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,
Thank you for your love and forgiveness this day. Thank you that I am alive. Today, I give you thanks for my job. I thank you for my co-workers who help me with opening weighted doors and who check in on me to see how I am doing. Thank you for my boss and for his kindness as he has seen me decline and knows the accommodations I need to be able to work best. Thank you for my flexible schedule and the favor you have given to me. I pray and ask that in your mercy, you would allow me to keep on working for many years to come.
I pray for all of us with MS and for our job challenges. I pray for those who are searching for jobs and that you would bring favor, that there would be no hint of discrimination because of MS. I pray for those who have had to switch careers because of limitations. Some of us have had to give up working altogether. Some of us work from home now instead of traveling. Some of us have not disclosed our invisible illness to our co-workers and colleagues. I pray for wisdom for us all as we interact with others and try to do our jobs with excellence. I ask that you would provide for those who need their jobs for health insurance and for a basic income. I pray that you would provide for those who are lacking basic necessities. I ask that you would strengthen us on the difficult days when we don't want to be at work and have an off day where the "monster" is lurking. Thank you Lord for being a good Father. Please bring your healing touch to us all.
In Jesus' name, amen
