My middle son has been having migraines almost daily for the past several months — he never had them before in his life. He has been to a chiropractor and is seeing a neurologist and is having tests run and trying different medications, but no relief yet and is missing a lot of work. I’d appreciate your prayers for him.

I learned many similar lesson with TM, especially dealing with the disappointment and frustration that it was not going to be completely healed, though the Lord did allow a great deal of recuperation.

I get so frustrated with people who say that chronic ailments are due to a lack of faith. I have always wondered what they do with Paul’s situation as well.

I hope the Lord grants you as much relief as possible, and though I am sorry you have to deal with this and wish it would just go away, it’s good to see how the Lord is using it in your life.

Oh my goodness Lizzie! I knew you had this chronic condition, but not how bad it was or what caused it. I think your perspective is absolutely the correct one. Still, it must be extremely difficult knowing God still allows that “thorn”. I’m glad you now have a good chiropractor, and I do hope it continues to improve.

I know that I would be a very intolerant and unmerciful person if it were not for the constant physical pain that I experience. It’s not that I’m heartless. I’m just a Type A, choleric person in the flesh.

That part of me has been dying as it is crucified daily, and in its place is left a very compassionate, merciful, understanding person. At least, that’s what I hope people find when they get to know me.

If I had been healed, I would have judged every other person who had not been healed as being somehow “unspiritual” or perhaps as you mentioned, lacking in faith.

There are days I’d rather be without the pain, but I am so thankful for the work God has done in my life through the pain. I am delighted to show mercy to those who are hurting. It brings me great joy, in fact!

I pray that the Lord eases your pain, and if it be His will, that He heal you even now. But if He doesn’t, I promise that He will continue to use you – just as He does through this blog – to minister to other in pain.

Blessings and thank you for this excellent post,
Alesha

I just ‘happened’ upon your blog and this post was such a blessing to me, thank you. For almost 6 months I have been dealing with severe back and neck pain. I have asked God to heal me and although I am some better I still have *quite a bit of pain* and am so limited in what I can do. Our injuries sound very similar.

Thank you, God used your post to bless my heart.

Blessings!
