Father letting me suffer; the Church seems to be wrong

[Pat_Albertson]

Thanks. I doubt I’ll read it any time soon (can’t afford it and don’t have time), but it’s on my list, if the opportunity ever arises.

You are welcome.

I have to get back to working on it myself. If I ever get anything borderline miraculous out of it (like having results as good as that woman who had her wisdom tooth extracted without anesthetic and was then able to stop her own bleeding and several hours later restart her own blood flow to the area all via autosuggestion) I’ll let you know.

One other idea: I see you are in Japan. I don’t know about the public library situation there, but in the US you might be able to borrow the book and the CD for free. Just a thought.

I saw this man sitting in a coffee shop, in his wheelchair, with stickers of Jesus loves you and wondered what his story was. I found it, covered by a local newspaper. He was riding his motorcycle, stopped at a light, when he was hit by a car. The accident left him paralyzed.

I don’t know how it is that grace was in this man at this most trying time, but he is doing well and believes in God and is grateful for his life, even in a wheel chair. I find that his story is very challenging and I don’t think I would be able to cope as well as he does, but God is there. Here’s his story…

May everyone carrying great crosses find the peace that only God can give as a testimony that God is indeed alive and loves us and we have something better waiting for us in heaven for eternity. This dark world needs to hear that message today.

OP, while we should never be afraid to ask God for the things we want what we have to keep in mind is that God will give us the things we need. . When my mother was sick, a very wise Methodist minister with whom I became acquainted on FB once told me that we can’t treat praying like handing God a shopping list of the things we want, and expect him to fill it. Sometimes God’s answer is “yes”; sometimes it’s “no”; and sometimes it’s “not yet”. I am so sorry that you are suffering physically; I can’t say that I know what it’s like, because I don’t. I guess what I’m trying to get at is you should keep praying for healing. Don’t ever stop praying for healing. But at the same time, sincerely pray that the Lord will help you to accept His will. There may be more out of this ordeal that He wants you to learn, and you must be open to that (so His answer right now might be “not yet”). It’s not an easy thing to do, and questioning things are you are now, is a normal reaction for most of us.

I hope this makes sense to you.

I just listened to the CD all the way through for the first time. I became aware that I had more itches and postural aches and pains than I believed possible and even had to stand up about 2/3 of the way through the exercise, but I also experienced some pain relief, relaxation and . . . euphoria (that’s the only way I can describe it, although I think that word is a bit overblown) that was borderline miraculous.

Right now, I think this is worth doing, and worth practicing.

I’ll be honest: I had quite a toothache before I started the exercise and I took some meds for dental pain (some of my teeth are in such bad shape that they need to be extracted and I’m going to need dentures), but once I got into the exercise the relief that would normally take a while to kick in kicked in almost immediately. I was deeply impressed with what was happening to me.

I will definitely be doing this again. I’ll keep posting about how this works out.

Oh, as for my toothache right now: if I bite down on it there is a little tiny bit of pain, but if I stop doing that I’ve got no pain at all . . . nothing . . . or at least nothing tooth-wise . . .
