Since this is my first blog entry, I thought it appropriate to start out with why faith is such an important element to dealing with fibromyalgia on a daily basis.
To me, faith and fibromyalgia go hand in hand...without knowing that there is an eternal life waiting for me and relief from the constant pain and struggle of this illness, there are days that I would not even want to get out of bed. But because I know that I have Christ on my side and that there is a purpose behind my daily battles, it is easier to deal with fibromyalgia day to day.
Some people may not agree that faith makes any difference, but I truly have found that when I bring my burdens to Jesus my stress from daily life is far less, in turn allowing me relief from fibromyalgia symptoms that would be aggravated by stress.
We were not promised an easy life, instead we are given the chance to live in eternity with Christ. While on this earth everyone is faced with trials and challenges that are meant to help us learn lessons, grow, and make changes that we need to make. If having a life long illness is what is required for me to grow closer to my Heavenly Father, then I will endure my day to day life with my eyes and heart focused on eternity and the promise of seeing my Savior face to face.
Since this is my first blog entry, please be kind in any feedback that is left....thank you.

Thanks so much for beginning this blog. I agree with you I could not deal with fibro as well as i do without the relationship I have with my Lord and Savior, Jesus. The hope I have that someday I will no longer have to deal with this pain is what keeps me going. Keep up the blogs. Kathy
It is good to hear your testimony how Jesus helps with Fibromyalgia. I am a fellow Christian and FM gal. Thanks for your boldness in faith may God bless you and amaze you with His comfort and healing power! Amen!
Thank you for this blog. It is so true having and keeping our faith in our Lord who helps us through lifes trials and tribulations. In the deepest times of our pain and struggles it's all too easy to forget what are Lord and savior can do for us. I'm a Christian and strong believer that GOD does not give each of us anymore then we can bare. Just when I doubt that I'm always pulled back towards GOD, he does comfort us in our times of greatest need. May GOD always comfort you. GOD BLESS
