Heavenly Father
Please be very near to Joe and Diane this day. Fill their hearts with the light of your love. Renew their faith and trust so that they may ‘run and not grow weary’. Grant them a joy and hope for eternity. Pour blessing and grace upon them and grant them a steadfast Spirit. May your Holy Spirit rest upon them, giving them comfort, secure in the knowledge that you love them so very much. Unite them through your own self. Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy on them. Jesus, who knew such suffering yourself, grant them your peace
Amen
 
You are in my thoughts and prayers Diane. May the Lord be with both you and your husband!
 
Lets say a prayer for Diane & Her husband , & all the people across the world who are suffering badly
 
First, thank you so much for your prayers. Joe had chemo on Monday and this time it was a little easier…He had his first visit with a (new) family doctor since we have moved up to Pennsylvania. This new dr. seemed genuinely to care and offer hope for Joe. It lifted his spirits quite a bit. He doesn’t want to do anything though…just stays indoors and I regret that I must constantly battle with him to eat nutriton, etc. His children came over last night and brought the precious little new (1 yr old) baby girl with them. This lifted his spirits for a while but then he got sad and was talking to them through tears. They spent most of the night talking about his ex-wife, her house (that he paid for) andhow she was doing…it was hard for me to hold my tongue (she lives up here). Please keep him in your prayers…I am holding each of you in mine. I know you (we) all have our plates pretty full and I love each of you and pray for you every night. God Bless You, my dear, dear, friends. Diane
 
This morning, in the church, you both, were in my prayer.
I asked Jesus, in His holy day of birth, to flood His gifts to you and your husband. May you receive His comfort and peace. Tarek
 
Things are not going very well and I think now Joe wants a trial separation. I do not know why. Now that he has me in Philly, he wants only his brothers, sisters and kids. This is going to be a brand new struggle for me because my 84 year old mother lives with us. I did not want to come up here from Florida but he started threateneing separation if I did not come …so I came. I don’t like it here though…too cold after being in Florida for so many years. He was choking this morning and I helped him. He thanked me for saving his life. Then we went to visit 2 of his brothers and then he called and had a super chatty conversation with his daughter (who is unmarried, has a child and lives with the ex and wants to move out)…and now he is trying to have arguments to make me believe the sun is black and I won’t permit it. I do not know what we are going to do. But I need some prayers and guidance. This could be the chemo talking but I can’t be sure. I’m starting to send resumes back to Orlando…Oh, God , why is this happening?

O Diane it seems neverending. I wonder if all his treatment has affected his mind that he doesn’t wholeheartedly appreciate all your love and goodness. You don’t deserve all this. Maybe he’s just desperate and doesn’t know how to think straight any more.

Where is your support. He seems to have so much, and honestly is thinking of himself and not you, but where is your support and family…only your sick and depressed mother it seems.

I beg Jesus to help you think what He wishes for you. Jesus please grant Diane peace and happiness.
 
Dear Jesus
Please be Diane’s comforter and guide. Please send her people to support and help her in this difficult time. Flood her heart with your love and grace. Enable her get through each day, secure in hope and in the knowledge that you are always with her and long to gather her in your arms. Fill her heart with the truth and the joy of your presence among us.

Amen
 
First thank you once again for your prayers. I feel uplifted by the grace of God this morning and I know it is because of your prayers. I have decided NOT to leave. This is my home, too. Last night was particular ugly. Joe was just so aggravating…kind of like trying to convince me the sky is black when I know it is blue. My stress level is at an all time high so I am thinking about checking into some yoga/meditation classes at the local YMCA if I can afford it. The apartment we are in also has a fitness center so I am going to make an effort to go there every day to see if it helps release some of this stress. He was not talking to me last night after a particularly ugly day. He even told his brother that “granny (my mom) has been with us over 5 years” in a very very mean way…I refuse to let him hurt my mother like that but when I say something to him …he just gets so mad at me. He told me he feels better now that he with his “family” and the “people that love him”…(this has been said before)…I am at my wit’s end. I am not giving up though…I am not going back to Florida. I am here with my Mom and I made a promise to my Dad before he died that I would take care of her. Somehow, some way. …I know that there is an answer…Please keep praying for us…this is just gotten so out of hand and up until this morning all I do is cry (yesterday at Joe’s brother’s house [after he said those mean things about my mom–and she was in the room] he went upstairs to use the bathroom and I started crying…his family was very comforting to me and told me to hang in there and that his acting out like this is from what he is going through)…Once again my dear dear friends…i hold each of you dear to my heart and pray for you…I love you all. Diane
 
Dear Diane … as you know, “who stands firms to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10: 22). I still praying for you to continue standing firm as we have known you.
Warmly Tarek

Sounds like he is testing you. He is asking himself is she going to stay with me as I die? Who can I count on? He’s scared. I did the same thing is some extent when I was sick, until I had a talk with my wife about her trying to find someone else and move on if I died. When I trusted God to take care of my wife and let go of my controling nature is when I found peace with it, then I started to heal. I think he is pushing you away for control’s sake because he feels no control over life and death and is putting up a wall, resisting letting go. I still pray for you and him and hope you two find peace. Tim
 
I’m praying for your situation, that you stay strong in the faith.

God Bless you,

Hilary
