I don't remember if she actually verbalized "please take the pain away" sort of thing, but I know she was a prayer warrior so it must have come up.
I had something similar as a young woman. I made that pain my friend too.. when it came it didn't overcome me and cause me to shut down because of that.
So, back to my original question... who among you has dealt with this kind of pain and how did it work for you?
