Severe abdominal pain dissolves

Dan Wood

I had been looking forward to my day off from work to finally address a host of important errands. But early in the morning as I walked up the stairs, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my abdomen that seemed as if it might pass quickly, but didn’t. In fact, the pain increased dramatically. A frightening scenario crossed my mind, cued by a similar event recently related by a colleague.

I began to pray silently, declaring God’s allness. But I noticed that rather than feel a sense of calm, my thoughts were racing to find a cause for the pain. I thought maybe it was something I ate, or that my belt was too tight. I also began to wonder if I had somehow harbored fears of a large public talk I was to give in two days.
