I've been sleeping better sometimes after a sleepless night sleeping several hours before noon.

I've been feeling better also, physically and moods.

I haven't been going off on others as much, and If I do, it's controlled anger.

I've been trying to be more grateful for what I have, and not complain about things, even though some of the medications i take make me agitated and acting out a bit, such as cough remedies.

I had a stroke, my left side was paralyzed. I woke in the ambulance and all signs of the stroke immediately went away. A group had immediately gone into prayer.

You got me thinking, if Grace working in your life leaves evidence, we would be able catch Her in the act, and that would not go over good with not by works who think they already captured Salvation. And maybe she likes not leaving evidence. Makes me think of someone who asked the Lord: Why don't you reveal Yourself to more people? To reveal Myself I have to make Myself vulnerable. "God resists the proud but gives Grace.to the.Humble." I hear the Lord speak to me every other day, but I don't know if that counts as evidence, obedience of Faith would be. You know, the difference between hearing and doing the work. Evidence is "Faith that Works by Love," and we are in the process. You know, "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." So if we see it we no longer hope for it.
I can give you a description of what the evidence looks like, to have a relationship with God as a friend that would be comparable to romantic Love and unlike romantic Love, would not wear out after the first year of marriage. I will post it after this.
I do have a wife waiting for me that could be used as evidence, since had the Lord not intervened I would have lost her many times over.

"The way of a man with a maiden"
A new relationship effortlessly drawn to Love:
"Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth willbe bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they shall ask, it will be done for them of my Father in heaven. For where two ormore gather in My Name, there I Am with them.”
The Song of songs is similarity of romantic love and friendship Love with God. Love is its own reward, motivating therelationship of its own accord, to cease from ourselves and find rest in the Beloved. While thanksgiving rules the heart, what we see and hear, reason and speak, or eat and drink, does not distract from Love. Neither does our prayer need to be filled with words, but agreement of Love. Agreement more wonderful than we could dream becomes reality and nothing else real. Likewise when God is our first Love we enter into the wisdom of God as reality and nothing else real. "From now on we know no man after the flesh." "Without Love I am nothing." This is not too wonderful to experience in romantic love, but we don’t attain to remain on this mountaintop. "In the world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer I have overcome the world." When we desire to be borne emotionally by our mate, we sink in a relationship of expectations, rather than a relationship with the Lord. While we are not One with God as we should the relationship becomes work. We long to be loved intimately and carried emotionally but having left our first Love, what was once effortless is now tiring. We suffer many ups and down to learn to cease from ourselves and find our rest in God. Even trying to impress our mate we don't Love as God Loves, but God is with us in trouble and we can’t without Him put away our divided spirit that interrupted Him. To guard our hearts from taking things in our hands again by the influence of Grace. When there is no one left to distract us, Jesus is the Door and the Way." To cease planning and wishing with imagination and enter in a journey of discovery we can’t imagine. The inner life of Jesus is hidden in solitude and unless we are led by His Spirit we don't know the Way. Admiration worship is in secret, to find Him openly in everything. "He that is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with Him." "The Spirit helps us in our infirmities, as we don't know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groans that can’t be uttered."
