James 1:12 ESV says, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”
Hang onto those scriptures as you go through your trials. I am saying a prayer for you all to remain strong, Child of God.

Even thru painful arthritis & praying i wont need surgery, blessings to you all for praying

Revelation 21:3-4 says, “"Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.".

Psalm 68:19
19- Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.

Blessed be my Lord and Savior who holds my hand in all my troubles, tribulations, and pain, bless Him Oh my soul!!!!

Amen!

coG,
Someone wrote: You are going to have to be disciplined with the recommendations listed here[website] if you really want to be "arthritis free" and pain free for good.

The truth is, if you simply think that all you need to do is pop a few fish oil capsules and rub a bit of arthritis cream on your joints every day to treat and cure your arthritis then you are gravely mistaken. The only way to get real and permanent results is by taking a holistic approach – which means following a complete program of correct diet and supplement intake, the use of proven external arthritis creams, and combining them with some light, moderate exercise.

But don’t be discouraged either.

It’s a lot easier than you think!

This is just to encourage you and others in pain that some have found ways to alleviate suffering from these ailments. May the Lord lead you to what you need, Amen.

Appreciate it, What is this program, what supplements, creams are taken?
I have been transforming my diet intake with antinflamatory vits and with other vits and supplements, oils, creams and healthy foods etc. alone with regular moderate excersise. Unfortunately, it doesn't all happen overnight, but slowly weening into this so it wont be a total shock to my body, since not everything they claim is totaly free of pesticides, sugars, sodium, gluten, preservatives toxins or organic, etc. At these "Healthy type" resturants, stomach is getting use to it, but ironically, i just got another flare up. They say you cant reverse this osteo deformity but, only control it, bless you mightily for the advice and prayers.
