Prayer

A Hepper's Prayer

May our sides be easy and ever so light
May we sleep our way all through this dark night
May this fog lift each day and clear our heads
As we laboriously drag ourselves out of our beds

At war with the dragon we always shall be
Until every last Hepper is made virus free
Whether we win or we lose, our cause it is right
And this dragon will know it's been in one hell of a fight

So send out this prayer to whoever you choose
So they'll know that this battle we don't plan to lose
And say it each night as you lay down to sleep

And make it a promise we'll all try to keep

Dear God

I pray .. for those who are treating

• to be positive and strong
• to persevere and endure
• to achieve UND

for those who finished treating
• to live life to the fullest
• give yourself a good break
• from UND to SVR

for those who have not been treated

• to think of their liver, family and health
• that they meet a good doctor to convey your message
• that they be their own advocate

for those who have not been tested

• to put health above all
• stop denial and accept
• if not, you will live to regret it

Dear God

Give me the power to sit, breathe and clear my mind.
Help me understand how to manage my day when the pain gets in the way.
Provide me inner peace to help me release the anxiety that comes with the feeling of helplessness.
Dare me to overcome the sadness that follows the relentless fatigue.
Let the frustration of the fog pass so I understand that there are better days.
Show me the purpose of such continual ache so I may get on a path I will prosper on.
Convince me that I am not weak and I will stand when I am able and rest when needed.
Hold the thoughts I have started while my mind takes time off.
Allow me to be ‘just fine’ because I am unsure of what else to do.

SERENITY PRAYER

God grant me the courage to get up and move, ignoring my stiff, sore body and cloudy mind, and to try to decide which of the twenty things I was doing when the pain made me stop is the one I most want to do now; the serenity to refrain from holding and moving any objects which feel the slightest bit heavy, although they may not have yesterday; the foresight to decide exactly where I would like these objects moved the next time an able-bodied person is in the house, and to write this down; and the wisdom to laugh instead of despair at my absurd predicament.
