Prayer Request

Just a quick a request tonight...or this morning here.

I could use some prayers for my health. My body seems to be getting into a troublesome cycle with the fibromyalgia. Starting with caving, I feel hard at one point (I've got a great bruise to prove it). The whole thing was apparently a little taxing, which I expected. But I think the physical stress combined with being so tired as set off a flare.

So now I'm having trouble sleeping, which leaves me exhausted, and when this happens I start to hurt. Today my brain was muddled all day and I'm having a really hard time focusing and thinking.

I'm doing great emotionally, which is good. But I'm in a lot of pain, and my body is exhausted by I'm not sleepy, and when I hurt like this, without feeling sleepy, I can't get rest, and then the cycle of exhaustion and pain just spur each other on. 

Please pray that I get some rest, that I can think, and that I don't get grumpy and frustrated meanwhile. Also, please pray that God keeps reminding me of his love and care for me through this--those can be hard to remember when I'm hurting  and can't think sometimes.

Thanks so much for all your support!
