Sadness in Recovery
August 30, 2021 Dear Jesus, please help us today. We need you. As you know, I’ve been crying all morning. Talking to my sweet sponsor, Terri, was so helpful. She told me to eat and drink a lot of water. We talked about “Being powerless over Byron’s critical condition. He’s lost 4 liters of blood! We think Byron may not make it today. We were all in tears yesterday and now today. Please help me comfort Fernando. This is going to be hard for him. If Byron comes to you, Please place him under your loving wings and keep him in heaven. He needs your love. I love you, sweet…

Faith in Grieving
August 28, 2021 Dear Heavenly Father, please help my father-in-law Byron. Please don’t take him. He must have another heart surgery. My poor Fernando is devastated over his father’s health. This will be a test of faith. Please help Fernando during these difficult days. Please ease my worried mind. The first thing that came to mind was Byron, and tears poured down my cheek. I love Byron. He’s funny, and we had lots of fun when visiting Fernando’s father. Biron took us all over Ecuador. We always laughed together. We had beautiful moments; please, dear sweet Jesus, keep him with us. I’m begging you to heal Biron. I love him…

Love is God God is Love
August 26, 2021 Dear Jesus, today’s reading was about “Love.” Jesus said to love each other as I have loved you. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. Lately, I’ve been praying to you and feel at peace most of the time. And I love you, sweet Jesus. The reading also says, “I pray that Christ will live in your heart by faith and that your life will be strong in love and built on Love.” Love is a small word, but love has so many meanings. My love for you, Jesus, is strong, and I believe in and trust you. Please help me to ease my…

God and Healing
August 24, 2021 Dear Jesus, thank you for not leaving me alone with my difficulties, failures, and worries. Today’s reading was “Come to God, and God will come to you.” I’ve been searching for you for years, and I need to pray. Dear Jesus, please help my father-in-law, please help him while he recovers from open-heart surgery this Thursday. Please help him through the surgery to be with us for a while. We love him, I l love him. He’s too funny. He has two girlfriends. One is 61, Alisa, and a younger 55-year-old woman. He loves chasing those women around and laughing out loud, LOL. Please help him recover…

Fellowship of Recovery
August 23, 2021 Dear Jesus, good morning! I feel happy that you put Terri in my life. She’s like an old soul, filled with wisdom and knowledge of the fellowship, and is unconditionally loving. Terri is a blessing. Thank you, dear Jesus, for putting Terri in my life. Today I’m happy this morning because I’ve surrendered my life to you because you know me better than I know myself. Today’s reading was about trusting you, and I needed to read the passage, “You are my brother, dear Jesus, and I am your sister.” But I love calling you my father, sweet Jesus, and dear Jesus. I feel a deep sense…

Anxiety and Depression
August 16, 2021 Good morning dear God. Please ease my frustration. Please keep me in your heart today. My anxiety is terrible. Please keep me from getting angry today, also. I know I must pack to go to Ecuador with Fernando at any moment. His father must have surgery this Thursday. Please, dear Jesus, help him through his surgery and allow him to survive his heart surgery. Please heal my anxiety. It’s too much to handle. Last night around 3:15, I woke up in the presence of the evil devil in my bedroom. It scared me. It says in the Bible that the evil one will try to scare you,…

Love God

Your strength keeps me grateful. My faith in you is so important it keeps me focused on “What would Jesus do?” I need to practice patients and tolerance and keep smiling. Please watch over my family and friends. Amen.

Surrender to God
August 10, 2021 Dear Jesus, I surrender all my sins from the past. Please wash away all my sins, and please keep me on the right path. It says in the book that “God Promises”, “But God’s mercy is great, and he loved us very much”. I was spiritually dead inside my heart and my faith. I don’t want to be spiritually sick. Until your grace came over me like a soft blanket covering me from head to toe. I was overwhelmed with love, joy, and a spiritual awakening. I believe it was you, Jesus that came to me in my prayers, I sometimes feel like I am that I’m…

Strength in Recovery
August 9, 2021 Dear Jesus, today I’m tired, but I forgot to say good morning to You. I am much better now. Please help me if I am to take a computer class, I will benefit from it. And hopefully, I can find a nanny job after taking the Red Cross first aid and CPR. This is what I need to work with children. There’s a lot on my plate. Please help me, dear Jesus, to stop worrying. I completely trust You today. You make miracles happen. Please HELP me be strong, and please give me all the love and strength I need. I need to get a part-time job…

Adversity
August 8, 2021, 5:15a.m. Dear God, good morning. I am still trying to wake up at 6: a.m. I’m going on Zoom for a meeting. I love the little book, “God’s promises for every day.” I love this book. It speaks of God’s peace that Jesus is peace, love, and forgiveness. God, please keep me close in your heart. Everything seems to hit me all at once. Today, please give me the strength to see Fernando. We’re looking at houses. Then I must get my vacuum cleaner and the key at Donna’s house. Hopefully, she can find both items. It may be painful to see her if she’s…
