Debbie - You will be in my thoughts and prayers and you begin your wls journey. I found this prayer that had helped me thru a very difficult divorce right before my wls - I hope it will bring you some comfort as well - It seemed to comfort me....
Dear Heavenly Father, I trust you to write my tomorrows and file my yesterdays in a place that will not harm me. I will await your direction. Give me the courage. Though I long for freedom and victory, I am afraid to venture into such unknown territory. I have forgotten how to laugh, truly laugh and kiss the wind, so bowed over have I been in my despair. You are the lifter of my head. Raise me now and lead me on. I am ready. Ready for change. Ready for deliverance. Ready to experience the fullness of the joy and peace that you have ordained for me. Yes, I am ready. Lead the way in Jesus’ name. Amen
