You are a stumbling block ...Get behind Meri, Satan! You are a stumbling block to her; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns. Matthew 16:23<br /><br />Father, I come before you in Jesus' name, and I thank you for giving me all power and authority over all demons. I cover Meri and all her family members in the blood of Jesus. I thank you for your giant warring angels that are surrounding them, protecting them from all harm of the enemy. I command any evil to leave their area now in JESUS' name. I bind up every demon that was sent, transferred, or followed her, and I command the evil to come out of her conscious and subconscious mind, and all parts of her body in JESUS' name. Amen.<br /><br />Praying you don't hear those awful voices any more. You are an amazing person doing the best you can to minister to other's needs, all while putting yours on hold. You aren't letting anyone down! Get yourself a little notebook and write every day what you want to get done, and then star the top three. You would do yourself a great kindness to only expect what's possible. : ) Treat yourself with love like you would treat everyone else. You deserve it! Hugs to you!!

It is helpful to hear you feel inadequate and squichy-brained . . . because you speak for us all.<br /><br />The blessing today is wrapped up in dark clothes, but we all know what is underneath . . . a sparkly rainbow unicorn who works magic with her pancreatic skilz!<br /><br />Seriously, though.
