Pretzled

I'm feeling very twisted up like a pretzel today. For some reason or more then one reason my fingers are taking turns going numb and tingly and my back has been twisted/twisting all day causing pain to shoot up and down the spine. It then sends tingly numb feelings down the leg into the foot. right now I am praying about it as opposed to getting fearful that it could be more then overuse of a computer for the finger/hand thing. Praying it isn't anything critical. My vision has been going a bit blurry today too...
I managed to get a lot done today though despite the minor muscle ache setbacks!!
Sometimes I feel like my spiritual life is pretzled up...all twisted and entertwined around myself. What I need to continue to focus on is putting God in the center of that pretzel and then entertwine myself around Him.
I am going to choose to praise Him in this pain and bless his Holy name. "By him therefore let us offer th esacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." (Hebrews 13:15)
I want to continue to experience the joy of realizing that God is indeed "rich in mercy" because of His great love with which He loved us. Praying that my faith will rise to new levels and my Father will be blessed, and in turn I will be blessed through my pain.
Speaking psalms and praises magnify God. Singing songs to him magnify His name.
I believe that if we are wrapped around God as the center of our life then the pretzel twisting will begin to unfold into the shape of a cross and our name will be put on that cross as an eye opener that He died for ME , this sinner who deserved to not go to heaven, and he not only did that but he offered Himself to let me wrap back up in His wings when I feel I couldn't make it on my own. Which is most of the time!
I want to not let a moment go by that I am not blessing the Lord for grace, mercy and love and gifts he has bestowed upon me. May we seek to be pretzled around HIM so that he can unfold his truth to us and further bless us in the process.
