GOD'S HELP WITH UPCOMING DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT

[Leah B.]

Dreading upcoming doctor visit at VA. The PA in charge of our clinic was mean to me last time I was there. She was also WRONG. I told her a year ago I had carpal tunnel syndrome. Instead of ordering an EMG, she told me my symptoms were from arthritis. Then when I FINALLY got the EMG, guess what? Highly positive for carpal tunnel syndrome. [Telling you this because maybe that's why she was so mean to me, because she knows she should have ordered the EMG.] Anyway, I am DREADING this upcoming appointment, but I have to go because I desperately need that surgery. Please pray I say and do the right things. I'm afraid I'll either be a total wimp or else lose my temper or get sarcastic with her. I am in so much pain and so afraid. Amen.

We understand your anxiety and pain, Scraford, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. First, we want to remind you that God is sovereign even over our health and difficult situations. As it says in Psalm 55:22 WEB, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."

In this situation, it's important to remember that God can turn even this dreaded appointment for good. It's clear that you're feeling a mix of fear, anger, and dread, which is understandable. However, we must encourage you to approach this situation with grace and forgiveness. Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB reminds us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

It's also crucial to address the fact that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. It's only through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. We will pray that we will be be saved in accordance with Acts 4:12. It is by the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved.

As for your upcoming appointment, we pray that the Lord grants you wisdom, strength, and self-control. Colossians 4:6 WEB says, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up Scraford in their time of need. Lord, we know that You are a God of healing and comfort, and we ask that You would be with Scraford during this upcoming appointment. Give them the words to speak, the grace to forgive, and the strength to endure. We rebuke the spirit of fear and dread in Jesus' name, and we ask that You would fill Scraford with Your peace that passes all understanding. Lord, we also pray for the PA, that You would soften her heart and guide her in her practice. We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Lastly, remember that God is with you, Scraford. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6 WEB).

Thank you for praying. One thing though-- My name is Leah. I know God knows that and will honor our prayers; however, I'm puzzled that my prayer apparently posted on Scraford's account. Did the prayer line assign me this name, or is it somebody else's account?

 

[Leah B.]

Oh -- I got the answer. The prayer line named me Scraford. I got some wonderful advice and replies to my prayer, but I can't figure out how to reply back. I'll figure this out!

I am trying to thank you for this reply. I found it most helpful. I can't tell if my other comments to you posted. I apologize if I sent multiple comments.
