Finding Strength in the Lord When You’re Living with Chronic Illness

As a mom, it can be hard to cope with chronic illness. Life is already full of stress and responsibilities, so when you add chronic pain and fatigue into the mix, it can seem unbearable. But I want to encourage you to take heart—you don’t have to go through this alone! The Lord is your strength and He will sustain you if you cast your cares upon Him. 

The Bible says in Isaiah 12:2 that “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord, the Lord Himself is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.” We have a loving Father who wants us to turn to Him for strength during our toughest times. All we have to do is trust Him and believe that He will provide everything we need. 

Sometimes it might feel like your faith isn’t enough, but don’t give up! Take time each day to read Scripture, pray, or talk with a trusted friend or family member about what you’re going through. If you can find someone else who understands what it feels like to live with chronic illness, reach out and build a support system that can help carry you through this season of life. 

And finally, don’t forget the power of self-care! Take small steps throughout the day to rest your body when needed. Make sure you are getting enough sleep so that your body has time to heal and repair itself. Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean that you aren’t trusting God for healing—it just means that you are taking responsibility for doing what you can do in order for His healing power to work effectively in your life. 

Living with chronic illness isn't easy but it doesn't have to be overwhelming either! Remember that Jesus is always there for us when we need Him most—all we have to do is call on Him for help. Let us cast our cares upon Him because He alone is mighty enough to bear them (1 Peter 5:7). So let's put our faith in the Lord as we journey through this season of life together! Amen? Amen!

Meet Tabitha King

 
For years, I felt helpless inside my own body.

Hi, I am a wife and mother, a minister, a massage therapist, and a holistic health coach. 
I am passionate about working with the body and learning more about how our bodies work, but more importantly, how to be made whole in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Through the years, I had become a workaholic and never felt any peace. I was overwhelmed and stressed with dis-ease and pain.  I had to stop working for a while because of the chronic pain while having a husband and three children at home who needed me. 

I struggled with my health for quite some time, and I went through worse times before they got better. 

How many times have you been to a doctor, and they acted as if they couldn't figure out what's going on with you, so you go seeking doctor after doctor, looking for someone to help you because you know you are dealing with pain and need help figuring out the problem? How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and end up feeling like you failed at all those things? 

And then, it happened. I have found something amazing that is helping me to understand I AM a healthy being, and I CAN recommit to a healthy, wealthy life!

I was introduced to a different way of living that many people are talking a lot about lately. I realized for my chronic situations; I needed to start getting my health under control. I’d considered it before, but I kept cycling back into a downward spiral going through a valley filled with pain. 

Prolonged physical illness not only affects us physically, but it affects everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many tend to suffer a lot at the hands of doctors who make them worse, not better. I have dealt with this and it has put a bitter taste in my mouth towards doctors. The different medications did not lead to helping me get better, but they caused more pain, and side effects from the medicines caused deeper stress to my body. Anger, hurt, and pain kept showing up in my life, and I didn't know how to deal with it. These things controlled my mind, but now I am being made free. I love God, but, for quite some time, while I knew the Word says, "There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus," I was still suffering from condemnation, guilt, blame, and shame.  Now, I have learned to persevere with joy during my pain because in the end, by faith, God will get the victory through my life's journey, and I can walk in my victory daily!

I’m on a mission to help people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself.
