    Thank You, dear Father, for being my Friend every hour of

    every day. I praise You for Your constant presence, for the

    way You walk with me and talk to my heart.

    When I get so involved that I'm not aware or Your presences,

    thank You for still being near me. Loving, Helping, Protecting,

    Guiding.

    I love You so much, more than I can ever express. How grateful

    I am for You becoming my Heavenly Father and being with me

    all the time, in any circumstances. Amen

    My little child, I am always with you, My love and friendship are

    unconditional and never failing. I love you with an everlasting love.

    In good times, I rejoice with you. In trials, I hurt for you and comfort

    you as a little one is consoled by his mother.

    When you are hungry, I feed you, When you are thirsty, I give you a

    drink from My vast well of living water. When you are frightened and

    confused, I am here to encourage and lead you. I will never abandon

    or forsake you during your storms of life. Each time you call Me, I

    am here, in your heart. I am your Friend, now and forever, I love you.

    Last night, I had not slept well the previous two nights becuz chemo hurts so much, and so I prayed the Good Shepherd send me an angel to help me through my last four chemos, and that He grant me a good night's sleep.  I woke up with the sun coming up (often I wake up so early it's still dark), and I had slept the right number of hours, and I was so thankful.  When I first knew I had breast cancer, and you know how that rush of emotion hits you and is confusing, and eventually I landed on the dying notion and absolutely could not deal with it, so I prayed and turned it over to the Lord.  He gladly took my burden, and I rarely think of it, all these many months later.  If I did not have the Heavenly Father, His angels, and my husband and dogs and a comfortable home, I would not have been able to do the treatments for my breast cancer. 

    So, I do humbly pray for all women undergoing chemo that hurts them, that their cancer surgeons give them pain killers to get them through the tough times, Lord give them a positive attitude when things get too grim, and most of all, give them life, which I ask forgiveness for myself for taking it for granted for so long, but disease has opened my eyes, and I am now completely and evelastingly grateful for everything I have, Dear Lord in Heaven, my grace and my redemption.  Amen.

    What a comforting thread...thank you.

    Please pray for me; I just had my lumpectomy and SNB last Thursday and am home resting. Have not heard the path reports yet and in my mind I don't want to, but I know it is inevitable. I am so scared and my mind wanders to all the negative dark places. My son turns 21 in September; I want to be here to help celebrate with him, I want to grow old with my husband; I want to live.

    I can hardly pray and open up to God -- I feel numb and hopeless.

    Dear Lord God,

    Please be with Chrys and help ease her mind. 

    Please help her in this early stage of worry that I remember so well.

    Please give her doctors and medical staff the knowledge they need to help her have a great outcome and live a long life that You intend.

    Please give her the peace that passes all understanding.

    Amen.

    Dear BCincolorado -- Many, many thanks for your kind prayer!

    Funny, my sister called me about 2hrs ago and said a co-worker had an anointed healing cloth for me, so I picked it up! I will sleep with it tonight and pray for healing.  Every little bit of help, helps - right?! Smile
