Why Me Lord?: Finding Joy in Affliction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479617685)

It's hard not to feel overwhelmed when you're going through a protracted illness. The feelings in suffering can lead you to ask,

"Why, Lord, am I going through this crisis that has me battling low self-esteem due to my debilitating disease?"

"Why am I wrestling with loneliness? It seems no one cares."

"Why am I living with anxiety and depression? Will I be able to experience joy?"

Many people experience chronic illness or physical disability from which they may not be healed fully or at all. They may find it hard to stay upbeat while praying for healing, especially when their health is not improving. They may become desperate, longing for a little more happiness in their distress, wondering if God is in tune with what is going on in their lives.

Why Me Lord? Finding Joy in Affliction can help the wounded warrior find true joy in suffering. Join the author on a journey in God's promises, finding the Source of real joy. Through Reginald's inspirational testimony, along with those of others who have been injured on the health crisis battlefield, you will be inspired to rise above depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and the loss of identity brought on by your own health crisis.

"We met a young man in the hospital. He has been there for three months waiting for a heart transplant. He loves the Lord, and instead of feeling sorry for himself, he declares he has a Fifth Floor Ministry. He goes from room to room, encouraging other heart patients. He prays for them, encourages them, tells Bible jokes, and shares his testimony about the goodness of God. All the while, he is hooked up to a machine that keeps his heart pumping. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him and pray for him. What a ministry amid his own need!" Danielle G., daughter of a 5th floor patient
