He Is With You

I’ve had a very decent and productive day. However, something is definitely buzzing like crazy in my nervous system. My hands feel like they are 100 degrees. My hands, legs, and feet continue to vibrate. I hate it when I have no clue how to stop it.

I prayed a lot more than usual today. Not for God to just remove this storm. Instead, just to help me weather this storm. It could be the weather, stress, or just my nerve damage rearing it’s ugly head. I follow up with my pain specialist tomorrow. I may talk with him about a potential Rhizotomy to burn the nerves in my lower back.

In the meantime, I’m just seeking to live mindful of my condition. I’m so thankful for the pain relief I have received. I’m confident my nerves will settle back down soon. Even when you’re a pastor you can’t deny your humanity. Hopefully, I fall asleep quicker tonight and my nerves are calmed soon.

Praying for anyone reading this that’s going through a battle. Trust me, the God beside you is greater than the battle before you. Sometimes you can’t just get over things. However, God can take you through anything.

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2
