What Do You Say to God When You’re Tired of Being Sick? - SFT

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Marci Julin. Marci shares her nearly 20-year health decline—multiple diagnoses, surgeries, hospital stays, a year as an invalid—and how she learned to bring honest lament to God (Psalm 88:1–2), rely on the body of Christ, and receive practical care. This episode explores suffering, spiritual honesty, and how friends and caregivers can show up well. Read - Read Psalm 88:1–2 slowly today. Let the plainness of the prayer sink in. Reflect - Notice there is no quick fix in these verses—just a suffering person speaking truth to God. Ask: What honest sentence about my pain or situation am I avoiding? Respond -Write down one truthful sentence about your body or situation and say it aloud to God today. Reveal - Show love practically: deliver a prepared meal or quietly show up and say, “I’ll stay and listen,” then read Psalm 88 together if they want. Avoid unsolicited fixes; offer presence and specific help.
