worries into prayers._

Sameera,

My dear

I too have occasionally been through agonizing, torture times. I have won prizes for acting… so I can generally cover up and no one can even guess. I didn’t talk about these to anyone… couldn’t talk to anyone.

And I felt helpless and afraid about how it would all end.

Recently, while going through a very distressing month of this, I picked up something that turned things around completely. It was a paraphrased line from the Bible.

breathless halt

brief respite

sit down, lean back,

rest recover

wonder the journey done

worry the journey ahead

where will it all end

when will it all end

sunlight shadow trails

grass strewn patch paths

clear unclear uncertain

doubts anxieties worries

unsettled rest

unsatisfying answers

elusive peace

haunting banshee within

relentlessly tirelessly

gut wrenching …

at panic edge a whisper breeze

turn your worries into prayers

this too shall pass

all will be well…

That is a really comforting thought and I have ample personal proof that it happens.

Sometimes it takes a bit longer but it happens. Again and yet again. All will be well…

And by turning my worries into prayers I can deal with the rough and tumble of difficult times that life brings my way.

You do that too.

And you have my own prayers adding to yours for greater effect.

All will be well for you. This is not a wish. It is a prophecy

Take care. Stay well. Turn your worries into prayers.

Love, Terry
