prayer

It’s 4am here in Australia. I have been awake for several hours because of relentless pain. 5 days ago I lifted something the wrong way and immediately felt intense pain in my back. This pain coupled with the ongoing leg pain from my post accident surgery has been extremely debilitating.

So I ask you please for prayer support. I am really struggling to make this post and have wrestled with it for a few days. Here in The Mighty I strive to be encouraging and supportive as best I can. I feel a weight of responsibility to uplift people and help them because through my own journey of mental illness I know that many people suffer in silence or don’t have a great support network of other people.

However, at this point of time I can’t be silent because I really seemed to be well on the road of recovery and this feels like a major setback and perhaps more concerning my mind has gone to some pretty dark places.

I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised by the increase in leg pain. A few weeks ago I was doing 300 steps a day, yesterday was 4000. After church on Sunday we are going away to our favourite beach hotel for 4 days. We booked this before the accident knowing that after December and January, two of the busiest months every year, we will need some R and R. Little did we know then how important this break would be.

So, I request your prayers. Just knowing I am not alone at this time would mean the world to me.

I believe in the power of prayer. I truly believe God loves us all and wants to hear from us. Prayer doesn’t require special language, it’s simply talking to God.

I would like to pray for you. How can I pray for you today? Health? Relationships? Wisdom? Put your prayer requests in the comments and I will gladly pray for you.

I follow a routine of prayer, seated shadowboxing, yoga (chair yoga), and wall push-ups, and stomach vacuums….Still working on the night 😱 routine #Fitness #Yoga #chairyoga #adaptiveboxer #Prayer

I recently relocated. I have a new job, living space, and environment. All sound great, yet I have been physically sick for the past two weeks. Also, now that I am hours away from my aging mom, she has been rushed to the emergency room two times in two weeks. I am over an eight hour drive away and am not pleased with this.

So, please say a prayer for me as I seek wisdom from above regarding my role in helping my mom. Also, I ask for prayer regarding the ministry I am now working with: that I would be a great asset for the team. And finally, I request prayer concerning either the weather to cool off or that my body will adjust to the new air particles that are obviously sending my autoimmune system into absolute chaos!!! Oh, and a church that serves as a place for me to worship with a family rather than fulfilling an obligatory request from friends.

Thanks! #Prayer #NewBeginnings #

To all who prayed for me after my urgent request, I think, in early April, thank you sooooo very much! Believe it or not, I had 15 false accusations waged against me by a local government agency due to the words of one employee! Here’s the scoop:

Due to my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), I was on a medical leave unexpectedly longer than originally planned. My employer approved medical leave resulted in an unexpected and illegal termination. And because of the termination, I had to apply for short-term benefits. That agency viewed me as fraudulent based on an employee’s suggestion and my employer’s denial of my medical leave.

Long story short, to clear my name, and qualify for short-term benefits, I eventually learned I submitted ninety plus pages of written documents and images showing I did indeed have an injury AND was on an approved medical leave from work. In spite of all of the paperwork, I was then subjected to multiple sessions before a justice to testify against the false claim held MYSELF. I basically served as my own attorney. Lord! But no fear 😧 s involved in this because the Lord simply allowed me to share the truth! Oh my, the entire month was extremely trying. And because of those accusations, I nearly lost my apartment because during the entire month of May, as I was unexpectedly dedicated to settling that matter, I had only $180.00s to my name! Yes, pray for my poor credit card debt!

Anyway, you #mighty folks, your prayers resulted in the Lord miraculously and surprisingly covering my rental fees and clearing the false accusations. Also, and more importantly, your prayers provided me the strength to continue to confront this very demeaning situation rather than succumbing to an absolute depressed state, which I was in when I first requested prayer in April. My TBI PTSD nearly tipped me over the edge, literally. So I thank you all sooo VERY MUCH!!!❤️
