Do you ever struggle with communicating with God during your menstrual cycle? I have trouble every time. I don’t trust myself around that time, and I wonder if God is merciful to me because I can’t control the way that my body and mind operates at that time.
It’s interesting you ask this because I have set a dr appt to discuss my cycle which been very, very difficult for me for the last year. I have felt actually that my weakness has been so obviously set before me as fact through this experience, & that I can be glad it revealed the truth in such an obvious way: my relationship with Christ is not hinged upon my body or my health or my functionality or my goodness or self control, & thank God for it. It is belief in His goodness. I believe that no matter what.
Please look in your Bible at this miracle & this verse!! Your body can be weak, bleeding, in pain, hurt, anything & God will be there with you too. God is merciful to you because of Him, not because of you. A period is not penance (though it sometimes feels like that for me lol) or a punishment or even a test, it's normal & sometimes struggling through it is normal, but we are not to be discouraged in our weakness. God is our strength through it. :)
