The results from my nerve test for both legs and feet are in. I am not happy with what they told me, but there is nothing I can do. It is damage to my peroneal nerves in both legs, labeled Sensorimotor Peripheral Neuropathy. There is nothing that can be done about it. It is what it is. They say I am very lucky, and they don’t understand why I don’t feel the pain and tingling in my legs that should come along with this damage. So of course I started to think about the future, and as I get older what is going to happen to me. When will the pain and tingling come? The thoughts I was having were starting to bring me down. So I prayed to my Faithful God 2 Corinthians 10: 5, “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
O.K, so I have nerve damage. I can still exercise, walk with and without my braces, and enjoy every day for all the things I can do. Or I can drive myself crazy, and become a nervous wreck with thoughts of tomorrow and what is going to happen to me. God’s word tells me: Matthew 6: 34 “do not worry about tomorrow”… Psalm 55: 22 “cast my burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you.” Mark 9: 23, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” I love this one: John 14: 21 “I too will love him and show myself to him.” God’s word is so UPLIFTING!! I can certainly testify to the truth of His word.
I know that faith requires many areas of learning and training. Many prayers are being prayed, including my own personal request to God, but the answer right now is still not what I wanted to hear. So what do I do? I will be thankful for each day, and keep believing His word, and never be swayed from what I see, hear, or feel, even if the healing doesn’t come.
I will not deny, it is hard to wait on God in faith, but it is this discipline of faith that brings me even closer to Jesus than I was before.
How do we keep our peace?
Taken from a devotional: The way to peace and victory is to accept every circumstance and every trial as being straight from the hand of our loving Father. To live “with Him in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 2:6) above the clouds, in the very presence of His throne. To look down from glory on our circumstance as being lovingly and divinely appointed.
So it’s all o.k. He gives me strength to trust what He says. God is so good, and His love is great! He is always with me.
