"Pain in the neck." I almost laughed when these words came to me! Often we refer to this phrase when someone bugs us and we say they're a real pain in the neck! What do we do about that pain?
I think there are times when that pain doesn't even get our attention. Sort of an under the radar of our awareness, so we really might ignore it. Then as that irritation gets worse we try different avenues to deal with it.
That takes some time, for sure. But time comes when this pain really has gotten our attention and we try to "push the envelope" to find someone to help us figure out how to get rid of it.
Sometimes we find ourselves seeking professional help to the tune of a couselor, therapist, family doctor, even a surgeon. If the "pain in the neck" is a real pain in the neck, or any physical pain in the body, we may even refer to massage, chiropractic or physical therapy. There are so many resources, arent there!
One resource for many is prayer, asking the "Great Physician" for guidance. Then an inspiration may come, a friend may say something that seems to point us in a direction; that indeed becomes our answer.
It is no fun for any "pain in the neck" but trusting those who know more than we do can bring us to a resolution we never would have thought of ourselves! Sometimes the solution is easy but often is complex and challenging. Time and trust are helpers! Good luck with all your "pains" whether physical, relational or spiritual.
