About once a week, or on a good streak-once every two weeks I play catch w/ God. Well not catch I guess. More like I throw the ball to him, and then run and take it back. So like a 2 year old's version of catch. I get these terrible headaches and neck pains. Literally for the last week I have gone to bed and woken up in some sort of pain. I have wonderful drugs that ensure I can sleep which is awesome, until I wake up. Some days I vow to do everything I can-eat right, exercise, stay active during the day, ect. And yet I still get the pain at some point during the day.
I feel like/ and often do cry out to God:
(Psalm 4) Answer me when I call to you,
O God who declares me innocent.
Free me from my troubles.
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
But I know I also need to have faith that God can and will take away my pain.
Psalm 27:5:
5 For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
he will hide me in his sanctuary.
He will place me out of reach on a high rock.
So-I'm starting a new game. It is like the last hole on the put put course. I may not score a hole in one, but when I do get it in the hole-give it to God fully-and don't reach my hand in to try and get my ball back. I will get a prize much greater than keeping my golf ball.
Game on! God I give you my pain-I will depend on you to take this pain away from me. You will place me out of reach from this pain.
P.S. This is not to say that I am going to stop physical therapy but I will not depend on it like I will God.
