Lord, I am scared and afraid. My life is so screwed up and I don't know where to turn or what to do. I am afraid if I give up I will once again be labeled a loser. I'm afraid if I give up You will say, "Why?" I am hurting to no ends. Tears flow without a thought. Dan and I need to work on our relationship to make it the best it can be. I know that You need to be a part of it NOW. Will You please show me the way? I believe you sent Dan to me for a reason - Dan has made me a very happy lady. Somewhere along the way we lost something - please help us to find it and find our way back to each other. I want to spend the rest of my life with Dan and have the happiness with him that I deserve. Will you help us to make that happen?

Lord, I am hurting. I want things to work out for Dan and I. There is this elephant in the room with us and we need to get rid of it - along with the problems in our relationship. Lord, I was not looking for love when Dan came into my life but I decided to take a chance after being alone for 20 years. I am afraid and have been depressed because of this. I cry at the drop of the hat and I have been having headaches all weekend.

I do not want to lose Dan! If I do lose him, I am going to admit defeat for the last time and won't take a chance on love with anyone ever again. I am tired of giving my all and losing it in the end. I wish Dan could see all the things I have to offer.

Lord, I know this must be a test...but I can't help but hurting. I need you Lord, and so does Dan. Please bring us back together.

Lord, please be with me when I talk to Dan. We have been having problems in our relationship that we've been ignoring for some time. WE need to talk this through and get counseling, with the Lord guiding us. We both have been hurt by others in the past and I don't want us to hurt each other.

I love Dan with all my heart and I want to be his wife. WE need to work on our relationship NOW before it's too late. I do not want to lose Dan. I believe that our problems started when he stopped going to church. Dan needs the Lord as much as I do. I want to be happy with Dan and him with me. I want to win - no more heartache or heartbreak!!

It's been awhile, but I want to thank the Lord for saving my soul. I want to thank the Lord for sparing my Aunt Margie of more pain and taking her home. While I would have liked to have seen her life spared, I know that she is in a better place and is with her sons, parents and siblings.

I pray for the health of my Aunt Oleda. I pray for comfort for my Uncle Morris. I pray for the health and happiness of my parents, siblings, other family members and friends.

I ask that you remember Dan and me. I asked him yesterday if we could get away for a long weekend - just us. We NEED "WE TIME."

We also need to discuss a date to get married - before the end of the year. I am working so I can help out if he is worried about expenses.

I also need prayers as to when I need to contact social security to say that I have returned to work, and to use my ticket to work. I also need prayers for a permanent position to materialize where I work - one I can do, full or part time with full or part time benefits! I want to be independent again!

I also would like to see Dan get back in church. He needs the Lord as much as Dan needs me!

Lord, please be with Uncle Morris to cope with the loss of his sister Sarah. Help him to be strong for Aunt Margie. She is in a lot of pain right now and I pray that You can ease it. It is You that has the ultimate decision on her situation. You can cause her to go into remission, make the tumor disappear or take her home. While I pray for the best, I know that it is in your hands.

I pray for a safe trip for Mom and Dad as they go down to see her today. Ease their minds and let them know that I have things under control and they need not worry.

Thank you Lord for the job you have blessed me with. I realize that I am a contingent with no benefits, I pray that I can get 40 hours a week and eventually go to full or part time with benefits. I want to be comfortable in my job before I give up my social security.

Please remember Dan and myself. You Lord are aware of the situation and I want things to work out positively for both of us. We have been engaged almost two years and I feel it is time that we got married before the end of the year.

Lord, Thank YOU for answering my prayer and bringing me a job. I pray that You help me to be my best and that I can advance. While some people think that the hours will be irregular (it's contingent) and no benefits, it is a start.

I also pray that Dan will make me a permanent part of his life - by the end of this year. I love him and I want to be his wife. I also pray for his salvation.....

Whoever reads this, I pray for you and that the Lord will bless you and make you whole, happy and healthy.

Lord, please give me the strength to make a tough decision this week and to stand by it.

Lord,I don't know why Dan has shut down. Please allow him to open up to me and explain what's wrong. Lord, I pray that You will intervene and get things back on track. I want us to be married before the end of the year and I don't want to give up on him. Lord, he also needs You as his Lord and Savior...

Thank You for all that You have done for me and please grant me patience...but also wisdom.

Please remember my Aunt Margie who was diagnosed with lung cancer and that the chemo will put it into remission and she can return to a normal life.

Please remember Russ' wife, who has Parkinson's disease and dementia. She currently has home health care and hospice. While she is not in any pain that we know of, she doesn't know who Russ is. Also remember Russ during this time.

I ask for your prayers - I want to start my life with Dan before the end of the year. I told him that I can be flexible, but to a point.

I want to thank the Lord for helping me to get out of debt! Other than my monthly living expenses, I am free from debt! Praise the Lord! I pray that I can start saving as needed.

Please pray for Faith Missionary Baptist Church. They are in a financial crisis which needs to be resolved ASAP. We have seen several members go to glory in the last few years yet we have to replace the financial needs that they gave. While this is only a church building, many people gave to make it happen. I would hate to see it sold, or any of the other options, which would be merging with another church or folding altogether.
