Thank you for the comment, Trudy. The LORD loves for us to hand over our heart-aches and hardships to HIM, as you have done. I think it must be one of HIS greatest joys to know that we are trusting in HIM to take care of things for us. I am praying with you in agreement, where to or three are gathered in my name, and I do believe though physically apart if our souls are together in prayer that’s all that matters. I don’t know what you are taking medication for but I do pray it helps you and I don’t know the situation with your children but I can tell you that trusting it with the LORD our GOD is the best and only way to come to any solution. GOD bless you and may HE be with you throughout the new year.

My beautiful,spirited daughter passed January 3 2007. I found this Litany on her desk. She stated as a last line, “I will thank you everyday of my life; “I” (Rae) “added this one”
I would like permission to submit this this littany to be included in A tribute to her memory, February 9, 2008, at the Richmond Art Center, Richmond California.
Thank you for this consideration. I remain in waiting.

I’ve seen some rough times time im seeing now, but I’ve also seen alot of good and im sure that your gonna tuen things around for e and gilbert and help our relationship and restore it, I have faight that you will keep him safe and sound and bring him home to me so we can get married and fianlly live our happily ever after together.

Thank You, Dear God, that I’m still breathing. Thank you that you allowed me to see how You feel when You say that You are a jealous God and to not have any other gods before you by allowing me to marry a man who turned out not to be a Christian, but a Muslim, instead, who always put everyone else, including himself, before me, having no passion for me and flirting with other women in front of me, etc. Thank you that my daughter and me were not physically harmed when he drove the moving van out of that parking lot with us still asleep in the car in tow behind it. Thank you that the jail warden didn’t “Spray the f@#% out of me!” as he swore he would when the 5 or 6 of them came to my cell because I kept knocking to get their attention because I was thirsty and knew I was in for a migraine if I didn’t stay hydrated. Thank you that the crazy man in the cell next to me that was cursing through all my praise songs that night, the next morning was saying he got down on his knees and prayed to Jesus and that he is going to Heaven. All the honor and glory and praise goes to You..Let God be Magnified! Thank you that even though I called the police because the man I married was treating me roughly, thank you that I got to spend the 12 hours in jail for scratching him and didn’t let my bruises show up until a day or 2 later…perhaps my being there made an eternal difference in someone’s life. Thank you for helping me get over the bitterness of the nightmare of that night and this “marriage”. Thank you that even though my child’s heart broke when she saw me handcuffed, that this is a lesson to her to know of the consequences of decisions made outside of Your perfect will.
Thank you, Precious Lord, for allowing me to know rejection, Lord, from my husband that You didn’t pick out for me. This has taught me to wait on You next time. Thank you Lord, ahead of time, for granting me the annulment, even though I don’t have the money to give the lawyer to work on the case, I pray that TRUTH will prevail, Lord, because you know that I do have legal grounds for an annulment. Thank you that I’m unemployed for so long, even though I don’t understand it, had it not been for not getting hired anywhere, I would not have thought of these TWO businesses to start. Thank you ahead of time, Dear God, for blessing my payroll business so that I can work from my own home and bring my daughter home to homeschool her on the internet or cd’s. God, thank you for blessing me with good ideas on how to take care of us. Thank you ahead of time for the miracle You are about to perform to get me that back rent I owe to save us from becoming homeless in the nick of time! Also, thank you ahead of time for getting me that 3 months worth of car payments that I owe so that I won’t loose my transportation. God of heaven and of all the earth, thank you that you are a just God and that you love life, and that You are very sweet. Thank you that you are helping me to forgive all those people who have hurt me in the past from my childhood on up through now. Thank you for the sacrifice and suffering Jesus did on that cross in order to take the punishment for my sins. Thank you for giving me a hope and a future, even though I don’t feel it right now, Dear God. Even though all I feel like doing is crying, I pray that those wings mentioned in Psalms are covering me and that you will be my help in this immense time of need. Thank you, Dear God, for coming through for me…please hurry! And thank you for letting me find this website to remind me to thank you in all things. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen

Thank you God for giving me a great mom, if only for a short while. I want to thank you for walking with me through rought times. When I wanted to give up, you gave me your hand and gave me courage. At times when I didn’t believe in myself, you gave me proof I could do anything. I am seeing darkness again and I need to feel your presense. My brother and I have been jobless for awhile as many other people are at this time. You have never let us down, and I am truly grateful. I trust in you.

Thank you for this beautiful prayer. It was a reminder to me that we must always priase God during the “storms” in our lives, and just trust him. I too, during my job hunt, Googled, “Dear God, What am I going to do with my life?” and this was the first thing that popped up. Sometimes I wish God had an email address, so I could tell him my problems, and get a written response. I’m not always very good about tuning my ear to hear him. But then when I come across things like this, he speaks through others, and I find my answer. I needed to hear this, thank you.

Thank You God for all the trials that you have given me. So many times I want to quit and give up my life, but you kept me going. At this moment I don’t know where I am headed exactly. My illness has changed me for better, I trust in you that I will have victory over it and reborn to be a better man and your son. Only with your strength and support, I can keep going…..and going…not giving up.
Amen.
