DAPHNE ~ hugs to you, as I know you could use some. I sent up prayers for the Lord's healing grace upon your life and your body today.
I have and do suffer lots of pain. I agree with SKINNY that GOD LOVES YOU, and He does care about you and your pain. Something has just gone wrong in your body, that's all. Have you reported this new reoccurrence of pain to your doctor? I hope so, becuz maybe there is something they can do, esp if you are bed-ridden.
Sometimes these pains will lessen and go away; that has been my experience so far. Mine get irritated by housework and exercises, or just overdoing it; so I have to be very careful all the time. If you are in a rest period, spend some time reading and memorizing POSITIVE SCRIPTURES; meditating and singing the PSALMS: this has so helped me. I write poems and songs and sing; and claim healing OUT LOUD from scriptures like JEREMIAH 30:17, MALACHI 4:2, PSALM 147:3, ISAIAH 53:5, and so on.
WHY does GOD allow these suffering periods in our life? Notice that I said ALLOW, not cause. Life causes us pain sometimes, not GOD. But GOD is with you, right by your side; and will help you get through this, and show you how to OVERCOME this trial in your life ...
Maybe you need some help from others (ie doctors and/or family); maybe you need to rest for awhile (your body may need more time to heal that disc); maybe you could use this time to grow spiritually and get much closer to GOD (give Him some of your attention today); and GOD may be trying to help you in some way that only you could know about personally.
You do have a purpose; we all do. You can become a PRAYER WARRIOR; that's what I did becuz of my physical challenges. You can encourage and support others as a Christian and a person. Did you ever work, or go to college? Do you have a special talent or skill that GOD might be able to develop right now?
You have a computer, so you can join other prayer groups and get support and encouragement from them too. Do like to write or paint? You can read to your daughter and tell stories together. You can still do things together during this time. Can you get access to an electric wheelchair to use until you feel better? There are ways to adapt while you are healing. Do you see what I mean?
Continue to live while you heal. Do what you can. And learn to do new things, in new ways. Can you get help from your family or homecare? Do you have a female relative that could take your daughter to places she might need to go to? That would help her a lot too. By being more positive, you can be an example to your daughter: teaching her by example that setbacks don't have to be permanent. A living example is the best example in this life.
So, how do you do that? Write down positive affirmations and say them out loud. Read positive stories. Limit your TV watching and to positive stuff only. Spend more time with your daughter playing games, reading, doing crafts, and helping with her homework (if she has any).
In the meanwhile, we will pray along with you for healing and a full recovery. Hang in there; and don't give up. Keeping the faith is just affirming what we are trying to believe. Faith is believing without seeing. Even if you don't feel it; just affirm it, and eventually, it will be reality. Try it: it works!
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-5 ~ 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, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. (2 Corinthians 1:3–5)
losing my faith, please help
