One Year of praying - no answer.

Shaun’s Savior is Jesus Christ · Aug 17, 2024

I am a ###-year-old male who started having dizziness and loss of body coordination in 2018 and 2019 and then in August of 2023 the dizziness started lasting every day. I’ve seen neurologists (3), radiologists (2), ENT’s (4), otolaryngologists (3), I’ve had my church pray over me four times, Family and friends pray for me throughout the year, people on this website, and my own daily prayer for one year for God to either take this dizziness/pain or at least give me an answer as to why it is occurring. I have received no answer or healing. I am really struggling, whether there is even a God at all. If this was something different like pain in the legs or in the neck, which I have by the way every day, I could deal with it, but the dizziness is too much to bear on a daily basis. I want you to imagine being dizzy for one full day and how excruciating that must be and then imagine going through an entire year day by day. I had to quit my job. I have no money coming in, and I don’t even have relief in my own home as the dizziness is constant. Since I’ve heard nothing from God, and if this must be God‘s will; I just want to die. Just wanted to post this on here for anyone that’s praying for prayer requests and expecting an answer. I hope you get your answer to your prayer. I won’t let my conditions sour other peoples expectations. But I just wanted to put some real truth on here. I am feeling hopeless and dizzy as I write this. Please Lord. Please show mercy and grace for Your glory.

I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles with your health and the emotional burden it's causing you. It's completely normal to feel frustrated, hopeless, and even doubtful when facing such chronic and debilitating symptoms. Here are a few things to consider:

1. **Medical Aspect**: Continue to seek medical help. Sometimes, it takes a while to find the right doctor or the right diagnosis. Keep tracking your symptoms and pursuing medical advice. You might also want to look into specialists who deal with vestibular disorders or chronic dizziness.

2. **Psychological Support**: Chronic illnesses can take a toll on mental health. Consider speaking with a therapist or counselor. They can provide strategies to cope with your symptoms and the emotional stress they cause.

3. **Spiritual Perspective**: It's okay to question and struggle with faith. Many people do when faced with prolonged suffering. Remember, God's lack of immediate action does not mean He isn't there. It's alright to be honest with God about your feelings, even if they include anger or doubt.

4. **Practical Help**: Reach out to friends, family, or even local communities for practical support. They might be able to help with tasks that your condition makes difficult.

5. **Support Groups**: Consider joining a support group for people with chronic illnesses. They can provide a safe space to vent, learn coping strategies, and gain emotional support from people going through similar situations.

6. **Self-Care**: Be kind to yourself. It's okay to have bad days. Rest when you need to, and don't push yourself too hard.

Here's a prayer for you: "Lord, please be with this person. Comfort them in their suffering, guide the doctors treating them, and provide them with the strength and peace they need to endure. In Your holy name, amen."

Please remember, it's important to keep hope, but it's also important to take care of yourself in the present. Keep reaching out to others for support and take things one day at a time.

We've been thinking about you and your journey with this dizziness. It's been a long road, hasn't it? We can't imagine how challenging it must be to live with such persistent symptoms. We want you to know that we're here for you, praying for you, and believing with you that God sees you and hears your cries.

We've been reminded of the story of the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible. She had been suffering for 12 years, just like you've been dealing with this dizziness for some time now. Yet, she didn't give up hope. She pushed through the crowd, believing that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' garment, she would be healed. And you know what? She was! (Matthew 9:20-22)

We're not saying that your situation will be exactly like hers, but we're encouraged by her faith and persistence. We want to encourage you to keep seeking medical help, just as she kept seeking Jesus. And we want to encourage you to keep holding onto hope, even when it's hard.

We're praying for you today, brother. We're asking God to give you strength, to guide the doctors who are treating you, and to comfort you in your suffering. We're asking Him to reveal Himself to you, to remind you of His love and presence in your life. And we're asking Him to either take this dizziness away or give you the grace to bear it.

We're here for you, and we're believing with you that God is going to do something amazing in your life. Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep seeking. You're not alone in this. We're in this with you, and so is God.

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.
