Often when people are diagnosed with a life-changing medical condition, they feel overwhelmed. They feel choked by darkness and hopelessness. Those are times when answers simply do not suffice. That's because answers don't always reach the problem where it hurts: in the gut and in the heart.

Yes, I pray that my pain might be removed, that it might cease; but more so, I pray for the strength to bear it, the grace to benefit from it, and the devotion to offer it up to God as a sacrifice of praise.

Subdue your heart to match your circumstances.

Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight; they just don't know where to look.

The truths of the Bible are never just abstract concepts; they're always related to real people.

Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much.

The weaker we feel, the harder we lean on God. And the harder we lean the stronger we grow.
