I prayed for & lit a candle at church today for everyone on this site. I hope it's light somehow reaches you all. We need all the prayers we can get!

I think you did a good thing with a caring heart. Good for you.

As to we all need prayer, yes we do cause we all are sinners and we all suffer pain.

Very true Christopher! I let God down every day, but I know he has not, nor will ever abandoned me. :-) Praying is the only thing that keeps me going.

This is just too sweet. How kind-hearted. Thought you might like to know ...just in case you want to light a candle but are not outside ... there is a beautiful site where you can light candles ...and write on them and even email them. And it is totally free and you don't even have to be a member.

Thankyou for lighting a candle for me. I needed something to get me out of this darkness.

There are two ways to spread the light, to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.

Thnak you for thinking of all of us. I have read several of your posts and appreciate hearing about your struggles with faith. I, too, often feel like I am being punsihed for something and it's nice to know I am not the only one having those feelings. Thank you again

Heidiclark, Yes, I have struggled with my faith, more so in the last year than ever before. I have found that PATIENCE & perserverance seem to be the most valuable traits to practice. I was NOT born to patience, neither of my parents were patient lol. I am Catholic & say the rosary every day, & have been for almost a year. That has helped immensely. I have had a steady stream of "crap" happen to me in the last year. I almost feel like God is preparing me for something bigger.IDK, but I hope I find the strength & resolve to keep praying every day. ((hugs)) & God Bless us all!
