Chronic pain is never just a physical battle; it’s an emotional and spiritual one, too.Today, I share the specific Bible verse that carried me through months of anxiety and physical suffering.

When we feel perplexed, persecuted, or struck down by illness or pain, it’s easy to let discontentment take over. But as the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, though we are afflicted in every way, we are not crushed.

Watch here!

In this video, we discuss:

• The three battles of chronic illness: Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual.
• How to shift your perspective from “stewing in pain” to “soaking in Scripture.”
• Why our current suffering is a “momentary light affliction” compared to the glory to come.
• Finding the strength to sleep and find peace when the pain presses in.

If you are feeling abandoned or destroyed by your circumstances, remember: the blood of Christ has given you the victory. You are not alone.
