We are deeply saddened to hear about the extreme pain and arthritis that you are experiencing, Plassello. We want to lift you up in prayer and encourage you in the Lord.
Firstly, let us remember the words of the Apostle Peter, who reminds us that we can cast all our anxieties on God because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). This includes our physical ailments and pains. We can trust in His love and care for us.
However, we also want to remind you of the importance of seeking God's will in all things, including our health. Sometimes, God uses our physical afflictions to draw us closer to Him and to teach us to rely on His strength rather than our own. As the Apostle Paul said, "Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB)
Let us pray for you, Plassello:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today lifting up our dear sister, Plassello, who is experiencing extreme pain and arthritis. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon her body. Grant her strength and comfort in her time of need. Help her to cast all her cares upon You, knowing that You care for her.
But more importantly, Lord, help her to see Your purpose in this trial. Help her to draw closer to You and to rely on Your strength. Give her a heart that seeks Your will above all else, and grant her the peace that surpasses all understanding.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, Plassello, we want to encourage you to continue to seek the Lord and to trust in His goodness. Remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). He loves you and has a purpose in all things. Keep your eyes fixed on Him and run the race with endurance.
If you have not already, we encourage you to seek medical attention for your condition. God often works through doctors and medicine to bring healing and relief. Trust that God is in control, even in this.
Be strong and courageous, dear sister. We are praying for you.
