Prayers PLEASE.

I know I just had a terrific praise report, but now I need prayers for the ankle.

I’m in so much pain, both emotional and physical pain. The physical is from my hips and lower back all the way down to my lower leg and arch of my ankle. The boot I am in does not bend with walking. I have to shift and bend from the hips to move my leg. That is causing the lower back and hip pain. I was to wean off the crutches and slowly start walking. I am still doing so, but the pain is excruciating in the arch of my foot. The heel is okay, but the arch is causing some severe discomfort. I have also developed a huge goose egg swelling patch on the top of the foot which surprisingly doesn’t hurt and successfully goes down and away with icing and elevation. I’m now on two different pain meds and t
he maximum dosage of anti inflammatory meds.

I’m in emotional pain because all the pain from the leg and foot are causing me to think about the car accident and what i could have done to prevent ALL of this if I had just not gotten in the car. It’s a vicious cycle.

I know I need to rely on the Lord. He is holding me up during all this and I am struggling to lean on him. I don’t want the thoughts of the what ifs to plague me all the time. Please pray I do not give into them and entertain the persistent attacks of Satan.

I saw this entry on the front page and came here to let you know that I will pray for you. Now I see that this is due to a car accident…I myself almost died in a car accident many years ago. I still suffer because of that accident. But I don’t bother wondering ‘what if,’ because I was expected to die and I didn’t. I just try to focus on the fact that it could have turned out so much worse.

The ‘what ifs’ are pointless, because any time you get into a vehicle you run the risk of being in an accident. Think about it. Are you never going to get into a vehicle again because this happened? Of course not. Look at the positive side. You survived, and every day God is healing you. Praise God!
