Just thought I'd throw this out there, but in my little circle we've noticed that when we pray outloud vs. mumbling about in our heads, it helps keep us focused. It's like having an actual conversation with God, instead of sort of feeling sometimes you are talking to yourself - drifting off in thoughts about what bills to pay. I've found that when I pray out loud, I really get into it more. Praying out loud gets the emotions going too sometimes. So bear with this long post, please (as I greatly dislike the 5 part posts):
Dear Lord,
Thank you for ALL the people on PSB. I am thankful that I have a place to come and get support and talk about you, Lord. Please touch all the hearts on this board, please heal their minds and bring peace to their souls. Thank you for this day and my family, I know I'm not always as thankful as I need to be. Please help us all see more beauty in the world instead of negativity (which is common with some of these illnesses). In Jesus' Name, Amen.
God be with you all this week.
