I decided to go on the hunt for some uplifting prayers etc... these seemed to make me smile and feel better.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3, 5-6
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

O God,
I am in your hands.
You know me from my mother's womb.
O Wise Creator,
soothe my pain; heal my body and soul.
O Good Jesus,
you went doing good and healing many.
Once your hands raised the dead to life:
restore my health to me.
Once your hands gave sight to the blind:
take me from the darkness of my fears.
Once your hands made the paralyzed walk:
let me walk again
with my family and friends.
Once your hands were nailed to the cross:
strengthen me in sickness and pain.
O Holy Spirit,
Giver of Life,
Helper and Friend,
Source of all good gifts,
bring peace and comfort to me.
If you are reading this please say a prayer for my health and my home situation. I just feel like I keep being kicked in the face when I'm already down. Pray for my spirit to be uplifted as well. God Bless you all for your kind words, thoughts, cards & calls.
{{{{{{Hugs!}}}}}}, Laurie. I can't believe DH would do that with you not feeling well. If it was reversed, you'd be taking care of him. Geeeez! I was sorry to hear you were in the hospital again. Hope your doing better! I'm sure any stress you have to deal with is not helping. {PRAYER'S} for a less stressful time, loved ones to step up to the plate, no more hopital stays and a beautiful summer.... Take care, hang in there.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I always liked, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
