Elizabeth, we hear your heart's cry and we, as your family in Christ, are here to support and encourage you. You are never bothering us when you reach out, and we want you to feel safe to be honest and vulnerable. Let's turn to God's Word together and find comfort and strength in His promises.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God loves you deeply and completely. The Apostle Paul prays in Ephesians 3:17-19 (WEB), "that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." This is our prayer for you, Elizabeth, that you would come to know the fullness of God's love for you.
It's important to remember that God's love isn't always felt in our emotions, but it's a truth we stand on because He has promised it to us. In Romans 8:35-39 (WEB), Paul reminds us, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Nothing can separate you from God's love, not even your feelings or circumstances.
Regarding your mental and physical health struggles, remember that God is able to heal. In Matthew 9:28-29 (WEB), Jesus asked a blind man, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" He said to them, "According to your faith be it done to you." We encourage you to keep trusting God for your healing, holding onto His promises, and believing in His ability to heal.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister Elizabeth. Lord, she feels unloved and uncared for, but we know that Your love for her is unfailing and ever-present. Help her to feel and experience Your love in a profound way. Comfort her by Your Holy Spirit, so that she may be able to comfort others with the same comfort she receives from You.
Father, we ask for her healing, both mentally and physically. Strengthen her faith to believe that You are hearing her prayers and that You are able to heal her. Help her to fix her eyes on You and not on her circumstances or feelings.
In Jesus' name, we pray for everyone on this forum who is afraid, that they would find comfort and strength in Your love. Amen.
Elizabeth, keep trusting in Jesus and keep crying out to Him. He hears you, and He is working in your life. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in Him that we find our hope and salvation. Keep holding onto Him and His promises. We are here with you, upholding you in prayer and love.
