Praying to God Makes Your Path Easier

February 27, 2024 / / 0 Comments

I am steadily improving each day with my back injury. As a matter of fact I had an appointment with a PT guy yesterday; We discussed how I was doing and what I was doing and he said, “You are doing great. Go home and keep it up.”

God is Good to me. He has been with me every day guiding my path. I would be lost without Him.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Have you been struggling lately? Did you have some illness, or injury attack you? This is what I have by my computer to help me through each day:

  1. Pray
  2. Pray
  3. Pray
  4. Repeat

Another wall hanger by my computer says:

  1. Each day you are never alone. God is with you 24/7.
  2. Take a big breath and pray.
  3. Know that the storms end.
  4. 99% of what we worry about never happens. Turn the rest over to God.
  5. Read the Bible every day. Lots of love and understanding there.
  6. Help someone today. You make them smile and you do too.
  7. Give your troubles over to God. He has big shoulders.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Stay strong and have God help you through each day.

Life is Livable With God There With You

Below is a post I sent out in January. An update will be below it.

It has been a long haul. I have been in the hospital of six days. During the fourth day I had a near death experience. There was a nurse checking my vitals, and she left me in the middle. What I saw was she was watching the main monitors, especially my blood pressure. She left quickly, and came back with several doctors, and nurses.

It seems that my blood pressure was crashing. It went from a good 122/60 to 80/40. If it continued I would die. They kept watching it, and eventually it started coming back up. I wasn’t told what happening.

After six days in the hospital, I was sent to a rehab facility. I was there for 30 days, and finally came home.

I am slowly progressing. Being able to do this post is an example. I couldn’t have done this before, because I couldn’t be sitting that long in one spot.

I am now able to sit in my recliner as long as I need to now doing many things, even exercises.

__________________________________________________________________________________

I am now able to walk around my home with a walker. There are even times I take a few steps without it. I am progressing fairly fast now. As a matter of fact my wife and I are going for walk outside when it warms up a little. That is huge for me.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had some terrifying accidents or illnesses strike you down like happened to me?

Here is what I have to say about that:

I would not even be able to exist right now if I didn’t have God by my side. He was there during my worst days to comfort me, and help me with the pain.

Never feel you are alone when something happens to you. God is there 24/7.

Life is not a rose garden. We face many trials in our live time. It is how we handle them that defines our character.

I can safely say that I have had many trials in my life so far. I could list them, but understand that if you name every kind of doctor there is, I have seen them.

Orthopedic, Urologist, back, Achilles doctor, dermatologist, Heart doctor, Primary doctor, Pain management doctor, Physical therapy, and several others.

I am not trying to whine. I just want you to see that I love the Lord, and the world no matter what happens to me.

I know I am loved by God. I know that He will take care of me.

God’s power and presence either makes you draw close, or pull you away.

I did some ranting in my last post. Sounds like I thought the world was coming to a horrible end.

I will be more optimistic today.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

I am on vacation this week with my family. We are at Sun River, Oregon. A beautiful setting, and lots of fun for everyone.

As I look out the window I see deer grazing. Chipmunks climbing, and people riding their bikes. Perfect weather.

When I see all of this I am thankful for the years I served my country in the military. There isn’t too many countries that have the freedoms that we have. Thank a veteran for that.

Have you had days where you would rather stay in bed all day rather than face the world? I have been there. I won’t go into the reasons I sometimes feel that way, but we need to get past those days.

My way of handling it is pray! I pray to go to help me through the day. I ask him to soften some pain I may be going through. He knows our hurts and disappointments. He loves us, and will answer our prayers.

You are never alone.

Well, I got COVID-19 AGAIN! This time it wasn’t as bad. I was OK in about three days. I got it from my wife who had been working with several ladies for their nonprofit.

I am glad I got all the shots and boosters, Hard telling what would have happened if I didn’t.

________________________________________________________________________________

I am amazed how many civilian people think the military gets too much funding. What if it was drastically cut? There wouldn’t be money for new weapons. The military wouldn’t get good pay.

I think is would very wrong, and probably have us lose a war.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Summer is really here. Up in the high 80’s all this week. In the nineties next week. Now we will hear people complain that it is too hot. This is after they complained about the rain and cold.

________________________________________________________________________________

Be strong, and of good faith. God is always there for us. He will see us through the cold and the heat 24/7. Never give in to the darkside.

Many Things Cause Pain. We need to Reach out.

It seems that many of us suffer much from, an affliction, lost loved ones, or broken relationships.

All of these cause much pain in our lives.

______________________________________________

How we handle these are what define our character. We can say “poor me,” Or be an encouragement for others. I always say, it is better to have a smile than have a frown. It is much harder work to frown.

______________________________________________

Use that principle in your life. Don’t be a whiner, but be a friend that helps others.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Let me get my whining over first.

I’m in great pain My right hip is getting worse by the day. the pain level is 8-10. meds are doing little. One pain killer is helping a little, but not enough.

I have an appointment with a pain management clinic, but that isn’t until end of June.

I am trying to schedule surgery. It is in motion, but it is three months away.

____________________________________________________________________________________

What have your days been like? Frustrating, disappointments, physical pain, not enough money? Many of you have been there I’m sure. What can we do to fight back all this garbage?

It is difficult, at best, to survive in this not so friendly world.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Here is what I have been doing to fight back:

  1. Pray without ceasing. Prayer is powerful
  2. Face the day with courage and persistence.
  3. Never give up.
  4. My formula?

______________________________________________________________________________________

Never forget where abundant love is available for you. That would be our God. He knows your hurts. He knows your pain. He wants the best for you. Pray like He is right next to. Cry out to Him. He will hear your prayer and soothe your pain, hurts, and will give you love.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

This old guy is really suffering with pain right now. That is why my posting is not consistent. I have arthritis in my right hip area, and the pain is increasing everyday.

I can hardly walk, and the pain is really bad when I try.

Going to see my doctor tomorrow morning to see what we can do.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had struggles with you health lately? Have your days been filled with pain? I certainly can relate to that!

What can we do to overcome the pain and agony?

This is not an easy question to answer. Of course going to a doctor would be an obvious choice, But what if they say it will take several weeks to do the procedure?

The pain will be knocking at your door and won’t leave.

____________________________________________________________________________________

My only advice to turn all your pain over to God. He knows what you are going through He Knows your pain. “Talk” to Him asking Him to relieve your pain. Lean on Him for comfort and peace.

Above all…never, ever, give up!

The Stressful World We Live in, Can Overwhelm You

It is one of those days. I am being overwhelmed with aches and pains. My right hip hurts. My right foot hurts. My back is really bad. Struggling to keep my balance. Other than that I am doing fine.

______________________________________________________________________________________

It has been very hectic and stressful around our home the last two weeks. We had to move everything out of the kitchen, and the den. Then they put in new flooring in the kitchen area, and a new carpet in the den. Looks beautiful. BUT! Then we had to put all the furniture back! Still doing that, but it is all coming back together.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had disruptions come into your life? Were they hectic, and stressful? It seems to happen in all of our lives. What can we do to face all of this?

  1. All things will change.
  2. Each day is a new day.
  3. Face your storms head on.
  4. God for long walks to relieve all stress.
  5. Try to block out all negative thoughts in your head.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Of course the most important thing to remember is that God is with you 24/7. He there when the stress hits. He is there when the darkness comes. He is there when you most need Him.

Always depend on God. He loves you and wants the best for you. Know He has many promises for you. Pray for His protection and love.
