Desperate Prayers...

[TSGG]

[i]For my friend, Richelle, who is still in an inpatient eating disorder program.
For my friend, Larry, who keeps getting sick and who I fear may die soon from some AIDS-related ailment.
For my sister, Erin, who is trying her hardest to develop a relationship with her "heathen" brother and is learning to accept me as I am.
For my mother, Cynthia, who could try harder to learn to love and accept me.
For my father, Henry, that he will let go of the businesses and law cases that are running him and my mother into more debt and that he will be able to find something more profitable, so that they can retire.
For all of my friends struggling with identity issues, college, mental health issues, physical health issues, and other life issues.
For myself, that I might have the strength to get through this semester without having a nervous breakdown and self destructing; that I will be able to afford food and medication next month; that I will be guided on the path I must take and protected from harm; that I will learn to love myself; that I will learn to live without a partner, inshAllah; or that my wife will come into my life soon, inshAllah.
For all these things, I pray in the Powerful Name of the Most High, Amen. K'eyn y'hi ratzon.[/i]
