Keep Enduring by Faith

My back and body have been giving me fits all day. I tried to grab a bite to eat with my wife and son, and I thought we might go see some fireworks together. However, my body quickly changed those plans. I could barely sit at the table to eat.

Now, I’m back home by myself, as I have experienced so many times before. It’s just one of those things that can always be lurking around the corner. Over time, I’ve learned not to fight it on my own. Instead, I let God do the fighting for me.

Before they left, my youngest son prayed for me to get better. He and I both know that God will come through for me. He always does, and He always will. After a soothing Epsom salt bath and a good night’s rest, I know I will feel better tomorrow. I just have to keep enduring the pain while keeping the faith. Honestly, I have total peace as I share what God has put on my heart.

If you find yourself in a painful situation, or if it feels like the devil has rained on your parade, keep giving everything over to God. He can take you where you cannot take yourself. I’m praying for you as we both keep walking forward in faith.
