Lorelai, don’t know if you still read this, but just wanted to say thanks again for the prayer you prayed a few months back, and that I actually still hang onto it b/c I know God was speaking through you. God bless.

For those of you who are hurting…stemming from others in your life……

“Dear Child of Mine

I look back on the years of your growing up, and my eyes can see all the times and situations in which you were hurt, whether intetntionally or unintentionally. I can hear the wounding words and see the harmful deeds, and I know the scars you carry in your personality because of them. Sometimes the very people you looked to for love and affection were the ones who wounded you most. Sometimes they were members of your own family!

But hear me now, my child. Though they have wounded you, I will never wound you. Though they have let you down, I will never let you down. Though their words and deeds have harmed you, I speak to you words of hope and healing. I reach out to you with justice and kindness and love. I am constantly thinking of you, my child. You are always with me. I cannot forget you for one moment. See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Come now and let me heal the wounds of your childhood.

Your loving Abba

God

Linda R, You are SO right. Medications can help and they can also make more problems. I hate the morphine yet if it can break the cycle of pain I have reluctantly used it.
I understand chronic pain as it has been w/me for so many years. It is since finally having the Sjogren’s diagnosis that I am finally having some release and I thank God for those pain free times.
As for depression; it seems that anyone I speak to who deals w/chronic physical pain is given them as the pain drains ones body of so much.

You like me and millions of others pray for and long for the day when we will receive our new spiritual bodies!

As you say, Having Jesus is our all-in-all! There are times of such deep intimacy w/HIM when I find myself on a bed of pain [yet again]. I am sure that you must have these incredible times of intimacy w/HIM as well? Your comment above tells me this is true!

Andi once again thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement,I have taken morphine for years and it definitely helped. But every time I ended up in the psychiatric ward for my depression the nurses kept on me about taking the morphine and would say it was because I was taking the morphine I was depressed so finally I just decided to stop taking it. It never changed a thing. Long to short of it is I still have my pain and still have my bipolar depression BUT to top it all off I Still have My Jesus & I Know That He Will Always Be With Me, Even when I feel He is a Thousand Miles away He is Still Right Beside Me. “PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME”
So Thank you ladies for your prayers! Hugs, Linda!!!

Anon, all things in God are ‘in process’ it seems. Rest dear one and we will pray.

Linda R, I understand. I have numerous pain killers in the medicine cupboard including morphine [which I hate yet there are times it has been the only thing to relieve the pain]. I pray you will begin to have times of remission and freedom from pain. I will continue to lift you up to HIM. Be blessed this day dear online friend.

sisters, I want to write more, but I cannot as I am going on an overnight trip. But, I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for including me in your precious prayers. You truly have no idea what it means to me. And Lorelei, thank you so much for speaking God’s heart & voice to me. It truly brought me to tears, because I KNOW that was God speaking to me directly, and that IS how He speaks to me. It is just that, during this testing time, and beacuse I am human, it is hard to hear God’s voice so easily during the storm (when I used to regularly) and when even Christians’ voices and ‘advice’ sometimes seem to get in the way. I know they mean well, but how hard it is, for us to really be pure vessels of God’s voice, rather than our flesh speaking through sometimes. I am sorry, I don’t mean this in a negative way, but I am continuing to try to offer these things to God. He is working on it.
On a sidenote, thank you for those who shared, and offered advice. But truthfully, I have heard SO MUCH, for almost a few years now. Truthfully, it is God alone who knows my story, there is no way I could ever tell a person every detail of what happened. I have been rebuked, forgotten, given advice to, etc., but truthfully, all I ask for is prayer, rather than having to do this or that… truthfully I am tired, and I just want to rest in God’s arms. Thank you for your words, but I just ask for prayer. Also, in terms of letting go and forgiveness, personally, you may not know the journey I’ve had to go thru, and believe me, God knows how I ask everyday to help me forgive. So please understand that it is not like I am trying not to forgive. But please understand also, the context of each person’s situation, and also that some are more ‘traumatic’ than others, or more ‘recent,’ so it does take some time. I know people are not perfect, believe me. I am trying, and I believe that’s what God wants. So I hope you can continue to pray for me, truthfully, my mind is not able to ‘take in’ anymore ‘advice’ anyway as it seems like it’s reached a limit. I have been thru counseling, etc., and my counselor changed jobs recently. That is why all I ask for is… prayer. Thank you again so much. God Bless You.

Thank you Loreli and Andi for your prays I so appreciate them. Andi thank also for the suggestion of the Arnika Cream and the MSM but yes I am way past that. First I could never rub cream all over me I would scream as it hurts sometimes so much just to touch me I feel Iike I am on fire. I unfortunately take several medications but none of them totally help and things are just getting worse, but once again I so appreciate all your prayers! Hugs Linda!!!! Have a Wonderful Day!
