My Every Morning Prayer
Religion & Spirituality / by fairmindedCucumber3571
Last post
 May 31st
...See more Heavenly Father, thank You for the start of a whole brand new day to do with as I choose. Help me to use it productively and in service of You. Keep me in a positive, grateful, and loving state of mind. On this day, let me employ honesty with myself and all others, as well as open-mindedness. Prevent me from being selfish or self-destructive and show me how to best be of use. Enable me to use my time and resources well. Remind me to pray, center myself and meditate on your word throughout the day. If distress or depression arises, give me the response needed and help me to reach out to you before doing anything else. Thank You for what I will do, see and hear today and who I will interact with. The rest of the day, may I operate in Your Will, amen.

...See more Stretch as much as you can. Scrunch your muscles up tight until they hurt...then release Run as fast as you can for one minute, slow run for two minutes, speed up another minute, then rest. Take a deep breath and distance yourself from the initial reaction. Observe your emotions from a distance, like watching someone you love go through it. Send a heart warming message to someone you care about, telling them how much they mean to you. Do some relaxing skin care Write on individual slips of paper things that make you happy and put them in a jar. When upset, pick and read one, then replace. Start a memory book of your happiest memories. Add to it as you go. Play a musical instrument and make your own piece. (Free drum set, piano, guitar and DJ Mixer -all in the app store. ) Best used on a Tablet.

Calm Harm
Self-Harm Recovery / by fairmindedCucumber3571

...See more There is an app called calm Harm that suggests short activities to replace self harm. It's helped me a lot and I strongly urge any recovering self-injurer to try it out if making an honest effort. I'm going to start posting from time to time some of the activities I liked best. Draw an intricate design where you want to harm, do one self care activity every time you see it. Take a soft paintbrush and lightly paint your skin Make a recording of yourself saying as many positive things as you can about something that matters. Identify 3 small things that brought you happiness in the past 24 hours Think about what is bothering you. Imagine boxing it up and sending it away on a conveyor belt.

Renewal Prayer

 May 26th
...See more Heavenly Father, bring me to a new chapter in my life. I have been drifting into nothingness for a while now. Revive my soul and bring me to an acknowledgement of your goodness. Keep me from going numb or remaining in apathy. Wake me up and show me the many possibilities that I can't see on my own. Give me a view of my own potential. Let life spread out before me and widen my perspectives. You have created a beautiful, wondrous, and diverse world- give me the strength to be a part of it. Guide me to interests and endeavors that will benefit myself and others. Keep me engaged in and occupied with worthy actions. Develop my hobbies into passions and make me realize how much freedom I truly do have. Thank you for all the amazing opportunities throughout my life. Thank you that I can always renew and open my mind. Help me use every chance I can to get closer to you. Thank you for what I know is becoming a very special time in my life. Amen

...See more Heavenly Father, Thank Thee for this brand new day. Help me on this day to honor you. I don't have much of a plan but help me to be productive.

Tonight's Prayer
Religion & Spirituality / by fairmindedCucumber3571

 May 25th
...See more God, thank you for once again calling me back to you and inspiring me to change my habits. Thank you for never completely letting me go. Forgive me for going astray so many times. Forgive me for being stubborn and resisting your sway. Forgive me for my continuous sins, like not taking care of my body. Forgive me for not exerting myself in life and trying to accomplish more. God, help me to not only change but change wholeheartedly. Help me to reach the end of myself and only care about your purpose for my life. Please show me what that purpose is. Root out and forgive my selfishness. Help me to give myself fully to you. Teach me to praise and give you glory with my whole being. Keep me from thinking too highly of myself or abandoning your ways. Protect my walk that I may stay on your path. Forgive my laziness and busy me with your work. Protect me from distraction and keep me fully focused on you. Amen

Insanity
Alcohol & Drug Addiction Support / by fairmindedCucumber3571
Last post
 May 25th
...See more I gave up alcohol and street drugs a few years ago. I regularly go to recovery meetings, have a sponsor, do stepwork. Alcohol and drugs don't cause any trouble for me anymore. I have a serious quality-,of-life health condition that I take strong medications for. I have a serious problem with taking much more of my medication than I need to. I need the medication at home with me, I can't stay stable on any lower dosages or less powerful, and I am home alone all day. I keep overdosing and ending up on a ventilator, it's going on 6-7x of acute respiratory failure and hospital stays. When I first get out of the hospital I am very careful about dosages and instructions but then I gradually take slightly higher and higher amounts until yet another OD. Any advice?
