180. Aren’t I Suffering Enough? Finding Peace in Chronic Illness | Maureen Pratt
Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma
Welcome to Episode 180 of the Warrior Words podcast! This week's Summer Rewind features Maureen Pratt. In her original episode, number 80, Maureen shared her story of chronic illness from childhood until present day. She tells but doesn't dwell. In fact, Maureen has found peace in her suffering. She even titled her book, Peace in the Storm. She has even formed an entire ministry around this book - a ministry God started forming before she even knew about it. One other thing Maureen talks about in this episode is that she went looking for a particular type of book after receiving a diagnosis. She couldn't find one, so she wrote it. That's a challenge I'd like to issue: if you can't find what you need, pray about it, and then create it. Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.
