It's been a tough first week in school Lord, not so much because of the bulk of what we're supposed to do (at least not yet), but more because of the headaches, the ringing and fullness of ears, some bouts of vertigo, and the fear that something might happen.

As you continue to heal me Lord, heal my heart too. I want to be brave again, while being careful and kind to myself at the same time. May this condition not lead me to be selfish, but may it teach me to to take things slow as well, and more importantly, may I learn what you've been trying to teach me in all these things.

I know you're patient with me Lord. Help me be patient with myself. May I not yield to the pressures around me, but always seek your will in prayer, and through your Word.
