Conversations for Coping: Prayer, Peace and Dealing with Upsets in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Summary

Daily prayer, described by Brenda Brown Elliott as "Letting Go" and "Letting God," practiced as an ongoing coping habit rather than a defined course of treatment. She writes of living with the daily pain, fatigue and frailty of ME/CFS but does not state how long she had been ill or how severe it was. She reports prayer gives her a sense of contentment and even joy, and helps her accept rest when she needs it. She is explicit that this is an emotional and mental effect only, stating no physical recovery or increased physical functioning from praying and describing no change in her underlying illness.
