Loss and pain
Losing health
Feeling that your body no longer responds as before, and having to learn to live differently.
What the Bible can tell you
Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16
He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
Isaiah 40:29
My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalms 73:26
A human reading
Losing health changes plans, work, and the image you had of yourself. The text says that even when the body wears down, the inner person can be renewed. Adapting with medical and emotional support helps a lot.
