Lord, Get Your Needle-I'm Falling Apart at the Seams: The Emotional Strain of Chronic Pain - Paperback

by Barbara E. Haley (Author)

Chronic pain touches every part of our lives. All day. Every day. We wonder why God doesn't heal us when we ask. How we can maintain faith in Him when we pray repeatedly and nothing happens. Lord, Get Your Needle-I'm Falling Apart at the Seams offers understanding and hope while tackling the tough issues of pain, depression, and loneliness. With tender honesty, the book addresses the search for balance between faith and the natural feelings of anger, despair, and condemnation which often accompany chronic pain. God cares. He loves us so much and wants us to bring our doubts and struggles to Him moment by moment. These devotions deal with questions and answers. Progress and setbacks. Life and death. I pray that you will feel the warmth of God's arms around you as you work through this book. That God will complete your healing in every way-physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally-and that as He does, you will realize how very much He loves you and wants you to come to Him. At the end of each devotional you will find suggestions for personal journal writing. This is a time to allow God to search your heart as you meditate on His promises and write about your feelings and needs. A time to be still and allow God to speak comfort, encouragement, and wisdom to you. He longs to fellowship with you, strengthen your soul, and fill you with genuine hope for your future.
