We need to pray for all of the women who have a partner with illness.

Lord give us the strength to not feel as helpless as we do and help us to radiate our strength onto our partner. Help us be a supporting rock in the face of trying times. Help us to not feel guilt as we so often do and give us courage to face this illness with our partner as a united front to combat it. Give us the courage to allow others to help us and give us a needed break that we feel we cannot take. Most of all, Lord, cure our sick partner and help us to live a long and healthy life together. If that is not your wish, Lord, please give us the strength to accept and honor your decision with the help of your courage and our faith. Lord bless us and keep us strong.
