We all go through Pain of some sort throughout our life. May it be physical or emotional either way the pain is real. It can be unbearable to live with that aching pain day in and day out. It may consume every thought and action in your mind. The question is how are you going to overcome it?
From one that lives that life each day. Their are times you just want to die from it. However, what I have learned from it. Is my life is worth more then the pain. There is a purpose that God has brought me to it and that He will bring me out of it. When I feel like I can't move from that pain. I just ask "Jesus" to let me die onto Him for help from it. I'll keep going for I know His mercy is more powerful then any drug or medicine that I can take to make it go away.
When I am tired and all cried out. I find myself clinging to these bible verses that seem to restore me.
Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

All three verses speak volumes to my spirit when I am in dire need of His love and mercy. It's okay to want to live in the pain just to survive. But to fight for your spirit and life is more worth the pain. Whatever it takes, hold on to the promise that God has made to us.
