In today's episode, we're talking about pain – the physical suffering and discomfort we experience in life. When we feel pain, we often want to run away, especially if it comes from an abusive relationship. In such cases, it's important to seek help and get out.
Sometimes, pain can make us withdraw from God, our loved ones, and even positive experiences. It causes us to protect ourselves. We may wish to avoid pain altogether, but it's a part of life. Instead of praying for it to go away, we can pray for strength to endure it and take steps towards healing.
Even in our pain and hurt, God is at work. We may have experienced pain without feeling His presence, but we want to grow stronger in faith and have Him with us through tough times.
Sometimes, pain results from our own choices, like Jonah in the Bible. It can be a wake-up call for positive changes in our lives.
Pain can also be a good thing. It prompts us to take action and make necessary changes. Being grateful for the lessons we learn through pain can lead to personal growth and stronger relationships.
Ultimately, pain can lead to heart changes, better health, career improvements, a more positive mindset, and stronger family bonds. Embracing pain as a path to growth helps us navigate life's challenges with thankfulness.
God promises in Exodus 3:17, Friends if you will quit running, I will help you and bring you to a land flowing with milk and honey.
