Sorry this isn't my usual upbeat type of blog, but have been dealing with my chronic pain issues. Have been using pain patches and tried a rub-in pain cream, but the action of rubbing it into my sore areas made me feel much worse. I'm struggling with why God continues to allow this pain, while at the same time I feel very frustrated that it is stopping me from doing what I'd like to be doing. It has been affecting my life for many years, so you'd think I'd be used to it, but I'm not. Guess I'm just too dang stubborn to give in to it, and I keep pushing myself to not let this pain get the better of me. As I was praying about it today, the Lord had me read some of one of my favorite authors, Charles H. Spurgeon, and as usual it really spoke to me. It was His way of encouraging me to go on.
I'd like to share what I read with you, especially for those of you who are having a difficult time, regardless of whether it's chronic pain like me, or it's just life's struggles that are getting you down. Maybe you're having difficulty in a relationship. I hope this brings you comfort...
The writing that I found inspiring can be found under today's date

Thank you for this! You and I are sisters in pain, but we always do our best to stay above it. Some days can get the better of us tho.
This is a good source that I will check into getting my own copy of the book.
Sending ((HUGS)) out your way!
