My Spouse was Injured

My spouse was injured on the job a little over three years ago, He has three disks in his neck that are crushed and cause him constant pain. Workman's compensation here, in our state of Texas has all but disappeared and the insurance companies are running the show. The doctor he was seeing for over 2 years has decided not to continue being a part of workman's compensation anymore and other doctors in the area have refused to take on a case that is over a year old.

So he sits day in and day out in constant pain. Some days are good and aspirin help him, other days nothing helps. I watch him bear this burden and it hurts me. I love him so much, and to see him endure this pain because of "The politics of Workman's compensation" drives me crazy. I want to do something to ease his constant pain but I feel helpless and can only offer my love. The hurt he endures makes me hurt too and it is hard for me to watch him go through this.

I am deeply, deeply sorry, and I know I am joined in this by everyone who has read your letter.
We pray with you for the miracles you need:

Dear God,
Please help our beloved sister
and her husband.
May the divine physician stand above him,
and heal his back that he might be free of pain.
May the way be paved
that he might suffer no more.
This couple needs a miracle, dear God.
Please give it to them.
Amen
