Comforting scriptures for when life hurts.

Magnum, yes its a sure thing that its a no pain no gain kind of situation, but not to push ourselves in a bad way. Those old school beliefs are no good. Today, we take good care of ourselves and let bad pain be our guide that something is wrong and not to push past that without medical advice first.

Then, when we get the go ahead, we push!

Its best to take it in little steps at a time, but to keep doing those little steps every day if possible, not allowing ourselves to fall behind on the progress we've made, yet not overdoing it either.

Even so, Rocky Balboa is my secret hero.

Who is yours?

I have two - both small children in my family. I have a 6 year- old grand-nephew named Michael who has been fighting leukemia most of his life. I have a 4 year-old cousin named Mia who has been fighting brain cancer most of her life. I think about them often when things get a little bit hard for me. I give thanks that God walks with us every step of the way in this short life.

aw that is beautiful magnum...the young seems to take things like cancer so much better than we do, and have such great positive attitudes we can all learn from.

Luke 18:16

Love this verse dave, thank you for it

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

I hope this, is not 'out of place' here, in this thread

Children (in their innocence) have not learned of the world and all of it's twists and turns
Their treasures are of the simplest and most innocent kinds

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2 Timothy 3:14-15 ESV)

Children know nothing of sin and so do not engage in it

How 'little' we must NOT DO, in order to be as they are¬

Children Are Examples Of Humble Faith In Jesus

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
(Matthew 18:2-6 ESV)

I LOVE those verses that God used to pull me out of Mormonism!

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Psalm 18:30 KJV

As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;

6 In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;

Psalms 27:4-5 ESV One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. 5. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
