peace and to be whole. I pray to begin to live here as God wants me to live for now I just exist!
Please pray that my surgery goes well and that I will again get strength to live happy and have and know love of others...
Thank You!
