Lord I pray today for my sister Sandra and ask you to keep her at peace and to comfort her heart. She really needs you right now. She is depressed. She was let go from her company a few weeks ago after 35 years of service. Lord I have always admired my sister because she's never let her polio disability get in her way of her working and maintaining her independence. Lord what I do know is that she has been suffering even though she pushes forward. She's in constant pain and becoming more challenged physically. She's now 66. Lord I know she wanted to continue working but I believe you know that she needs peace and a break from it all. I know you're in control of all things and I believe and pray that this will bring her more contentment as time passes. Lord help her to find joy in new things and help her to find a new job if that's the route she decides to go. Lord I thank you for my sister and I pray you watch over her. Please help her not to dwell on the situation. I pray this request in Jesus name and claim it in the name of the Holy Spirit. Amen!
God say that if two people on earth agree about anything they ask He will do it.
He puts it this way:
Matthew 18:19
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
I will be praying in agreement with all of your prayers from now on.
John 8:36
.So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed

Here are some things to do that will help:
1. Exercise. Move the body...walk or run. Find an accountability person to walk or run with you. Exercise daily will help! 20-30 minutes of outside exercise.
2. What is one thing you enjoyed doing in the past? Find a day and time to spend 10 minutes doing that activity or something similar. Write it down- day and time on calendar. Share what you will do with someone so you will be accountable to get it done.
3. Journal...Write down your thoughts so you can get rid of the negative ones..
4. Stay away from negative media, posts, anything that triggers negative emotion.
5. Watch an inspirational movie - there are some great Christian movies out now.
6. Write down scripture or positive affirmations and put them in the bathroom and around house. Read them daily.
7. Do something for someone else. Think of someone you care about and bake them something or bring them a gift or write a card to them.
8. Stay connected- call a friend, join a bible study or local group...reach out to others
