This morning's Scripture

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

I suffer from migraines, their like no pain I've ever felt in my life. People often think I'm joking when I comment "I'd rather be in labor". Sadly, I'm not joking, labor would be pleasant compared to the pain of migraines!

The medicine for the migraines knocks me out and makes me useless for 4-6 hours. If I don't take the med's then I'm useless for days, sometimes weeks!
When your in labor or break a bone you can scream out in pain, and most of the time it helps a little to do so!
When your in a migraine, you cannot scream as it'll intensify an already unbearable pain. You must keep silent!
I've found over the years that while I'm keeping silent, I can be praying in my spirit and while my body is still in much pain, I am finding some peace and rest in my spirit through Jesus Christ.
My migraines come from an injury to my neck and spine, I see a chiropractor regularly to keep me in line. Lately my muscles have refused to relax enough to keep my spine in it's place and are reeking havoc on me!
I see the doc this morning to get on a pain management program and get some control over my body.
I "loath" going to the doctor, but durring my last migraine, the Lord put it heavy on my heart that I need to go to the doctor, get control over this old body so that I can continue to come to Y'all each mornin, Continue to take care of my business in my life and do it uninterrupted!
So, this mornin, I'm headed to the doc, with pleasure!
My point, Physical pain can be debilitating, rest in the Lord through it, find Him in spirit and let Him get your through it, guide you through it.
Many times when I'm isolated in the silent and dark because of a migraine, when I find Jesus and meditate spiritually with Him, my body is still in much pain, but my spirit is calm and restful and that may not take away the pain, but it helps me to "rest" through it and not allow "it" to control "me".

Today-Let the Lord guide you, in EVERY aspect of your life. Whether it's physical, mental, emotional...Let Him have it, let Him guide you through it. There is no other we can trust whole, no matter what, why, how..He'll bring us through!
Have an uplifting day in Christ my friends!
