Heal Me O Lord

6/16/2014

This scripture graphic is a verse from Jeremiah...

Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

There are many scripture songs with this verse, and I try to remember to quietly sing this verse in times of great physical pain. As I recite the words and breathe deep and slow, it can bring me some comfort. I am not sure why we must sometimes suffer in agonizing physical pain... and I must admit it tries my faith and I don't always trust in the Lord as I should when the pain gets me down so much I feel I can't stand it another minute. But somehow I make it through and I know that one day I will understand more about "the why?" of it, but for now, I must try to remain faithful and trusting in God's plan even if I don't really like the plan so much at the moment.
