It demands our attention to fix whatever is wrong. Sadly, not all things can be fixed; some pain needs to be endured. Focusing on the scriptures is a helpful way to refocus the mind. Proverbs 17:22&nbsp; &rdquo;A merry heart doeth good <em>like<\/em> a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When in pain we realize <strong>our own littleness, yet God is close to us when we are in that attitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 57:15&nbsp; &ldquo;For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name <em>is<\/em> Holy; I dwell in the high and holy <em>place,<\/em> with him also <em>that is<\/em> of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Psalms 103:10-17 &ldquo;&hellip;as the heaven is high above the earth, <em>so<\/em> great is his <strong>mercy toward them that fear him<\/strong>. As far as the east is from the west, <em>so<\/em> far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth <em>his<\/em> children, <em>so<\/em> the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For <strong>he knoweth our frame<\/strong>; he remembereth that we <em>are<\/em> dust.&nbsp; <em>As for<\/em> man, his days <em>are<\/em> as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth&hellip; But the <strong>mercy of the LORD <em>is<\/em> from everlasting to everlasting<\/strong> upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children&#039;s children&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When we are comforted by God, we learn to be more compassionate and give comfort to others. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 &ldquo; Blessed <em>be<\/em> God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be <strong>able to comfort them which are in any trouble<\/strong>, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>We need to have hope that someday in God&rsquo;s thousand year kingdom there will be a new heavens and a new earth. (Not a literal but a new society.) By faith we need to grasp these blessings to help lift us above the current difficulties. Here are some promises we look forward to:<\/p>\n<p>Revelation 21:4 &ldquo;And <strong>God shall wipe away all tears<\/strong> from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, <strong>neither shall there be any more pain<\/strong>: for the former things are passed away.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 33:24 &ldquo;the inhabitant shall <strong>not say, I am sick<\/strong>&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 25:8 &ldquo;He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces&rdquo;<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 35:10 &ldquo;And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall <strong>obtain joy and gladness<\/strong>, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physical pain consumes our thoughts and body.
