I pray and ask for the strength to be strong. For myself, my family... for my friends even. I want everything to be 'okay' and I do an amazing job at acting like everything is okay. I can smile when all I want to do is fall into someone's arms and cry. For someone to tell me that everything is going to be fine. I'm so thankful for the people I have!
I don't think I will share exactly whats going on around here.. but I feel so selfish to ask for prayers. Very selfish. My world has been altered yes, but there is so many worse things going on that need prayers. But I will. I feel I need them.
Please pray for my family and myself... for strength to make it through everyday with a smile on my face that isn't always fake. For some light.. I feel things will only get worse, before they get better. I like to brush that thought away. But I it's true. Please pray..

Oh Nikki! It's okay to ask for prayers! That's what the family of God is for. I'm saying a prayer for you right now and hoping that God brings peace to your situation, whatever it may be. Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for following my blog. Your comment today made my day. :-)
just came over form stacey's blog...
ReplyDeleteand have to agree with her. it is completely ok to ask for prayer. in fact i think that it is in the asking that the healing can begin :)
i think that God designed it that way. so that we can be there for one another.
praying for you. though i might not know the details i can say that i have felt similar pain. smiling when i've felt like crying. trying to be strong when i've felt more than weak.
i pray for strength, peace and a place of rest for you. for the ability to surrender and rest in God's perfect peace.
p.s those pictures are perfect :)
