My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

You have no idea how that prayer today was and is for me.
Please pray. hard. I am at a crossroads - pray I could walk in his light, hearing his voice and that I would have no fear.
I'm falling apart again - and just want to walk no run and burrow my face no my whole being until Jesus comes back. I can't take this anymore ...
(sorry to be so vague -even though this is a private blog - I can't write it all out ... it's as if - even here- there's no space because the pain is so great.
I am so tired of this ...
God you've heard the cry from my deepest being. You see my broken heart and spirit. Please give me wisdom.
Help me! Help me to set my boundaries in the right place and give me peace from You.
Help me be flexible where I should be and firm where that is appropriate too.
And push the darkness away that I can see you properly again. Amen
Prayers for you, Lorna. Hope you find the right way to turn at your crossroads.
I ask for prayers for my daughter, who is at a crossroads of her own and really struggling with decisions about where to go next.
I'm praying for you Lorna, and for your daughter widening circles...for peace, for a sense of God's presence and for the Spirit's guidance.
today was getting worse and worse ... but then the prayers kicked in I think ... it's still grim
but DD and I went to the sauna and talked about something else -erm boys - (she's 14 - soon 15) and well we both managed to laugh
Prayers for her - she's had some tests done. All negative but still abdominal pain ... next appt next Wednesday
my deepdown fear is anorexia - please God not that - she eats very little and still think she's 'fat' or 'wide' sigh
it's taken courage to name this now .. so please deal with us carefully - we're marked fragile handle with care right now.
God! We need you. I need you!
Lorna, I 'm sorry to hear of the worries with your daughter and hope you will know something soon. Bless your heart, God is with you. But that doesn't mean things will look the way we expect or hope they will. In spirit, you are surrounded by friends, and by their prayers.
Thank you ALL for your prayers.
I slept well last night (7 hours) and that's helped a lot ...
And SB I hear you. My prayer right now (for my self ) is that I will survive this ... it's as simple or as profound as that.
As for DD my prayer is that there would be a clear - not a wishy washy- diagnosis.
blessings and love
Prayers for these daughters of yours God, those who suffer, those who are concerned, those seeking your face in the darkness.
praying for you and DD, Lorna
I suffered with bulimia in grad school
it is very insidious and illogical
love you
God, I am so grateful for these pray-ers on this blog. You have pulled us together. Let each of our lives overflow with Your joy and Your presence, because of Your great love for us. Amen
I find this prayer comforting every time I read it...
..as I did just now...
thanks...
love in Jesus
