Dear Lord, Thank You for helping me make it through this day. I am tired and so very sad. Tomorrow will be another day. Please help me not to be envious or bitter about all the couples I see who are our age or older and are able to enjoy so many things in life. Please help my children understand how much a phone call and a loving word means. Please give me strength, kindness and patience to tackle another day. Please help me to find some small moment of joy in each day. For this we pray. Amen
Ditto to that Bama....... Sending strength to you jang in the form of hugs and prayers lifted to our Heavenly Father..... Hope you have a great night....
Amen, amen, amen! I think I will repeat this prayer when I go to bed - very soon now. Thank you. Hugs and kisses. All of us who believe must try to always remember that this place we live in isn't the last stop - there are brighter days ahead!
jang, that prayer was written from the heart & It has touched many believing hearts here. I just printed it out so that I can say it every evening. Thank you from my heart!
ElaineH...it was written from the heart. There were tears pouring down my face as I typed. I had been crying for a while and it was running through my head. I hoped it might have meaning for all of us.
I'm sure our Heavenly Father will hear and answer that prayer. We certainly have a bond between us here because we understand exactly what that prayer is all about. Thank you, Jang.
Dear Lord, there are so many new members here and i trust that you have allowed this place for us to come to comfort one another in our greatest time of need. Father you are Love, and that is what we share when we come to this site. I thank you that you have shown me that I am not alone. Not only are YOU with me without judging me, but so are my friends here. I pray that you bless them and their LO's and help us all to endure this journey.
I wanted to find a thread where I could come to pray with those who share in faith and was thrilled to find this. There are times that it is comforting to share with not only those who's loved ones have AD, but also those who have a relationship with the Father and know that HE is in control.....HE will somehow show us the way!
You have given me another day Lord and once again I come to you in prayer asking that you take this cup from myself and the others that are on this journey,but if not Your will be done. While I don't nderstand why you have allowed this to happen to us and our LO, I am choosing to believe that you will help us walk it out, when others appear to be turning their backs. Create in us new hearts and give us steadfast spirits to endure. Fear does not come from you, so help us to place everything in Your hands and help us choose to believe you are working behind the scenes even when we can't seem to find our way. Amen.
Thank you God for allowing us to make it through today, even though some may be wanting to see you face to face. For some the burden of AD may have been a bit easier today, but I also know that for some they just don't know how they will make it through. May we all find comfort, rest and peace. Please Lord send help where there seems to be no answers. We need reinforcements from Your Holy Hill. May we all have a sweet nights sleep. In your name I pray. Amen
Lord you have given some of us another day. Even though we walk in the valley, you are here with us and our LO 's. May we cling to you in our hour of need, and there are many! Transformation is a painful process, and I know that you are changing me from the inside out. Thank you for Your Grace and patience with all of us, as You know us intimately and we are doing the best we can. Keep your angels encamped around all who are living the world of AD. I pray especially for our LO's who live in a world of confusion. Amen
How little did I know when I wrote that prayer that in less than 6 months, I would be crying because Gord was gone. We have no idea what lies around the next corner.
Jang, I am sorry for your loss and I can 't imagine how you feel. I am learning through this disease not to take one day for granted. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, with AD, we know for certain there is not a cure. Hold on to, cling to and fight for the faith you have, even if it is the size of a mustard seed. We all matter to God, and he sees how we all hurt. Lord, only you know what each of us need. I pray you would take all our sorrows and turn them into joy. We will wait upon you Lord. Amen
Dear Lord as I scroll through all the discussions, I am saddened by all those who are suffering physically and emotionally. We in the AD world are trying to make sense of a disease that has no answers. I pour out my heart to you today, I know you feel our pain. May we all gain understanding, whatever that looks like, I'm not sure, but You do. Today I have to choose by faith to trust You. Be with my friends today give them supernatural portions of strength in the areas of their lives where there lack. Amen
If I didn't have prayers from others I know my day would be worse. Thank you, Father, for other believers who remember me when I am too low to even know how to pray. I don't want to whine when my situation isn't as bad as others in this group so forgive me when I seem ungrateful for the good in my life. Amen
Sometimes I wish we had a "like" button as we do on Facebook. These prayers are so much like I feel and I pray along with you when I'm reading. Thanks everyone. Love you all.
Lord, I thank you for being able to celebrate the birth of your Son. Today another miracle, reconciliation with our children. A year ago I never dreamt this day would have happened, forgive me for not trusting you. I pray tonight for all my friends here who may have lost hope and are so discouraged. Help us to trust in your timing even though it seems like we are long suffering. We have so many challenges, so much heartache, we are tired. May you renew our strength, draw us closer to you and help us live with what seems impossible right now, HOPE. Amen
Ann you are so right. How I would have fought this if I had only thought for a minute my dear one would sink into where he is now. perhaps I would have treasured the moments together more although I thought I was at the time. Even now I know unless he dies his condition will get much worse so I'm trying to treasure the good times he has now. I cling to the knowledge that God will never give me more than He knows I can bear and sometimes He must know I'm much stronger than I think I am.
