Your Question:

What do I do when my body betrays me?

Answer:

When your body betrays you, it can be a difficult and painful experience. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of guilt and shame when their bodies don't cooperate with their desires or expectations. It's as if their bodies are "betraying" them, and they feel like it's their fault.

But the truth is, our bodies are not our own. We are not in control of every aspect of our physical health, and sometimes things just don't go as planned. When this happens, it's essential to remember that our worth and identity are not tied to our physical bodies. As Christians, we know that we are loved and valued by God, regardless of our physical condition.

So, what do you do when your body betrays you? First, take a step back and acknowledge your feelings. It's okay to feel sad, angry, or frustrated. But then, take a deep breath and remind yourself of the truth: you are not defined by your physical body. You are a child of God, loved and valued just as you are. And if you're struggling with feelings of guilt or shame, remember that God's forgiveness is available to you, no matter what.
