Prayers

I had another happier post waiting in the wings, and yet I'm writing this with a fearful heart. My gram is sick. And not the ordinary have-a-cold kind of sick. It's the kind of sickness that makes my mom enforce her medical power of attorney and is currently trying to get her admitted to the hospital. It's hard not letting my thoughts run away with themselves, and though nothing bad has happened, my first thought is that I could possibly be homeless sooner rather than later. For better or worse, Gram is my other half even though I complain about her a lot. We're lucky to have had her this long but I have always refused to believe that God would ever take her. But before I really get a head of myself, I'd like to ask for prayers for healing for her.

Sincerely,

~O Christ, Who alone art our Defender: Visit and heal Thy suffering servant Betty, delivering her from sickness and grievous pains. Raise her up that she may sing to Thee and praise Thee without ceasing, through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Thou Who alone lovest mankind.~
