Chronic illness is a reoccurring illness that persists over a period of a year and requires ongoing medical attention. More than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience chronic pain, and is significantly more prevalent in women than men. It may or not be obvious, and this statement may be true for you: "I may not look sick, but turn my body inside out and it would tell a different story." Tune in this week as Tracy Hurst, licensed professional counselor, shares how to embrace the uncertainty of chronic illness while holding tightly to the certainty of God!

BE IN THE WORD:
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)

"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)

“The Lord is near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

“Heal me, Lord and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.” (Jeremiah 17:14)

"He will never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18)

“A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.” (Matthew 8:2-3)

"One thing I am sure of -- my victory awaits me in heaven." (Revelation 21:4)

BE EDUCATED:

1. “Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.” (Dwight L. Moody)
2. Hope Heals: A True Story of Overwhelming Loss and an Overcoming Love by Katherine & Jay Wolf.
3. Suffer Strong: How to Survive Anything by Redefining Everything by Katherine & Jay Wolf. 

BE DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS:

1. Where can you move in faith toward your healing? What is your "apple pie?"
2. Honestly assess how many "spoons" you have for the day, and use them intentionally. 
3. Remember God is not only able to heal, He is willing.
