Please don't take this the wrong way.
I believe in a God/Goddess but don't believe in the devil and so it very hard to rap my head around this concept. I really don't want you to think I don't care because i do > Ibelieve in prayer nad think about and know deep in my heart htings will work out for you. When Life is tough I read the Mary Stevenson poems. This poem the walking on the beach with the lord always gives me hope that I will always make it through the tough times
Poems
“Foot Prints ts in the Sand
One night a man
had a dream.
He dreamt he was
walking with the Lord.
Across the sky
flashed scenes of his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand;
one belonged to him,
and the other to the Lord
. When the last scene of
his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the
footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times
along the path of his life there
was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it had
happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered the man and
he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided
to follow you, you'd walk with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed
you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied,
"My precious child, I love you
and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
."Author" Mary Stevenson

J esus hear this prayer today
let my family know I am okay.
E ndless love lives on in eternity
and one day they'll be home with me.
R emind them of the special times we share
and let them know that I will always care.
A ngels walk with me through each new day
ever since from earth I was called away.
M iss me, but know I miss you too
you still have work on earth to do.
I n times of deepest sorrow
glimpse my tomorrow.
E ver know that heaven is real,
and this is not goodbye.... it's just until.

Were Free
Don't grieve for us,
For now were free
Were following. the path God has laid you see
We took his hand when we heard him call
A Loan
The Lord Looked down to earth on day,
and waw a couple there.
He said, "Now those two people make a lovely pair.
I have some spirits here with me that need a
home on earth.
I think that I shall bless these folks with a precious
spirits birth.
This baby, though, is just a Loan.
These are the terms My dears,
She may live there just sixty days or she may live
for sixty years.
I hope you'll treat my spirit kindly while she's down
on earth with you.
For when she comes back here to me she has a
special job to do.
She'll bring you joy and heartache, She'll cause
strife and care
And she'll bring unto your lives my dears, Love that
you can share
But remember she's my spirit and she's just been loaned
down there.
She has a job to do up here so help her to prepare.
And now I've called my spirit back the job you did was fine.
The spirit that belonged to me is now both yours and mine.
I knew that when I called her back it would cause
bitter tears
But your sharing in her glory and the profit of her years.
I only sent her as a loan to make your home more bright
So you could teach her right from wrong, and tuck her in at night.
My loan is paying dividens, I want you both to know.
I'm glad I loaned that spirit to you two down below.
