You raise me up.....

 You raise me up......

Many of us have pain of one sort or another ....mental, physical, emotional....it dogs our steps, our lives on a moment by moment basis...it may be all consuming or a small part of our being...we can be consumed by it and live in it ....or we move forward, working with it, working through it...we sometimes have a choice and other times we don't...for some, medical help is needed and is effective, and others, nothing seems to work....we try and try to lessen it with various means, but it may be our "thorn in the flesh" as the Apostle Paul calls it...and we live through God's grace and His strength....His power....

I don't like pain...I don't like living in it or with it...but since Adam and Eve were thrown out of the garden, it exists...it is part of the way of life.....It wracks our minds, bodies, our families....but we have a healer, comforter....His presence goes before, with and through the pain...

Thank YOU....for Your presence, Your healing powers, Your sufficiency ....through life's pain....

"Jesus Calling
August 20

I am a God who heals. I heal broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. My very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to Me without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. You receive the healing that flows naturally from My Presence, whether you seek it or not. But there is more—much more—available to those who ask.

The first step in receiving healing is to live ever so close to Me. The benefits of this practice are too numerous to list. As you grow more and more intimate with Me, I reveal My will to you more directly. When the time is right, I prompt you to ask for healing of some brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneous, or it may be a process. That is up to Me. Your part is to trust Me fully and to thank Me for the restoration that has begun.

I rarely heal all the brokenness in a person’s life. Even My servant Paul was told, “My grace is sufficient for you,” when he sought healing for the thorn in his flesh. Nonetheless, much healing is available to those whose lives are intimately interwoven with Mine. Ask, and you will receive.

Ye have not, because ye ask not.
—James 4:2 kjv

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
—2 Corinthians 12:7–9

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.”
—Matthew 7:7"
