I have bone cancer and am experiencing severe bone pain. I'm currently taking three pain medications - Gabapentin (gabapentin), oxycodone, and Lortab (hydrocodone plus acetaminophen) - but the pain has become really intense lately. My care team suggested this might mean my current pain management approach needs some changes, and they want to reassess things.

No matter what comes our way, we can move forward with faith and a thankful heart. Have a blessed and beautiful Thursday! 🙏✨Matthew 6:3 “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Jesus is teaching that when we do good—especially helping those in need—we shouldn’t do it to be seen or praised by others.

When life feels uncertain, the safest place is asking the Lord to direct your steps. 4. “For to you I entrust my life.” Total surrender. Not partial trust—complete dependence.
