Disciple of Prayer
I have several related needs for prayer. I have dealt for over forty years with a long term and very difficult illness, likely derivative of chemical poisoning from when the area where I lived and worked was saturated with malathion sprayed from helicopters; this ultimately sickened many others, for whom I also pray. I am having serious trouble trying to keep up with life's tasks, having been divorced against my will, largely because of my illness, and living alone, except for my dear old wildfire rescue cat, with a house and large wooded yard to maintain. I recently lost my nice and well-kept car, destroyed by floodwaters, the insurance won't cover it (wrongfully, i believe), and just trying to find help getting the remains home affordably is driving me nuts. I live out in the woods by necessity, because I am extremely sensitive to noise, and cannot sleep at all at night, only during the day. I have not worked outside my home since 1989, though I am trained as an organizational diagnostician. I have a very hard time finding appropriate or knowledgeable medical care in my geographical area, as ME (fully diagnosed) is a poorly understood illness, and Northern California has a paucity of good specialists. I should be seeing a specialist, not NPs or PAs in low cost clinics that simply want me to take nerve poisons--there is no treatment or cure for my illness, and I have no desire to shorten my life and strain my already overloaded heart with psychiatric drugs. I fully believe Jesus supports me in my medical self-advocacy, and understands that I have endured 43 years of daily torture. Right at the moment, I could use help in prayer to get my poor car home without it costing hundreds of dollars, and I need help finding a knowledgeable and compassionate physician who I can afford. Lastly, I am almost 3/4 of the way through writing a novel to try and help make ends meet. I can't put a needed new roof on my house or replace the collapsing porch, and buy a decent car too (I have to drive long distances regularly, and avoiding breakdowns is a major health concern). I do have some connections in the publishing field, but that won't help unless the book is a good product. Any prayers to help my novel succeed are appreciated. If it does, I have a nonfiction book lined up, and a theological work I have long intended. Finally, I ask for prayers for all people with myalgic encephalomyelitis, including Margaret, Countess of Mar, former member of the UK House of Lords, who like me, developed ME from malathion poisoning, and who heads an organization to help people like us. I pray for her work, and I pray it will grow to help people around the world, as millions suffer from this very poorly understood illness. Today, I am most worried about bringing my car home--it can't stay where it is. If that worry were eliminated, my immediate peace of mind would improve dramatically, which enables me to write . I can't write fiction at all without peace of mind! I do pray regularly, including the Rosary (I am baptized, but am not Catholic). i believe strongly in Christian unity, and in fellowship with people of all faiths. My prayers are with the persons, and family members both human and animal, of everyone who reads or responds to my prayer request. Thank you very much for your consideration, and for all prayers.
