Brothers and sisters, please pray for me. Doctor is reducing the dosage of chemo, as it was apparently killing me! My feet and ankles are swollen and painful and I walk with difficulty. I have a raging skin condition that is causing it to thicken, crack and bleed. Sores in my mouth have returned, making it painful to chew, swallow or spit. My appetite is almost nil. I have been short with the woman I love, which is a sin. This is much worse than the cancer ever was. I have no hope outside of my faith in the Lord’s mercy, and the power of prayer.
Lord, in Your unfathomable mercy, grant me the strength to bear this. I praise Your Holy Name, for I deserve even worse, and merit no mercy of any kind. I am an unworthy servant and deserving only of severe punishment. Lord, take pity upon me, a sinner!
