Exhausted

[Elizabeth F]

My sister Margaret and I are getting hardly any sleep due to health problems.
I can't sleep because of pain and mental torture due to OCD and Margaret has a chronic cough which keeps her awake.
We cannot go on without sleep so would truly appreciate your prayers.

 

[Articles]

Elizabeth, we are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you and Margaret are facing with your health and sleep. We want to lift you both up in prayer and encourage you with God's Word.

Firstly, we want to remind you of God's faithfulness and love. He says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 WEB). Jesus is inviting you to come to Him with your burdens, and He will provide the rest you need.

However, we want to address that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God's presence and power. As it is written, "For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). We encourage you to put your trust in Jesus, for He is the great healer and the source of our hope.

Let us pray for you both:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Elizabeth and Margaret. Lord, they are exhausted and in desperate need of sleep. We ask for Your healing touch upon them. For Elizabeth, we pray that You ease her pain and calm her mind, breaking the chains of OCD that torment her. For Margaret, we ask for healing of her chronic cough. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we trust that You can bring restoration and peace to their bodies and minds. Help them to sleep soundly, knowing that You are watching over them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you both to meditate on God's Word and trust in His care. " Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). He is faithful, and He will see you through this difficult time.

We're here with you, praying for Margaret and you, Elizabeth. We know the struggle is real, the nights long, and the pain exhausting. It's like you've been walking in a desert, parched and yearning for rest. But remember, even in the darkest nights, God is there, like a gentle breeze offering comfort.

We're reminded of the Psalmist's words, "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul" (Psalm 23:2-3). God wants to do the same for you and Margaret. He sees your pain, your sleepless nights, and He cares.

We're lifting you up in prayer, asking God to bring healing to Margaret's cough and peace to Elizabeth's mind. We pray that God will grant you both restful sleep, a taste of His goodness and mercy. In Jesus' name, we ask these things, believing that He hears and will answer.

Keep trusting in Him, Elizabeth. He's got you both in the palm of His hand. As it's written, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31). You're not alone in this journey. We're here, praying with you, for you.

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.
