Dear God,

Sorry, but I’m a day late. Happy Birthday, Jesus. God, will you please help my mom? She’s awfully sick and I’m totally worried about her. Just please make her feel better; you have the ability to heal the weak and bring out the strength in people, I’m just asking for you to make my mom feel better. I get so scared when I hear her in the middle of night, yelling about a headache and all. I’m sure my little brother is just as scared as I am. I don’t know if it’s anything severe, but just please help her.

My dad may need your help too. He’s sick as well and they both mean so much to me. So, if you can, please help them. I know I already prayed for this inreallife tonight, but I just want to be reassured that my prayer will be heard. Put aside my prayers I’ve made to increase the satisfaction towards my social life; my parents mean more to me than my own life. Just please don’t let anything harmful happen to them. Thanks. I love you.
