A prayer for anyone infected or affected by AIDS, by someone who's been infected since '87
AIDS! What is it? Where did it come from? Do we really know? Only God knows the true answer. We just have to learn to live with it.

Each day I pray for:

               

                God to give me strength to make it through any obstacle that might be in my way.



                Give me the courage to tell my stories, so that it may help others.



                Give me understanding of other's needs, and not be selfish of my own.



                Give me the peace of mind so that I'm not afraid: Not afraid of facing the sickness; not afraid of dying.



                But, peace of soul to be ready to go when God calls my name.



                And most of all, give me love to share all around.



                Giving encouragement to everyone I meet.



                And to this world that holds so much anger and ignorance; I say to you: AIDS is a disease not a lifestyle; you can't get it from a hug or a handshake. So go out and be nice to someone today. Give a hug or a handshake to someone you know. Chances are they need it.
