I have arthritis in both knees. Not long ago, my right knee started hurting very badly. I have an elastic thing which is called a knee stabilizer. I slip it over my foot and up around my knee and it helps to keep that knee in place and, in the past, has helped when I have been having trouble with one of my knees.
But
I hadn't used it in quite some time because I hadn't needed to. But
when my right knee flared up recently, I got it out and wore it for 2
maybe 3 days during the day.
One
day the pain got so bad that I found myself frightened about the
future...what if this pain doesn't go away or gets worse...how will I
manage the stairs and how will I be able to walk and get around and do
things...should we move? All sorts of thoughts like this came to me.
As I was thinking about these things, I heard...Take no thought for the morrow.
When I heard this, I stopped and turned to God and talked to Him about these fears.
A
little later I was sitting in the living room and the pain became even
worse. Then the thought came to remove the knee stabilizer.
I did this and immediately the pain disappeared! It was an amazing change. What, in the past, had helped me... for some reason, this time, was causing the pain.
I believe it was God who gave me the thought to do this and was grateful to have His help showing me what to do.
