Hi Marianne, Im praying for you. Two verses come to mind as I can relate to the neverending struggle with self. Sometimes I forgot that my ultimate reason for existence is to glorify Him, with all that I am, all that I say, and all that I do. (1st Commandment)

“I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.” (Phillipians 3:12)

“You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.” (Psalms 51:16)

Also, there is a book by Jordan Rubin called “The Makers Diet” that recounts his struggle with pain and deteriorating health and how he overcame with the Lords help.

So sorry to hear that you are in pain. I can relate, even though I´ve been healthy and practically pain free for the last 4 years (RA). If my pain would flare up again I too would be struggling, trying to hold on to this new identity I´ve formed (a woman who loves to workout and wants visual results). However, my identity in christ is the only true one. He WILL complete his work in us. He WILL carry our burdens. And you are glorious and fearfully and wonderfully made (psalm 139:14). God bless!

Tough struggles Marianne. It sounds like you are going through something really tough and I hope that you do become stronger, eventually, yes.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Cor 12:9

When you come out on the other side you will find your balance…your peace. I appreciate your sharing your path into enllightment. I’m not sure if swimming is painful, but you can maintain a beautiful lean body (vessel) by swimming or doing yoga.
