Prayers being offered up @SheilaKathy

I found a prayer I want to share with everyone;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear God

Please untie the knots

That are in my mind.

My heart and my life.

Remove the have nots,

The can nots and the do nots

That I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

May nots,

Might nots that may find

A home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,

Would nots and

Should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all,

Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind,

My heart and my life, all of the “am nots”

That I have allowed to hold me back’

especially the thought

that I 'am not' good enough.

AMEN

I'm In Such Pain... I don't know how I will make it through the Candle Light Service tonight. It is my lower back. Laying down does not help, standing up does not either. Sitting is about the same.

I need prayer, not only about that though. I got a form for my Food Stamps that has to be in by Jan. 15th. It was mailed on Dec. 10th, but did not get to me until yesterday after business hours, on the 23rd of Dec.! It must have been delayed because of the holidays. The trouble is, I have to get some Dr.'s offices and Hospitals to send me receipts for medical bills paid during this month. I have one of them, but the rest will have to be mailed to me, and I cannot even call to get the "ball rolling" until probably Tuesday at the earliest, but probably really Wednesday in many cases. By the time they get it to me, I get it copied and mailed, I doubt I will be able to get it in by the Jan. 15th deadline, without God's help! So I am asking for prayers. Thanks.

Prayers on the way Sheila

My beloved niece Jo Jo has a detestable boyfriend. He is neglectful and uncaring, selfish and insensitive, puts her down constantly. He's in denial about what he does to her too, blames it all on her. However, she can't pry herself loose from him, it seems, due to some kind of separation anxiety she has. She is also PTSD. We talked for an hour today and she cried through most of the conversation. She knows that this guy is RUINING her life, but she just cannot seem to let go.

Please pray for her, that she finally can get the strength to say "BYE!" to him once and for all time. She knows she should. She just does not want to hurt him, I think, if I recall, that was one reason she can't seem to let go.

I'm including her in my prayers, @SheilaKathy. I'm praying God helps give her the strength she needs to get away from this guy and find her own way.

Amen, and thanks! @hodge

I need you all to pray hard for my neighbors so that they will go somewhere where they can grow spiritually. I told them if they messed with me I would get a little old Catholic lady to pray for them and this is as close as I can get without going downtown. ;)

But seriously they need to grow spiritually and I want to add that I don't really care how God goes about doing that.:angelic:

Thank you all so much,
Lion

Carla is my helper, taking me to the grocery store every week, and helping me run other errands. She also helps me out around the house a bit and I consider her my friend too, although she technically works for County Social Services and is paid by them to help me because I am elderly, live alone and need her help due to my disabilities. Her pay also comes from the Federal government as well as local governments.

Carla has a very serious illness called Sclerderma (spelling?) which causes all of her organs to grow as if they have cancer! She is in the hospital right now and it is her heart, her boss told me.

Please pray for Carla.
