A Prayer Request and a Prayer/Poem

Shirley A Mandel
I just want to ask my faithful readers to remember me in your prayers because I'm struggling with various mental and physical health issues. I'm dealing with double vision from diabetes right now and typing with one eye closed so I can see better. And if you think that's easy, try it. LOL Thanks for your continued support.

As a bipolar person,
there are times when anger
is going out of me
every which way.

Oh Lord,
let your love
go out of me
every which way
instead.

May love
vanquish that anger enemy
in me for good

and everyday'

So I can be a better person
for You,
for others.

Amen

    Prayers and best wishes to you! It's such a blessing to have a testimony of God and to know the power of prayer. I know that He hears our pleas and wipes away our tears. What a privilege it is to be able to turn to Him, knowing that all will be well.

    make a long story short, the rbbery attemp made each of us (about 7 people) respond in differing ways. Some cried, some becamevery distant, some refused to coeback to work. I became extremely angry and hostile. It took God to ease the anger. God is always waiting for us to ask Him t hlp us with our problems. sometimes anger is something we cannot control on our own and at times it does cause us to do some hurtful/harmful things even kill. Take care and you hve my prayers.
