Contents

A womans life is filled with the joy of many wonderful seasons, according to a wise Creators design. The Word of God says, To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven (Eccles. 3:1, NKJV).

In the springtime, a womans femininity awakens in the tender bloom of her youth. In the summer, her fruitful body fills her life with the busy joy of babies and children. But the autumn of a womans life can be the most wonderful season of all. During the years of menopause, a harvest of all the good things a woman has planted into those around her comes back to her. In addition, the joy of grownup children, grandchildren and the freedom of new pursuits can paint her life with a burst of change as beautiful and as varied as a dazzling display of autumn color.

If you have entered into the autumn season of menopause, you are probably sensing that you are embarking upon a special season of great change. And since new challenges always accompany change, you may be filled with questions. Dont be alarmed; it is all according to Gods wonderful plan for your life. Look at this powerful promise in Scripture:

For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

JEREMIAH 29:11

God created your body to go through your life changes in a natural, healthy and positive way. My prayer for you as a result of reading and putting into practice what you need from this book is that all is well with you and that your body is as healthy as I know your soul is (3 John 2).

Gods desire for you as you pass through the natural life transition of premenopause, menopause and postmenopause is to be healthy and renewed, as the psalmist declares, He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagles! (Ps. 103:5). You may feel that menopause signals an aging and deterioration of life. Gods plan contradicts that! As you mature physically, God desires to renew your strength and vitality so that you feel young, strong and able to serve Him in all things.

What is menopause? Its neither a disease nor abnormality! Its simply the stopping or cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual cycle for a year are considered postmenopausal.

In the United States, many women face menopause with fear and trepidation. About 50 percent of women in the United States experience some degree of significant symptoms during menopause.

So, as you read this book, get ready to feel better physically, emotionally and spiritually. This Bible Cure booklet is filled with practical steps, hope, encouragement and understanding on how to stay fit and healthy. In this book, you will

for body, soul and spirit

Heavenly Father, You have declared in Your Word that You desire my strength to be renewed as the eagles. I claim Your desire for me to prosper and be in good health, both in body and soul. I need Your strength to develop a positive attitude for rising above menopause and its symptoms. By Your stripes I have been healed, so I receive Your healing for any pain and discomfort in my body during this transition time in my physical life process. Thank You for caring for me and all my feelings and emotions. Empower me to make wise choices and follow the guidelines in Your Word concerning healthy nutritional and lifestyle choices. By Your Spirit, help me to pray in Your will that I might know Your abundant life for myself and in my relationships. Heal any hurt I may have caused others when I have not felt well. Thank You, Lord, for hearing and answering my prayers so that I might fully serve Youbody, soul and spirit. Amen.
