Mercy. My big brother was my main abuser.
I forgive myself and him, Jesus. Haven’t we all suffered enough by now?!?
Thank You for being my good strong 💪 elder Brother.
I can trust Your protection. Your righteousness and kindness.
Not that You will keep bad things away, (You didn’t keep bad things away from Yourself~afterall)
but that You will teach me how
to beat them at their own game

I was thinking about this with Jesus this morning.
I want to be like this in my relationships.
You know?
Open
Trusting
No defense
Because that’s how I roll
Not because the world is perfectly safe
That’s how I can be impregnable, unassailable, undefeated.
Hmmm…good point.
Father, help me to focus on You. I don’t understand why things don’t work sometimes.
Why have I been sick for seven-ish years? You could heal me in a snap. I’ve certainly asked You often enough.
I remember that all You said was: getting sick IS your healing. (However that works ~ but You have NO trouble getting Your point across, do You.)
I trust You.
I love 💘 You Jesus.
You are the most amazing beautiful wise humble Person
I’ve ever met
and I am smitten.
I decided I’m like 98% okay with being sick
I wouldn’t trade being healthy and able to do things
for all the spiritual wisdom and
unlooked for changes
that God and me have made over the last 7ish years

It is non-toxic and has been used in traditional medicine as a remedy against abdominal and respiratory diseases. Wikipedia
Jesus help me to be tough and hard to kill. Hardy.
Resilient.
~blog that I follow nails this. (Even though the topic is chronic physical pain)
“….it is hard to exactly know where that limit is. We can inadvertently exceed our pain limit and not know it until later that day. And when we do know we did we know for sure the next few days are not going to be fun, at all.
“This is just the way things are with chronic pain. It is hard with constant baseline pain to know when exactly you do too much in a day.
“But you know too little can also be a huge problem. Somehow we have to stay in the middle there.
We know it is a malfunctioning pain system but we still have to stay within our pain and fatigue levels to maximize our functionality and prevent boom and bust crashes, as best we can.” ~~brainless blogger @ wordpress
I was thinking about this as regards the global pandemic~ just seems to go on and on and more and more and more bad news until we just feel kind of numb…..I mean, right?

I need you God! I cannot fix this by myself.

Repeat.

Lord I need YOU to reboot my heart .
I need you to help me find my sweet spot ❤ again.
