it is a Dreadful disease, and for many of us it is caught late-stage.
When it is caught late-stage it is so tough to treat, please help us to find the answer, the best way to treat it.

All we want is to find the best way to treat it, and the Medical Profession doesnt give a dang about us, that is most of the Medical Profession.

We have LOST so much, and want to recapture so much of the life we have lost. I hear that if we pray, you may listen, and I hope that you will

look down on us all, and hear this prayer.

Please, dear God/Jesus, help us find a cure, a better way to treat this disease, so that we can live in this fabulous world you created.
Especially the late stage lyme, because this is so difficult. Please light this dark path that we do down, that none of us chose, and touch each one of our minds, to be enlightened with

hope, and be filled with peace, and the will to go on, when many of us have lost the will to go on. I hear you are a wonderful God/Jesus, and I hope and we all pray, that you can help each one of us, find treatment, and healing.

Please hear this prayer.

PS, if this offends anyone, I am sorry, but I recently am back to Catholic Church and prayer after being away for 18 years, and I desperately want to be well, and I hear prayer can help.

God/Jesus please help us all get well. Help the ones with no money, to find treatment someway, and help the Medical Profession, help us more,
the ones with no hope find success with treatment. Help us all in some way to find light because the darkness can be so dark, it just is too dark to go on. Please hear this prayer dear God/Jesus.

Trish

this is really wonderful, but- don't take this personally- you should re-post it in 'general support forum' (and 'up' it there) rather than Medical because the Medical forum is so busy that people's urgent requests for info get buried by all the rapid turnover of posts. This means that quite often people complain that there are too many 'not-quite-on-topic' posts in Medical that make it hard for their questions to stay visible.

It's a really moving prayer, thank you.

Hey Trish,

I'm a very spiritual person and your prayer really tugged at my heartstrings.

There are many times that I look back on a really bad day and think a divine angel must've carried me right through it into the next and better day.

I cannot imagine dealing with this disease with no faith in God and without his presence in my life to guide me. I don't regulary go to church, but I pray every day. Actually, ususally several times a day! Somedays are one long, continuous prayer to get me through it!

At the moment I am having a very hard time putting my thoughts into words, so I will just leave it at this - Your prayer was beautiful and heartfelt - thank you for writing it.

Lauren

If everyone does not mind, I hope that it can stay here, and remain at the top, because

THIS is where we need the help. In the Medical Section.

Is this ok, to keep it here? In the Medical Section? BTW, my brain is not functioning like it should, so I just wrote the best I could now.

Ditto!

I am also happy to see no real objections thus far. A few months ago someone posted a nice poem (not even a prayer) with Christian connotations on the CA Lyme forum, and got slammed for weeks even after apologzing. It's so refreshing to see that the rest of the country (or at least Lymenet) is more tolerant of those who want to share religious ideas and messages.

Thanks Trish! [Smile]

Trish,

May I join you in prayer??

Dear Great heavenly Father,

Father fisrt I ask that I be forgivven for my sins as I know that I a fallen many times. I don't want anything to stand in the way of You hearing my prayer.

Lord, I ask that You will hear out prayers and all who are calling out to You for Your help. Father we pray that You will lead us to the right Dr.'s; we pray that You will somehow edudgucate the many in the medical feild that know nothing about this devasting disease.

Father as you look at what so many have written; as you look into all of the hearts that hurt so badly. So many of us have lost so much, some have lost everything they have, some have lost loved ones, and some have lost the loving spirit they once had.

We ask for Your help Lord with all of these things, Father we have faith that you will either choose to heal us, or lead us in the right direction to be healed.

Thank you for hearing our prayer Lord and help us to keep our faith in You,

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen


Trish, Lauren and others, thank you for your prayers and for given me the opportunity to pray!

God Bless!

Amen to your prayer, and I stand in agreement in Jesus' name.

Dear heavenly Father, we thank You for allowing each of us to see another day. [bow]

We thank You also for this wonderful, supportive group of people who are reaching out to others, sometimes in spite of barely being able to get up out of bed.

Father, forgive us all of our sins, and help us to live in newness of life.

Father, I just lift up each person on this forum and their families.

Provide for their needs today, whether for health, finances, emotional or spiritual well-being. You know what each of us needs.

Father, it's so hard to see Your will in any of this suffering, but I know that You have some purpose in this.

If it is Your will for us to know WHY, then please show us the reason. If it is not Your will for us to know why, then give us peace and comfort, and the grace to bear our burdens each day.

Praisse You Father for this day, and may You receive all glory today.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Trish thanks for writing this. I have always believed in prayer and had a strong faith in God. But after a while with this illness I noticed that I sort of gave up on praying. It was like I couldn't think how to pray or what to ask God for. Thanks for saying a prayer for all of us!

Trish,

Thank you for your prayers and for being bold enough to put yourself out there to all of us like that. Your prayer made me feel peace.

I hope God will help us all. I know He is a good God. We ALL need him so desperately.

I have someone on my mind today that i don't even know but who is a fellow lyme warrior -- her name is Elizabeth and this is her site

www.helpelizabeth.net

A brother of hers posted this on another place on this board. I can't help financially but have prayed and said I would pass along her site to people and this seems to be like a good place. She really needs our prayers and we really need each others prayers.

I hope this is ok to say here. I mean no offense to anybody.

Thank you for the encouragment. coming onto this post I feel like I just walked into a sanctuary and I needed that today.

Feel better in someway today, everybody.

eagle [group hug]

Words of encouragement:

We've just come through the Christmas season when we often hear the term ``Emanuel'' which means God is with us.

We can be assured that He is with us during this tough season of our lives.

There may be times that we feel like he's a hundred miles away but the truth is He wants to carry us through it. Just like the old poem, ``Footprints in the Sand.''

2 Corinthians 12:9 says, ``...My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness...'' The word sufficient here means ``just enough.''

So please find strength in the fact that He'll give us ``just enough'' of what we need to get through the day.

Tomorrow is another day. And He'll give us ``just enough'' then too.

Whether this topic is permitted to remain or not let's commit to one another that we'll continue to pray.

God Bless.
Steve

Great heaverly Father, In Jesus Christ I too stand in agreement with the many prayers here. Father I too am having hard time finding words and spelling. However I have faith in You Lord that even though some fo us cannot find the words we are looking for due to this disease; You hear our prayers. You know our hearts and our needs. Father we thank you for this and may all of the Glory be to you Lord.

Father, thank you for using Trish and all of the others to encourage and give hope to all! Lord thank You for using all who have come together in agreement in comeing to You Lord in this time of need. For reminding us that You are here for all of Your children, all we have to do is reach out for You in faith!!!

Thank You Father for placing a hedge of protection, Your angels for keeping the enemy away from all who are here. For allowing this thread that Trish started, and Lord I pray that You will bless her and all of the others that have joined in and praying to You Lord.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I too, stand in prayer and agreement. The book of Psalm says this, and it came to me one day when I was in prayer over my lyme:

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; ou put everything under his feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

I believe there is a cure and I believe that God will hear our prayers. Dear Lord, in the meantime, give us the grace to live with this disease, as you said, "my grace is sufficient for you" and grant those who have the power to help us with this disease to be willing and able to do so. Grant us the ability to forgive those would, and have, turned us away as far as treatment and help us to move forward towards a cure.

Yes, the power of prayer is amazing!

To Trish for started the most helpful and encouraging thread I've ever seen!!

To all of you who have joined in and supported this thread, and you Trish;
I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH!

I have been telling my husband, my son and some close friends for monthes now that I am going to get back into God's word. I am going to re-gain the close relationship that I once had.

This morning is the first time that I have opened and read my Bible in a very long time!!!
I owe that to all of you and give the Glory to God! Thank you all!

When I was in His word and my Faith so strong that I never worried about anything as I knew that the Lord was in control. (yes, this was when I was sick) I am 44 years old, and I can honestly say that those 3 years was the only time that I have ever had TRUE joy and PEACE; the kind of peace that I never kenew enen existed or was possible.

I have longed for that peace and joy and I know how to have it back. I can only have it again through the Lord. So, thank you once again for making me pick my Bible back up!!!

With continual prayers for all, and much graditude to all and to God!!!

Janet

Hi everyone,

That is great that this thread/post is going so well. I myself never liked to pray for years,
and I walked into the Catholic Church here, one early AM, I actually just barely made it there

I was so sick, and just sat in the tiny chapel
to ask God/Jesus to help me because I had NO hope, and I just had nothing left to give, no strength to breath, and I wanted to end my life,

but it is not easy to end your life when it comes down to it, so I just sat there, and sobbed my eyes out all alone in that tiny chapel, and I left later, and that night, my MIND felt the will to go on, it felt peace and happiness to some degree,

and it got me thinking, hmmmm, maybe there IS some reason there are so many churches out there.
It was the CHURCH that made me feel this way, what was in the church,

now all you people, I am not wanting to preach to you to go to church, because I did not like church or all that it stood for really, the sins and so on, but now, because I have felt something in the church, and read about the Bible and so on, which I keep to myself, as I dont like to preach,

I can see things better, and who else is going to get me well, I am treading on a path I never liked before, but now, I am on it, and it gives me hope and help,

and I have also had help from God/Jesus in ways I would not have thought of, even though I do something WRONG, I am helped in ways I never knew that God/Jesus woudl help me,

which I personally feel for me, this new found
help is teaching me, that God/Jesus is not what I thought he was, he is much more great then I thought,

and, well who knows, maybe things will get better.

I like to read stories of people healed by God/Jesus, and maybe I will be one day, healed in some way?

WHo knows.

I have felt remarkable help in some ways, that I did not know God/Jesus would help me in, so I just keep praying and that is it.

Who knows.

I am just trying to get well.

Amen......very inspirational, thank you. Keep praying, giving gratitude, and asking for guidance for all...He is listening. Maybe if we can get enough people praying things will turn a corner on this dreaded disease.

I am sorry, it is too personal to say how he helped me. I dont want to reveal too much.
I am sorry.

I can just say, even though you go down a wrong path in life, just keep hanging on to God/Jesus because he is there no matter what you do, because he will eventually get you on the right path again.

OK, now, I am knew at all this, I may make mistakes on this thread, but I am learning, so I just do what I have to do to keep hanging on, because sometimes, all this prayer and such wants me to leave this path, but I dont, I just keep going,

I sometimes say no more prayers, and the next few days, I pray some more, and have some NICE help, just modern help, nice help, full of hope for

ME, help for me, in my situation.

So, it is good for me.

I just have hit rock bottom,like many of us, and the will to go on left me, and well, that is how I found the church and praying.

Trish

thanks trish for starting this; guess this was around time my pc was down for 3 days again; i missed seeing this.


thank you lord for the good health we still have left in us and that we may overcome and start the long journey of LYME REMISSION for us all.

we've all struggled so long; decades, years, and some have just recently been bitten by a tick so may be CURED.

please open the doors of congress that our senators/house reps will finally SCHEDULE OUR LYME BILLS, have their heated debate about our lyme war controvery, approve them, and then pres. elect obama SIGNED off making them an official bill.

may idsa guidelines be shown to be wrong; CORRECTED with input from our ILADS drs., signed off, and CDC changing their rules so INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF OUR LYME APPTS., TREATMENTS, MEDS, ETC!

with your guideance lord, may we be able to get OPEN-MINDED drs. who will HEAR us, spend quality time with us, and help find the magic potion to get us well so we all can have quality lives.


please help all those who have lost their jobs, insurance coverage, marriages/kids, homes, filed bankruptcy, and HOMELESS.

in your name, amen. [group hug] [kiss]
