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 this new day to live. Today, I pray primarily for perseverance. There are some times where I just want to give up - to not exercise, to just be lazy and watch tv, to not talk to anyone, to disengage and feel sorry for myself. But I know that in the long run, those things don't lead me to happiness or to health and will harm me. Oh Lord, in the short term, I feel the temptation, the pull to just not try anymore because it's tiring. But I pray for eyes to see that it is worth it to keep going.
So I pray for all of us with MS. Please help us to keep on going, to take one day at a time. I pray that you would help us to be inspired, to humbly try new things to see if they help us, to have the discipline to exercise and eat well, to press on when things are tough. I am by no means a life coach and I know that it's a battle in my own flesh to do the things that I know I should do. So please help me. Please help us all. For those who have depression and anyone who has gone through financial, emotional, and physical turmoil, I pray that you would speak into their hearts. Please do what only you can do. Protect those you love from harming themselves. Send friends and family to lift up those with downcast spirits. I ask for a breakthrough Lord. Thank you for being my reason to live. Please bring your healing to our bodies and our hearts.
In Jesus' name, amen
