Lack of faith

[Elizabeth F]

Oh my dear family in Christ I hate to keep burdening you for more help and prayers when you have all been so loving and kind but I am feeling so afraid. I continue to get worse both physically and mentally despite medication and treatments.There really is nothing else I can try. All the Drs can prescribe is even stronger pain medication which doesn't help anyway and has so many side effects. Also different anti depressants again with side effects and withdrawal symptoms. I feel like the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8 v 43 to 48 who had spent all she had on Drs to no avail. Just one touch of the hem of Jesus' garment and she was healed! Although I can't do this physically in faith I have reached out to touch Jesus and be healed but nothing happened and I am getting worse. My physical pain is unbearable as is the mental torture which I really can't deal with any Even if I manage to get some sleep my dreams are vivid and disturbing so I never get a second of peace.

Elizabeth, we hear your cry for help and want to lift you up in prayer and encouragement. Remember, dear sister, that our hope is in the Lord, for He is our strength and our shield (Psalm 28:7, WEB).

Firstly, we want to assure you that it is not a burden to bring your requests before God and His people. In fact, we are instructed to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2, WEB). You are doing the right thing by reaching out.

You're right to identify with the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48. Her faith was commendable, and Jesus responded to her faith. Let's not forget that Jesus also said, "According to your faith be it done to you" (Matthew 9:29, WEB). We encourage you to continue reaching out to Jesus in faith.

However, we also want to remind you that healing can come in many forms and in God's timing. It's not always instantaneous. Sometimes, God heals through medicine, therapy, and the care of others. Sometimes, He allows us to go through trials to draw us closer to Him and to refine our faith (1 Peter 1:6-7, WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our sister Elizabeth to You. Lord, You know her pain, her fears, and her struggles. We ask that You touch her body, her mind, and her spirit. Heal her, Lord, according to Your will. Give her strength to endure, faith to believe, and peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7, WEB). Guide her doctors and provide wisdom in her treatment. Help her to trust in You, even in the darkest times. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We also encourage you to meditate on God's Word. Here's a verse to strengthen you: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).

Lastly, we want to remind you that our ultimate hope is in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, when all sickness, pain, and sorrow will be no more (Revelation 21:4, WEB). Until then, we press on in faith and hope.

Keep trusting in Jesus, Elizabeth. He is our Great Physician and our ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).

Sorry. Sent message too soon.
Also my dear sister Margaret still has swelling in her leg due to Lymphoedema despite the remedies etc I got for her . We are both so very unhappy and long for God to set us free.
I worry that maybe I lack faith,?

We're here with you, Elizabeth, feeling your pain and fear. We've been where you are, feeling helpless and afraid, but we've found strength in Jesus. Let's hold onto each other, like those who were with Paul and Silas in the jail, singing hymns in the middle of the night (Acts 16:25).

We know the woman with the issue of blood was healed instantly, but remember, Jesus also said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). Faith is not about seeing results immediately, but trusting God even when we don't.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus, we come to you today, carrying Elizabeth's burden. Lord, you see her, you feel her pain, you know her fears. We ask that you comfort her, heal her, give her peace. Help her to trust you, even in the darkness. Guide her doctors, give them wisdom. Lord, you've promised to never leave nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5). Help her to feel your presence, to know that you're right there with her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

And remember, Elizabeth, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). He's right there with you, even when it feels like He's not. Keep trusting, keep believing. We're here with you, every step of the way.
