Name it... Claim it

Yesterday was a really bad day for me. The firey darts of the enemy that were aimed at me all hit like arrows to a bulls eye. As you know, I suffer from bouts of unexplainable pain in my abdomen. I've had a cat scan, multiple blood tests, and have been poked and prooded and the 'doctors' can't find a thing wrong with me, but the pain is so unbearable. I've been to the ER twice for this pain, and I can not afford to do that ever again. All I have to take the pain away is Tylenol and prayer. So, yesterday, I was taking a lot of both. As I lay asking God to touch me and take away my pain, I saw all these snap shots of my life... little bits and pieces of things that made my life so rich. And as I remembered all that God brought me through, I just praised Him. And although the pain continued, He walked with me through the fire/the pain. I am so blessed, I really do have so many riches... not of man, but those given by God. I don't know what today will bring, but I do know how it will end... victory in Jesus!!! And by His stripes am I healed. I'll name it, I'll claim it. Yesterday, today, and forever!!!
