“IN SEARCH OF”

There are times when it is hard to smile, for when I do the the pain shows through, but if not for this pain, would I know to fight? My pain is more than a physical sensation that is signaled from the body to the brain, it is a mental labyrinth of exhausting corridors of twist and turns in search of relief. As my pain begins to wake I frantically search for substances to fight off this invading force, and as I search, I search with reckless abandon, for the time grows near as my pain begins to yawn and spread his outstretched arms, both signs of his impending rise. As I continue my fruitless search for a substance to kill my pain my pain finds me instead. Now standing tall and towering over me I drop to my knees and I begin to pray:

“Lord as my pain continues to take advantage of me I pray to You for relief, for the pain that I feel daily rises. Lord I pray that You take this pain that has invaded my body and send it back from whence it came. Lord I do not know how long I will be able to endure this worldly pain, but what I do know, is that I am truly in need of Your Saving Grace.”

Amen

“Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for You are the one I praise.”

Jeremiah 17:14
