life begins again

We all need courage and strength



"Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for the blessings of all of my friends and my family, and thank you for all the amazing screaming fans that are here tonight.

Dear Lord, please give me strength to be a winner for all of them and not for myself.

Dear Lord, remind me to empower not myself, but to empower those around me
because that is my gift. My gift is not self worship. My gift is the worship of others. So please help me to be strong and help me to know my own strength. Please help me to be brave Lord.

Dear God, give me courage. Do not let me give in to those feelings. Do not let me give in to my own insecurities. Allow me to walk in your light.

Allow me to live and breathe and sing and dance for all the dancers on that stage, for the band, for the music, and for You. Amen." 

~ Lady Gaga, backstage at Madison Square Garden
