Chuck is on a vicious cycle. The cycle is this: he needs to be more active, doing therapy, etc. If he could do this, his digestive tract would behave MUCH better. However he feels too miserable and nauseous to try therapy. Thus the problem is exacerbated. On top of that, he's "down" which makes everything hurt and everything hard. His get up and go has got up and went. Please pray for any attacks on his spirit and psyche.

This is a PERFECT time to re-read:

Psalm 13
A psalm of David

1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; 4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.
