Say a Little Prayer

Growing up, I was a religious person who went to church every week, attended seminary in school, and even went to a church school for the first two years of my college education. However, a couple years after leaving the church school, my attendance fell off, as did my scripture reading, and definitely the prayers. The latter because I felt I had no right to ask God for anything when I wasn't meeting my end of the bargain.

The last few months in our house have been rough. Not with our relationships or our marriage, but with life in general. It really feels as though we have days where we're holding tight to each other as a storm rages around us, threatening to bring us to our knees. It always seems to be one thing after another. I feel like I am constantly being drawn and quartered by everything that is going on, and I have days where I literally break down and cry so hard my face goes numb.

A couple of days ago, after a talk with Hubs, I ended up in my bedroom, on my knees. I was praying for the first time in years. Asking God to please help our family. To please help us support the wonderful daughter he blessed us with. The fact that I got to that point tells me I absolutely cannot bear my burden alone, and that I shouldn't try to anymore.

At this time I would like to ask all of my family and blog friends to please say a little prayer for my family that we will get through this, and that we will be provided with what we need to support our family. I appreciate any prayers on our behalf.

I hope you are all doing well and that life is affording you what you need.
