Prayer for Social Media Depression

          Dear Ruler of the Universe, I'm stuck in cyberspace and no one is paying attention.  Why doesn't anyone "Like" my postings on Facebook, or make a comment when it's particularly obvious that I want one?  GMA has never broadcasted any of my tweets even though I'm #best-fan-ever-209125683. Channel 6 didn't show my "snow-tograph" and it was 'way better than some of the ones they had.  The last time I got an email on Sunday was to tell me I'd won the East Nowhereia Lottery (but I'm not sure it was real).

          Well, Lord, maybe it is true, as some of my so-called friends have said, that I'm swimming in isolation and drowning in self-pity.  I look for personal validation through my online connections and if they don't respond, I freak out and feel like I'm not pleasing them.  Help me want to find help to move me away from depending on disembodied clicks on a web site to give me inner peace.  What is past is past, what is coming is coming.  Help me be in the NOW and love myself first.  Only when I can "like" myself will I be able to accept what others do or do not do, with and for me. I know that it will not be easy but with You beside me, I can find a way.  The second step is taken when I realize that I do need help from outside of myself to get started.  The first step is in turning toward YOU.

Amen.

Prayer for a Diagnosis and Healing

 

           God of Healing, Guide your physicians, nurses, and healers to discover the cause of my illness. Help me stay calm in the face of fear and keep a positive mind and spirit in the face of uncertainty. Also, Lord, I ask your help to feel your strength within me but not to be so strong that I cannot tell those who love me when I really need them close. 

          All this I ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.

I Am a Unique Creation

Welcome to People's Prayers

A blog designed to offer a moment of prayer, meditation, or contemplation

for yourself or on behalf of others

on anything from the Random to the Life Altering to the Mundane

and all that is in between

Dear God of us all, 
       I am a unique creation in Your Image and in Your Image I am marvelously made.  I am a perfect person in Your sight and my presence in this life gives opportunities for so many others.  Some want to learn more about how I am made in order to help others.  Some have discovered and developed gifts they might never have known they had without me showing them the way. Those who know and love me have found new and creative ways to express that love and, by example, inspire and teach others.  

      Today I ask Your special blessings for those difficult moments when I find it hard just to be me. And, please, let those who care for me feel the healing comfort of Your Presence.  I ask especially for You to awaken those who have yet to learn how to be with me without looking past me; that they may also see themselves as unique creations in Your Image. Please help each of us to see Your Light in ourselves and in each other.  Amen.
