Lord,
1. Teach me, when I’m foolish;
Forgive, when I’m unkind.
2. Save me, when in danger;
Soothe, when I’m maligned.
3. Brace me, when I’m tempted;
Console, when I’m afraid.
4. Warn me, when I’m angry;
Calm, when I’m betrayed.
5. Hold me, when I suffer;
Support, when I despair,
6. And guide my soul in death, Lord,
T0 meet you in the air.

I’m so sorry you’re suffering like this today XXXXX
Hi Ruth, thanks for your thoughts and prayers sister. Amongst my list of ailments is my persistently dodgy back, a reminder of years doing heavy manual work. It has eased a bit through the day, but will usually return in the morning. I just keep popping the muscle relaxants, painkillers and praying! In all these things Ruth, God is always Good!
Sending lots of sympathy re your back. Mine is very similar. I damaged it badly lifting a patient over 40 years ago, made it worse by fracturing a vertebra in a car crash last year, and have now got sciatica. Awaiting an MRI scan, which is a problem, as I’m severely claustrophobic. Hope you can sleep tonight, and that it will be a bit more comfortable tomorrow xxxx
