How is God using my physical pain for good?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "The Bible says that “God works all things together for the good of those who love him,” (Rom 8:28). How is God using my physical pain for good? What good can come from terrible pain that probably will have no end?"

[@brianhood8827]

I’m so sorry I live in chronic pain daily as well, takes a toll on your heart mind & soul

[@EC-yd9yv]

Hi..i hope you are doing better🙏.I have been walking the same severe pain journey for 25+ years, home bound 12 now. It's a day by day, often minute by minute survival. We are Never alone the Lord is with us!! Want you to know I hear you, with you in thought,care and prayers♥🙏 🌸

[@EC-yd9yv]

I hear You, you are not alone. With you in thought,care and prayers♥🙏🌸

[@user-GodsGirl4ever]

I've had my share of both physical and psychological pain, but as I drew closer to my Lord, He opened my heart to the truth: No matter how much I suffer, others suffer far more than I do. I pray for them, and I try to comfort them. Most of all, I know that no one will ever suffer as did Jesus. But, in my suffering and accepting it as my cross, I become just a tad bit like my beloved Jesus. God never gives me more than I can bear, so He must know me as far stronger than I know myself to be--and I trust and believe Him. I pray for all who do suffer to find comfort and peace in Him, too. xoxo

The greater the pain the greater the gain, the smaller I the larger he in I. Altho you slay me ill trust in you. Jesus is King!!!

I"ve been dialyzing for more than 12 years. I am suffering now from the effect of hyperparathyroidsm which is bone pains or rheumatoid arthrities. So painful. And when I heard your preaching it gives me the understanding of the purpose of my suffering. Also, it gives meaning to my suffering.😊 I have more hope now. And, love God more besides I wants to give glory to Him everyday if possible. Thank u so much. God bless u more. 🙏💖

[@erichumber3831]

Thanks buddy I just underwent total right hip joint replacement and I'm going through the early stages of recovery. Daily pain seems to get better but taking a long time. This was very inspiring as my older brother is having total knee replacement a couple weeks and now I know why I'm going through this or have a better idea God bless you and your family

[@jariech87]

Thank you very much for this video. I do suffer with chronic osteoarthritis and I didn’t know about the things you just talked about. To Jesus be the glory!

GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO SUFFERS

Jenny Scranton that would be everyone who are adults and many younger as well. .

[@jonathans.219]

God bless. I have been having arm pains a lot, and many different body pains. I have been scared about bigger health problems even though I worry too much this helped me know that God does have a bigger purpose.

[@jazminegoss7238]

I’ve been having tmj pain for a week non stop. On top of that I’m stressed and depressed. If God doesn’t stop my pain I wish he would at least comfort me. I will keep praying.

[@AskDrBetters_MARKINCMinistries]

I am so sorry to hear that you are dealing with so much pain on a regular basis. I understand how frustrating and exhausting pain can be. While I can't tell you why God won't heal you I can tell you that know what you are going through and you can find comfort in His promises. We do have several free resources available on our website at MARKINC.org that you might find helpful. Keep praying and stay in the Word. You may also want to consider speaking to one of our counselors at HelpandHopeNow.org to help you heal from this hurt and prepare your heart for all that God has in store for you. God Bless!

[@smeatonlighthouse4384]

Have you never met someone, perhaps a little younger, with the same problems. Have you not been able to say 'I know exactly what you are going through, I can help you to get through this'. It is what is called 'experience' where you learn patience and grace from God. God can and will use you for His glory and for the purpose of helping and encouraging other children of God along life's pathway.

[@cynthiao.543]

Is there a way to listen without the music? I’d like to hear your message but the music is too distracting .ty

[@louisengelbrecht485]

i have added a line or two the words I phrased And love helps us to grow through them in faith To be steadfast in hope and to be men of courage Of unwavering in our trust and faith R. Louis Engelbrecht I have read something which appealed to me If you have serious trouble Did around it if that does not help Tunnel through it even beneath it But never say die but if there is really a solution comply By virtue of accepted suffering, you will still grow This I read and it helped me R. Louis Engelbrecht Be of good faith, be confident and resilient in hope God bless Sincerely yours R. Louis Engelbrecht

[@denniscampbell242]

The short version: Accept your suffering, hope it will someday end and bear fruit, don't lose your faith and don't ask why.

[@1PlainOne]

The words you speak are good and lead to truth. The suffering that leads to good is our being conformed to the image of Christ. Oh that I might really look upon Him and how He suffered so that I may be joined with Him in my afflictions...Like Joni said, that I may see Christ there in the midst of my little splash overs of hell. And so I ask What manner of love is this...the only act of love that is worthy of being called Awesome, which in turn describes the task that God has undertaken to utterly shore up Christ’s sacrifice...that it would capture the depths of our buried treasure of naïveté....Selah.

This what I have phrased By pain we grow, by suffering we mature, by we patience we endure My - by hope, we are consummated And love makes all of them viable and endurable R. Louis Engelbrecht

Thank you so much for your ministry to us x

[@seektruth983]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@louisengelbrecht485]

Dear Dr, Betters I am grateful, that the words I phrased appeal to you. I appreciate it. Allow me, if you don't mind, words I have phrased The virtue of longsuffering an endurance By longsuffering, we grow in patience By courage, we prevail By being bold one growths in strength By being prudent one is able to act wisely By proofing oneself in hardships one matures in suffering By determination, one is able to achieve one's goals Against all odds, adversities notwithstanding how tough they might have been And all repelling circumstances by which one was challenged By growing in faith and hope one matures in one's faith By steadfastness one grows in stature By not reaping the fruit to early one ripes in the maturity of faith By not acting rashly one comes to a well-considered opinion By considering when to act and when not you will spare yourself many embarrassing moments and shame Before being cut off, I stop God bless, be of good faith, be confident Watch and pray be alert God bless Sincerely yours R, Louis Engelbrecht
