I love early mornings. It’s about 4:30 a.m.; everything is quiet and peaceful. There is very little traffic coming down the street.I worked an overnight shift for around 26 years, so being up all night is not a strange thing for me. Now that I have retired, I find it very difficult to go to bed at normal hours (10/11:00 p.m.). My body clock has just been so used to not slowing down until 8 a.m.Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I have two different kinds of sleep apnea: central and obstructive. I use what they call a BiPAP, which is similar to the CPAP, but the BiPAP does a little more.Getting good sleep is necessary for the body to rejuvenate itself while you’re sleeping. For the past couple of years, I have found it very hard to sleep. Most of the time, it takes me around 45 minutes to fall asleep, and then once I am asleep, I wake up in 3 to 4 hours.I’ve been to and have talked to my sleep and regular doctors. They both agree that they are pretty sure there is something going on with one or more of three conditions. The only problem is my health insurance keeps denying the tests needed for the proper diagnosis. So ultimately, I can’t get any kind of treatment if the doctors are not exactly sure which organ is not working properly.I could say many things about the health insurance company, but it is just not worth it. My insurance will change come April 1st, 2026, anyway, and I will get the necessary testing done then.I mentioned all that for this reason:Many of you are facing medical problems; if you’re not, at some point you probably will. What can we do while we are waiting for a diagnosis or treatments, even surgery?You can certainly sit around and feel sorry for yourself. This will just make you more miserable than you already feel. You can pretend everything is okay and do nothing. That generally will work for a while, but you are causing more harm to your body and prolonging your recovery later (I have learned the hard way with that one).We can go to God with all of our ailments. Our God is the great physician. He created us. He knows every little detail about our bodies. He has healed many people and even raised a few from death; He has healed the crippled to walk and made the blind to see. You can find all of that in scripture. God still heals people today. We hear about it, but the world wants us to believe it was something other than God.Here’s the thing to remember about healing: God may choose not to heal you. It might be for just right now, or it might never be. The Apostle Paul had an ailment that God would not heal. We don’t know why or what that ailment was, but Paul, at times, was in agonizing pain.God has a reason for everything. Plenty of times we won’t ever understand. There are times when God shows us why.God knows what’s best for us, how much we can handle, and it will never be too much for us to withstand, as long as we are faithful in our walk with Him.We need to keep in prayer with God. Prayer should always be the first thing you know. God wants us to come to Him for everything. We are to pray without ceasing, according to God’s word. Ask for anything, and God will answer.My faith rests in God. He already knows what’s going on inside my body. When the time is right, I know I will be healed, or I will know that God may decide not to heal.However God chooses to act, I will give Him glory and praise. God knows best what I need.It really all comes down to you. Do you really trust God? Or do you just say you do?Trusting is not seeing; trusting is having faith in what you cannot see and believe.May God’s peace always be with you.
