I thank you, Lord, not for the pain
But that Your love redeems.
I know that I must walk though this
As heavy as it seems.
But when I think I can’t go on,
The pain is so intense,
It’s then You whisper in my soul,
“Of this I will make sense.”
This too You’ll use to help someone,
In this I’ll give You praise.
I’ll gladly bear the price of pain
If this Your hand displays.
For in my weakness You are strong,
This pain is not in vain,
For You waste nothing in my life,
Myself and others gain.
So though I ask for healing,
I want Your plan far more,
For in the center of Your will
There’s peace forevermore.

About Carol A. Penhorwood
“Blessed by pain.” That’s how Carol would describe her journey with the Lord. Her ongoing battle with fibromyalgia, a condition known for widespread pain and fatigue, was the result of an auto accident many years ago. But Carol discovered limitations and pain have put her more in touch with her heavenly Father. During her frequent periods of inactivity, she has found words coming to mind that begged to be written. Carol wants to use them as an outlet to encourage, support, and inspire others.Carol is a member of Faithwriters.com, a regular contributor to christianpoetspen.blogspot.com, and has published both in print and on-line.Carol and her husband have been married 44 years, have three grown daughters, and ten grandchildren.
