Dear God,

I am feeling so lost and disconnected.  How can that be?  Thank you for helping me get to sleep last night, it just wasn't the same without the sound of Dean's breathing next to me.  It is amazing how we come to value and miss those little things.   I had a small glimmer of what wives and husbands of military people go through, but last night being alone and missing my partner in crime gave me a whole new appreciation for what they go through.  I've only had to experience it for one night these brave men and women deal with it on a regular basis.  God give them strength they need to get through each day.  Bring people into their lives that will help them cope and to get the relief from the stress that they need.

I am waiting to hear what is going to happen to my dear sweet  love of my life.  I am scared and nervous.  I hate that he is in pain, but glad that it appears the pain isn't being caused by his heart (at least so far).  Keep my faith strong no matter what this day brings.  I am placing Dean in you hand.  Please keep him safe and protect him.  I didn't realize how much I need him until he wasn't there last night.  I am scared!  God I can't take much more of this.  Please let this be something minor.  My heart is so full that I can't even begin to express my hearts desire.

You can see into the deep dark places of my heart.  Please see my heart's desire and calm my spirit.  Give Dean and I the strength we need to face the day.  Help me to sense your presence throughout the coming day.  Thank you!

Love,
Lori
