Actually I'm very sure that God has given my body the ability to handle a cold without the need for a healing miracle.
But it usually takes like a week to recover naturally, and I had plans for this week that include lots of sports, swimming, my physically demanding outdoor day job (and we are expecting frosty temperatures and snow, so it's gonna get even more demanding), predictably not getting enough sleep, and a job application. So the cold doesn't quite fit in. Or maybe it's God's way of telling me to slow down? :wink
However, it seems very petty to asking for a divine healing for a mere common cold because I'd prefere to invest my energy into pursuing earthly endeavours rather than resting and healing.
Your prayers are still very appreciated, though.
You can pray for me on as many days as you want. I need God's guidance in many areas of my life and healing for my mind and spirit.

Thank you!
Considering how miserable I felt last night attending church went suprisingly well this morning. Just kind of sucks that a cold is isolating you from everyone else - no hand shakes or hugs for church friends because I am a biohazard.
Although I could just hug everyone, reminding them that God wants us to share what we have, right? :wink

Angel: Hope you are still okay and dh as well. We just had a power outage; so folk around here will be getting colds etc from shivering, I guess...

Blessings.

 

[Angel]

Oh man, that sounds tough! Stay safe!

 

[farouk]

Ty. The outage is over now. Blessings.

So it's been over a week now and most of the cold symptoms are gone, but I'm still feeling sick and miserable.
I would think I've suffered enough for now, so could you please pray that I return to good health soon? I miss doing sports. And I'm getting all hypochondriac about the malaise feeling being a symptom of some more serious disease - I might have cancer and die soon. Or maybe my flu has become a myocarditis and I'll die from heart failure within the next two days. Really that's what's happening in my mind as soon as my health isn't the way I expect it. So besides praying for my recovery you could also pray for my sanity.

Hi dear sister, I’m so glad you haven’t considered your problems a curse something akin to leprosy. I’ve read your testimony of liking hard metal I think it was, and having listened to just a small bit of that head popping sound, I would think it would displace any semblance of sound thinking of feared sicknesses.

Being serious and back to reality I sure will pray for your healing, and deliverance from all that is a hindrance to you having the joy of your salvation in Christ Jesus. God bless you now and forever to the glory of God for His name’s sake in Jesus.

You continue in my prayers, Claudya . Gotta get you back to exercising so those endorphins will multiply & bring happy & healthy thoughts again. Be sure to continue to read & study scripture.... that's always a spirit-booster!

 

[Claudya]

Thanks for your prayers, I'm thinking my flu is gone. Took long enough. It's rather cold here at the moment and working in an outdoor job isn't making it any easier. And I don't get to sleep enough during the week.

My mental health (or lack thereof) is getting the better of me again though. I really hurt very much. I feel so worthless and inferior and every interaction with any person is a huge threat. I'm really just trying to survive every day at the moment. So prayers are very appreciated.

Just take each day one at a time. That's how it has to be done....for each of us. I try not to worry myself about the future, because there's nothing I can do about a time point that hasn't become reality yet. And since the past is now history, nothing can be done about the past. What matters is today, the here and now.

But it isn't always that neat & tidy. For instance, I want to know here and now my grandchild's test results. Is it a disease or diseases causing the problems? Cancer? The test results aren't in yet and won't be for perhaps 2 weeks. Were the tests done properly, so there won't be any ambiguity or inconclusive results? It's time like this - for each of us - where we really do have to focus our eyes & hearts on our Lord, and trust Him completely to help us through the trying times. That's what I'm striving to do - I'm not perfect in it, though, and there remain those moments where I catch my breath every time the phone rings (and I'm hoping it's my offspring calling with test results).

You remain in my prayers, my friend ... and I'm pleased the flu has left the building (so to speak) !

Be blessed!

Praying for you Claudya
God will give you a break, and give you strength, in the midst of your pain.
I'm praying.

Hmmm.... Are you just a really good fake or are you the loving, compassionate, passionate, extremely intelligent, hilariously funny and talented young woman we have all gotten to know? If you are the person you have presented on this board then I suggest you start believing about yourself what many of us see in you.
Being ill is the pits and just plain depressing anyway and not being able to exercise makes it worse.
From now on my prayers for you are going to be that you start loving you.

Jesus Loves You

I hope you hear something soon. Waiting is so hard. Praying for all good news from the test results.

Thanks for your prayers!
Surprisingly I did have a very fun day with no emotional instability.

Thank you very much!
No, I'm not fake, I'm just a lot less insecure on the internet than in real life. When something goes wrong here I can blame it on culture or language (e.g. being a liberal among many conservatives, or a European among many Americans), and that's no threat for my ego. In real life my self esteem is so fragile that I'm dysfunctional almost all the time because almost everything that has to do with other humans makes me feel worthless or inferior.
So in fact I behave quite unlikeable and selfish in the real world.
Thus I feel guilty that you have a high opinion about me. 2

Thanks, Deborah13 . When it concerns a little one especially, the waiting can be a challenge. Am trusting in our Lord for my grandchild's complete healing.
