Coping with Chronic Illness

I have had osteoarthritis since my early 20s and have also developed fibromyalgia and asthma. There were times I used to wonder if I had done something in the premortal existence to earn such “punishment,” but during one of my many priesthood blessings I was reassured that it wasn’t a punishment at all, that Heavenly Father was well aware of my condition and would help me endure it.
