Among other things, I've experienced a physical miracle before, so I believe that the Lord is fully capable of healing me head-to-toe in an instant. I'm sure more compassionate of those who suffer, though.
Yeah, but a fraction of what I used to.Pain, suffering... Does anyone know why they exist, why we have to endure it, physically and mentally.
Its a question which halts people in their path to God. It was a hurdle for me to accept without understanding.
Do u take pain killers?

it is all part of the the fallen race....the unrelenting much to death.Pain, suffering... Does anyone know why they exist, why we have to endure it, physically and mentally.

Extremely stubborn.Is that because u have less pain or are you stubborn?
Some are just a royal pain in the rear end!it is all part of the the fallen race....the unrelenting much to death.
There are many reasons for physical pain. An unwise diet, accidents, emotional trauma, fear etc. Some can be reduced or eliminated by actively pursuing a path to wholeness. I know folk who suffer because of weight yet they refuse to change any of their habits. The love of their sins is greater than their desire for being pain free.
I ask for prayer for pain. Others respond with with compassion and prayers. Your response is that many suffer because of foolishness, laziness, overeating, and a love of their sin. Why is that?it is all part of the the fallen race....the unrelenting much to death.

I am joining in prayer for you my friend. Trust in God always. No matter how great the pain, do not give up on Him. You know already in your heart what He is able to do? Ask of Him, but do not insist. Sometimes for reasons we do not know our continued suffering is a necessary part of our walk... but then...Hi.

"Faithful" is His name!I believe it is not God's desire that we are hurt and broken, but the bad things that happen to us are a result of a hurting and broken world.
I have a few times almost lost my life because of heart attacks.
Had three bypass heart surgery.....new valve......pacemaker.... just saying.
Do I have a complete answer? No. Is God good? Yes!

He said to me, "I love you with and everlasting love." Then He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Then He said, "You've been faithful with little; now I'm going to give you more." A little later I read this and it shook me to the core of my being. "This can't be me that He's talking to...it doesn't make sense!"I am joining in prayer for you my friend. Trust in God always.

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:5
When it comes to me, you have no idea what you are talking about. You really should stop and think before you open that noisemaker of yours...keep your carnal reasoning to yourself.I hear your request Truman but not posting on your topic like others does not mean my heart is not lifted to God for you.
We want to be pain free; thats why we pray.....however, if we continue to put our hand in the fire, what do we expect?
The scriptures have given us sufficient information to live in reasonable health. If we choose to ignore it, we make the bed we lie in.
Being religious, talking piously, praying.....you know, all those things done to 'impress' God, is a far cry from following his directions.
A few years ago I did a long distance trip on a motorcycle in the Americas. In Patagonia I had several spills due to strong winds and loose roads. I fell heavily and today suffer from an aching and weakened shoulder. I do what I can to ease it with exercise and diet.
After presenting my petition to God, where to from there? Do I give up on what I know will deliver some ease or do I persevere.
The question on the psalm I quoted is when does that morning come... the one when joy comes? That was my question, but the thing I learned, which each of us must learn, is to stop insisting that God hurry up with what He is going to do. Simply ask God to help you endure what you must go through... He can do that as well.He said to me, "I love you with and everlasting love." Then He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Then He said, "You've been faithful with little; now I'm going to give you more." A little later I read this and it shook me to the core of my being. "This can't be me that He's talking to...it doesn't make sense!"
"18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim." - Ezekiel 10:18
A little later it was like a bomb went off in my life, my foundation was laid bare, and life as I knew it, died. I chose to believe His word was true, but lately I'm being tested like never before!
I know He is the Chief Cornerstone of my inner man...lately I'm not the greatest person to be around. I hope those I hurt can understand. Sometimes I'm just not myself.
