9.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson. . .
Oscar comes to talk to you about terrible headaches he has been having. He describes the
pain as unbearable. When they begin, he has to lay still in a dark place as it hurts to see or
move. He has been to a doctor and has some medication to try. Oscar tells you he is
frustrated and doesn’t understand why God would let him be in so much pain. What can you
tell him? How can you counsel him during this time?
