Back on the Pain Train

Well, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve written about my pain. I guess that in itself is a praise report. It’s not that I’ve not had pain, but the pain has not been holding me hostage near as much. However, this week I’ve been living on the pain train.

Anyone who has been in this sort of pain for long knows one thing is true. Anytime you can feel on top of it versus it on top of you it’s a very good day. Five days ago God led me to go on a 40 day fast from social media. So, everything I’m writing is only seen by those who have subscribed to my blog.

Honestly, I’ve been absolutely miserable all week. Praise God this is not my worse pain ever. But, it is definitely life interrupting pain. My left side hip pain definitely has me very concerned and pretty down if I’m honest.

As I lay here on ice I’ve already had to put my faith walking shoes back on. Now, it’s only been 2 months since my last steroid injection, Bur, it seems another shot is necessary very soon. That shot definitely gives me hope for consistent relief if all goes like it has in the past.

In the meantime, God is leading me to go and stay in my prayer closet. Sadly, it often takes some kind of pain for God to get our greater attention. So, I know my hope is not just in a shot but will be highly impacted by prayer. Please pray for my pain to decrease and know I’m praying for you too.

(Matthew 6:6)(NLT) Jesus said, But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
