In Pain

I don't like pain. Whether it's heartache or heartburn, I don't like it.

When we are experiencing pain, we sometimes want to hide. We want to draw the curtains, turn out the lights, and curl up into the fetal position. We want the world to do away. We may take something to relieve the pain. Maybe we pop a few aspirin. Or maybe we open a bottle of wine. We just want the pain to go away.

God knows our pain. He sent his son to rescue us. The Bible tells us so.

When I am in pain, I will cry out to the Lord. I will remember his word and know that He is with me.
