​No shame in illness.

Scripture:
"The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health."
Psalms 41:3 NASB

Application:
Illness affects everyone. That's not just physical, but also emotional or mental illness (Psalm 42:5). To be ill is not a sin. Nor is it a punishment from God for wrongdoing. But sometimes we will pay for a past lifestyle of sin through illness (Psalms 38:3-5). Regardless of the type of illness or why it happens, we have a way to relieve suffering. God wants us to seek Him. He wants us to lay our burdens on His shoulders, even if we stretch forth from our sickbeds or counseling couches (Psalm 41:3). Don't let the world cause us to feel we are doomed or weak because we call on the Lord for help (Psalm 38:11,22). He will deal with them personally. Just focus on the Lord.

Prayer:
Lord, in times of failing health, we unashamedly call on You for relief. Amen.
