Our frail spirits often may be overcome by a sense of helplessness that easily may turn to hopelessness as we face the never-ending demands of care for our symptoms. Helplessness is, in itself, a gift from our Loving God who wishes us to turn to Him, in prayer, when we feel abandoned to our illness. Jesus endured pain, suffering, and abandonment on the Cross for each one of us. We too must bear our crosses faithfully and courageously. But we cannot do this alone -- we need His help.
For Christians among us, I offer this little prayer of hope to lighten your burdens:
"Holy Spirit, in You alone I place all my hope as I await my salvation! I beseech You, give me and those You call to service in Your Church the gift of Fortitude. Make us strong so that we will never be overcome by fear as we seek Your way in our lives. May Your Fortitude give us courage to work tirelessly in building Your Kingdom. Your divine Fortitude will help us to bear any suffering or pain with patience and joy; for we no longer fear even death. Your grace will strengthen us and we will accept our death in union with Jesus, our Savior who offered His life for us on the cross. Then we will live forever freed from all pain and suffering. All honor belongs to You, Holy Spirit, as well as to the Father and to the Son. May we bless You for all eternity with the apostles, saints and angels. Amen."
Blessings for you and your family, booniesboy

Don't take my word for this 100% - this is just my own opinion.
I believe there is a God.
This God, our creator speaks through our universe, to us here on earth. Messages warning of what is to come. Clean up the world or suffer the consequences. Disobey the rules and suffer the consequences.
Our Creator, is not someone you want to cross. The insects, and animals know, just talk to your pet, they understand. Cuddle your pets, they will make you well.
No one will ever find the holy grail because it wasn't meant to be found.
The war is over, not beginning.
So walk backwards & be Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
