On Monday, I got a bad migraine, and I also threw out my lower back. I want to believe that I have learned how to deal with pain, but the truth is every time it knocks me to my knees. I find myself wanting relief and praying to God to please help me deal with the pain. This time is just like all the rest. After a few days, I feel really tired, and I am finding that the pain is starting to make me lose my focus. I know that the pain should go away soon, but I don’t know when and the not knowing is really getting to me.
I want to be strong and to trust in God, but physical pain is really difficult. I guess it is like a tunnel in my life journey. I can’t go around it or find another way. I just have to go through this really dark tunnel, and I just have to take God’s hand and let Him lead me through it. At some point, I will see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I will find myself on the other side, but for now I am just wandering around in the dark with this pain in my lower back.
I guess faith is holding on to God and believing that there’s another side to the tunnel even when my back hurts so much I can’t hardly stand it.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
