My Life: Title: Living Through Long COVID: The Daily Battle Against Lingering Effects

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented global challenge, affecting millions of lives worldwide. While many have thankfully recovered from the virus with mild symptoms, others have experienced a different, more perplexing reality – the lingering effects of long COVID. In this blog post, we delve into the world of those living with long COVID, exploring the everyday challenges they face and shedding light on the importance of understanding and supporting this unique group of individuals. And I am one of those unique individuals!

What is Long COVID?

Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), refers to the condition where individuals experience persistent symptoms and health issues long after their initial COVID-19 infection. These symptoms can last for weeks, months, or even longer, making daily life a continuous struggle for those affected.

The Spectrum of Long COVID Effects

The effects of long COVID vary greatly from person to person, and their severity can fluctuate over time. Some of the most common symptoms include:

  1. Extreme Fatigue: One of the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms of long COVID is extreme fatigue. Individuals may find themselves unable to perform simple daily tasks without feeling exhausted.
  2. Respiratory Issues: Long COVID can lead to lingering respiratory problems, such as shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, even in individuals who had mild initial COVID-19 infections.
  3. Cognitive Impairment: Many long COVID sufferers report experiencing “brain fog,” memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and overall cognitive impairment that impacts their work and personal life.
  4. Chronic Pain: Persistent body aches, joint pain, and headaches are common, leaving those afflicted with long COVID in a constant state of discomfort.
  5. Emotional and Psychological Impact: The prolonged nature of long COVID can take a toll on mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation.
  6. Loss of Smell and Taste: Some individuals may continue to experience the loss of smell and taste, affecting their appetite and quality of life.

Navigating Daily Life with Long COVID

Living with long COVID means adapting to a new normal that can be filled with uncertainty and challenges. Many individuals must alter their daily routines and lifestyles to accommodate their symptoms. Here are some of the everyday effects long COVID patients grapple with:

  1. Occupational Challenges: For those who were previously employed, long COVID can disrupt their ability to return to work or maintain productivity. Cognitive difficulties and fatigue can hinder job performance, leading to career setbacks and financial strain.
  2. Limited Social Interactions: The ongoing symptoms of long COVID may necessitate isolation and social distancing measures, further exacerbating feelings of loneliness and alienation.
  3. Family and Relationships: Long COVID can put a strain on personal relationships, as partners and family members try to comprehend the unpredictable nature of the condition.
  4. Medical Appointments: Regular visits to healthcare providers become a necessity for long COVID patients, adding to their physical and financial burden.
  5. Mental Health Support: Seeking emotional support and coping with the emotional toll of long COVID become vital aspects of daily life, often requiring professional counseling or therapy.

Support and Understanding

As the medical community continues to study long COVID, it is crucial to foster empathy and understanding for those enduring its effects. Supportive measures can be taken at various levels:

  1. Medical Community: Improved research, specialized clinics, and multidisciplinary approaches are required to better diagnose and treat long COVID.
  2. Workplace Flexibility: Employers should implement flexible work arrangements to accommodate employees recovering from long COVID, enabling them to gradually return to work.
  3. Social Support Networks: Establishing support groups and community forums for long COVID patients can foster a sense of belonging and alleviate the feeling of isolation.
  4. Mental Health Resources: Increased access to mental health services can help individuals cope with the emotional challenges of long COVID.

Living through long COVID has been a daunting journey that requires patience, resilience, and unwavering support. By understanding the everyday effects and challenges faced by long COVID sufferers, we can work together to create a more compassionate and inclusive society. As we continue to fight the pandemic, let us not forget those who are still grappling with its aftermath and extend a helping hand to make their lives more manageable and meaningful.

God Bless You!

Healthy Summer?

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

I am naming this summer “The Summer of Getting Well!” By giving it a name, I possess a road map of what I must do for myself and our son to get on the right road of health. Coming back to North Carolina was not what I expected it to be for our family. These past years in North Carolina have been challenging for our health and finances. And now, to complicate matters, we are in the muck and mire of continual doctor visits. While trying to thwart these health issues and, for me, breathe better, it has come with a cost, because I contacted Long Covid back in February. 

So, our main objective is to get our health under control, even if it requires us to relocate to a better environment.  Which makes me very unhappy because we moved back to be close to family, especially our grandkids! What to do? What to do? I feel like Winnie the Pooh, pondering my problem. Except, no honey for me unless they make honey from diabetic bees.

The only disease I did not have when we moved back was Long Covid. Never one to be left out; I caught it this past February. Yep, one biological infusion wiped out my immune system, and the next day, I acquired Covid.  I could not walk or even raise my body. Fortunately for me, they have a program called Hospital at Home. So, besides their people who came in three times a day, I had my boys shoving broth and soup down me.  I did lose around 35 lbs in two weeks. But I would not have survived without all of them along with my excellent family doctor monitoring what the hospital was doing. God must have me here for a reason, but what? Because so far, I am progressing at a snail’s pace physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Are you suffering from Long Covid or a Chronic Disease that is dragging your body down and throwing your finances out the window? I know your physical, emotional, and mental anguish which can take over our ability to function every day.  It is not easy to rise above this mucky mire we find ourselves sinking into, but there are people out there with suggestions and methods to help us! We have to find the one that works for us and then do it. Sometimes a medical professional is the answer.  Take the first step toward getting well or as well as you can be this summer. 

My therapy consists of Yoga, reading my bible daily, praying, and listening to books on Audible. I have to do them for it to be effective and so will you. What activities soothe your soul? Find them and begin to heal your body from the inside out!

God Bless You!

Child, Put Some Clothes On Please!

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Have you noticed that within our female culture, less is more? Especially when it comes to fashion! Which leaves me asking, “How much more naked can one be?” And what they do not realize is that they look fat with their boobs pushed up to their chins unless they are one of those models who is a size negative zero. So how many misconceptions of quadruple chins can they present to the camera?

Let’s move on to the latest and greatest of the fashion world, illusion dresses, which are gauze material thrown over the naked body. So light you get the perfect view of the areola and nipple, no peek-a-boo here—next, the lower extremities, which I call the “cooty” area. Yes, I am old. It is a full frontal display for everyone to view, even though they do some cover or pirate patch. Modesty. And lastly is their booty floss covering the crack of their butts. It does help with keeping the dingleberries from falling onto the red carpet. Sorry, I had to say it.

Where is their self-respect when they appear more like porn stars than real stars? Tik, tok, Instagram, youtube, and other social media outlets are flooded with obscene images. What happened to REC, Respect, Elegance, Class among women, and fashion? I am embarrassed for these women because something is missing from them. I know.

I dressed in short shorts and mini skirts, and my boobs pushed up. Not to today’s mountain-high extremes, but enough to say, “look at me.” I had a damaged cog within my brain and how I saw myself. Loving and accepting myself was where the change had to begin. And then to realize God loves me, my heart, and my soul, not the outer shell I am housed within. When you have been through all I have over these past 40 years, accepting yourself is tough. My nose, because of my disease, is structure number three. Some days it is easier to feel like the freak of the week than a woman. I have to work on my self-perspective every day.

One of the things which helps my perspective is not watching the Kardashians, Beyonce, Real Housewife Franchise, award shows, etc. And I stay ahead of it on my media devices; delete, delete, delete! I believe they are playing for the wrong team—the one who owns the airwaves and is the best propagandist of all, Satan.

I love the Casting Crown’s song, Slow Fade. The first lyrics say, 

Be careful little eyes; what you see

It’s the second glance that ties your hands

As darkness pulls the strings.

Be careful Satan is not pulling your strings and leading deeper into his ways by utilizing today’s culture and social media. Be careful with what your eyes see and what you read. It is your only way to be the person God wants you to be! If you need an icon for fashion, check out Audrey Hepburn. She did not require nakedness to show her beauty, which came from her inside.

A prayer for you… 

May God Bless you and keep you within His care. May He protect your eyes, your ears, and the words that come from you. May you know His love, grace, and mercy throughout your life. 

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

Cray, Cray, Crazy World

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Wow, are things not crazy in America? We have Presidents, present and past, holding onto classified documents. And you have to wonder why? Is it to benefit them financially or to give them some sort of leverage over other people and businesses? With the attitudes of dominance and control echoing throughout the world, it would make you think that Napoleon must have come out of his grave to egg them on. “You must keep all of the secret documents and then plot your takeover!” I can see the stalwart short fellow shouting his commands. While our leaders have their bulging eyes fixated on Napoleon and their tongues hanging out, dripping, like a St. Bernard dog in 102 degree weather! Not much has changed since Napoleon tried to take over the world or Hitler either.

Talk about creepy control issues, China just flew a surveillance balloon over America. And it was not the first time. I thought they had an advanced satellite imagery system. So what is up with the balloon? Maybe they have lied about how advanced their technological systems are, just like when they say they want to be our friends. I think they want to be our friends after they conquer our country. Our world has gone crazy for dominance over other countries and people. One-upping has a new meaning with the advancing of strategic power plays. And, the winner takes all, including you and me too.


So, what can we do about it? I have learned that we can only control our reactions and actions in any given situation, not someone else. God tells us in Proverbs 19:21, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Can you imagine the schemes, agendas, and self-serving thoughts which pass through their minds on a given day? Think about your mind. I know my mind can jump on the crazy train sometimes! Wheee, and what a ride it can be at times.

So, I try to give my mind to God and ask Him to guide my ways. And when my mind does jump the rails, I try to reroute the thoughts. It does not mean I always listen or follow His advice, which I should. But it keeps you off the crazy train if you do! At least, I try. While the world is becoming more chaotic, I will trust God. Knowing that if this is to be the end of times events, including wars, natural occurrences, and man being man, God is in control. If I were to lose my life, I would gain my soul and will be holding Jesus’ hand. Fear is not an option for me. As for you, you have to decide if fear is an option for you. Can you admit God is in control and keep going forward with your own life?


When I read about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the confidential documents that Trump and Biden had forgotten to seal away, my response has become, “so what.” They do not affect my family or our everyday life. And I certainly can’t give each of these men a “dressing down” over their stupidity. Worry about and control what you can hold in your life. And the next time a spy balloon comes your way, ensure they get a shot of your best side!


God Bless You!

Beware Holiday Bakers!

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

I will take on an exhilarating and disastrous journey within the following weeks. Exhilarating because it will be fun to discover if I can do it. Disastrous because I am not good at it at all. I am going to try my hand at baking!  It may be a little late to contribute to the holiday festivities this year, but it is never too early to practice for next year.  And, I think I could be a better cook if I practiced and put some heart into it. Of course, I have been known to put a little too much heart. Just ask about the year I put the sage in the dressing we had to throw away. Who knew that they meant 2 cups of fresh sage and not the compact sage in the bottle? The Grinch would have been very proud! So, if I start now and practice practice, practice, I might make it for next year’s dinners.

Ok, there are one, maybe two, or three more complications. I am a diabetic with two new heart stents and some allergies and asthma.  But my house is full of cookbooks, some dating back to the 1940s. My son and husband are the chefs, as were our past relatives. I hope to take a recipe and make adjustments and substitutions for me to enjoy. And they will be healthy, which means low or no sugar and low or no carbs. So if you happen to see a plume of smoke over the state of North Carolina during the next two weeks, no worries.  I am practicing my cooking skills!

And maybe, just maybe, I can conjure up some healthy recipes that taste good, for all of us to enjoy!

Have a Merry Christmas!

May God Bless You and Keep You. May His Face Shine Upon You.  May you know His mercy, grace, and abundant blessings throughout the Christmas season and always! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Love

Are You Asking For A Christmas Miracle?

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Children worldwide, believing in the magic of Christmas, create an unseen current of love and hope. Be on guard because this is a contagious current, ready to jump into the nearest open heart. It is uncanny or even heavenly their ability to generate the current. I believe heavenly. So if you are searching for a Christmas miracle, breathe in a child’s happiness.

I decided long ago that children are close to God because they recently left heaven. Look into the goodness of their eyes, and you are staring directly into heaven! Unfortunately, most of us lose the view of heaven in our eyes as we become older. The world begins erasing it as soon as it can. But I have met a few people who still possess the sparkle from the stars in their eyes and fluff from the clouds hidden within their souls as they came down. They know about God’s enormous love for all His children and the miracles He still performs today. And they say, Believe!

Believe in the babe in the manger.

Believe in the man on the cross.

Believe in God’s love for you.

Do you need a Christmas miracle? I know life has been extraordinarily tough these past years, and this year has been unyielding with hit after hit to finances, family life, and mental health. No one seems to be left untouched. Do you whisper under your breath during the day, “Jesus help me?”

I am right there with you. Our own financial concerns, health concerns, a sick child, and insurance concerns. It builds and builds into an enormous mountain seemingly unsurmountable. And then I remind myself that I am not a quadriplegic, nor is our child. We can walk and breathe on our own without mechanical assistance. We live in a house, and there is food on the table. We have each other, and we have God! I can go on naming our blessings, but you get the idea.

So sometimes your miracle is being grateful for what you already have in your life! And sometimes, your miracle arrives at Christmas!

God Bless You!

December 25 Is Not Jesus’ Birthday!

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

“December 25 is not Jesus’ birthday!” That is what I wanted to shout from the rooftops when I discovered my life was a great lie. Society and prominent Pastors had led me to believe December 25 was Jesus’ birthday. So we celebrated, decorated, and did the whole nativity scene play. I was Mary as a young child. And then I studied my Bible, not just read my Bible, but learned God’s word.

During the process of intense Bible studies, I came upon the fact that the Catholic Church made a deal with the Pagans of the day to join our most important holiday, Jesus’ birthday, with their most important holiday, Winter Solstice. The Church was hoping for a massive conversion to Catholicism and Christianity. I was so angry! How dare the Catholic Church change Jesus’ birthday to suit their human purpose. But, on the other hand, maybe they did believe somewhere deep down that it was a divine inspiration. I don’t know.

FYI, shepherds do not watch their sheep in the fields during winter. The lights, trees, decorations, and parties are all a part of Winter Solstice celebrations. Suddenly my own Christmas decorations looked disgusting to me, and what about all I led my children to believe? I was trying to figure out what to do. Celebrating their way seemed like a cop-out against my Lord and Savior. I could eat some hay with the goats in the barn!

Fortunately, my biblically intelligent sister, Ibiba, took me into her hands. She explained that people worldwide celebrate the baby in the manger, whether they believe in God. They are kind to one another and generous to those in need. Some people begin searching for their Lord and Savior during this time. Through God’s majesty, something created to bring Glory to man was turned into Glory for the babe in the manger!

The more I thought about Satan and his opposing plans, an agreement between Christians and Pagans was right up his mischievous alley. If Winter Solstice were meant to supersede the babe in the manger, then the babe would become obsolete. Easy plan. But, instead, the babe became more popular, and each Christmas, people searched for the “babe in the manger!” 

Throughout my life, God has taken my stupid decisions designed to cause me more harm than they did, and if I received what I deserved, then I would be ash. But the Bible informs us of God’s immense powers! And His plans are unchangeable! Even when we try to take control and make our plans. Then there is Satan, who keeps throwing us monkey wrenches in, but God supersedes Satan every time.  

By the way, Jesus’ birthday is in April, probably around the same time He was crucified. Of course, I like to imagine Jesus was born on May 21, my birthday!

My Favorite Reminder Bible Verse

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and those who are called according to his purpose. 

Now I celebrate Christmas just like I always did, except this time I do it to the Glory of the babe in the manger, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I put our tree up, fill it with lights and ornaments, and try to spread joy. If I can show people the “babe in manager,” maybe I can point to the “man on the cross,” too!

God Bless You!

I Met The Widow/Widower Maker

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

The last time I wrote on the blog, I had no clue that I was about to meet the widow maker. The widow maker is the cardiologist’s nickname for the main artery in the heart when it becomes blocked and causes a heart attack. Usually, when you have a widow-maker heart attack, it is too late to remedy the situation. I say God takes care of fools and drunks; since I was not drinking, a fool is a better description of me.

I met the widow maker in the first part of May of this year. Recognizing the symptoms from the years of seeing my grandfather and father’s heart disease should have been easy. Except I kept associating my symptoms with my asthma symptoms. I experienced shortness of breath, inability to move, and weakness. And yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, it told me it was my heart. Maybe the thought of adding heart disease to my list of conditions and doctors made me reluctant to admit my need to see a cardiologist.

Then in May, the widow came pounding while crushing my chest in the dark of late night! I was frightened. My inner voice said to get two Bayer aspirin and chew them up; then my response was to call out to Jesus, and I did. Finally, the pain subsided, and I wiped off my sweaty body. No, I did not go to the hospital but waited until morning to see my family doctor. Stupidity and stubbornness run deep within my veins!

After I found out that I had 80 % blockage in my middle artery and would require two stents, I was ready to submit to treatment, and start seeing a cardiologist. The best part of the whole situation was Cardiac Rehab! I went two days a week, and it helped me to rebuild my strength along with my hope for a better, healthy future.

You are probably wondering why I am sharing this personal information. I want you to be more heart aware when it comes to your health.  Go get yourself a Cardiologist and have your heart checked out.  I think you will be glad you did!

God Bless You!

Dear President Biden and Constituents

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

Dear President Biden and Constituents:

Why are you destroying America? First, before your election into office, you utilized subversive groups like BLM to gut America straight down the middle. I know this was a way to beat the people into submission, gain fear votes, and put Trump in his place, but why? Were your methods any better than Putin with his missiles and Russian soldiers to suppress and capture the Ukrainians?

The only difference is that they are fighting back for their freedom. Something we seemed to have forgotten about in America, our freedom.

And now you are systematically destroying our economy, way of life, and hope! [If required, I can re-word the post to engage the dumbing down methods of Vice President Harris when she speaks to the American people.]

You and your constituents have invested in the green agenda. Allowing you to acquire more wealth while leaving Americans deciding whether to buy gas to go to work or buy groceries to feed their families. Mr. President, you probably do not understand poverty since you are not experiencing it, and probably never have, the destitution you are now unleashing on America. It is insufferable! But why should you care? Maybe the absolute destruction and the death of America has been your purpose all along. I pray not!

And please do not think that I am a Trump supporter! Playing games and hedging your bet kind of politics makes me ill. When I voted, I voted for the less of two evils—what a way to pick your President! I will tell you that I did not vote for you because I don’t care for Kamila Harris, and I like Mike Pence. Yes, I went for the best future President as my deciding factor. 

In the Bible, we are given descriptions of how a leader should be. And I can cite numerous ones in which our American representatives and you, Mr. President, do not follow God’s word:

  1. Matthew tells us a good leader must first be a good servant of their citizens.
  2. In Philippians, selfish ambition and conceit should not measure your actions.
  3. Proverbs speaks concerning ruling in truth.

Matthew 20:26 “But among you, it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be a servant.”

Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not for his own interests but also for the interests of others.”

Proverbs 29:14 “If a King judges the poor with truth, his throne will be established forever.”

With the stroke of your pen, Mr. President, you can turn America around. Do you have the courage? Can you turn your back on this divisive agenda and prove to be the answer to our prayers? Or will we have to wait until mid-term elections and remove your constituents? And lastly will be the next presidential election be another pick of the lesser of two evils while America slides down the slippery slope of destruction?

My Suggestions:

  1. Reopen the Keystone pipeline.
  2. Take the drilling permit holds down to two weeks.
  3. Build the fence at the border.
  4. Higher pay for border patrol and hire more border patrol. Create a lucrative career agenda.
  5. Provide federal incentive to bring all manufacturing back to America. Give the ordinary small businessman/woman a chance to own their piece of America.
  6. Do not initiate these suggestions as the former President did by hedging your bet. Do it with Truth, Integrity, and for the American People! I have more ideas, but these five should catapult you to Hero President status.
  7. And always pray to God for His discernment in your decisions!

Now, let’s address the Russian, Ukrainian War. This War did not cause our gas or inflation problems. Admit the truth; quit lying. Poland can put the planes at the Ukrainian border, and Ukraine can push them into their country. The British did this with our airplanes and Canada during WWII, which enabled them to get more planes in Britain’s hands before we entered the War and kept all treaties in place. Putin is a bully who is not going to stop in Ukraine, and that is why it is imperative you initiate my suggestions. We need the iron arm of Rosie, reminding the world Americans are unified and strong! And only with strong leadership can we precede. Then Putin will crawl back into his hole.

America Can Do It Again!

So, what is next for you? Will you transport America into the ashcan of poverty and third-world country status? Or are you going to stand up for the people of America? Will you continue to follow your wealthy trust fund brats who have no clue concerning the real world and find yourself labeled as the “Worst President in American History?” Or will history see you as the President who saved America and put WWIII into submission?

Your decision is America’s future!

God Bless You,

Sincerely,

Joni Berry

Please forward this blog post! Only by raising our voices we, the American people, can create change for a better future for our children and grandchildren!

Mad At The World!

Posted on by jonithetentmaker

I am mad, angry, and utterly frustrated that the whole world can sit back and watch in real-time the obliteration of an innocent country! While world leaders are trying to walk the middle of the road and give a reflection of helping Ukraine, our American President is systematically allowing America to disintegrate under inflation, high gas prices, supply chain breakdowns, and open borders. And when he smiles that asinine Cheshire cat grin while listing the excuses for his failures, you know it is a big fib!

By the way, President Biden, Jen Psaki stated that to start up the Keystone Pipeline would take years to see any results. So isn’t it better to go ahead and start it now than to be two years behind the eight ball? Just asking you.

I try to think about Jesus and what He would do to help His people during my times of frustration. For example, when Jesus got mad, He cleaned house, and I wish I possessed the ability and courage to do just that! 

And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

Matthew 21:12-13

Yep, America’s leaders are a den of robbers! We are not alone; the other world leaders have followed us into the pit of lies, deceit, and lack of care for their fellow citizens. If you don’t believe me watch President Biden’s State of the Union address. He had an open mic moment when he expressed that he doubted the independent voter would buy the inflation excuse. Maybe the people who voted him into office will swallow his stinky disguise of sewage lies. But not me! I have lived too long and seen too many politicians foam at the mouth.

Only President Zelensky has displayed the courage of Jesus! Swift action should have been taken months ago. But it is too easy for leaders to double talk and play both sides of the field. They are hedging their bets. No one seems to have the resolve to stand firm on what is right. Because if they do, they can’t fill their pockets with golden calves or maybe 30 pieces of silver.  

And in two years from now, when Russia has invaded more countries and America is in the ashcan, what’s next? Was it worth selling your soul to the highest bidder? Did you know that if you lose your soul to the world, you will have nothing to stand before Jesus? If the world leaders and our politicians do not mind living eternity in hell while their relatives reside with Jesus in heaven, that is not my problem. It only makes me sad for them.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8: 34-38

I wonder what did President Biden, the World Leaders, and Putin exchanged for their souls?

What do you think?

The video below displays pictures of t-shirts on my Etsy store, Originally Amelia. I tried to price each one so they would make a $5.00 profit after the Etsy costs and the Printful costs are paid. Every penny of the profit will be donated to the orphanages of Abundance International in Ukraine. Abundanceinternational.org

I wish I could go and help. It stinks to be held down by this darn disease. But I will keep praying and posting.

My prayer.

Heavenly Father,

I come before your throne of grace, mercy, love, and hope and bow down before you with praises, my never-ending love for you, and my tears of sorrow for what is happening to Ukraine and the world. I ask for Your wings of protection to cover Ukraine, her people, and her leaders. Please lead the Russian soldiers to peace and to sabotage their equipment so that they will not be able to engage in war. Have them stand up for what is right when their leaders will not. If needed, please send your Angel armies to help the Ukrainian people fight for their land.

Father, please heal the hearts of all involved and give peace to a nation living in fear.

In Jesus Holy Name, I Pray!

Amen and Amen!
