In today’s post, I’m sharing about my own struggle with chronic pain. It’s not something I’ve talked much about, in part because I don’t yet have an official diagnosis, but God has brought to my attention that all of us struggle with some form of physical or emotional pain, whether visible to the outside world or not. Pain makes life difficult. Many of us feel anxious, alone, misunderstood, or discouraged. Pain can cause us to doubt our faith, God’s goodness, or even our own self-worth. Pain can be a burden, but it doesn’t have to keep us paralyzed. We can pivot from allowing pain to lead us down a regrettable path toward depression, anxiety, and defeat to instead inviting it to propel us toward wholeness.
