In need of guidance

I finally deleted my other prayer requests. I just don't know where to go from here without my husband. It seems like he has been gone so long because he was in the hospital for the last month before he died. Now I have to go on living without him and I don't know how to do that? Please help me find the strength to go forward somehow without him. I pray this in Jesus most precious name

Update - about 1 month ago:

i went to church the first time without Michael it was so hard I just broke down

Update - 28 days ago:

I took michele to the train station this evening so she could go back to school and tie things up there. It's just me and my youngest daughter kimmy - its so quiet here

Update - 28 days ago:

First day back at work in over a month. It wasn't so bad except when I was leaving i realized i was coming home to an empty house. I know I am probably making things worse for myself by thinking like that but i don't know how to think differently

Update - 27 days ago:

It seems like things aren't getting easier they are getting harder and harder

Update - 25 days ago:

Today was a bit better than yesterday i know there are many ups and downs to come but am trying to take it one day at a time

Update - 25 days ago:

taking baby steps

Update - 23 days ago:

As reality is slowly sinking in now I'm trying not to worry about the lack of finances please pray

Update - 21 days ago:

I think I'm sliding backwards again. Dear Lord please hear my prayers I need you so much right now. I don't know what to do. I feel so lost and like I have died as well.

Update - 21 days ago:

I've finally realized that it is Satan that is putting all these thoughts into my head and I'm fighting it as hard as I can. I know that Michael wouldn't want me to keep reliving all the pain he was in and all those terrible memories that keep popping into my head. I know that no matter what I would have done there was no way for me to change the outcome of what happened that it was God's will and it was Michael's time to go. If I can just keep holding on to that and quit reliving the agony and all the what if's then maybe I can start to move forward with God's help and all of your prayers. thank you so much for all of your prayers they are helping me even when I don't know it

Update - 19 days ago:

Stayed with my mom while my daughters are away still too soon to be home alone I guess. Today was harder than yesterday so I guess it will be alot of flip flopping back and forth.

Update - 18 days ago:

So tired and praying for a better day today. God bless everyone for their prayers

Update - 16 days ago:

I spent the last 4 days with my mom. It was strange not being in my own home at night but it was a blessing to spend time with my mom just the two of us. Alot of tears but also alot of love. Thank you for being here for me I don't know what I would do without all you wonderful caring people God Bless you all and I hope your prayers are answered

Update - 13 days ago:

I'm just going through the motions of life not living just trying to make it through each day. I don't know what I'm doing from one moment to the next. I'm okay for an hour or two and then bam I'm right back down again. I was going to try and quit smoking again especially when I thought Michael was going to be coming home but now it seems impossible. so many worries so much sadness.

Update - 12 days ago:

The day started out ok but then it went downhill from there. I'm trying to turn it around but it is so hard

Update - 10 days ago:

I want to thank everyone for their prayers again today was 1 month since michael died and I really felt at peace today I know it was because of all your prayers and the Lord was with me. I'm praying my birthday tomorrow will be peaceful as well.

Update - 7 days ago:

Still praying everyday that things will continue to get better. God bless everyone for their continued prayers for me. They mean so much to me

Update - 4 days ago:

Trying to stay strong and keep moving forward even when I seem to go backward. I pray the Lord is with me every step of the way

Thank you so much for your prayers. I am really sorry I have not had time to pray on the site for you but please know you are always in my prayers, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers sent up for me! Much Love~Amber

O God:
From our world of worry and strife we call on thee. From the ills of mind and body we pray for relief. From the gnawing of uncertainty of the future, deliver us to thoughts of hope.

We rejoice in, celebrate, and experience with gratitude -painless and happy days, encouragement received and tasks achieved, work to do, friends to love, loads to lift, hope to share.

Amen.

Lori, I am still praying for you. I prayed really intensely this morning while I was praying for my own cause. You and Michele have a special place in my heart and I am not sure why? You both seem like wonderful people. I am sorry I haven’t been praying more lately, but I have been caught up in my own thoughts these days. Sorry.

Precious Lord I praise you for the ways you have blessed my family. I ask jesus that you can come into our hearts, our lives, and continue to bless us. Lord I pray Jesus that you can help mend my mothers heart, help her through this time of grief. I ask Lord to send people and opprotuntities into her life on a daily basis that wil lcomfort her, and give her peace.Lord I pray also for her body. Lord we know that grief can really wear down a body, make us exhausted and cause aches and pains. I ask Lord that you can cleanse her body, wash over her and heal her from head to toe. I ask Lord that she would wake in the morning with a bounce in her step, feeling rested, rejuvinated and excited for what the day will bring. Lord I pray that you can help bring comfort to hear aching muscles, her shoulders, her back. I ask jesus that you would bless her body and bring her peace. Lord I pray that you can be with her, holding her hand as she goes to work, deals with customers, and then comes home later in the afternoon. I ask Lord that you can help her recieve this promotion at work, to deal with her manager and that you would bring a peace of mind. Lord I ask Jesus that you would help ease my moms mind, where there is worry give her peace. Where there is anxiety give her hope. Where there is fear, give her faith. Lord I miss Michael very much, and have been very blessed by knowing him. I pray that today my mom can be reminded that Michael's memory lives on, and that one day it wont hurt so much. I pray Lord for your continued guidance and wisdom, we ask Lord that you would light our path. Show us where to go, and we will follow. Lord please be with us as we travel down this new road, comfort us and encourage us, fill us with your holy spirit, and draw near to us. Hold us in your arms and never let us go, Lord never let us go. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
