Be "POTS"itive! - with Sarah Reid4 Juli 2023

When Chronic Illness Challenges Your Faith - ep12

Listen in for today’s answer from Instagram follower…@lachambredemay** “Did you have to try a lot of mobility aids until finding the one that fits you?”

It can really be hard when you’re praying for healing and you don’t see anything happen. And it can be even harder when you see healing happening to others around you - but not for yourself. If you’re struggling with why you have a chronic illness and asking for health without seeing any results, this is the episode for you.

I explored the book of Psalms and the life of David to see how God worked during those times - and still can today!

Even though you’re praying for healing, it’s important to know that sometimes it doesn’t happen for a bigger reason…that perhaps it’s not “the time” for it to happen. - Sarah Reid

Helpful takeaways for this episode:

Realize that everyone’s life journey is different, and the timing of healing - including whether or not it happens - is a matter of faith.
Learn how to apply principles found in the Bible to help you frame and understand different ways God works in your life.
Grasp the concept that God is not surprised by our struggles, which means there IS a reason for them!
Be encouraged that asking God “why?” isn’t wrong, but that we can still turn to God and trust throughout the struggle.
Realize that God cares for us and we can turn to Him for comfort..
Uncover the beautiful things that can come out of our pain, discomfort, and struggle.
