God has promised to meet my every need in accordance with his will and has proven that He is trustworthy by His care for me throughout my life.

God has given me peace to accept my health problem when I can not understand why these things are happening to me. Because of God’s love for me, I can be happy even in these difficult circumstances.

My husband has promised to take care of me at home for as long as he is physically able to care for me.

I still live at home with my husband who loves me very much.

I can still walk short distances with little or no pain in spite of the serious back problems that I have.

I can still get in and out of bed with little or no help from anyone.
