Subject: Please pray for my losses and a miracle

Text: In 5 years I have lost my mother, grandmother, 2 close aunts & 2 close uncles very suddenly. I am the caregiver of my aging father & mentally retarded sister. Due to financial cutbacks I have also been laid off from my 3rd job in 4 years & am currently unemployed.
In the midst of all of this, God blessed me by sending a wonderful man into my life. He was a ray of sunshine in my dark clouds. Unfortunately, the relationship recently terminated over some misunderstandings.

All of these losses have pushed me into a severe depression & anxiety. Please pray for my losses, that those who have died rest in peace and for the miracle of being reunited with this man who was a gift from God - that we are able to work things out and be together again soon as is God's will.

My prayers go out for the person sending the request. It seems that the only thing she can change or undo are the misunderstandings. A wonderful thing about misunderstandings is that they are opportunities (if we look at them this way) to make understanding.

Eternal Memory to those who have died.

Mother, Grandmother, 2 Aunts & 2 Uncles and all Family members who sleep in the Lord Pray for your descendant for she has embraced & upheld the meaning of family. Also if you see Cupid flying around have him aim his arrow at Mr."Ray of Sunshine's" backside. wink


Sat. cartoons bring out the
silly in me.

May those who have died find happiness in the Presence of God. May the Lord grant the writer consolation in that happiness. May He bless her with that which she gives to others, love and strength and concern.

Janet,

I have received your PM and of course will take your petition to Lourdes.

May Our Blessed Lady, Mary ever virgin, Mother of us all keep you in Her most tender care

Dear Janet,

May God bless you and give you strength!

I pray that the man in question return to the warmth of your love and embrace.

With someone so loving and wonderful as yourself, he needs you more than you need him!

To all of you who have been praying for me, I just wanted to write a quick thank you. I find much comfort in it. I also did a St. Jude Novena and on the last day of the Novena, Mr. "Ray of sunshine" called me. We are "working things out", but so far so good - and this really looked impossible. My tears of sorrow are once again joy and I rejoice in the Lord. I pray now for continual strength in this relationship and all other struggles I am going through. The power of prayer is amazing and I thank you all for keeping me in yours, please continue to do so and you will all be in mine.
God bless,
-Janet

To all of you who have been praying for me, again a word of thanks and a reminder of the comfort I find in them.
As you may have seen on one of the other posts I am still struggling with finding amployment or growing my business and I thank you all again for keeping me in your prayers in that area as well.
Please continue to keep me and my love in your prayers as well. There are still many obstacles in our way (he has too much work and I obviously, not enough) and we are both struggling with fears and hurts from our past and opening our hearts. Please pray that the good Lord opens up our hearts and clears any obstacles are in our way from a committment. I feel it is not and easy road, but will be worth it - it always is when it comes from God.
I ask you to please continue to pray for both of us and the struggles that we are going thru and that God keeps us together to get through them as one.
Thank you again and God Bless
