Going through health problems and seeking social security disability involves more than physical and emotional issues. It is also a spiritual journey. Life is not easy and it takes twists and turns that test us.
I am reading a book that may help some of you. It is called “90 minutes in heaven” by Don Piper. It is about a man who dies in a car accident, goes to Heaven, and then comes back to life. The book touches briefly on his time in Heaven, and the remainder of the book deals with his struggles with his injuries and health after he comes back from Heaven. It has some good reminders about the gift of life and health, and the need to be spiritually prepared when we die. He also talks about letting others help you. The author touches on the depression he went through because of his pain, his lack of progress, and the desire to return to Heaven. Sometimes God uses our pain to touch the lives of others and encourage them.
I recommend this book. It does not sugar coat the pain he goes through and it gives us reason to hope.
