| I'm taking an Acuplacement test at the college I'm going to next fall. I'm really freaking out! I don't do great on tests, and I'm also an overachiever, so if I get a bad score I'm going to freak out and get mad at myself and think I'm no good....so I really need some prayer that I'll stay cool, calm and collected as I take the test. Thanks! |

This is really hard for me to talk about, but God wants me to get prayers on this, its too big for me. Well... I dont want to elaborate but I'll give a brush up.
In the last 3 years I've struggled with a brain desease and it basically took over. That disorder is called anorexia. Please dont hate me for having it, i already had plenty of people do that, but for about a year my body lived in severe starvation mode and my heart rate really, really freaked my doctor out. I was down to a scary, freaky weight and my parents put me in a syco hospital 2 hours from our home. They just were not right to us in that place- we could not use the restroom without asistence; we were never, ever let outsied; we were given cold showers at 7 am; and stuff like that. After a week they convinced my parents that since it was really hard for me to eat they were gonna put me on a feeding tube so i didnt have to eat as much. i never resisted to what they did to me, except when a group leader lead a spirituality course and i quietly resigned, getting points off my daily chart. Once i was on the feeding tube, my parents were told that they could not legally take me home, and my food rations doubled, giving me worse stomach pains than ever. Our family was given the cold shoulder, including me. God aranged for a lawer in California, (we live in Wisconsin,) to contact my dad and offer him to take up the case and free me without any charge whatsoever. That freaked the hospital out and they let me go imediatally.
About 3 months later I honestly couldnt remember the time i had there, and i thought the nightmere was over untill i started having flashbacks that left me hyperventalating and weeping.
Sometimes, seemingly randomly, I get angry, and i am Not an angry person. Please pray for me!!! I need help! My emotions are damadged and i now struggle with OCD daily. Please dont "take pity on me", we all have our struggles.

I don't hate you. You shall have all the prayer you need for as long as you need it.
This prayer has always helped me. Perhaps it will help you.

Micaela, that is awful that anyone treated you or any of the other patients like that!! Definitely praying for you and everyone who is going through that with you and for anyone else with issues like that. I had very severe depression in high school, and though God has definitely brought me through the worst of it, I still have bad days (long, cold, and dark winters do not help me =) but I know that with anorexia, your health becomes more of a challenge.
Just curious, have you heard of Mercy Ministries? |

I know I posted something but I guess it didn't go on
Don't worry, no hate of pitty here, I'm glad you brought this up. I can't believe you were treated like that. you're God's girl and the most precious one to. We all are. I'm certainly not anorexic, but I know what it's like to struggle with weight. I weigh as much as my 12yr old sister...and she is thin! I'll be praying for you, you've been through a lot, be strong, you have friends who care |

I am uber excited! I was accepted as a YMC at a Christian Summer Camp, and I can't wait for staff training at the beginning of June!
But I would like some prayer:
1) That i will stay focused on God and make it His summer; not mine
2) that i will be a willing worker to help further His kingdom
3) that i will have enough stamina to last the three months
and 4) that i will be able to raise enough support to go!
Thanks! |
