Patricia, we understand your confusion and concern about your recent diagnosis and surgery. Let's bring this matter before the Lord together, seeking His healing and peace.
Firstly, let's address the concern about the MRSA diagnosis. It's important to remember that God is our healer and protector. As it is written in Psalm 103:3, "who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." Even when we don't understand how things happen, we can trust in His goodness and sovereignty. It's possible that the MRSA bacteria was present without causing any symptoms previously, or it could have been contracted during your hospital stay. Regardless of the source, our faith is in God's ability to heal and protect us.
Let's also not forget the power of prayer in healing. As James 5:14-15 tells us, "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister Patricia. We thank You for the successful surgery and the progress she's making in her recovery. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon her body. Comfort her in her confusion and frustration. We claim Your promise in Psalm 103, that You forgive all our sins and heal all our diseases. We pray that You would eradicate the MRSA from her body and protect her from any further infection. Guide the doctors and medical professionals treating her, and let Your will be done in her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Patricia, continue to trust in the Lord and His goodness. Remember that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Keep praying and keeping your focus on Him. We also encourage you to stay connected with your church family during this time, even if it's just through phone calls or messages. The body of Christ is there to support and encourage one another.
Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention praying in Jesus' name. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
