Chronic HOPE

So grateful God IS bigger than my Lyme disease and endometrial pelvic pain! Even though my Lyme is in remission, I’ve been having some difficult days.

From a friend’s post today.

In your weariness, in times when your health fails, on days filled with dread, have faith in God. Talk with Him, and ask Him to be with you, strengthen you, help you in all your weaknesses. He is the source of comfort, reassurance, capability, clarity of mind and purpose.
We face times of doubt, worry, anxiety, and fear, but with our Lord, we do not have to face distress alone. He is always there, providing, lifting our burdens, guiding through the valleys, and encouraging us.
May God bring you peace and calm today as you turn to Him in His word and in prayer. He will listen, answer, enlighten, and be present if you seek, ask, and knock. (Matthew 7:7)

Isaiah 40:28(b) - 31

“The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.”

Although this post is about the effects of Lyme disease, I’m sure it applies to many chronic illnesses.
