Barbara A. R.
FOR MYSELF-PLEASE PRAY I FIND THE COURAGE TO KEEP LIVING PLEASE


I am 44 and have several chronic diseases. I have no women in my life..no mother, sisters, cousins, etc. I only have a daughter who thinks sick people are weak.I have a beautiful loving son who is 22. He has put his life on hold to care for me.

I have no energy and am always sick. Now.even to sit at the computer is draining. I am constantly fighting one illness after another. Each disease I have makes it hard to treat another. My main illness is severe Hep C which I contracted via a needlestick at work. I have had it 20 years and it is getting progressively worse. I already feel like I am *dead*.To get up and walk or take a bath is draining. I do not know if it is the Hepatits, the medicines I must take for excruating pain or for high blood pressure after a stroke at 39, or severe depression. Lately I feel like I am literally about to die soon.The doctors seem to have reached a point where there is little they can do to try and *fix* me.I am so afraid and tired. Please pray that I regain at LEAST enough strength to fight to live. This feeling has been with me for about two months now and each day it grows stronger.I BEG you..please pray. I can not leave my son..I also have a year old granddaughter who may need me one day. Bless all of you.

Dear Barbara - Please have faith - know that you are loved and are never alone - reach deep and know the stillness of the Lord - Be anxious for nothing.....I know that the physical problems can be overwhelming - but if you reach out to God you will find that he has always been there - bask in his love - in his healing - you are a wonderful person - he created you in his image - what more can be said!!! Try as you may to rise above the physical and enter the spritual - detach from the physical, push aside the negative( i know this is hard- but practice and believe) the lord is with you read,read,read, study and understand just how great and powerful HE is ..i wish you peace and love - please take care - you can do it!!Find new doctors if you must - at 44 you have just started you life -!!Do not settle you must fight for yourself you are worth it!!!!There are so many different meds for depression - find the one for you so that some of the burden can be lifted just by a more positive outlook - I have read somewhere that we may feel bad thing happen to us over and over but maybe they do because we have never learned to lesson they were suppose to teach - it keeps happening until we get it right....Reach to God/Beleive in his power/Faith/Hope/Love these are the most powerful weapons that we have to overcome our trials - if what you have been doing in the past has not worked - try something else - do not give up!!

Dear Lord,Knowing your infinite compassion,I pray that Barbara has no doubt that she is precious to you, not because of anything she has done or hasn't done, but just for herself. May she know that your love is your power and that with the Lord of all creation behind her,nothing or no-one can stand against her. Give to her now the free gifts of your Holy Spirit, love , joy and peace.May she know that everything is unfolding as it should,that we are all the same underneath, that you are drawing good out of evil and through suffering you are drawing us all to yourself. May she be reassured that everything in our lives is drawing us to a point where you await us to reveal your love and the fact that you have been in our lives and always will be. Let her also have no fear for anyone she loves as you are in their lives too and noone is ever lost forever.
Trusting in your infinite love and power, this I pray for Barbara and for all with pain in their hearts.

Dear heart
Peace be with you
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
A while back I helped take care of a lady who had been shot 5xs point blank by a jealious x date friend. Somehow she managed to find the strength to crawl up into her house and find the cordless phone and dial 911.Then she collasped onto the floor into a pool of blood. As she lay there staring at all the blood she was loosing she said,
"Oh God look at all this blood,I'm surely gonna die..." When she then saw a man standing in the hallway, light shone all around him. He reached his hands forward showing her and gently said, "Its not that blood that's important, but this blood." "Your not going to die, you havn't fulfilled
your purpose yet."
Needless to say she didn't die.
And now she realizes that she has a purpose to fulfill. True story.
So dear heart,have what is your purpose? I think that perhaps some purposes may be more difficult than others. Dear heart Im guessing you were a nurse or health care worker in the service of taking care of others - a needle stick
It is with utmost respect I have for you
and your sacrifice. How many of us have been stuck many times, it is the nature of nursing like the nature of a mother to care for her young to sacrifice them selves for their children.
God Love you
God Bless you
May He shine His face upon you.
With all my heart.

Dear Barbara:
I wish that you prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. These are the words that reflect so much about us. If our soul doesn't prosper neither can we. We ignore the fact that it reflects our physical bodies in a way. How much are you 'feeding' your soul? Are you totally dependent on doctors? How much have you turned over to Jesus? He is the head doctor, and supreme healer. Turn to the wall and cry out to God. Ask for forgiveness of sins (past, present and future) then ask Him to heal you...first spiritually, then physically. Know that if He doesn't heal you now, when you do leave these earthly bounds, you will be healed totally and completely. Stop trying to do it yourself, He is in control, just sit back and let Him take control. I always pray, "God you have a higher calling for my life, and I don't think that you put me here to just allow me to leave like this, so please heal me of this so that I can do what you put me here for." Then I go on acting like He has healed me until He does heal me. I don't want to make you feel any worse, but call for the elders of your church, who will pray for you and annoint you with oil and you will rise from your bed. Drop off that Higher Power ideology, God is His title, Jesus is His name, and He is the Highest Power. Amen (so be it)

Barbara,
Like you I too have several chronic dieases such as lupus, thryoid, and several others that come along with lupus and thyroid dieases. I too am usually in some sort of pain. You have let the diease take over you like instead of believing that God will only give us as much as he believes we can handle. I am 48 years old and have lived with these dieases since I was in my early twenties. I had one good cry and got on my knees and prayed to God and asked him to help me deal with what I was to go through for the rest of my life. And you know what, he not only heard my prayer, he answered my prayer. People are amazed when they find out that I am so sickly because I hardly ever complain. I went through that stage of why me? Then I thought why not me - who would I wish this on. Barbara, God is so good he hears all our prayers but we have to remember that when we pray and ask God to help us we must then leave it in his hands and allow him to do whatever. We also must pray and ask him to give us the courage and strength to accept whatever his will is. God never promised that our bodies would live forever. You mentioned your son. That is God's child he only gave him to you for a little while. When GOD is ready you will leave not only him but you grandchild as well. Don't spend so much time worrying about what is going to happen just enjoy today and let tommorw take care of itself. Above all remember that GOD loves you.

Dear Barbara;

I am one that also suffers from chronic illnesses. I had a kidney transplant in 96, my small toe on my right foot {1/98} and my left leg above the knee amputated
{4/99} due to PVD. Peripheal Vascular Disease and also had a heart attack due to this disease as well. This disease is a blood clotting disorder. I don't know what it is like to have Hep C, but I do know what it is like feeling the way you do. When my leg had to be amputated, I thought it was the end of the world for me. Sometimes I still think it is. I ALWAYS was on the go with no stopping me. But I thank God that I have a boyfriend who cares WHO I am and not what I am. He was and still is a God-send to me. It is good that you have your son by your side. Your daughter may be the way she is because she just may be afraid of what is going on with you. She may not be facing it as well as your son is. Give her time and just pray that she comes around. You may email me anytime at lively-39one@beliefnet.com or pezziepaddlesNY@webtv.net . I have a web page at my web address if you would like to read it. Hopefully it can bring some cheer into your life.

O Heavenly Father I pray that you take Barbara under your wings and give her the strength to live on.

In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
