A Prayer Request

It's Me Again, Lord. Same Ole Person

Shirley A Mandel
Dear readers. I need your prayers. Because of some serious neurological symptoms that I have been experiencing, my primary care doctor has ordered an MRI of my head using some kind of ionized contrast medium. This is scary stuff.

On top of that, I have a very demanding elderly Mom who is on my case to render hard physical labor in her house on a regular basis and too keep my own house spotless too.

Snd she just does not understand or believe, that I've been really, really sick for over a year now, and that I'm doing my utmost best to do right by my parents for the Lord's sake, and because I genuinly care about them. Please pray for her too because she needs a little more help than just help around the house.

Also please pray that I don't get stuck in that x-ray tunnel since my giant economy sized ego has greatly inflated my head. LOL

Hey, one has to have a healthy ego to think that he or she can write something worthy to be published on an international website and garner the attention of perfect strangers. And this means every single one of us!

Thanks for your prayers, my perfect friends.

In Christ

Shirley Ann

    Shirley, Despite the obvious trials and tribulations in your life, you are a blessed soul - you are still able to laugh at yourself. That means a higher power is within you to guide you along! I pray for you as a brother from a distant land but feel close to you as you go through the tough times. Keep the spirits up, Shirley; some others are in worse straits - siva

    Dear God, please help Shirley Ann to overcome these trials that she is experiencing. Please let her know that you are with her and that when she puts her faith in you and prays, that you will help her to make the right decisions. Please help her family to understand that she is doing all she can and that she needs a break to let herself heal. Please be with her and calm her when she takes her test and ensure that the results will help to discover what she needs. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
