Saturn and Pluto meet today for the first time since January 2020, and if that year left a mark on you, this one's going to feel significant.

What happened in 2020 wasn't random. Those two planets came together and basically asked everything in your life to prove it was real — your relationships, your work, the way you were living, the stories you were telling yourself. What couldn't hold up, didn't.

Then came six years of figuring out who you are when the thing you built your identity around is gone. Of learning what you actually want, not what you thought you were supposed to want. Of building something new without knowing if it would work.

Today isn't a reward exactly. It's more like clarity. The cycle that started in 2020 is closing. You're not the same person who entered it — and that was always the point. 🖤

Hello !👋 Survivors!
Happy Almost March!💚☘️💚

Yesterday I had a CT myelogram, and several people have asked what that actually means. It’s a specialized spinal test where contrast dye is placed into the spinal fluid in the muscle and lower back so detailed CT images can clearly show the spinal cord and nerves. It helps doctors determine if narrowing or disc issues are pressing on the cord — especially when balance changes, weakness, numbness, or bladder concerns need a closer look.

Walking back into the same hospital where I had surgery in 2020 stirred memories I didn’t expect. That season was hard. Isolating. Uncertain.

But this time was different.

This time I walked in prepared. I wasn’t alone. My husband was beside me. And God was already ahead of me.
Family and friends armed me with their prayers, and that carried me through.

There is something powerful about returning to a place that once held fear — and walking back out in peace.

Now I rest, hydrate, and wait for results. I trust that clarity leads to wise next steps, and I trust the One who goes before me.

Isaiah 41:10 — “Fear not, for I am with you…”

Grateful for faith. Grateful for support. Grateful for another step forward.

Heavenly Father, I am tired of carrying pain like it is a secret I have to protect. I have held it in for so long that it feels almost normal now. The old wounds. The new disappointments. The quiet heartbreaks I do not know how to explain.

I have smiled through conversations. I have said “I’m okay” without thinking. I have learned how to function while something inside me is still hurting.

But You see it all.
You see the heaviness that settles in when the house grows quiet. You see the thoughts that return when I finally slow down. You see the memories that sting and the words that echo longer than they should. You see the shame I try to outrun, the grief I try to minimize, the fear I try to hide behind strength.

Tonight, I do not want to hide anymore.

Teach me how to lay this pain down without reaching for it again tomorrow. Teach me how to release it without feeling like I am losing part of myself. I do not want to pretend it never happened. I just do not want it to control me anymore.

Lord Jesus, meet me here in this quiet.
Where there has been shame, pour out mercy.
Where there has been heaviness, breathe in peace.
Where there has been anger, soften me with gentleness.
Where there has been confusion, anchor me in truth.
Where there has been fear, wrap me in Your steady love.

I lay down the pain I have been comparing to others.
I lay down the pain I have been calling “not a big deal.”
I lay down the pain I have replayed, trying to rewrite the ending.
I lay down the pain I thought I had to carry alone.
Your hands are safe. Your heart is kind.

When morning comes, help me not to pick it back up again. When my mind drifts back to the same hurt, gently redirect me. When the ache resurfaces, remind me healing is a process, not a failure. Teach me to surrender it in small ways throughout the day, one breath at a time.

Cover this home tonight with Your presence. Quiet every anxious thought. Guard my rest. Heal the places I cannot even put into words. And if tears fall, let them cleanse, not crush. Let them water the ground where new strength will grow.

Thank You for staying with me in the quiet. Thank You for listening when I can only whisper. Thank You for loving me patiently, even while I am still healing.
I trust You with my pain.

And I trust You with what You are making out of it.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let’s join together in prayer for those facing health struggles. Heavenly Father, we lift up those who are sick and in pain. Please touch them with Your healing hand, strengthen their bodies, and surround them with Your unfailing love. Amen.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)

When someone we love is facing illness, we often feel helpless. We want to take the pain away, to fix what is broken, to rewind the moment when everything changed.

Yet God has given His people a powerful, tender response when our hands can’t solve what our hearts ache over: we can pray. Prayer is not passive; it is participation. It is the family of God gathering around a hurting member and carrying them—name by name—into the presence of the Father.

The Lord invites us to bring real needs to Him. Scripture does not shame us for asking; it calls us to it. “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them” (James 5:14). Notice the assumption: sickness will come, and prayer will follow. God designed the church to be a community where suffering is shared and hope is spoken aloud.

As we pray for healing, we remember who God is. He is not distant or annoyed by our requests. He is compassionate, attentive, and strong. Jesus’ ministry makes this vivid. He paused for the overlooked, touched the untouchable, and looked people in the eyes before He healed their bodies. That same Savior is still moved by our weakness. Hebrews reminds us that Jesus sympathizes with our frailty and invites us to approach the throne of grace to “receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Still, health struggles can raise hard questions. Some prayers feel unanswered. Some recoveries are slow. Some days are one step forward and two steps back. If you are walking through that valley, hear this: waiting does not mean God is absent.

Pain is not proof that you are forgotten. The Psalms teach us to tell the truth—lament, tears, and honest questions can become worship when they are brought to God. In the middle of the mystery, the Father often gives a gift that is just as real as physical relief: His presence, His comfort, and His strength for today.

When we intercede for the sick, we can pray in specific, faith-filled ways. Ask the Lord to ease pain, calm inflammation, and restore strength. Pray for steady breathing, restful sleep, appetite, and clear thinking. Pray for accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and wise decisions. Lift up nurses, therapists, and physicians—that they would be guided, alert, and compassionate. Pray for protection from discouragement, for endurance during long appointments, and for peace in lonely hours. Do not forget caregivers and loved ones, who may be carrying quiet burdens and hidden fatigue.

Remember too: God’s healing comes in more than one form. Sometimes He heals suddenly. Sometimes He heals through medicine, surgery, and skilled hands.

Sometimes He heals by strengthening a body to endure, or by granting peace that stands guard over anxious thoughts (Philippians 4:7). None of these are “less spiritual.” All good gifts come from Him, and every moment of sustained grace is a mercy.

Prayer also reshapes us. As we pray, we become people who notice. We learn to show up. We send a meal, offer a ride, sit quietly, or keep someone company in a waiting room. Love becomes practical. And the person who is suffering is reminded that they are not a burden—they are a beloved part of Christ’s body.

Today’s Practice:
Choose one person who is struggling physically. Pray for them by name right now, then send a short message: “I’m praying for you today.” Offer one concrete help: a meal, a ride, or a call.

Pause and Reflect:
• Who do you know right now that is sick, in pain, or overwhelmed by medical uncertainty?
• What is one specific need you can bring to God on their behalf today?
• What simple act of support can accompany your prayers this week?

Prayer:
Let’s join together in prayer for those facing health struggles. Heavenly Father, we lift up those who are sick and in pain. Please touch them with Your healing hand, strengthen their bodies, and surround them with Your unfailing love. Grant wisdom to doctors and caregivers, comfort to families, and courage for each new day. Where fear rises, speak peace. Where fatigue overwhelms, renew strength. Where loneliness lingers, remind them they are held by You and supported by Your people. Teach us to pray faithfully, love generously, and trust You completely. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
