It seems that pain is unavoidable for all humanity. Yesterday, I experienced a horrible migraine headache. The medicine didn&#8217;t stop it, a failed nap, being in a dark room, holding pressure on the area, eating food, meditation, and prayer did not stop it. Yet, I prayed to relax and allow the oxygen to flow through my body to bring relief. Feeling the pain instinctively makes me call on God. Then I think about the pain that Jesus Christ endured on that cross and how my pain could only be a fraction of what he must have experienced. I feel slightly guilty for complaining about my pain but pain is pain. Pain in the moment seems inescapable and out of our control. I suppose succumbing to it and allowing it to wash over me is better than fighting it but it still hurts and I hate to hurt. We all hate to hurt, to suffer, or to be in any amount of pain. The pain is still there and so I will do the only thing I can with it, suffer through it, pray, and attempt to offer it up for the suffering of others.<br \/>\nHow do you deal with pain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pain and Suffering in life&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[642,1394],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18920"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
