Prayers for your gall bladder pain. Hope medical procedures are in place. God bless.

Have only been to a doctor once (which was just for a physical) Thanks for the sentiment, but prayer needs to be by a Biblically born again believer, and not to created beings in Heaven. As for medical procedures, in the last almost 40 years, thanks and glory be to God. My mom suffered from gall bladder attacks if she did not watch her diet (not chips or ice cream etc.) and lived to about 93, and the body lasted longer than her normal mind.

Gall bladder attacks, with the pain and bloating, are something I first realized in my 20's while working doing truck delivery of milk in the early 80's, which happened if I went without food too long and then ate something substantial, and or somewhat fatty.

Which is what happened here at age 66 (5'5'' and around 135lbs). But by about 9:30 was out the door for most of the day, and played soccer after 7, and did some bike fixes after that and witnessed to the teens who owned them, thanks be to God who gives mercy, grace and strength. May it work to His glory.

So the attacks have never slowed me down much, nor cost me anything, glory be to God for that also. If not for His grace I would have died and went to Hell a long time ago.

Correction "Have only been to a doctor once (which was just for a physical)....As for medical procedures, in the last almost 40 years..." should be I have only been to a doctor once in the last 20 years (which was just for a physical) and as for actual medical procedures that would be twice in the last almost 40 years (circa 1979 for an infection, and about 1989 for a piece of rust stuck in my eye from an exhaust system).

Which is only by the grace of God, thanks be to Him, but i do not intend to use the government (i have no insurance aside from basic Medicaid being available) or expect God would have me go to a doctor of hospital, though I visibly dislocated my shoulder in a bike accident (recklessness) and threw my knee out in soccer (ouch!) and come down with 2 severe cases of the Flu in recent years (sniffle).

However, I would likely be dead if it were not for surgery, since when i was about 7 i punctured my pancreas by falling off my bike onto the handlebar, and almost died on the operating table due to loss of blood (and maybe to much anesthesia). I during that time i was headed down, not up in a grayish vortex before they revived me, so thanks be to God for His mercy, as it would not be until about age 25 that I actually became born again with its profound basic changes in heart and life, bless the Lord o my soul.

And likewise God has worked to effect growth in grace and bring my back at times to obedient salvific faith, and I trust and pray that the Lord will also perfect that which concerneth me, as He continues to work both to will and to do of His good pleasure, (Phil 2:13) all "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." (Ephesians 1:6)

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. (Psalms 138:7-8) ,
