us becomes available.”

for your forgiveness, that even though I sin again and again, You are
still there to forgive me. Thank you, Lord, for my mother who continues
to care for me. Please take away, Lord, my resentment with my family,

help me, Lord. My prayer is for my family to accept and love me more.

pray, Lord, that You may extend my life, enlighten my mind and give me

“Please
don’t allow us to go astray once more, Lord, and I pray that when my
time comes to face you, may I, with all my strength, be able to say the
words ‘Thank you,’ ‘I’m sorry,’ and “I LOVE YOU, LORD.’”
“Thank you, Lord, for always giving me hope and keeping me healthy despite my infection.”

the NGOs, social workers and religious congregations who are journeying
with us, that they may never get tired of guiding and helping us people
living with HIV. All this we lift up to you in prayer, Lord.”
