Hear my prayers

Lord In moments of despair
Let me feel your presence everywhere
Guide me forward with healing and strength
May I find comfort the whole journey’s length

Every step forward Is a testament to my resilience
Fill my life with creativity imagination brilliance
Each day renew my heart with a joyful release
Give me the courage to pursue a life of peace

As I walk this path, help me surround myself
with support from those who truly care.
knowing they are always there
Even when I’m lost in despair

Let me know that every challenge I face.
Comes from your loving grace
I am not alone there is always hope
Life is more then a struggling to cope
For brighter tomorrows
Lord let me learn from my sorrows

Dear God in your loving arms lift me up.
Let me drink from your salvation cup
I am caught in the grip of addiction.
Pain is a constant relentless friction

In silence,You can see the battles I fight
Struggling to survive the endless night
Only you know why countless tears I cry
Hidden pain beneath my eyes

I struggle falter with a broken heart
Bring me closer, Lord never to Part
In my weakness, you carry me
You opened my eyes to see

Show me your strength and Grace
Look upon me kindly with your loving face

Let me Break the pain chains that bind
Allow me the wisdom answers to find
With every craving give me power
To weather each painful hour

My tired ravished body desires rest and peace
Until the cravings forever cease
Replace my inner voice with a new choice
Every lie with truth All my shame without blame

I have much to atone Remind me, I am not alone
I am NOT beyond healing
Fill me with a peaceful easy feeling
Bestow upon me, blessings from up above

Jesus said no story is too far gone
It’s always darkest before the dawn
Give me courage for today and hope for tomorrow
To conquer any sadness any depression any sorrow

And if I fall, help me rise up again and stay strong
Walk beside me through darkness all night long
Until I find the light through my hardest fight
Bestow upon me, blessings of love from up above

In the name of
The Father, The Son,
and The Holy Spirit

In your powerful name
AMEN

Footnotes
My comments are the SALIENT points highlighting the war on drugs and the pharmacies that are going under. ( to use a you EUPHEMISM) Too many people needing medication and it’s breaking the system. They are rationing out pain meds to every pharmacy if you need a medication and you’re near the first of the month you’re good by the middle of the month Your chances are dicey
by the end of the month not going to happen they’re out.. these are not my words. These are the words of the head pharmacist in more than one pharmacy.

BLT Webster’s word of the day
1) AUGUST 19 EUPHEMISM
A euphemism is a mild pleasant word or phrase that is used instead of one that is unpleasant or offensive instead of they died, they went under.
2) August 20 SALIENT
something described as salient is very important or notable
Both words are used in the footnotes above
I live in chronic pain . My doctor of 23 years passed away. The war on drugs is here.. What was considered safe yesterday is now a threat of overdose today (they say).
So the powers that be decided they need to do away with all pain medicine. Congress tried this once before, it lasted 2 1/2 months but there is not any real choice .when you have medical conditions that will never go away.. My Doctor Who administered my pain medication passed away. A zealous young doctor on board with the program appealed this new approach. One month later everybody’s back on their normal medicine. I don’t wanna know about the casualties of this drug war. I only know what happened to me. And I was almost a casualty.. would you have medication that have more adverse effects than the benefits? It becomes a dicey proposition to wanna try a new medication. During the course of trying new medication’s I’ve had several anaphylactic’s throat closing 911 ambulance because of a new medicine. That’s the real threat. Not a medication you’ve been on for so long. You have no side effects. But you’re out there mercy if you speak up, they can drop you from the program. And the pharmacies are crashing. CVS went under Rite Aid pharmacy went under, and Walgreens is in trouble. Even if a doctor prescribes it, the pharmacy could deny that script and dictate to the doctor what he can and cannot give the patient. pharmacist are not doctors. They have not seen the patient. And it’s not just pain meds. It’s all medication under suspect to the jurisdiction of prudence with the pharmacist. I’m on Oxygen. I had a pharmacist. Tell me I’m on too many allergy medicines. And I should do deep breathing exercise but if I did with this individual was trying to get me to do I would have hyperventilated. Very dangerous when a pharmacist place doctor..
