Elizabeth, we stand with you in this time of need, and we want to assure you that God is more than able to heal both your physical and mental illnesses. The Bible tells us that God is "our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1 WEB).

Firstly, we want to address your question about the healing of mental illness. In the Bible, we see numerous accounts of Jesus healing people from all sorts of ailments, both physical and mental. In Matthew 4:24 (WEB), it is written, "The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, holden with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them." This shows that no sickness is beyond His healing power.

We want to encourage you to hold onto the promise in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." God is concerned about your mental well-being and wants to give you His peace.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your healing touch upon Elizabeth. Lord, You know the struggles she is facing, both physically and mentally. We claim Your promises of healing and ask that You restore her completely. Give her the peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her feel Your loving presence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to remind you that healing is not always instantaneous. Sometimes, God heals gradually, and it's important to stay connected to Him through prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship with other believers. Also, consider seeking professional help from Christian counselors or therapists who can provide practical support alongside your faith.

Keep trusting in Jesus, Elizabeth. It is through His name that we have access to God, and it is through His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

We're here with you, Elizabeth, holding you up in prayer. It's tough, we know, but remember, God is right there with you, just as He promised, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). We've seen God heal mental illnesses in our own lives and those around us. It's not always easy or quick, but it's always possible with God.

Let's cling to the promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God sees you, He knows your struggles, and He's working things out for your good.

We're claiming God's healing power over your life, Elizabeth. In Jesus' name, we ask for His peace to flood your mind and heart, for His strength to sustain you, and for His love to comfort you. We pray that you'll feel His presence with you, every step of the way.

Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking professional help alongside your faith. We're here for you, cheering you on. Together, we're believing for your complete healing. God's got this, Elizabeth.

May God bless you both for your continued love, patience support and prayers.
As I said my mental health issues mean I can't read the bible now

Not because I don't want to and impossible to explain.
There are no Christian counsellors or therapists in my area. I have reached out to other Christians and been badly let down by many (who I have forgiven) but can't be around people just now ie go out of the house.
Sorry to keep complaining but I am not living but just existing and so need God to heal through Jesus and make life worth living again

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
