I know this may sound odd, but mom has been through just about everything a person could probably go through. I know she is tired. But I don't want her to be alone anymore. My prayer is that mom will find someone who will change her beliefs about love and will actually show her love is work, but not always pain. Someone to hold her when she hurts. Calm her after a nightmare. Someone who wants her for her, not her body. But for all of her.
So I am asking for us to keep her in our prayers and while it may be odd that I am not asking for her to find God, I think that if she could find love, God would follow.
I pray mom finds love, comfort, and peace. Would anyone care to add?

I know that how many people pray for mom isn't really important. But I honestly think that if she can see how perfect strangers can and do care, mom might find her way. The voices of encouragement here and in the prayer request can't go unnoticed by her. Whenever she wakes up during her infusions, I have been trying to keep her laptop open the prayer request thread in this subforum so they are the first words she sees.
Granted, I often irritate her more than anything else, but I still think it is penetrating that thick skulled head of hers. I don't say a word. I just make sure she reads how we care compared to how non-theists don't. She could die tomorrow and while some non-theists might pass along the same sentiment they have passed on to the loss of Cnormans dearest friend, most, wouldn't even see her missing. The unity of us is what makes us special. And I think it is the unity and the path to love that will help mom the most.
United we stand, divided we fall. I forget who actually said that, but it doesn't' really matter. Non-theists can throw logic, reasoning, and the scientific method at us all they want. Let them ridicule us because of our beliefs. Because of our faith. At least we have something. It is better than nothing. At least we stand on a foundation that is meaningful. One that offers eternal hope.
Without God, mom will never know love. She has made it such a scientific concept that nothing natural will overcome it. I know this. And I think on some level, even she does. But "I can do all things with Christ as my strength" and I firmly believe this. Christ is the link that mom is missing. Every night my prayer are the same. That God might show mom love so that she might find His path to Him on her own, as we are all meant to.

Its all just one big puzzle.

Alexiarose bless you for your beautiful love for your mother. I know there are many people here believers and non-believers who Love you mom very much, they empathize with her. Some may even feel her pain. You're right that it doesn't matter how many pray for your mom. But I think it's beautiful that so many DO CARE about her and you and your family. If this wasn't a Christian only place I'm sure some of them non-believers would express their sincere desire and honest wishes for her healing.
I thank for your sincere and strong faith in Christ and God. I thank and Praise you're mom for reading you that bedtime prayer when you we're young. Sometimes it's the strangest little thing that makes such a big difference in your. I pray that your prayers are answered also Alexiarose you have been a stalwart of strength for your family, even if you don't think so...you have.
Jesus never prayed as a religious duty.
To him prayer was:
a sincere expression of spiritual attitude,
a declaration of soul loyalty,
a recital of personal devotion,
an expression of thanksgiving,
an avoidance of emotional tension,
a prevention of conflict,
an exaltation of intellection,
an ennoblement of desire,
a vindication of moral decision,
an enrichment of thought,
an invigoration of higher inclinations,
a consecration of impulse,
a clarification of viewpoint,
a declaration of faith,
a transcendental surrender of will,
a sublime assertion of confidence,
a revelation of courage,
the proclamation of discovery,
a confession of supreme devotion,
the validation of consecration,
a technique for the adjustment of difficulties,
and the mighty mobilization of the combined soul powers to withstand all human tendencies toward selfishness, evil, and sin.
He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father's will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. The secret of his unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere worship--unbroken communion with God--and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices.

Lord it's me again. You old friend and servant, joer. I'm here to ask you again to watch over, give strength and healing in Body, Spirit and mind to my friend Confused. She is such a wonderful human being, full of love for her family and fellow human beings. You can see it over and over again on these threads how see has compassion for her fellow human beings. And tolerance for those that might come across a bit mischievous at times. As a moderator she is just and fair. As a mother you can judge her by the love her daughter Alexiarose has shown for her on this forum. I'm sure her other children as well are products of and shine forth her Love from their hearts.
I came across this Healing Prayer a few days ago as I was cleaning up my desk and it immediately brought my friend Confused to mind as well as myself and I thought to pray it for her and all those on this site or who visit this site who may be in need of healing.
Lord God Almighty through thy Son Jesus, and the power of your Holy Spirit, I ask for healing for all of us here who may be and are in need of it. YOU know who we are. You know what we need. Let it be in accordance with thy will that we be healed in thy Name and Being and the name and being of a your Son and Holy Spirit. Amen/Awomen.
Healing Prayer
Lord God,
Make me an instrument of Your Healing:
When I am weak and in pain, help me to rest;
When I am anxious, help me to wait;
When I am fearful, help me to trust;
When I am lonely, help me to love;
When I place you apart from me,
Help me to know You are near.
Healing God, grant me not so much to demand
Everything from myself as to let others help me;
Nor to expect others to cure me
As to do own part toward getting better.
Grant me not so much to seek escape,
As to face myself and learn the depths
Of Your Love. For it is in being uncertain
and not in control, that we find true faith,
in knowing the limits of mind and body
that we find wholeness of spirit, and in
passing through death that we find life
that lasts forever.
Thank You Lord.....Thank You.

Yes, I am praying for your mom. She is someone very special, unique. We PM from time to time and have discussed many things. I am terribly fond of her. I purposely avoid debating her because I just can't bring myself to argument with someone I think so much of. I read most of her posts though. I also pray for your brother A. You have a very special mom! She loves you and your siblings very very much. Many Christian Theists could take a lesson from her in many ways.
I do!

Heavenly Father, I lift up Confused to you. I ask for a mighty miracle in her life. Comfort her and fill her with strength. Though the situation might not look the best, please don't allow her to give in, but to be filled with hope. I'm not sure where she stands in her faith journey, but continue to guide her and to direct things. Give her family peace and strength too at this time. I pray in the special name of Jesus. Amen.

Lord hear Alexia's prayers let her love and compassion touch your heart. Let her and all here who pray for Confused's healing have their prayers answer. I have no right to ask you anything Lord. I'm a poor example of your servant Lord. But I love you Lord and I KNOW you Love Confused Lord. And I know if it is possible in accordance with our Father's Will Lord, That you will do all you can not because I humbly ask but because of your great Love for Confused.alexiarose wrote:otseng wrote:Heavenly Father, I lift up Confused to you.
