Currently I am recovering from spinal fusion back surgery which was March 18th. I am trying like crazy to follow Dr restrictions on what I should and should not be doing. Lifting no more than fifteen pounds, is difficult as I want to hold my grandbabies but have been following, bending however is proving very difficult. How do you retrain a 53 yr old brain to suddenly Not do things you have done your entire life? I have been warned that this is my final stop before a wheelchair which is a terrifying thought. Please pray for me, still quite a bit if pain but am improving quickly and nearly off the painkillers and back to my CBD and Ibuprofen 800mg and muscle relaxer only. Desperately wanting to quickly eliminate anything potentially addicting.

I pray the Lord gives you all that you want in this. There is no reason not to believe that God will do it. Everything has been provided to you in the salvation Jesus accomplished on His cross and in His resurrection, and you have complete access to God through Him as His beloved child in Christ. He is very much on your side.
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (Jesus - Mark 11:24)
God is into saying yes to us, not finding a reason to say no.
"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." (Jesus - John 16:24)
Sounds like you might have some time on your hands. There is a great benefit to meditating on how big God is, how much He is on our side, and what He has promised to us. I say this from experience, having gotten healing and even miracles in my own life just because I believed Him, and for no other reason. I am not special. This is the children's bread, and it is for everyone who trusts Jesus for their salvation.
Just one story to back up my experience with this: 40+ years ago I had to stop running because of excruciating pain in my knee. I asked anyone I knew to be full of faith to pray for it, but when nothing happened, I decided to stop that, and I told the Lord, "Look, I know you had to hear at least one of those people, so I'll count it done." Nothing happened again, and a few days later, during the time I used to run, I heard, very clearly, "Healed people don't lay around on their sofas." I knew it was the Lord, and I knew what He wanted me to do. I went out to run my 3 miles, but I was suffering, and as I hobbled into the last mile the pain started to make me mad. I began to yell at the devil and said, "Get out of here! God healed me, and you're not going to steal this from me!" The pain instantly left may knee, and I ran the rest of the way home with no pain at all, praising God all the way. It never came back. I got healed of migraines, (also going on 40+ years pain free), sicknesses, including Covid with no help from doctors, and I had a bad heart attack that didn't matter. (It was the kind of heart attack that makes people keel over dead, but I didn't know what was happening and I waited more than 18 hours to go to the hospital, trusting that God was aware of the situation and was hearing our prayers.
God will do the same for you and more, and He will be glad to do it. Our faith really makes Him happy.
Amen More than for myself, I am trusting Him for open doors for starting Camp Yesu to help, heal, provide for, teach many lost, broken, hurting in Jesus Almighty name. He put the mission on my heart, so I know it is from Him.
I believe that will come sooner than you might be expecting. When those doors open and you feel released to start, run through them. God will give you everything you need to do His will, and many will come to your side to help you. Only pray that He gives you the discernment to see who is worthy. We've seen how Satan gets in to corrupt things, but that doesn't have to happen anymore. We can stop it before it starts because Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth, and in His name He gave us power over all the power our enemy. All means all, even the power to deceive. The ones who are beginning to realize that aren't putting up with the devil anymore, and those are the folks we need to partner with in a unity of faith and love.
The Great Awakening is already here, and it's waking up the sleeping ones in the church who will hear the voice that is calling to them. Soon it will be like an army popped up out of the ground who know their God and do exploits without fear––a bunch of no-names who seek no glory for themselves, whose numbers multiply by the day. This is going to be a very different generation of Christians from any we have known before. This is the time when the bride starts getting ready to meet her betrothed, and she won't be meeting Him powerless, hobbled, scratched, and dirty.
If it is on your heart, my brother, be bold and show them the living God who paid such an enormous price for their salvation. Show them how mighty Jesus' name really is. Show them how much He loves them––a bruised reed He will never break, and a smoking flax He will never quench. Your reward will be great in heaven, and no one on this earth will ever be able to touch it. Let His kingdom come, and let His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I believe that you are one who will see it with your eyes, but not from a distance. You will be swimming in it. All grace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen-Thank you. Recently while in prayer over Camp Yesu and asking the Lord questions about it, God spoke to me and said “I will raise up an army, My Army out of those I send you to save”.
