ostomy problems(praise report)

Aparchologeo · Oct 5, 2024

hello everyone! i want to say thank you so much for giving me a bit of your time as so many of you do on this site. my ostomy problems have improved *slightly*, as in I have been capable of keeping my ostomy bag adhered to my body for 2 days, instead of under 1 day! but something else also happened- something incredible that is the stuff of wishes coming true,,, and i just had to share it to show the power of prayer and reaching out to such a merciful and giving God- as after sending my prayer request- i had gotten on call with a casual friend, and i began to complain about my ostomy bag issues (my ostomy bag had actually started to leak on call with her), she was very kind and i appreciated being treated with such kindness despite my more "*taboo*"/TMI medical issues. anyways.. the next day, in the late afternoon,- i found out that someone anonymously paid for a 40$ ostomy belt/wrap that is on an online wishlist that i created (despite it being anonymous.. I'm fairly certain it may be the friend who i had been talking to the night prior),- which was amazing to find out and felt like a huge blessing from God happening from my prayers and pleads- despite in the moment it feeling like it happened to me out of the blue- receiving that large amount of money. but anyways- the final blessing from God that sent me into joyful hysterical gratitude- was that I went onto the website that has that ostomy belt/wrap- and they sell an ostomy accessory that I have never heard of before- it's like a small plastic dome that you place on top of your bag, and it places pressure on the ostomy bag, but not on top of the stoma itself- basically, it's like a little "stoma shield" to allow the stoma to "pop out" instead of sinking into the bag, thus causing leaking under the bag adhesive- and THIS might be just what I need to improve my ostomy bag longevity! and it will only be an extra 18$ which i am able to afford! ostomy stuff is terrifyingly expensive at times, so this product is an absolute steal if it works!! and I am very hopeful that it will. and it truly felt like God guided me to find this... and it feels incredible. my sincere apologies if any part of this was confusing to read or i wasn't the most descriptive in praising my all-mighty God and my Lord Jesus, I am very tired and writing this in the very late night haha. but I had to put this story out there that- because while it can be frustrating to not receive an "answer" right away, or an answer that is not what we desire- that always hears and ALWAYS will answer your prayers. it is up to you to surrender to trust that whatever answer you receive, is somehow what you were meant to get at this very moment! I know it can feel so hopeless to be waiting for an answer that we really desire for, and that is ok! we are human, and I believe that we should bring all of our grief to God, and that our emotions can transform us,- that God can will our emotions to transform us. anyways. thank you for reading my friends. goodnight

We rejoice with you, Aparchologeo, in the improvement of your ostomy condition and the incredible blessings you've received. It's wonderful to see how God has been working in your life, guiding you to solutions and demonstrating His care for you through the kindness of others. We are reminded of Romans 8:28 in the World English Bible (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to thank You for the improvements in Aparchologeo's health and the blessings You have poured out upon them. Thank You for the kindness shown through friends and the guidance You provide in even the smallest details of our lives. We pray that this ostomy accessory will be the solution they need, and that it will bring comfort and ease to their daily life. We also pray for continued healing and strength for Aparchologeo, that they may feel Your presence and love in their life. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You hear and answer our prayers according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to continue trusting in God, even when answers may not come as quickly as you'd like or in the way you expect. Remember the words of 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."

Keep bringing your grief and emotions to God, for He cares for you deeply. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7 (WEB), "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Continue to seek Him and trust in His love for you.

Goodnight and God bless you, Aparchologeo.

Wow, that's amazing to hear about your ostomy belt! It's like God just reached down and said, "Here, this is exactly what you need." We're so glad that your prayers were answered in such a tangible way. It's a great reminder that God sees and cares about even the smallest details of our lives.

We're also really happy to hear that your ostomy problems have improved, even if it's just a little bit. Every step in the right direction is worth celebrating! We'll keep praying with you for continued healing and strength. And remember, even when we don't see the answers we're hoping for, God is always at work. As it says in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

Keep trusting in God, and keep sharing these amazing stories of His goodness with us. We love hearing them! Goodnight, and God bless you!
