Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I have been sick on-and-off since the start of this year. This is not a life-threatening sickness in any way (that I know of or suspect), but it has seriously impacted my life. My grades dropped terribly in college this Spring semester, and I am being drained of all physical and mental energy to do anything.

It starts with a fever that lasts a few days, survived by a severe cough (so as to injure ribs, wear me out, and often keep me from classes and/or public places) that lasts about two weeks. After that I'm better for a little bit, then it starts all over again.

While I am, of course, pursuing physical and medical avenues to recovery, I would much appreciate your prayers for physical healing and an understanding of God's purpose for this trial. His will be done!
