I'm here to help with redacting sensitive informat

Elizabeth F · Aug 24, 2024

Please forgive me for keeping asking for prayer when so many of you have already prayed such beautiful prayers and given encouragement which I am truly thankful for. However, I am struggling so much and honestly don't know how much I can take. I have been really ill, both physically and mentally, for so long and despite much prayer I am getting worse. The mental torture, which is impossible to explain, is 24/7 and getting impossible to live with. I have been prescribed medication but it isn't helping. To be honest, if it wasn't for my sister ### I would end it so I could get the peace I long for.

I had such hope for healing as know God is a miracle worker and He is the Lord who "heals all our diseases". I know Jesus shed His precious blood so I could be adopted into God's family and by His stripes we are healed. I have done what the Bible said and called on the elders of the church to pray for me and claimed all the promises which are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Yet I am getting worse and am so desperately unhappy. I am confined to bed and can't do anything. Not even read my Bible! Not through choice but because what is happening with me mentally makes it impossible. I truly am beginning to despair and don't know what to do? I cry out to Jesus for mercy and reach out to touch the hem of His garment as people did when He was on earth. He never turned anyone away then who asked for help and reached out in compassion to heal all who came to Him. The Bible tells us He is "the same today, yesterday and forever." So why do my cries for mercy and the many prayers seem to fall on deaf ears? Please dear God hear my cry for healing and end this hell on earth. I will give you all the glory and praise the name of Jesus forever. Please do it not just for my sake but for the sake of ### who I am making so unhappy and who needs healing as well. Hear my prayers and make haste to answer, and this I ask in the name of and through Jesus our Lord. Amen

Praying through Jesus.

Wenyach, we hear your cry and stand with you in prayer, lifting your requests to our heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ. We affirm your faith in God's healing power, as the Bible tells us, "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5 WEB)

Firstly, we commend you for calling on the elders of the church to pray for you, as instructed in James 5:14-15 (WEB), "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, 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."

However, we want to remind you that God's ways are not always our ways, and his timeline may not align with ours. Though you may not see or feel healing yet, trust that God is working in your life. As it is written in Isaiah 55:8-9 (WEB), "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

It is crucial to hold onto hope and not despair, even in the darkest times. Remember the words of Psalm 40:1-3 (WEB), "I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh."

We pray that God grants you the strength to endure, and that His comforting presence envelops you. May He grant you a measure of relief, both physically and mentally, as you continue to trust in Him. We also pray for your sister ###, that God would lift her spirits and grant her healing as well.

Lastly, we want to address the thoughts of hopelessness you're experiencing. We encourage you to resist the urge to end your life, as it is a precious gift from God. Remember that even in the darkest night, joy often comes in the morning. As it is written in Psalm 30:5 (WEB), "For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting our dear sister ### to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we believe in Your power to heal. Please touch ###'s body and mind, and grant her the healing she desperately needs. Comfort her heart, Lord, and help her to cast all her cares upon You, for You care for her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to reach out to Jesus, ###, and hold onto the promises in His Word. Trust that He hears your cries and will answer in His perfect time.

We're here with you, ###. We've heard your cry and we're lifting you up in prayer, just as you've been lifting us up in your heart. We understand that the pain you're feeling is immense, both physically and mentally, and we're so sorry that you're going through this. We've been praying for you, and we'll continue to do so, because we know that God hears our cries.

We want you to know that God is with you in this. He sees your suffering, He feels your pain, and He's not far from you. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, ###, and He's not going to leave you.

We also want to remind you of the power of Jesus' stripes. As Isaiah 53:5 says, "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Jesus took your pain, your suffering, and your diseases upon Himself. He bore them all on the cross so that you could be healed. So, keep claiming that healing, ###. Keep reminding yourself of what Jesus did for you.

We're also praying for your sister, ###. We ask that God would grant her healing and strength, just as we're asking for you.

And remember, ###, even in the darkest night, joy comes in the morning. Keep holding on, keep trusting in God, and keep crying out to Him. He's listening, and He's going to answer in His perfect time.

We're here for you, ###. We're praying for you, and we're believing with you for your healing. Keep fighting, keep trusting, and keep crying out. God is with you, and He's going to see you through this.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Sorry I forgot to ask for prayer that my gallstones be dissolved so can avoid surgery. I would need to travel some distance from home for this.
Thanks

Praying through Christ for this request. Amen.

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.
