When my sister passed away I fell into a deep depression. I could not shake this situation or feeling no matter what I did. Then a weird dream I had one night, opened my eyes and I knew what I was missing. The power of Prayer!
As I was not much for prayer in the past because of all the struggles and evil I had to overcome in the past, I have most recently found the more you pray the better you will feel, and you attitude toward life in general will become positive. Thus more positive things will happen. I have allowed myself to follow a quote a friend passed on to me: 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
I cannot even begin to tell you how prayer and belief has changed my life completely! I will leave you now in prayer. God Bless.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
In loving memory ofTrust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3, 5-6

Thank you Jack
Amen Michelle. I am so sorry for your great loss my friend. This hurts me because it affects you too. What a lovely tribute to her and your enduring grief in a godly way too. That's what the hope of Christ allows us. Yes, prayer changes everything. It is not the least we can do, but the very most we can do. Well done and again, my deep and sincere condolences my friend.
