from the valley of doubt and despair

For the past few months, my mantra has been one of pain, sorrow and suffering. I have been on quite an up and mostly down ride. I have tried to stay positive, but recent events have taken me down into a deep, dark valley.

I am trying to emerge from this valley of darkness and despair. I am not alone, but it sure feels like it. It has been hard to be positive when in constant pain.

Financial reality has also set in. I just received my first pay check of the new fiscal year, its half of what it used to be. So, now on top of my not feeling well physically, my finances are taking a big hit.

My request is for you to pray for me. Ask God to open the heavens above me. Ask Him to bless me financially and to heal my body, soul, mind and spirit. Ask Him to lift me up and carry me out of the pit. Ask the Lord to bless me with more hope. Pray that I would know more of His grace and mercy.

Pray that God would deliver me from my present circumstances. Ask Him to bless me with His favor and open new doors of career opportunities. Pray that God would cover and protect my home, that I would not lose it during his season of financial turmoil.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

Rick
