I like to sit here and wonder. Like I wonder… why cant we be real with each other? Like I sit here and i have pain shooting through my arms and hands. Why? Well … I’m still waiting for an earlier appointment.

Why cant I tell people about it? shouldn’t we be praying for each other? Shouldn’t we be asking the hard questions?

As a spoonie? People tend to not ask me how I am and ignore me because they dont want to ask that question. Cause they know – I am real. I am open. I am honest about my struggles. My question to you – why does that scare people?

Think about it – how are we to get people to pray for us? For those who are not Christian, I can understand. That induces a feeling of helplessness, but as a Christian? When my sister tells me of their struggles? I say a prayer as soon as I am done talking with them. Mostly cause I know I’ll forget – but i pray.

We need to be warriors.

We need to stand …. or really kneel and fight for our suffering brothers and sisters.

Cause let me tell you – I aint alone in my struggles. Most importantly?

You are definitely not either.

¹³ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

james 5:13-15
