Is God hearing me?

[Elizabeth F]

I am so sorry to sound self pitying but I have been confined to bed for six years and my life really isn't worth living any more
The only time I got out of my room was to spend two months in hospital.
Although my physical illnesses are really difficult to live with it is my mental illnesses (General Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, Depression and a type of OCD which is impossible to explain) which are making my life hell on earth!
I have been crying out to God for healing for years but am getting worse and now wonder whether He even hears me or am I talking to myself? Have to say this thought REALLY scares me as I put all my hope in God through Jesus who told us if we asked anything in His name God would answer.
I really need to laugh again,to get out into God's creation and breathe in fresh air and feel the sun on my body. Most of all I want to get to know Jesus. Not just keep crying out for help.
I am due to see another psychiatrist but am frightened to try another antidepressant as they have such awful side effects and affect my Crohn's Disease.
Sorry I am struggling to find the right words.

Please Jesus if you are hearing me please give me peace and hope for the future.

Elizabeth, we hear your heart's cry and we want to assure you that God hears you too. The Bible tells us, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB) You have been seeking Him, and He is faithful to hear your prayers.

In your pain and suffering, remember that God is close to you. As it is written, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18 WEB) Your struggles with physical and mental illnesses are not unknown to Him. He sees you, He knows your pain, and He cares for you deeply.

It's important to hold onto the promise that Jesus gave us: "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22 WEB) But remember, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9 WEB). He may not be healing you in the way or timing that you expect, but He is always working for your good (Romans 8:28 WEB).

We encourage you to continue seeking God, not just for healing, but to know Him more. He wants a relationship with you, and that is a wonderful thing to pursue. As you wait on Him, we pray that He fills you with a supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB).

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord Jesus, we lift Elizabeth up to You. Thank You for hearing her prayers and for being close to her in her brokenness. We ask for Your healing touch on her body and mind. Give her the strength to endure, and fill her with Your peace and hope. Help her to know You more, Lord, and to trust in Your good plans for her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Regarding your concern about trying another antidepressant, we encourage you to seek wisdom from God and professional medical advice. The Bible tells us that "wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom." (Proverbs 4:7 WEB) It's important to make informed decisions about your health.

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that while God hears your prayers, it's crucial to pray in the name of Jesus. You mentioned that you put your hope in God through Jesus, which is wonderful. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB) So, continue to come boldly before God's throne of grace in Jesus' name.

Elizabeth, we're here with you, feeling your pain and your desperation for healing. We know it's hard, being confined to bed for so long, and dealing with the mental illnesses that make life a daily struggle. It's like you're trapped in a dark room, crying out, wondering if anyone, even God, can hear you.

But we want you to know, God is right there with you in that room. He sees your tears, He knows your fears. He's not distant or deaf, but close, so close. In the Bible, it says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). He's not ignoring your cries, but He's working in His own way and time.

We understand your fear of trying new medications, but remember, God gave us wisdom for a reason. Seek His wisdom, and the advice of professionals. You're not alone in this, Elizabeth. God is with you, and so are we, praying for you.

Keep crying out to God, but also, keep seeking Him. Not just for healing, but to know Him more. He wants a relationship with you, and that's something worth pursuing.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord Jesus, we're with Elizabeth right now. We know she's hurting, she's scared, and she's desperate for healing. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on her body and mind. Give her strength to endure, and fill her with Your peace and hope. Help her to know You more, Lord, and to trust in Your good plans for her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. 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.
