Hope your weekend was a good one. Hope you got many opportunities to show H what a FAB person you truely are!!!
I have been following your posts with Vinlad (she is wonderful!) regarding prayer. This was sent to me by a local speaker who talks about feeling good even when you feel bad. Amazing stuff....
Life is filled with challenges and opportunities--and sometimes it's hard to tell which is which! When you're in the middle of a challenge or an opportunity and you feel bad, there's one thing you can count on, and that is that you can feel good even when you feel bad. Here's how:
Secret #6 How to Kill a Monster Part 8--Put Your Hands Together
A 1999 randomized, controlled scientific trial done at the Mid-America Heart Institute in Kansas City studied 990 people admitted to a coronary care unit to see if intercessory prayer would have an effect on their recovery. Intercessory prayer is when a stranger prays for someone without their knowledge.
Half of the patients were prayed for every day for 28 days by volunteers who believed in God and the healing power of prayer but did not know the person for whom they were praying. The other half of the patients received no intercessory prayer.
At the end of the 28 days, researchers found that the group that was prayed for scored 11% higher than the group that wasn't prayed for on a scale that measured negative health events like pneumonia, infection, and death. In other words, those who were prayed for had less pneumonia and infection, and recovered better than those who were not prayed for.
Prayer is thought, and thought is energy. Physicists say that everything is made up of energy and that energy cannot be destroyed. But it *can* be transformed. Prayer can help you do that.
If you don't like the energy in your life, change it. No matter how helpless you may feel in the face of what's happening to you, one thing you can always do is pray. If you're uncomfortable with the word "prayer," then call it affirming or meditating or visualizing or just good vibes.
Even if praying doesn't change your circumstances, it will change your outlook and that in itself will change your circumstances. And, by the way, ask other people to pray for you, too!
Try putting your hands together. You'll find that you'll feel good when you feel bad.
