I prayed a lot during this time and I turned the psalms. Especially psalm 109 which begins
"Hold not my peace, Oh God of my praise
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are open upon me They have spoken against me with lying tongue
hey compassed me about also with works of hatred.
For my love they are adversaries
And I give myself unto prayer
And they have rewarded me evil for good....."
Here's the really good part,
"May his days be few...let his children be fatherless let his wife be a widow."
This is the psalm to use when someone is trying to destroy your life, trust me it works. In combination with this I used my priests to come to my husbands bedside and pray. And although I am Episcopalian I don't mind borrow a saint of two from the Catholics when the situation dictates.
It was St. Jude who also helped me through this. Yes that's right St. Jude who is the patron saint of hopeless cases and my case was indeed hopeless. You can go to any Catholic church and ask for a pamphlet on the prayers for St. Jude but what I find really works is saying the novellas for a period of seven to ten days. These are little prayers that are said each time for a certain time and I guarantee are sure to rock your world. Naturally, I have become a big fan of St. Jude and thank him much.
I'd like you all to know I'm back stronger and better then ever. So bless you all!!!
