I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard

I heard the answer in my heart, although he spoke not a word.

I didn't ask for wealth of fame, (I knew he wouldn't mind)

I asked for priceless treasures rare of a more lasting kind.

I prayed that he'd be near to you at the start of each new day,

To grant you health and blessings fair,

And friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small,

But that you'd know his loving care,

I prayed the most of all.

Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals.

There are no solutions, no easy answers.

You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside.

Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up.

Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it.

I took this from a friends page, since I am having a tough time right now.  Probably the toughest I have ever had....and I am trying to believe in everything said below....

Sometimes people come into your life and you
know right away that they were meant to be there, to
serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to
help you figure out who you are or who you want to
become.

You never know who these people may be
(possibly your roommate, neighbor, professor, long
lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but
when you lock eyes with them, you know that at any
moment they will affect your life in some profound
way, and sometimes things happen to you that may seem
horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in
reflection you find that without overcoming those
obstacles you would have never realized your
potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by
means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost, moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these
small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the success and downfalls you experience, help tocreate who you are and who you become. Even
the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or break your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but in a way they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. Make every day count, appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be
able to experience it again.

Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let
yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and
believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no
regrets. Most importantly, if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. And learn a lesson in life each day that you
live.

Today is the tomorrow you were worried about
yesterday. Was it worth it?
