Dear God, it's me Sarah...

Please keep us calm, strong and together.  Please give us all the peace to get some much needed rest.  Help us to remember we must take care of ourselves so we can be the absolute best support for Dad.  Please watch over him and speed his recovery.  Please give us all the strength You know we need and calm our minds when we need it.  Please hear all the prayers from everyone who is sending their thoughts to Dad and our family. Give us patience with each other as we embark on this new chapter.  Help us learn the lessons You intend for us.  Help us hear Your voice when you are speaking to us.  Help us feel Your embrace when you hold us.  Please allow us to let go of negative energy so we can focus our minds & our hearts where they should be focused.  Let us lean on each other when we need to, give hugs often and keep our hearts always praying.  Thank You for the gift of our family and give us all courage, conviction and fighting spirits.  Amen.
