Flip Side-Trying to Regain Your Strength

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! for His mercy endures forever. Psalm 118:29 NKJV

I had been supervising my dad's care over the past four years. Now that I had my heel broken, it flipped everything upside down. Now, I was the one who was the caregivee. It was important to be prayerful about how Christ best wanted me to proceed in this capacity.

 There were times when I had to practice particular exercises in the process of getting stronger, some at home and some at physical therapy. Sure, sometimes it hurt, but I had prayed for God to provide the right physical therapy team for me. I knew they wouldn't lead me wrong, so I tried to be open to doing the exercises they said. 

 The other part of this is being patient. It's easy to get frustrated because the healing process doesn't take place fast enough. Christ let me know early on that He would be with me through the healing process. When I would feel that things weren't moving fast enough, I would remember this and try to put the timing of my healing in Christ's very capable hands.

Since these are examples of how I've applied these Bible verses to my experience, they may not reflect the whole meaning of the verse.
