Disability and serious injuries have to rank with death of a loved one, divorce, and job loss in terms of stress and pain. In the middle of it all it is almost impossible to see any hope or future good to come out of this. That is when we need someone to lift us up and walk with us. This could be family and friends or a word from someone. Don’t close up. Let others know what you are going through. Give them the opportunity to help. Another resource I like is The Word for Today, a fine little devotional. You can learn about it at www.bobgass.com . For instance, The Word for Today’s take on adversity is that it seems to benefit us in ways comfort and ease never can. We just have to struggle on through to the other side of adversity.
