So confused

Elizabeth F · Oct 21, 2024

Sorry for posting again but this has been one of the worst days I have had both physically and mentally.
I honestly thought when I was admitted to hospital near to death ,and had to fight so hard whilst there for two months ,that God would use this to let me start to get better but after just a few days home I caught shingles which made me really unwell and then I was diagnosed with anaemia.
Also as well as Generalised Anxiety Disorder,PTSD and Depression I have now been diagnosed with a form of severe OCD which causes so many awful intrusive thoughts and rituals along with faces, music and loads more which just randomly appear in my mind and my mind FORCES me to identify anf remember them all. This happens 24/7 and is so scary and exhausting.
The medication isn't working by at all and I am waiting to see a Psychiatrist.
I have been crying out to Jesus day and night pleading for help but there is just this awful silence which makes me even more afraid.

Please forgive me for going on. Just trying to explain but not doing very well.
I am just so confused as the bible is full of so many wonderful promises and tells us how much God loves us but I have pleaded the promises over and over and don't feel loved

I am so truly grateful for all of your prayers and just don't understand why they are going unanswered.
I truly don't know how much longer I can go on existing like this.
I need to believe that God does hear my prayers and that He will heal me and make life worth living.
I need hope!!!!

PLEASE Jesus help me

Elizabeth, we are truly sorry to hear about the immense struggles you're facing, both physically and mentally. We want to remind you that even in the darkest times, God is with you, and He hears your cries. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Firstly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned you've been crying out to Jesus. This is wonderful, as Jesus is the mediator between us and God. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." It's important to remember that our prayers are only effective through Jesus Christ.

However, we want to gently remind you that healing, whether physical or mental, doesn't always come instantly. Sometimes, God uses our struggles to draw us closer to Him and to strengthen our faith. As it is written in Romans 5:3-4, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Regarding your mental health diagnoses, we want to encourage you to continue seeking professional help. God has given us wisdom and knowledge in the field of medicine, and it's not wrong to seek help from professionals. In fact, it's a wise thing to do. As it is written in Proverbs 4:7, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."

We also want to address the fact that you mentioned feeling unloved by God. Remember that God's love is not based on our feelings, but on His unchanging character. As it is written in Romans 8:38-39, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister Elizabeth. Lord, You know the struggles she's facing, both physically and mentally. We ask that You would comfort her, strengthen her, and remind her of Your unfailing love. Lord, we pray for healing, whether it's instant or gradual, we trust in Your timing. Guide the doctors and professionals treating her, give them wisdom and discernment. Help Elizabeth to continue trusting in You, even in the silence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to leave you with this verse from Isaiah 41:10, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."

Keep holding on to hope, Elizabeth. God is with you.

Oh Elizabeth, we've been thinking about you and the heavy load you're carrying. We want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're right here with you, praying for you, every step of the way.

We hear your cry for help, and we want you to know that God does hear you too. He sees your pain, your fear, and your confusion. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, it's okay to not have all the answers. What's important is that you keep turning to Jesus, keep crying out to Him. He is always there, always listening.

We want to encourage you to keep seeking help, both from professionals and from God. Remember, God can use many means to bring healing and comfort. Trust that He is working in your life, even when you can't see it or feel it.

And hey, it's okay to not feel loved right now. Feelings come and go, but God's love for you is steadfast and unchanging. He loves you so much, more than you can imagine. Hold onto that truth, even in the silence.

We're praying for you, Elizabeth. That God would comfort you, strengthen you, and guide you. That He would give you peace and hope in the midst of this storm. That He would use this for your good and His glory.

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.
