I need prayer. Today I'm feeling a little depressed. I've had problems with depression many years ago, and ocassionally it rears it ugly head again. I'm physically down, nothing serious, just a headache from eyedrops. I'm having my first cataract surgery Monday and I have to do two kinds of eyedrops three times a day for three days before surgery. My eyes do not like anything in them, the second a drop goes in I immediately get a headache, my whole head - eyes, teeth, nose, etc! My prayer request is for safety and protection of my eyes, and for skill for the doctor! Everyone I've talked to who has had this surgery says it is a snap! I hope I can say this! I know, I'm a big whimp!! LOL! (In three weeks I get to do all this all over again, when I have my right eye done!)I received this prayer this week by email, and in lieu of my whining above I'm posting it as a reminder to all of us, especially me!!

Ah, dear friend, I am praying for you. Much! I pray for safety for you and guidance for the doctor. Two of my friends recently had cataract surgery and it went very well. They are so pleased with the results. You will be held close in the arms of the Father! With prayers and hugs - ~Adrienne~
I understand your anxiety. However, I had this surgery in one eye and now I can see better than I ever have even without glasses. I feel truly blessed to have been able to have the surgery. We live in a wonderful time. You posted a beautiful prayer and it is very comforting. Charlotte and I will be praying for you.
what a blessing medical science is! 100 years ago you wouldn't have been able to have the eye surgery that will not only save, but improve your eyesight. I pray that God guides your physician's hand.
When I feel overwhelmed or depressed, I say the Serenity Prayer. My Dad was an alcoholic, so I learned the Serenity Prayer as a very young girl. It has stayed with me my entire life.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.
Surgery and eye drops are bothersome; won't Heaven be GRAND? Thanks for sharing. Happy Spiritual Sunday.
All of our hope is found in The Word. Thanks for sharing these.
Father God I lift my friend Katherine up to you concerning the surgery she is going to have on her eye. Father be with the Dr. and every medical technitian involved in this surgery. I pray for easing of the headache that she is currently feeling taking the eye drops. Father most of all I pray for your peace that passeth understand to hold Katherine. Father God we thank you that we can come on behalf of others and pray one for another. It is in my Saviors precious, precious name, Jesus, that I pray. Amen

Hi, Katherine:
I feel for you; I get headaches too. No fun! I'm praying for a touch from the Lord for you today. I like the scriptures you posted.
You will be in my prayers, for the surgery and for your depression.
God Bless,
Ginger
Hi Charlotte,
I will be praying for you that your eye surgery will be a success and that your depression will be lifted from you soon.
The worse part about that eye surgery is having to put all those drops in your eyes. You won't feel a thing when the procedure is being performed. I have had both eyes done.
I will just say Amen to Clif's comments. It is natural to feel anxiety when you're having this procedure. I know the Lord will give you the peace and assurance you need to see you through it.
Blessings,
Charlotte
God Bless you Richly!
Still praying!
Praying for you Katherine. Please let me know how you are doing when you can.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I must have overstated how small my plot of grass is. It's large enough I need a regular lawn mower and edger. However, I wouldn't even work up a sweat if it wasn't so hot in Arizona. It's been in the low eighties the last few days. It's a nice time to work outside right now. But by June--look out!
