This last week I was looking on-line for a Menier's support group to get some ideas as to what people eat, how they manage their symptoms, etc. Well, that's how Satan got his hold on my emotions and brought me down! All I read on there were the worse-case-scenarios, the horror stories, the hell of this disease. It scared the daylights out of me! I got off of there in a complete panic and emotional fit!
Later that night I had my husband give me a blessing of comfort so I could put it all behind me and remember the priesthood blessings I've been given and the experiences in the temple I've had that my health would be good.
I've had several reminders from my dear mother, a friend of mine, and my husband that the only support group I need is right in front of me! The church, the scriptures, and the Lord. Period! I'll tell you what! Satan found his way to squeeze in and boy was it a hard squeeze! I don't need that negativity and I refuse to let it happen again! I've been told by the specialist I saw, by my bishop in a very comforting blessing, and by my husband in several blessings that I would have good health through all of this and I plan to have it that way! There is a lot of power in positive thinking and surrounding yourself with positive people, media, and faith.
In the middle of all of this, I was led to a scripture that has truly given me comfort.
Alma 37:37 "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."
Here are a few more that I like.
Luke 8:48 "...Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace."
Rom. 15:4 "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
