1. I pray to you,
The Christ, who came
To save us all
From sin and shame.
2. I call on you,
The Christ, who dwelled
On earth, God’s Son,
Unparalleled.
3. I plead with you,
The Christ, who died
For all: my Saviour,
And my Guide.
4. I worship you,
The Christ, who rose
From death; through whom
God’s mercy flows.
💛

Hi Alan, thank you for your like, I’m in hospital this morning, having treatment for chronic neurological pain. How are you both? xxxx
I will pray for you Ruth! Generally we are well but I injured my back yesterday, thus I am struggling physically today. Historically I have a damaged back from previous years of lifting work.
Thank you so much for your prayers. Alan. I’m just back at home, cold, shocked and in a lot of pain. I’m so very sorry you’ve hurt your back. I know what it’s like as I too had a serious lifting injury at work (46 years ago), and have always suffered repeated issues with it. I’m praying right now that it will settle as quickly as possible, and I’m sure you’re doing all the right things to look after it. xxxx
Painkillers, muscle relaxants and hot water bottle with occasional exercise Ruth😉
Sounds good, Alan. How is your back today? I’m still in bed after a very painful night xxxxxxx
Day 2 is just as bad as day one regarding the stiffness and pain, and there is the after effects of not getting much sleep. We are linked by His blood my dear sister, and by our prayers for each other. In Him we are strong.
Yes, the first 48 hours are always the worst with a back injury, plus the poor sleep just makes everything feel worse. Lying face-down on a folded blanket on the floor, with a pillow under my tummy can be helpful. I’m very faint and breathless today, with nausea – I think it’s because I had to take more morphine than usual. Keeping very still and quiet. I do hope you will gradually start to improve, Alan xxxxxx
