Lend me your ear!
Well here I am again with a raging ear infection. If you’ve had any kind of ear infection you know the pain and disorientation it causes and immediate relief is very much needed! After multiple visits over the last couple of months to
my family doctor… he’s said he can’t do anything else for me… so now on to the ear specialist. I called this morning and the earliest I can get in is Monday! So here I am praying for relief, wanting to feel normal, talking under water and having excruciating pain! But you know what, others have it worse, much worse…my carnal weak human side really wants to feel sorry for myself, it’s a struggle not to whine and complain and go on and on about my ear to everyone who will listen! HA! I have to stop and tell myself others have it much worse…at least I do have insurance to go to the doctor…at least I do have medicine for the pain…at least I do have family and friends who are praying for me. What about those who don’t have any of these things or have lost ear or those who are deaf? No matter what we go through someone else has it worse…somehow this realization makes the pain bearable and makes me realize how many blessings I really do have. Sometime next week I’ll have my appointment, have a diagnosis and things will be much brighter… for someone else they may still be suffering…in fact let’s pray for those suffering now!
Father I pray for the person reading this right now, that whatever symptoms and pain they are having that You would heal them, give them peace and comfort. For those reading that are depressed, lonely, worried, fearful or anxious…Father give them assurance that You are in control, let your Spirit surround them, let Your Word speak to their heart of your unending love, protection and compassion…AMEN!!!
