Just as artists of the past glamorized and misrepresented sickness and fatigue, even well-meaning doctors or loved ones can unintentionally gloss over our difficult realities. The truth is, there’s nothing glamorous about being unable to get out of bed, struggling to find energy for even the simplest tasks, or feeling lost in a fog that just won’t lift…

It’s my prayer that you will feel seen, understood, and embraced by the Lord when you read and pray A Lament for Difficult Medical Seasons. Send it to someone who is struggling to show them that you care—and to remind them that they are never alone.

One of ironies of being a caregiver or having health issues is being isolated during a time when you need people the most. Do you feel alone or overwhelmed with your caregiving or health challenges? If so, I hope you’ll join The Incurable Faith Book Club!
