One of the issues I struggle with is how God will bring good out of the situation, but rationally, I know He will/can.

1. Everyone has some form of suffering in their lives.

2. All earthly suffering is temporary and will come to an end.

Beautiful, Salvation.
Thank you.

I hope no one minds the ping to a religion thread, but I really like what Salvation posted.

Wow, God bless you! I have degenerative disc disease with some sciatic pain, I can’t imagine what life must be like for you. Actually I can and don’t like to! Is the tumor still there or has it been removed? Or is it even operable? Prayers up for you.

I am in recovery from cancer, am on dialysis, and recently have suffered a pinched nerve and apparently have severe degenerative arthritis. It hurts to do my job but I must keep working to keep my insurance and support my family. I didn’t understand what to do with my suffering. I pray I can do what the article recommends. Praise God for His wisdom.

I am so sorry for your ordeals. I don’t know if I can offer any advice. Chiropractic has given me some relief as well as something called radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the facet joint nerves. If you have an orthopedist or pain management doctor ask about it. Often the facet joints are involved in disc pain as your spine becomes compressed, and that inflammation leads to more arthritis. So the ablation ends the inflammation and slows the arthritic process.

Also check out marksdailyapple.com and the primal/paleo diet. Diet can be a major underlying factor in arthritis and we all know cancer too.

Other than that, I’ll remember you tomorrow outside Planned Parenthood while my friends and I pray during our weekly stint for 40 Days for Life...I knew God was keeping me up this late for a reason...you’ll be in our prayers. <3

Google “Novena to St. Pancratius”. Pray to him, and keep praying until the job is found.

I will tie you to my daily prayers.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try for a new need a spouse. ;) A novena to St. Joseph helped me out in my job search that is a very powerful prayer and I highly recomend it.
