Bible Answer: Hello bk.., God bless you and I'm sorry for your accident and consequences. 2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. You might try looking into the history of Charels Spurgeon (just do a web search on the name) try to find biographical information on him. He is considered one of the best theologians and preachers of his time and perhaps ever. I mention him because he lived with very severe pain that threatened, and at times I believe actually, incapacitated him. You will find that, reagarding the above verse, Mr. Spurgeon lived and learned to believe it. Also, many of my patients have Bipolar Disorder and I have seen different combinations of medications work extremely well for many of them. Bipolar is one of the most treatable disorders in this field of medicine when the patient is compliant with medication regimen. Therapy/counseling may be helpful as well. Continue to pray and praise God and think Him for sparing your life. Seek to make it worthwhile that you were spared by recognizing He has a plan for you. Seek Him, believe Him, and follow Him. Hope this helps |
