My body

I stand in agreement with you for your healing sister. I pray for the healing of mind, body, soul and spirit of every family member and I will continue to do so each day. May the healing hand of our Lord and Saviour be upon your shoulders, hips, legs and entire body. I pray you will get stronger every day and that the pain will be less and less each day until it is gone from your body.

God hears all of our prayers, but we must know that sometimes there is a purpose to our pain. This is not an easy thing to accept, but please remember that sometimes we are allowed to suffer for reasons only He can see and know. As you walk through suffering, do not let it shake your faith, and do not waiver in your walk with Him. Even Paul, and those who journeyed with him, suffered sickness and pain many times. Yet they remained faithful, strong, and even thankful amidst that great suffering. We must do the same, trusting in the Lord that all things work together for the good of those who love God (Romans 8:28). Also, when you find yourself in the midst of sufferings, remember what the Lord taught us in the story of the beggar and the rich man - that Lazarus, having received evil things in this life, was comforted in the life to come (Luke 16:22-25). We too, when allowed to suffer in this life, will receive our comfort in the eternal life to come.

Sometimes, when we are allowed to suffer, it is so our faith and thankfulness in the midst of that suffering can be a testimony to the unbeliever as well as our brothers and sisters in Christ who are dealing with their own sufferings. Be strong, be thankful in all things, and be that testimony that our Lord needs us to be for others.
