How many of you suffer pains in life and find it hard to pray or read scripture because of that?
For me, i suffer with anxiety, depression, bulging discs and burning pain on upper rear legs which means i cant really sit much. I have to lie down when home from work.
Pain fills my mind lots of the time during the day because of my bad lower back and the burning i get too. Plus having anxiety moments is not nice. I cringe when i see people sitting as that hurts and i get envious of them.
I do have a set routine of prayers i say. But, working through the pain and trying to concentrate can be difficult as 'pain' is always at the forefront of my thoughts. I dont read scripture much either. I just cant seem to 'get into it'.
I would love to sit at a desk and read the Bible or a spiritual book but, its very uncomfortable for me.
How do you cope?
