I am asking for prayer to be a better person. Like many, I focus mostly on myself and I feel great regret and shame for that aspect of my character. It disgusts me so much. As I've gotten older, I have become very isolated and tired all the time. I feed about 15 homeless cats where I live. It's the only thing that gives me joy. I also feel that it is a blessing from Jesus to love and care for them. I wish I only felt great joy about going to feed them. But sadly sometimes it feels burdensome. I turned 60 this year, and I have not taken good care of myself. Therefore everything is a physical struggle. I spend a lot of time self ridiculing myself for being so selfish and self-centered. Sometimes I feel like a fraud because my feelings aren't as caring and genuine as I want them to be. I feel like I am so fake. I do feed them everyday and my heart feels joy knowing they have a happy belly for a while. I just wish I felt less ugly feelings about myself when I'm tired and think of it as a burden rather than a blessing.

Dear Lord, We come before You today with open hearts, lifting up Sharon Davis in prayer. Lord, You know her struggles, her regrets, and the burden she carries. You see the kindness she offers to those in need—even the smallest creatures of Your creation. We ask that You fill her heart with peace and remind her that her acts of love are seen and valued.
May she find strength in Your presence, knowing that her desire to grow, to love, and to be better is itself a testament to Your grace working in her life. Where there is shame, bring healing; where there is weariness, bring renewal. Let her see herself as You see her—beloved, worthy, and deeply cherished. Lord, surround Sharon with comfort and community. May she never feel alone in her journey, and may she be blessed with moments of joy that outweigh her burdens. Thank You for her heart, for her kindness, and for the love she shares with Your creatures.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen
you are feeding 15 homeless cats that sort of is a burden. Stop doing that. Call the humane society but maybe keep two favourites but get them fixed and maybe some people will adopt the others. Don't be so hard on yourself
Dear Lord, please let Sharon know that You love her as she is, regardless of her shortcomings. May Your Spirit minister to her heart in Jesus name. Your word tells that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, who walk according to the Spirit and not the flesh. I believe it is because Your Spirit dwells in her that she is conscious of what she needs to get right. But please help her by Your Spirit to leave this burden she is carrying at Jesus feet, because He cares and can handle it for her all by Himself. Amen.
Sharon, Jesus loves you as you are💝
