Prayer: Coping with Life Changing Illness
Dear Abba (Father in heaven),
The road is long. I guess it goes back many lifetimes. Here I am, faced with choosing life and working to live. Every minute of each day and night I am working to LIVE. From the start of this chapter in my life I have felt You with me - with me in my weakness and helplessness and with me in my emunah (faith). With me in my struggles, fears, highs and lows - in certainty and in doubt.
Dear Abba, you have led me and continue to Guide me, sending me amazing messengers to help me. You gifted me ___________ whose support, help, constancy and determination have literally gotten me out of bed and improving daily. You've gifted me my inner child who set the foundation many years ago for strength, and creativity to cope and survive life’s challenges. You've provided all I need in nature to heal me physically, all I need in the spiritual to heal my faith and all I need emotionally in the very cells of my body. Your Kindness is forever.
I am truly blessed with _____&_______ and the constant support and encouragement in the path I have chosen. You empower me daily.
It's close to impossible to list everything You have so far placed in my path. My prayer - my hope is that each test comes back with awesome and joyful results. That this imbalance is improving every day - every bite of lettuce, every supplement I swallow, every stalk of celery I juice, every bounce on the trampoline, every visit to holistic healers. Your healing energy is in each cup of green tea, in every video of Chris Wark and Ty Bolinger and in the peace and hope they bring to Your world.
I pray you heal me inside on all levels and heal all those in need of healing in Your perfect world. Help me to help others. Help me believe and know that You want me well and healthy to shine more for You in this world in this lifetime.
I know You are all I need and beg You to keep me close every moment. May I merit that.
I love You and it sometimes feels boundless. Sometimes, though I lose that and it makes me sad. Know, I take from David HaMellech (King David) the following: Please help me to remember always that I can and must hang onto the emunah that our love exists on all planes and at all times whether I feel it or not.
With this faith I will survive and LIVE. I want to LIVE. Please grant me LIFE.
