I am also asking for safe travels for my dear friend, Lisa, and her son, Alan, who are traveling in Europe for the next few weeks!! Praying for good health and a safe trip home!! Lord, hold them in your hands and protect them from harm! Amen!!!

There are many of my Facebook friends that need prayer right now, Lord! Many are sick or suffering and seeking some sort of reprieve or relief; others have family members or dear friends who are ill or suffering! I, too, Lord, despite the many blessings that you have given me, continue to suffer from a deep depression stemming from severe pain and chronic illness that many do not understand; I ask Lord, that you continue to comfort all those who are suffering, grieving, or just trying to get through each day, like myself! Please hold all of us in your healing hand and continue to comfort each and every one of us!!

Please pray for me that I can somehow get my life back! I am suffering with constant pain in my neck and back. Although I try to live my life as best I can, with each year, it becomes more and more difficult. My husband and I try to live our lives (he has chronic neck and back pain as well) because I try to be a part of my nieces and nephews lives (shows, sports, etc.). They are young, but will not be forever, and I want to cherish these moments that I have with them, as they are my life and part of my reason for living. I just want to feel better, not walk around like a zombie, as I am so full of painkillers. I want to remember all these precious times with them: they are my life! Please pray for me that I will begin to improve as the weather warms up, and that I an get SOME pain relief, as being in constant pain is extremely depressing, so depressing to the point that I have thought about taking my own life because I no longer have a decent quality of life; I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS! PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!
