Praying for those who won't fight for themselves.

My mother was recently diagnosed with PLS - Primary Lateral Sclerosis.  Saving medical speak, PLS is a gradual death of the nerves that control voluntary motor skills, like walking, using the bathroom, swallowing and, perhaps most evil, smiling.  The progression has been extraordinarily quick - in the last year she's lost all ability to walk without the aid of a walker, climb into bed by herself, control her bowels all of the time and to climb safely in and out of the shower.  Doctors have said this advanced stage is usually only arrived at after several years with the disease.  Upon hearing this, she gave up all hope.  She refuses to attend the physical therapy that would keep her moving and limber for years to come and give her a normal lifespan.  She downs chemicals in order to kill the pain, but doesn't listen to the warnings that these “medicines” may worsen her condition and cause nerve loss, weight gain and chemical dependancy - all of which they've done.

And now I come to my request.  I would like the strong, loving souls of this community to lift up with me the following words to help all of those, like my mother, who have, for whatever reason, given up on their will to fight:

Give to those without it, the recognition and use of their inner strength.
Give to those without it, stamina, that their strength be of utility.
Give to those without it, endurance, that their stamina not falter.
Give to those without it, peace, that their endurance not be a burdon.
Give to those without it, love of life, that peace blooms in its most magnificent form.
