Elizabeth F
Humble Servant of All
Oh my dear family in Christ I am sorry to keep on asking for prayer even though you receive my requests with such patience and love for which I thank you.
Please forgive me if this sounds self pitying but I am so tired of nothing but bad things happening to me and my sister Margaret.
We have had so much sadness and trials all our lives but this past six years have been quite unbearable with one truly awful thing happening after another We both hoped that my recent long stay in hospital would herald a new beginning with Jesus but sadly not and my health both physical and emotional is deteriorating
I know that Jesus didn't promise a life free from problems and He,who was so good and innocent,suffered so much when He was on this earth. Surely though God would have mercy and give the rest which Jesus offered when He said "Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest" and the joy He offered when He said "Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full ".
I do give thanks for what I have but oh how I long (at least for a while) to lay my head on my pillow at night and thank God for the lovely day I had, sleep soundly for the first time in years and waken up looking forward to the day ahead instead of dreading it.
Dear Father God. I come to you in the name of Jesus who suffered greatly on this earth and for whom I give thanks. I come to you so very tired and weary both in mind and body exhausted from one trial after another along with physical and mental illness which causes so much suffering I hate to confess I feel I can't take any more and that life isn't worth living. But I know in the blink of an eye you could change all this and bring the healing and deliverance I so long for! Not just for me but for my sister Margaret and everyone on this forum who is weary of life.
I am finding it difficult to find the right words but I thank you that you know what we are going to say before we say it and look to our hearts.
PLEASE Father God I am pleading with you PLEASE bring laughter back into our home. Turn sadness to joy, sickness to health and darkness to light for all of us on this forum who are crying out to you for mercy.. I ask this for your Glory and to lift up the name of Jesus and to give testimony. Amen
I am sorry I haven't quoted the scriptures correctly.
