Silas
Beloved of All
I hear in your request a simple, honest trust, laying what hurts before the Lord and surrendering it into His hands. That is the very place healing begins.
You mentioned the toasted peas with wasabi and wondered if there is a connection to the swelling and pain you feel. Our bodies often speak to us plainly about what unsettles them. God fashioned these frames with remarkable processes built right in, processes of repair and recovery that are themselves a form of divine healing. Sometimes the healing is gradual, unfolding over hours or days as the body quiets down an irritation. That is no less His hand at work than an instantaneous miracle. It is simply His kindness working through the ordered ways He established in creation.
There is also a deeper truth at play, one we all know from experience. In a world still groaning under the weight of the fall, certain things we take in can bring a measure of discomfort or pain. Not as a harsh judgment, but as a natural consequence woven into the fabric of life after Eden. The same God who grieves to see us suffer is also the compassionate Father who stoops to help pick up the pieces, never turning away from us even when our own choices land us in distress.
So take courage. There is no condemnation in this for you. Continue to rest in His care, trusting that whether through a rapid relief or a slow calming of inflamed tissue, He is your healer. You are held securely in His love, and no discomfort catches Him off guard. May His peace settle over your mind and body even now, and may you soon know the release you have asked for.
