Carla, I believe you have been spending some time with our Father... thank you. I know this scripture well but had not considered it in this situation. You hit the nail on the head, Praise the Lord!

<p>Hi Brent,</p>
<p></p>
<p>That's great. </p>
<p>I've been thinking about this, and 2 Corinthians 12 comes to mind.</p>
<p>Even Paul dealt with his 'thorn in the flesh'</p>
<h3><span class="text 2Cor-12-7" id="en-NASB-29030">A Thorn in the Flesh</span></h3>
<p><span class="text 2Cor-12-7"><sup class="versenum"><font size="2">7 "</font></sup>Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to <sup class="footnote"><font size="2">[</font><a title="See footnote b" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12&version=NASB#fen-NASB-29030b">b</a><font size="2">]</font></sup>torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!</span> <span class="text 2Cor-12-8" id="en-NASB-29031"><sup class="versenum"><font size="2">8 </font></sup>Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.</span> <span class="text 2Cor-12-9" id="en-NASB-29032"><sup class="versenum"><font size="2">9 </font></sup>And He has said to me, <span class="woj">“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”</span> Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast <sup class="footnote"><font size="2">[</font><a title="See footnote c" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12&version=NASB#fen-NASB-29032c">c</a><font size="2">]</font></sup>about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.</span> <span class="text 2Cor-12-10" id="en-NASB-29033"><sup class="versenum"><font size="2">10 </font></sup>Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with <sup class="footnote"><font size="2">[</font><a title="See footnote d" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12&version=NASB#fen-NASB-29033d">d</a><font size="2">]</font></sup>insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="text 2Cor-12-10">Paul pleaded with God to be delivered from it. God responded "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness". It seems that God is in these moments of weakness, HE positions us to experience His best. His power works in us and our behalf. We also know Romans 8:28 to be true. The less sufficiency we bring to the task, the more room there is for Him to work. Weakness of all kinds brings us to a place of being able to experience God Himself.</span></p>

<p><span class="text 2Cor-12-10">All of us have a 'thorn in the flesh' to some degree. </span></p>
<p><span class="text 2Cor-12-10">God meets us where we are. In the meantime, we pray for healing.</span></p>

<p>Dear Brent, I have suffered with chronic pain for 8 years. Many back problems , back surgeries, diabetes, stenosis and high and low blood pressure causing extreme dizziness.

<p>Dear Brent, I have suffered with chronic pain for 8 years. Many back problems , back surgeries, diabetes, stenosis and high and low blood pressure causing extreme dizziness. I have been on several medications opiates, and I am part of a Pain Management Program that has helped me over the years with injections (steroid) nerve blocks and a back implant to help with all of that.</p>
<p>I have found that exercise in a pool is very helpful. Floating takes all the pressure off of the joints and muscles. A good program in a warmer water is soothing and can improve movement. My wife and I enjoy the pool when we do go.</p>
<p>I can't be a part of a program that uses medical marijuana because the Pain program I'm part of doesn't see it as a "effective" way to treat pain. Plus, I suspect that because they are licensed federally to prescribe drugs such as opiates they might lose their license. I have to be drug tested every month. I can have no other drugs other than the ones they are giving me in my system. They are very strict.</p>
<p>I am flooded with the thoughts of my own trek here. But, God has greater in mind for us. I've been a part of this web site for ten years. I came here looking for answers long before all of my "pain" problems began. God has given me the answers I needed on this journey. Closeness to our Father God is the source of the greatest peace we will ever know. Jesus gave his life for us on a cross. Scripture, meditative prayer, devotionals, soothing music, and loving touch are very helpful.</p>
<p>I have learned that as long as God has filled my lungs in the morning he is not done with me. I serve him. I love being in his presence. My time in the early morning and throughout the day is my source of comfort.</p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 41:13 NIV</strong> <strong> For I am the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> your God<span class="indent-1"><span class="indent-1-breaks"> </span><span class="text Isa-41-13">who takes hold of your right hand</span></span> <span class="text Isa-41-13">and says to you, Do not fear; I</span> <span class="indent-1"><span class="text Isa-41-13">will help you.</span></span></strong></p>

<p>:-) A tall order for us, but not for God. So-- What I'm hearing is that we're praying for a miracle. That's good because our God is a God of miracles. </p>

<p>If I can offer you any comfort, we can view medicine as a blessing from God. To live in the kind of pain that your friend is enduring is inhumane. Medicine has its' place, and sometimes is unavoidable. We reject condemnation or guilt. </p>
