Linda Jensen, NC

Received from prayer partner, Donna P on 4/1/08, regarding Linda, NC:

"My name is Linda Jensen from Greensboro , NC . Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. I'm 47 and have been diagnosed with O.P.C.D. this year. I started having symptoms 5 years ago. I can no longer work as a nurse, or be as independent as I used to be. I'm now on disability. O.P.C.D. is a rare neurological disease with no known cause or cure. There's no treatment available. It sort of mimics Parkinson's disease. The bottom line is that my brain is degenerating or dying. The nerve pathways are not working right. Therefore I have no coordination, gait problems, tremors, fine motor skill impairment, problems with controlling my bladder (it's spasmodic), speech difficulty, and swallowing difficulty. I will eventually die after a prolonged incapacitation. I don't want to be a burden to my family. This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you know asking them for prayer. The more people that pray for me to be healed the better.

Your prayer will save my life. Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Linda, removal of this disease from my body so that I can resume a 'normal life'. I want to continue to be a mother for my 2 college age children and a loving, supportive wife to my husband, Brent. The power of prayer is unsurpassed. I believe in its healing power. God will hear our united cry from his people. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is a simple, easy request from my heart to yours. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with my request for healing. No words can express how much power we have when we ask God in prayer for help. Thank you again, and please send it to the far reaches of the earth.
Sincerely,

Linda Jensen
