Galilea,
That was a beautiful prayer! I have a question: why do you think God is letting (allowing me) to be sick for so long? It’s been 21 years of nothing but illness after illness - and I’m not talking like a cold, flu, etc. These are debilitating illnesses. I would like to share some happy timees with my family. Why isn’t God letting me do this? I wonder …
I am also praying for you. God bless you!
I have read through this thread, mom, and I’m so sorry for your illness, and pain. I read an article in a Catholic pub back in PA, a few years ago, about a female saint who was sick, like for most of her life. She was able to ‘build’ a school for girls from her bed! Of course, she gave orders to others to be her legs and hands during this difficult time, but I found it remarkable that she did so much being so sick. So, the moral of her story could be that our even though we suffer greatly in this world, we can still be a great testament to God’s power and might, moving out of the way, and letting Him take over our physical selves. We are but a vessel which He works through. And despite disease, our souls can still be used for the glory of God. All things work together for good, for those who believe and honor our Lord.
I am not good with names, even great saint names. But, if you do some research (or I will and post back) she probably could serve as a great encourager right now for you. I will keep you in my prayers. You are very inspiring, as well as others who are going through such struggles, yet find the time to post, pray here, and serve as encouragement to others.
Please know you are thought of today, and you’ll be in my prayers, daily.
