Hi All,
In the US, March is MS Awareness month. I plan to spend this month in prayer, over myself - yes, and for all who are affected by MS. If you don't believe in a higher power, please be respectful and move on from these posts. But if you would like to, please read and join in with me in lifting up these things. My goal is to post once a day for this month.
blessings,
Laurie

Dear Father,
I remember the day it happened. I was walking around the zoo with my family and my right foot just suddenly went numb. I thought it was a fluke and that it would go away. But it never did. It changed into stiffness. And my foot and now both feet have never been the same for the past 7 years. It devastated me in many ways. But I thank you that you are my hope. I am not forever in despair because of this. I have you and I am so so grateful for who you are and all that has happened in these years.
I pray today for those who have been recently diagnosed with MS. Oh Lord, please have mercy on them. Please fill them with hope. Please be at work in their lives somehow. Please give them courage to reach out to others - to their doctors, to their family and friends, even to folks like me on this forum. Please let them see how life is still worth living, that there can still be joy even on painful days. Let them still press on, still do small baby steps. Let them be able to eat and sleep and make the effort to take a shower and try to smile. Please protect them from drastic decisions like ever harming themselves or others. Please help them to to see that their identity is not wrapped up with this diagnosis. I believe that you created every human being and that you love them deeply.
Too, I pray for myself and others who continue to have numbness and stiffness as symptoms. I ask for strength to continue to be able to walk. I pray for relief and healing Lord. Please let all numbness and stiffness go away. Thank you Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen
