An excerpt from my second book Eternus Spirare, it has quite a history in itself, handwritten in and out of jail for 18 months, (contempt) it was stolen and destroyed just days after completion. It had to be rewritten over the course of another year before going to print.
It has an entire section of supplications and prayers similar to The Book of Psalms. "Obsecrationibus et orationibus"
for the power of a prayer is one of the greatest gifts to all of life.”
"My loss truly a great one, I cry out to you in my grief, through my pain and sorrow. I declare my faith in you O’ God so you may bring peace to my grieving heart, comfort to my aching soul, that you may look upon me and grant me mercy as I suffer now at the thoughts of fear. I take refuge in you and I hold dearly onto your excellent word. O’ Lord bring to my spirit great peace; and comfort me in your love. Troubled and confused my afflictions and torment continue, relieve me O’ Lord for I do not understand why such a lesson must endure. Teach me the ways of your truth and give me great understanding so I may walk in your light and true righteousness all of the days of my life. Let your grace be with me always and let every storm pass over me. For in you Lord I know there is great joy and wonderful peace. Give to me strength and protect me O God from every affliction." Amen
This prayer was how I felt having sacrificed time with my youngest son to answer the call. I knew what I faced wouldn't be easy, and so I prayed. I prayed for guidance, support, and encouragement. I prayed God would lift me up in my time of sorrow and direct my steps to a better life.
And He did!
