Hello
@only a sojourner,
I have been praying for your wife and her pain. I fell in 2012 and spent three years in so much pain that I could not sleep more than 1 to 2 hours a night. I had joint pain, bone pain, and nerve pain, all are very different and all are treated very differently. It go so bad that I was on the verge of suicide. My wife convinced me to go to the ED and it saved my life. I pray that your wife never gets that bad.
A couple of scriptures that I chant over and over when I am going through a pain crisis really seem to help me a great deal.
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Surely You will save me from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
You will cover me with Your feathers, and under Your wings I will find refuge;
Your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.
I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me
I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
If I make the Most High my dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
then no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent.
For He will command His angels concerning His to guard me in all my ways;
they will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone.
I will tread upon the lion and the cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91
Praying for your and your wife,
Kevin
