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 God,
Thank you for this new day to live. This morning, I read this verse, "Your steadfast love is better than life" (Psalm 63:3) and I was reminded of a prayer request I have prayed over myself before. I ask that you would help me to seek you more than I seek healing from MS. There's a song by Natalie Grant with the lyrics, "Help me want the Healer more than the healing ..." and I agree. What good is it to be healed if I am far from you? I ask that you help me to want your love more than life itself.
It's more specific to me today, but I do pray for everyone who has MS and believes in you, all who call on you, O Lord. I ask that they would find joy in your love because I believe that your love is better than anything in this life that we consider good. I believe that it is far better to be in your presence than to be healed. My desire is for both, but if I had to choose, may you always take first place. Please remind me that you are more valuable to me than being healed. Let me not merely say it with words, but show it with how I spend my time, with how I spend my money, with the way I treat other people, with how I think and process things, in all I say and do. Thank you Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen
