Thy Sister’s Keeper

Into every life there come the painful, despairing days of adversity and buffeting. There seems to be a full measure of anguish, sorrow, and often heartbreak for everyone, including those who earnestly seek to do right and be faithful.
When the Mind is Willing, but the Body is Not
There are those moments in life when people have aspirations (whether daily or life-changing) which they are more than determined to achieve, but due to certain physical afflictions, it makes it nearly impossible for them to accomplish. For some, those afflictions can last a lifetime, but for others, it is only a matter of time before their afflictions either heal or resolve themselves. Often, it is not the physical affliction that causes the most challenges, but the thoughts in the mind of the afflicted. They can be stricken with thoughts of self pity, or at worst, thoughts of suicide. It is hard to keep a positive outlook because the physical affliction can be overwhelming at times. But, if we put our trust and faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, our suffering will be eased. No matter what the physical adversity, I have found that a determined mind and a willful faith in the healing power of our Lord, Jesus Christ can overcome even the most lasting physical challenge.
