WHEN FEARFUL

Lord, help me to be honest about my fears and to face them with the faith and courage that relies on You. Help me to believe that, in Jesus, You have made me Your own, promised to be with me, and delivered me from fear. Amen. +

COMFORT IN AGING

A lot of things were easier when I was younger, Lord. Now that I'm moving less and aching more, some of those things are harder for me. How will I keep going? I'm sure You know! O Lord, You are my safe place. You hold me in Your embrace, close enough, You promise, even to count the hairs on my head (so You know, too, that there aren't as many of those as there used to be either, and the color's changed). By Your grace, keep my faith strong and my hope secure.

I trust You to be with me always....always through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. +

AMID UNCERTAINTY IN HEALTH

It's been like riding a roller coaster for me, Lord: surgery, treatment, improvement, and now relapse. I don't know what's next, and I am afraid. Spreak Your strong "Fear not" to my heart, and make me listen more. Remind me that You are my helper, and my healer, and calm my fears. In Jesus' name. Amen. +

A PRAYER FOR COPING

O God, you know my feelings, You know that I want to feel better; I want to be better; I want to have my health restored. But the hours of testing, the days of diagnosing, and the question marks concerning my future seem nearly more than I can take!

Grant me, O Lord, the strength to face each hour of this and every day. In fact, when it seems that I cannot face even this hour, fill me with sufficient strength to face the next five minutes. Thank You , Lord. Amen. +

"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed;...so we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day." (II Corinthians 4:8-9,16)

A PRAYER FOR SLEEP

O God, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, because You continually watch over and care for me, I realize that I am in good hands. Thus, as I go to sleep I can entrust myself to Your keeping.

Grant me a night of rest so that the healing processes of my body can be about their work. And may I awaken in the morning refreshed and with renewed strength to face tomorrow. Amen. +

Jesus, friend of little doggies
Be a friend to me...
Take my paw and ever lead me
Closer to Thee

Teach me how to grow in goodness
Daily as I grow
Thou dost love the little doggies,
Lord I know.

Amen

This is actually a little hymn our mum sings with us before our prayers...
