Genesis 2.18, Proverbs 18.22, 19.14, Ecclesiastes 4.7-12, 1st Corinthians 7.9
Folks, I need a helper. You all know of my health issues I've been having. Pain in my legs, hives, water retention to the point it's hard to get my shoes on. I have researched water retention and I am trying to do something about it. But, it's taking time. It appears I've had this problem even when I was a teenager. My legs swelled up, but with a good night sleep they went down again. Well, it's harder for them to go down now, especially since I am not sleeping all that well.
A week or so ago, my left leg developed a huge water blister. It was about 2 inches long, and about 2 inches wide. It's just kept getting bigger. So, I popped it. It became infected. And it kept oozing. Finally, I put some medicated powder, like Gold Bond, on it. Stopped oozing at least for a while.
The Church of the Brethren in Myerstown has a Sharing Cupboard twice per month. I can't make it this week, and I am getting low on food. I really need help. Please ask God to send me a helper.

Sorry, to hear about your health problems. But as you know through the power of Jesus Christ, God is a healer. Pray for Him to touch your weakened body and to give you His strength. You also have hospitals in the area, call and go to the hospital and get yourself taken care of. 911 is just finger tips away, and if you don't have a phone, you have a computer you can also reach out for emergency services by computer sending a request for help, and they will send help, you have no excuses!
Also why would you need someone to help get food to you? You stated the Church of the Brethren in Myerstown has a food bank for those in need, and I'm sure they have a phone number... and if they don't there are plenty church and agencies in your community and area to help you. All you need to do is call one of them, even the police department will send someone out to help you and/or bring you food if you can't get out, I know this to be true because I have had two people from Denver and Houston TX who could not get out because they were too weak, and I had them to call 911, and the police came out to see about them. You are a senior citizen over 55?... this is a community service set up for seniors or anyone really who is sick and alone... which you ARE! . So do the first things first call for help in your community and area, use your community resources.
May God be with you...

Yeah, well, there comes a point in time when you have need to stop praying and get up and act on those things you are praying about. What are you waiting on if you're in need? God has given you the answers, you need to get busy and make it a reality. Pray means nothing if you are unwilling to act upon what you are requesting of God when you pray, and stop making excuses and complaining about what it is you have need of, and/or don't have and can't get...I'm just saying |
