I'm praying for you Lovely, hang in there it will be over soon 
Lord, your promises are not made void by the believer!
Lord, You are the healer, the redeemer, the protector. Your word says, no weapon formed against us will prosper!
The women who touched the hem of Jesus' garment was healed by her faith. Allow lovely to meditate with a blessed hope in your healing through the power of Holy Spirit. Lord, Increase faith, Increase trust, Increase belief in having full assurance that You make all things work out, that in the end of it all ...Your good, Your Glory WILL shine thorugh!
Lord, Give lovely peace of mind to rest assured that You know what you are doing through her and in her life, that no matter what trials she faces in life that it will all work out for Your Glory! Give her assurance that her faith will make her whole in You no matter what happens, give her full assurance that YOUR GLORY WILL SHINE THROUGH FROM OUT OF IT ALL! Lord let her mind believe and hope in the nothing but the positive outcome! Let Trust and Faith increase.
Amen.

Lovely, so sorry that you are going through this. I will pray for you.
And destiny you are so right we should never say 'I am praying for you' and then fail to do so. Which is why I realise I have to limit myself here as I know there are only so many people I can daily pray for.

Thank you all so much for praying for me. I know that God has answered you, because He has been close and in my thoughts and conversation all day. I am so thankful for His help. I was sharp with my children several times, and they have been very gracious and careful...I just feel so blessed to have them. I also feel grateful for your prayers and encouragement, because I know that God has heard. Today was the hardest day so far.
My love and thanks,
Tina

lovely, I am sorry I somehow missed this post until now. I want to pray too.
Lord, I do not know all the details of what this lovely woman is going through, but she has asked for prayer and I would like to pray on her behalf. Lord, set her free from the suffering she is experiencing. Ease her way through transitioning. Restore normalcy to her life. Lord, do this to bless her and for Your name's sake. I thank you in advance for all of the many blessings you will bring to lovely and her family through these trials. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Mayaggie,
Thank you. These are actually perscribed steriods due to a lung disease. I am going off of them so that I can try a natural method...I should have mentioned that. I have been on various types for a few years now.
I don't feel depressed (yet?), I feel more edgy (raw?) and I have spurts of anger, even rage, followed by an overwhelming desire to just weep. I also have a wrenched stomach, shakes and tremmors, and a very strange all-over sensation that I can't explain and that wont go away. I have been tapping and pacing a lot. I really need it to go away, because the sensation is causing everything to overstimulate me, and more than once I have felt like doing something physcial like pulling my own hair or hitting myself or something to make it stop or change....I don't know, I can't explain it.
No worries, please, Michael is here watching me. Again, thank to you all for your prayers. I have been through this with a short-term dose, but I am not sure how it's going to go since I have been on them for son long this time.

I am in agreement with this prayer.
lovely, this passage helped me when I was praying for my son to make it through his cancer/chemo treatments:
"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
The LORD will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land
and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness."
Psalm 41:1-3
My mother printed this verse on a pillow and put it in my son's ICU bed so that we were constantly reminded to have faith that the Lord could, despite the magnitude of his illness, sustain him while he was in his sickbed and then restore him from his bed of illness. The Lord did both. Praise God! And praise God now in advance for your own restoration (both from the withdrawal from steroids and from the lung disease).

Praise God, JoJo that your son was restored! I just love to hear testimonies of people trusting in the Lord! He is so good.
I am doing so much better right this minute...God has given me some relief, and I know it's due to the prayers of my brothers and sisters. That strange feeling has quieted down a lot now that things are silent around me...thanks to the Lord. I am having a tough time sleeping, which is why I am typing this so late, actually so early, but at least I am not so keyed up.
The Lord bless all of you.

Lovely, glad that weird sensation has quietened down a lot.
It all sounds so horrible. I knew you were trying homeopathic remedies for your lung disease a while ago. I hope you find one that will suit you and work out.
I am glad you feel the Lord close to you at this time, and listening to His voice to hear what He is saying to you through this time of suffering. But I do know He is our comforter, and He is alongside you saying "I understand as I have been through such dreadful suffering".
It really amazes me that we have a God not remote and not understanding, but one who knows exactly what we are going through.
I know when I have been going through dreadful pain in the past, that's not my first thought (just trying to get through it!) But after the pain and when the suffering has passed, when I think of Christ's suffering, I can imagine, even for a tiny minuscule glimpse, what He must have suffered for me and I have a renewed sense of wonder and thankfulness that I never had before.
I realise with forums people can come across weirdly, and I really really hope none of my posts here come across pious etc. It's just some things I am slowly learning after being a christian for about 30yrs!! which I know I should have gotten at least 20 yrs ago!

JoJo and Ginger, thanks so much.
JoJo, yes it was nice to get some relief late last night...I really just needed to be alone with the Lord.
Ginger, for the record, I have always been a slow-learning Christian, and when people share about God's goodness it resonated because I need to hear it. It reminds me of, "Come Thou Found Of Every Blessing" The lyric is, "...O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm contrained to be! Let Thy goodness like a fetter bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the Lord I love. Here's my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above." Personally, I am proned to forget God's goodness and principals, and I love to hear/read of them being observed because I have a tendency to get caught up in the deception of my own emotions when I forget His truth.
He does know what we are going through...so true.
Today I am so much better. We deliberately have tried to keep things quiet and calm here. Michael and the children have just been a huge blessing to me. I have an amazing amoung of energy, though, and it would be nice if that side effect would hang on for a bit. ;) The others I will be glad to be through with. Thanks to all of you again for all the prayers...I was so low yesterday, and it blessed my heart so much to have people praying.
Jamie, I just wanted to say that I love you...you have been with me right from the start of all of this, and you have been God's warrior in the face of satan's attack. I thank you for praying for me and loving me these past few years. He wants me dead, but I believe because of you, and others holding me up faithfully, that I have only grown stronger in spite of his attempts. God's grace and mercy toward me has been a miracle. Thank you, my sister.

I am so sorry!I thought you was talking about anabolic steroids.The kind that makes your muscles
bigger.
bigger.
I can't imagine myself with muscles, but I sure wouldn't mind something a little stronger than the one's I have right now...baby steps, but through farm work not steroids. lol

I remember when this started how God gave me a heavy burden for you, and that doesn't happen to me on forums very often. I felt I had to let you know at that time what the Lord was impressing on me for you.
Don't you ever give up any ground concerning what God is giving you now! Stand firm against the enemy on your healing/deliverance! I love you too, sister!
