Pain,It seems we face this old enemy way to often! It is a horrible adversary and doesn't give much peace one it grabs hold! But we can beat it with faith! We can choose through faith not to let it steal our joy, happiness and peace........

Pain is a Joker

It plays the game so well

We Sometimes suffer needlessly

taking on more than we can bare
Often placing the blame
on someone else over there
Pain clouds our thoughts
be it of body, spirit or soul
The story is always the same
variations here and there
but still the story proves the same,
its still ages old

Pain is a joker

It plays the game so well
stealing from your soul
all your joy and happiness
Destroying all within
leaving no room for smiles
Frowns and tears
leave their marks
on a down cast face

It seems so easy to forget
There is someone waiting there
to give us healing and blessed rest
But pain is a joker
stealing joy if allowed
So lift up your head
Christ is all around you

take back your joy

your smiles

your life

you can

WIN

pains evil game

Christs' pain freed us from the slavery of sin. If we offer our pain up to God so that it may benefit some unknown soul or someone you know it will have a beneficial effect on both you and the receiver. You are a brave and courageous person willing to share your love for us all. Thank you.

I have so much admiration for you in this, Tina, and have been so sorry to learn of the unremitting nature of your situation. In such instances, I do pray that you feel the warmth of healing flooding through like a mystical analgesia, bathing your heart, mind, soul and body in the peace that passes all understanding. I know from first hand experience that this is possible. But, even when the pain is indeed felt, I pray to that you might be given grace to endure, knowing that there will be an end to it at some time. It's debillitating effects cause us to have to slow and be still, and, at such times, we can therefore become either more acutely aware of these effects or be rested. I pray that you will find rest even in the most acutely painful phases and that your security of faith will carry and sustain you when you feel at your weakest point. You speak much truth and certainty here. I hope these your words are as cathartic for you as they are for me. Bless you, with love and prayers, Kate xx
