Prayer & Praise
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical Body of your Son: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Amen!
I’d like to offer as a praise to our Lord and a thank you to all who have prayed for me, that I am experiencing quite a bit of improvement in my health.
I’m on an elimination diet (nothing but chicken, fish, fruits and vegetables). At some point, I’ll start introducing other foods back into my diet, to see which, if any, are triggers of Fibro flare-ups, migraines and/or arthritis inflammation. I’m no longer on opioids, which had stopped working for me anyway. I’m doing moderate exercise a few times a week (supposed to be everyday, but…), and I’ve lost about 9 lbs.
I still have a lot of pain in my joints and I’ve had one migraine day within the last month, but comparatively speaking, I’m doing much better. Please pray that I’m able to stick to my health plan. No gluten, starch, sugar, peanuts, soy, beef or dairy takes a lot of self-control.
Oh, and I was on two different blood pressure meds. Due to the diet changes and weight loss, my BP was starting to get too low, so now I’m only taking one of the meds and am back to a normal level.
Thanking God for the help for you, CK…
So good to hear of your improvement CK, praise the Lord.
Capt, I just prayed for you and I’m thanking God for your healing. I’m on a very similar diet along with intermittent fasting (one meal a day) and would guess that my pain level is down 50%. Additional benefits are too numerous to list.
Stick with it!
Jim, thanks for the prayer. Great to hear of your progress as well! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Michael and AA!
KK,
No diet soda or anything with artificial sweeter either right?
please remember in prayer
Captain Kevin – I’ve been put on an FMLA indefinite leave of absence from my work. Hoping it will only be for a few weeks. My dr put me on a diet, said I need to exercise 15-20 mins per day no matter how I feel, and we’re going to try a new med. I have about 6 days of PTO left. After that, I lose pay for every day I miss.
