Encouragement & Strength For Warriors Of All Diseases Illness & Pain

by Gloria Newsome
(Lorain, Ohio)

"These are words not jus for the Sarcoidosis Warriors but for ANYONE suffering from any type of disease illness and pain! You are NOT ALONE"

The times when we all fall sick and it is are some of the hardest times too go through in life. Particularly if it is a sickness or a pain that disrupts the course of your normal life and you find that you are so confined by it or by it. Sometimes it’s not the medication that helps but it is truly understanding, support and words of encouragement during those times of sickness and pain thst truly help us the most for no one wants to ever feel alone. One thing that I can tell you from my personal experience is that no matter what your Sickness or Pain is, there is still a reason to HOPE. For these are just trials and tribultions tht we all experience at one point or another in our lives be it us or someone we know, care for or love.

Sickness Pain Loneliness Weariness Separation Loss and even Death can all be so overwhelming but as long as we have GUIDANCE LOVE & SUPPORT we are truly Blessed. God changes people & God changes things. There is no problem circumstance or situation greater than God. Try turning your tragedy into Triumph. Remember you can control your Outlook because God is control of your Outcome!

Because WE ALL go through so much in our everyday lives just trying to survive and living with Sarcoidosis, or some struggles, drama or illness in one form or another, we all need a place to go to to share what is on our hearts and to not feel alone in our struggles. So the ideal is to come to the circle and share what is on your heart..no matter what it is. Please know that ALL your feelings are important and this is a place on Non-Judgment giving Total Love & Respect to one another. Life is hard enough without added stress or troubles...the truth is...If we all spent more time working out the troubles within our own lives we would never have time to hurt, belittle or disrespect others..and please believe me...this Gloria's Prayer Circle is not for that purpose!

In your times of trouble OUR thoughts are there with you. By faith you know the grace of God, And know he's with you too!Sometimes you feel so helpless, you don't know what to do, just turn it over to the Lord, and he will help you through. Think about this: God turns obstacles into opportunities. Every pain in our lives becomes an opportunity to share God's love, grace, faithfulness, and provision. Even when we don't see the "good" in tough times, two facts are always true: 1) God is there to help us through it; and 2) God wants us to use our pain and experiences too help support teach and educate others.

When God comes to heal us it’s final and complete. There is nothing that is lacking when He meets us in our need. Whether it be in our body or the hurt within our soul. He will touch the point of need and will truly make us whole.
His healing is there for you just receive it from the Lord. Believe upon the living word that you can be restored.
Wherever there is weakness He is the strength we need. And He will gently lead us through and heal the heart that bleeds. God comes to restore us to fullness in our God. But Satan has come to devour and to kill, destroy and rob.
But God has won the victory so we need not be afraid. But claim the victory that is ours and no longer live enslaved.
We need to rise up in our faith and not depend on how we feel. Keep on praying and standing firm for our God surely heals.

Everyone needs words of encouragement now in someway. May your life be filled with the Miracles of Blessings as you walk your path each day & give Healing to all those who are feeling Sick Pain Lonely Weary Separated Hurt Lost Abused Tired Unloved FedUpUnwanted Forgotten. You are not alone for Love Strength the Caring Hand of God is ALWAYS there to supply all your needs! Never Give Up Faith or Hope!

Special Prayer:

Our thoughts & prayers for others are Established & Rooted in Unconditional True Love. Please Educate Yourself & give Support too ALL causes for this could be you or someone you Love! Pray for Others as YOU would want them too Pray for You!

May YOU become at all times, both now and forever:
A protector for those without protection.
A guide for those who have lost their way.
A vessel for those with oceans to cross.
A bridge for those with rivers to cross.
A sanctuary for those in danger.
A lamp for those without light.
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter.
And a servant to all in need.
Please help to restore our souls.
Leads us in right paths for your name's sake.
Even though we walk through the darkest valley,we fear no evil, for you are with us.
Steer the vessels of our life, to your quiet harbour, where we can be safe from the storms of sin and conflict.
Show us the course we should take.
Renew in us the gift of discernment, so that we can always see the right direction in which we should go.
And give us the strength and the courage to choose the right course, even when the sea is rough and the waves are high, knowing that through enduring hardship and danger in your name we shall find comfort and peace.
Thank you, Father, for all you have done for us all.
May we not forget you, though the world may turn against us at times.
Though we may fall with our enemies rejoicing about us, it will be your presence that will comfort, and we will still thank you for the incomparable rightness of every moment.
We are a point of light within a greater Light.
We are a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love divine.
We are a point of sacrificial fire focused within the fiery Will of God/Jehovah/Allah or whomever you worship.
And thus we stand.
We are a way by which all men and women may achieve.
We are a source of strength, enabling us to stand.
We are a beam of light, shining upon our way.
And thus we stand.
And standing thus, revolve.
And tread this way the ways of all men and women.
And know the ways of God/Jehovah/Allah or whomever you worship.
And thus we stand.
Bless those of us who mourn, eternal God/Jehovah/Allah or whomever we worship with the comfort of your love
that we may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May our memories become joyful, our days enriched with friendships, and our lives encircled by your love.
Peace be upon us all
Amen.

"I (MzGloria) am a broken vessel. My life has been broken with tragedy, with sorrow , and with pain. But God used me in a way I could share my life with others. God took me, a broken vessel and repaired my brokenness and gave me the talent to write. He gave me the ability to share my thoughts and words with others. I am blessed to be one of God's many “Broken Vessels” and to be able to share what He instills in my heart and soul daily."

I may be a little bit different but please don’t pass me by.
Respect me & love me just the same & please don’t ask me why.
I have been given a special burden of Sarcoidosis & it is my cross I as are many are called to bear.
Please don’t feel pity for me just show me just how much you care.
I may be weak in pain and stumble for my body may not be to strong.
But as I struggle on through life through His strength I am able to carry on for I am a Fighter a Sarcoidosis Warrior
From troubled waters I’ll reach the shore of Peace Joy Happiness & Love.

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.
May a kind word a reassuring touch,a warm smile be yours every day of your life,and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become part of you so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its' form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself and not be dependent on another's judgments of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.


Remember that our limitations do not dictate to who we are. Even when we are feeling that we are a mess let us all put an "S" on our chest cause we are Supermen & Superwomen. Sarcoidosis may be our condition but God is our Physican and TOGETHER we are all better!
