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,
Today, I pray for restoration. Specifically, I initially was thinking of myelin restoration - so many of us have damaged nerves and I ask that you would restore us, restore what was lost, restore the fatty coating that is supposed to be there so that our brains can make these connections that have slowed us down or stopped us in our tracks. Please restore our myelin to where it should be. Please help our bodies to heal.
But truly, besides myelin, I pray for that you would restore our joy. So many of us with MS have lost so much. We have lost not only movement and strength, but we have lost loved ones and have broken relationships, lost our jobs, and some have lost all hope. I pray that in your mercy, you would restore joy into the lives of the hurting and broken. Some things may not be recovered in our lifetimes, but I believe in the afterlife. I believe in eternal hope. Please restore joy into our lives and I believe you can do it in both spheres - in eternity and in the lives we live here and now. Please help those who need hope - to have a single happy thought, a bit of laughter, a simple phone call from a friend, something to help carry them through. Lord, I believe you are the One who can bring restoration.
In Jesus' name, amen
