Sleepless Nights

Have you ever had nights where pain wakes you up and you can't go back to sleep? I have had too many of those. Right now, my head is good, and I'm thankful for that. The pain keeping me up now is abdominal. How long with this last? I think I made it worse by trying to move around too much the past few days. I am seeing where I need to work on my patience. Exhaustion makes pain worse, pain makes exhaustion worse... it's a vicious cycle. I need to rest so I can heal, but the pain is keeping me from resting.

"Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. — Isaiah 41:10

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones — Proverbs 17:22
