sick at the stomach

"PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in ALL our troubles..." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Sometimes, no matter how cautious we are, we get sick.  And as with the stomach bug, sometimes there is nothing we can do except stop, rest and wait for it to run its course. 

Painfully, sickness raises its ugly, unwanted head in many forms, degrees and lengths -- physically, mentally and/or emotionally... 

loss of job
health issues 
loss of a loved one
ugly disputes
unfair treatment
split relationships
alienation
unstable home life
cruel remarks
rejection 
discrimination
physical, mental or emotional pain

and healing comes in different forms.  Sometimes to our liking, and sometimes not.

Yet, there is ONE common denominator in any and ALL healing... God, our Healer and Physician. He comes to us with perfect purpose and His perfect healing.  He never flinches or wavers in His mission, covering us with the soothing balm of His unconditional, faithful love.  

Father, often we endure more than we want and more than we feel capable of handling.  But you remind us over and over again, we aren't expected to handle it alone. When we hurt and feel we can't go on, it's ok.  You come and sit with us comforting, tending and counseling until we are healed and can walk again along beside You. Now on my knees, Father, i can thank You because i remember and know Your Almighty Power.  In You, i must trust. 

On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us...
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
