Help

I had a terrible nightmare Tues/Wed night. I woke up around 3:00 AM (2:30 PM Wednesday in Afghanistan.) I dreamed that Luke and I were fighting with each other, yelling and screaming. It was AWFUL. It's been a terrible day there and I fear it will get worse as the election nears.

I have been getting slack in my prayers. When Luke first left I prayed the Divine Mercy chaplet twice a day. I swore I was going to go to Mass three times a week and pray the Rosary every day. I was going to finally memorize St. Michael's prayer. And on and on....

The last few days I was praying the Chaplet 10 minutes before going to bed which means I am tired and distracted. I consoled myself by saying my prayers don't prevent death in Afghanistan. My prayers only help the sick and those already dying. Ugh. How lame and pathetic.

Please help me pray. I can't do this on my own.
