Special request


In the last year I thought maybe my almost constant belly pain was due to candida albicans and decided to fight it with a quite strict diet and some natural supplements. I almost completely denied that that pain could still be due to a previous diagnosis of Crohn's disease, because I didn't relapse since a first crisis in 1997.

After almost one year, I can say diet didn't really help my intestines (even though I felt better in general). Not only I didn't notice a real and constant change but for the last 3-4 weeks, I'm in terrible pain and my digestive condition is getting quite awful. I fear the relapse, especially because of the pregnancy... I never really felt like this since 1997.

I wanted to talk about it here because I believe in the power of prayer and wanted to ask those of you who also believe it can make miracles to pray for me. At this point, I'm putting all my trust in God and I think that's the best and only thing to do.

Would you join your voice to mine in asking the Almighty for my recovery?

No, I won't ask for you recovery. I know better than that by now. Whatever God has in mind to accomplish through this illness and pregnancy, He always has something good in mind He wants to happen, and it isn't always perfect health. In fact, in my experience, He can accomplish far greater things through extreme adversity than He ever could through wellness and prosperity. So my prayer is not that you will get well; it's that you will be smart. You didn't say how old you are; chances are if you're pregnant, you are still fairly young. All I can tell you is to wait ten to fifteen years, and all of a sudden, a whole lot of things that people think of as tragedies, will start making a whole lot of sense, and you'll start saying, "Oh! I get it now!"

Wow. I didn't hear or read anything that thoughtful and sensible for a long time. Your words are very wise and filled with the detachment that I don't have right now - but that I really need. People too close to me aren't very objective either, it doesn't help me to see things from a different angle. All I can say is thanks and may God bless you for generating a new reflection. I know, deep down inside and instinctively, how much you're right.
