  • S2 E61 | In Pain? Try these 5 steps to help.
    Jun 16 2025

    Somedays does it feel like you’re going uphill, and experiencing pain that feels like it will never end. I understand you. On today’s episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™, I will share five things that helped me from letting the pain take over my mind so that I could find joy in the day, even when there was pain.

    Summary - Reflection and Application

    1. Pain is real and how we respond to it matters.
    2. Notice what your thoughts are focused on.
    3. Seek to renew the mind by meditating on what is good and the scripture below rather than ruminating on the pain.
    4. Focus on how the pain is refining you, not defining you.
    5. Meditate on Psalm 34:18 & 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (below)

    Scripture of the Week ⁠

    The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

    - Psalm 34:18

    Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
