A "psalms" by Ben in my lament which led to praise!
V.1 "O
God, O God! As I'm going through this discomforting pain in my head & my
jaw right now, I'm wondering why you allowed it?
V.2 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.3 After
rejoicing that you healed my throat, nose and headache last week. Thought I was
better, came back from a holiday and had another round of illness!
V.4 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.5 The
irritating feverish feeling at night and the constant pain in my right jaw
just gets more discomforting as the hour passed!
V.6 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.7 Right
now my head is feeling like a big angry man gripping my brain tightly and using
a hammer to pound it at the same time!
V.8 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.9 My
right jaw is strangely dis-comfortingly strained as though I've been
punched followed by a wisdom tooth surgery without anesthesia!
V.10 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.11 I
took down pills of medicines, hoping the painkillers will work & drank down
litres of water! But somehow the pain & discomfort failed to subside. And
all it resulted in is me going to the toilet every 15 mins.
V.12 No
matter what, I know you are still an ever merciful God whose love endures
forever!
V.13 As I
pondered about this I lament the pain and discomfort many of the psalmist
faced! I figured that you allowed me to go through this same lament so I can empathize with
them.
V.14 Right
now I can testify first hand that no matter what the circumstance and
discomfort I'm going through, You, our Sovereign Lord creator of heaven and
earth, still deserved all absolute praised!
V.15 No
matter what, I choose on my will to still Praise You & Thank You for this
discomfort I'm going through!
V.16 The
amount of pain & discomfort I'm going through right now may compel me to
exaggerate that I'm experiencing a level 10 pain but I know it's NOTHING
compared to the unbearable pain you had to go through holding the sins of the
world on that cross at Calvary.
V.17 As I
turned to you, the author and perfecter of our Faith. Your presence came
so
tangibly!
V.18 An
hour has passed and I decided to just pray in Faith touching my head and my
jaw. That you will heal the pain in my head & my right jaw right now in the
name of Jesus!
V.19 And
in amazement, slowly but surely. The pounding in my head is almost totally
gone! My right jaw is slightly less discomforting now! And I know
God’s healing hands has actually touched me!
V.20 This
small miracle has just brought me to praise you and thank you all over again
for your faithfulness!
V.21 And
because of that it just adds on to your already surpassing greatness, love,
mercy and graciousness for us all and it supersedes any other conceivable being
to be even close to that.
V.22 No
matter what, in discomfort, sickness or happiness, just being in your presence
gives me this everlasting Joy and this deep sense of peace and contentment in
my heart! And I know that I know that I know that you are still an ever
merciful God whose love endures forever!"
God be Praised!"
