Prayer for my doggo and that God grant me peace

[ViaCrucis]

A part of me feels silly to ask for prayer for my dog. But I know a lot of us here have pets that we care and love. My dog has been off-and-on having intestinal issues the past few days, vet doesn't think it's anything too serious. But it's been killing me watch her be stressed out, shaking, panting, hiding in the bathroom because she doesn't want to have accidents in the house. She's an older dog (over 9 years old).

So prayer for her, please. I don't have have a lot of family left, and very few friends these days in middle age, and my dog is one of the only things I feel like I have in this world. So, I've been a nervous wreck trying to hold myself together emotionally. She is probably okay, but I know I could use some prayer too.

Lord Jesus, You are gracious and kind. Thank You for all Your precious gifts, and for being a fountain of unending hope.

 

[PsaltiChrysostom]

Via, this is a prayer dedicated to St. Modestos, a 7th century patriarch of Jerusalem who is the EO patron saints of animals:

Lord our God, who created light, make me worthy to attain your kingdom, for my soul desires you, Master, and only you. Do not forsake those who call on you, but in your loving kindness fill them with your goods, and grant them your rich mercy. Hear now my prayer and bless these animals, keeping them safe from harm.

Yes, Lord, look down from Your holy dwelling place and bless these animals, as you blessed the flocks of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Remove and repel from them every injury and illness. Grant them health and strength, render them robust and successful in the various services they render so that their owners, having received so many blessings from their animals, may also go out and be a blessing to others and glorify You always, through the prayers of St. Modestos and all the saints. Amen.

Prayer of St. Mamas
O Lord our God, Who made the heaven and the earth, and Whose Word grants all things towards salvation to our people, do not neglect this my prayer, from Your humble and lowest servant; but hearken to me, O Lord Who loves mankind, and this my prayer when read, whether at a flock, or oxen, or mules. Do not let sickness or other temptation come close to these animals, that being always guarded by You, we might offer up glory and worship to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

In the name of the Physician of Souls, bless your servant ViaCrucis and his dog that they may enjoy a long life together.

"A dog is better than I am, for he has love and does not judge." + St. Xanthias, The Sayings of the Desert Fathers.

Father be with VC as he navigates these trying times with his dog that means so much like family. Grant that he displays confidence in her health so that she is not picking up signals from her pet parent that the vet has found undetectable. Give peace to both their hearts Lord. In Jesus' name I pray.

It's not silly, ViaCrucis. Pets are often an important part of our social lives and it's not easy to see them experience difficulties. The Lord bless you both as you care for her!

 

[David's Harp]

I understand this, owning 3 dogs (one with special needs) and being an animal lover myself.
Lord, I ask that You will be with ViaCrucis at this time bestowing Your comfort upon him. If You will, may his beloved pet be brought healing and peace also. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Praying for your sweet Dog

 

[JohnC101]

I pray your dog gets better. You may want to ask the vet if there's anything "over the counter" that can be administered to help.

 

[GodAndChocolateVanilla]

Praying.
