HAVING FAITH, THE SIXTH WAY TO BEAT PD






Through the words of the Holy Bible, the Greatest Book ever written in the world, you will find the answer to your greatest need, the miracle of healing in THE SIXTH WAY to beat Parkinson's disease THROUGH FAITH.



FAITH

"Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen."

HEBREWS 11:1



"Spring is in the air"
From an original painted with the mouth by J. La Dow


Webster defines faith as a belief and trust in and loyalty to God or a firm belief and complete trust in something for which there is no proof.  Another definition of faith is the agreement of the mind to the statement or proposition of another, based on the manifest truth of what he says. 

The word "faith" has been derived from the Middle English "feith" or from Anglo-French "feid" or "fei". It was also coined from the Latin word "fides" which is akin to Latin "fidere" or "to trust".

FAITH is not just a religion but is a way of life. It is how we perceive events in our lives and how we act on them. It is acting like a child but not being childish. Like a little boy who remained calm during a plane ride despite the turbulence because he had faith in the man in the cockpit. He trusted the pilot to make a safe landing because the pilot is hus father. Thus, faith is having a strong conviction and belief that everything happens for a reason and that God, our Father, will provide all the answers in His own time. 

It is difficult to imagine that your Parkinson's disease is healing whenever you falter in your steps and every movement that you make is slow and a drag.  It is also disheartening when you see your hands tremble and your face remains blank despite wanting to smile back.  When your posture starts to stoop and it seems that your face is ready to touch the ground, what is left is the strong belief that in time, you will overcome and beat your PD through faith in God, taking the right medicine at the right time and with the right dosage, moving your body through regular exercise and being nourished with the right kind of food.

You don't have to see to believe! If you have faith like a mustard seed, recite these prayers:

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Greatest Healer. Everything I have comes from You: my life, my health, my family, my friends, my wealth and all that matter.  I surrender them all to You as I find meaning and purpose in all that is happening to me. I claim complete healing of my mind, body, heart and soul. I claim healing for those who are suffering and are lost. I claim healing of our family tree. I claim financial blessings so I can be a blessing to others, too. May I have the patience and the endurance to hear Your answer to my prayer when You say yes, no or wait. All these I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.


PRAYER FOR HEALING OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE
THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

When my legs are frozen in place,
May God the Father push me and remind me
To lift my toes up and swing my arms
That I may walk again and not be afraid.

When I feel like falling or as my posture stoops,
May Jesus Christ, God the Son, break my fall
And catch me as I move forward
With my legs braced and feet wide apart.

When my movement is slow and I hesitate,
May God the Holy Spirit enlighten my path,
Broaden my horizon and show me the way
That I will be more agile and graceful in my steps and bearing.

When my hands and feet are shaking, or my chin trembles,
And my voice weakens as I speak,
May Mother Mary embrace me to calm me and assure me
That everything will be okay and I can rest in her arms and wait
Until everything is still and steady and I am in peace
As my voice grows strong and clear.

Forgive me, God the Father, for all my sins
Heal me, God the Son, from my Parkinson’s disease
Bless me, God the Holy Spirit, with wisdom and knowledge
Love me, Mother Mary, so that I can love and serve others despite my PD.
Thank you, Lord, for granting my prayers.

We ask all these, through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.
Amen.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be…

Blessed John Paul II, Pray for us.
St. Joseph, Pray for us.

OPTIMISM, THE FIRST OF WAY TO BEAT PARKINSON'S DISEASE


Through the words of the Holy Bible, the Greatest Book ever written in the world, you will find the answer to your greatest need, the miracle of healing in THE FIRST OF 26 WAYS to BEAT Parkinson's disease.


ADOPT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE





"Natures Beauty"
From an original painted with the foot by S. Subadri


 " Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?... Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself."
  
                                                                                                      MATTHEW 6: 22-27, 34





Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's disease but he did not allow his PD to affect his attitude in life. Aside from being a good and well loved actor, he also became a #1 bestselling author. He wrote his second book "Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist" as a testimony to his positive outlook. In this book, he writes about the personal philosophy that has helped him breakthrough his darkest hours. He also discussed his experiences with others who have emerged from difficult periods with the same shared optimism.



Fox has appeared in several shows and has been interviewed by big celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and even famous news broadcasters. He has explained that despite suffering from PD, he still makes TV appearances. Parkinson's disease did not stop him from living his life and fulfilling his advocacy. He also has been married to Tracy Pollen for most of his life fighting PD and she has been his rock. His wife said that when Fox was diagnosed with PD, it has changed him from being a workaholic to someone who has more time to spend with her and with their children and valued that time, too. Fox also pointed out how their relationship has grown stronger because of Parkinson’s disease.



Look at being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease or PD as a gift or a blessing. It will serve as an eyeopener. You will finally face the truth that you have been living your life for the past years or even decades without any real purpose. Find your passion. Before PD, your worries are all superficial and fleeting like what dress to wear or shoes to buy, when to get a new car or buy the latest gadget.  You may have been planning for a great future for your family but you hardly spend time with them. You never enjoyed watching the sunrise or even the sunset. You've never had a real vacation because you always think that it is a waste of time. You've never slowed down and have joined the rat race so afraid that you would lose your esteemed position, power and even money at any moment that you slacken your pace. It has taken the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease to wake you up that you're taking on too much to handle and perhaps taking a lot of other things for granted, too. Now is the time to savor the tranquility of your surroundings, smell the flowers, walk the dog and spend more time with your family. Start to live for the moment rather than worry about tomorrow.
