Linn 2/19/2017 1:57:47 PM | Dear Beth, I can't help but think that I didn't really answer your question regarding how to go through this disease with God especially when no one believes you on my last post. Well, to go through this disease with God while no human believes you... What helps is to get to know God his personality by studying the Bible, learn how he dealt with his people in the past, you will learn that he is loving, just, wise, powerful so much more; what he stands for, and the truth behind our suffering. James 1:13 says, "When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone." And Job 34:10 says, "So listen to me, you men of understanding: It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, For the Almighty to do wrong!" Instead God invites us to go to him for help when under trials and tribulations. 1 Peter 5:7 " while you throw ALL your anxiety on him, because he CARES for you." There are some ways to throw our anxieties on him. You see it's heavy for us to carry, but God his shoulders are wide and big enough and he has strong arms, we can be sure when we throw it to him, he can carry for us and our load becomes lighter. First way to do so is through fervent prayers, Philippians 4:6,7 this is crucial, because we need to guard our heart and our thinking ability (even though we have brain fog) we need this to make good decisions regarding healing from this disease. You see when we are anxious, we completely acting under reactions, and not with soundness of mind. In order to make good decisions we need insight, discernment, and thinking ability. To get these, we have to have peace first. These scriptures says Prayer, petition/ supplication, thanksgiving and God will provide you a peace that will surpass all understanding, will guard your hearts and Mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Many times when new symptoms appears never happened before, depends on what symptom it is, we become troubled or panic. At those moments, I pray to God to give me wisdom to deal with this new manifestation, James 1:5 says, "So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him." You see James under inspiration wrote that we can keep asking God when we lack of wisdom. He will never think we are annoying, that we bother him, humans do that, but God doesn't. He wants us to succeed! He wants us to conquer and win this evil disease. He is a happy God 1 Timothy 1:11, he wants to give us happiness. It hurts his heart when we suffer, like a loving parent hurts when child is hurt and sick. An example of this: one day I started to feel my face drooping, I speak and saliva came out at the left corner of my lips. I knew it's Bell's palsy Lyme manifestation. Right away I said a quick prayer, and after the prayer the thought of using clove oil put along where facial nerve and the trigeminal nerve regions. I applied it from temporalis area along the tmj cheek jaw bone down to corner of my lip on the left side of my face. After two hours the parasites fled from congregated along those areas and my face returned to normal. This type of experience happened throughout these years with this illness. Problem comes up, I pray, led to calmness of heart and to solutions. This comes to a second way of throwing all your anxiety on him: inner peace from reading the Bible along meditate on what you just read. God's Word is helpful and refreshing because it contains our Creator's own words of wisdom. As we reflect on God his thoughts and consider how best to use his practical guidance, we get strengthened, become courageous and strong. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30,"Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves. 30 For my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.” Jesus showed loving consideration for other's spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Jesus promises to continue to support us. You see this yoke that the farmer used was a double yoke for two same animals to go under shares the load. Jesus invites us to go under his yoke. So each day, when we go underneath his double yoke, Jesus carries most of the load. The weight of the yoke on our side is light because Jesus carries the majority of it. He said his yoke is kindly and light. So he promises to help us. The Bible record many of Jesus sayings and teachings about the truth. His audience found comfort and relief from it. If each day we go under this double yoke of Jesus, by reading those accounts, we can be refreshed. Like drinking an iced cold lemonade on a hot day emotionally and spiritually. Now the third way: Luke 11:13 Jesus invites us,"Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!” Galatians 5:22,23," On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law." These beautiful aspects of qualities holy spirit produces in us can help us to have peaceful loving relationships with others which reduces anxiety, and prevents us to get in situations with people can result in anxiety. How to apply this in our time with disease? This disease produces different emotions. We have our good and bad days. But even despite how bad it can be, the joy that God gives is a quiet serene joy deep inside can exist in us despite tears and woes. So we can pray each morning for God to grant us holy spirit so we can put on these qualities throughout the day in our dealings with ourselves and with our family and friends. So this can in turn help with those who don't believe us and our suffering. Our conduct can win people over. 1 Peter 3:1,2, "In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands, so that if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of their wives, 2 because of having been eyewitnesses of your chaste conduct together with deep respect." Though not a wife to these people but the principle applies. We show good conduct and respect, can win without a word with those tell us we are not sick. This requires those qualities of love, patience, self control... So this portion can be used to your question how to face this with God pertain to ppl don't believe us. In time, If we do this we can regain family and friendships strained by this disease. Lastly, God knows how to supply us with people who can support us. Right now maybe you don't have anyone tangible in your life to support you emotionally through this trial, but I guarantee in time some friend out of nowhere will come in your corner and support you through. Then more and more will come next to you. In time you will have all the support and more than you can imagine step in to do that, because God knows what we need. He's sooo detailed and help us so individually. He customizes answers to our prayers and our needs. This is what he has done for me. I had friends didn't believe me it hurt so much. I was sad then God sent a friend I didn't really keep in touch with, approached me asked me if she can help me. I knew she was a gift from God. She now has been my loyal friend for two years. She helped me with taking me to the doctors before morg came out of the skin, and still continually faithfully supporting me by groceries and emotional support, her empathy is very validating and comforting. After her, in time more and more friends believe me and supports me by checking upon me, and in different ways. I feel very rich. (Although materially I'm not rich). I hope this time I was able to answer your question with some practical steps. If i can be of any assistance Let me know. I'm in your corner. Love, Linn |
