A Daily Devotional

About living with pain:

Psalm 38:17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. 19 Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous. 20 Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good. 21 O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. 22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. (NIV)

When you are in real pain you cannot move, you cannot think. When you are in real pain, you cannot do what you normally do. When your pain gets intense, you may be totally distracted, you may be unable to pray, and you may be unable to focus. When you are in intense pain, Christ may seem not to exist. Even when Christ seems not to exist, remember He is where you are, no matter how far away He seems to be at the time. Pain is a weapon your great adversary uses against you. Pain creates the illusion Christ is far away and not present within you. However, the illusion Christ is far away is only an illusion. Christ being within you and beside you is the reality of every moment of your life, even the painful moments. Even in your moments of intense pain, you can walk with Him and talk with Him. Only Christ can truly understand what you are going through at any moment. In your pain, even when you erroneously think He has deserted you, do not desert Him.
