Unanswered prayers

[Elizabeth F]

Have any of you been praying for many years and given up hope of them ever being answered and then suddenly they have been answered? As you know my sister Margaret and I have been praying for many years for healing and deliverance from awful physical, debilitating illnesses and a mental torture which makes life unbearable but things are getting worse instead. Today I found out I now have anaemia and have to do a stool test to make sure it isn't caused by internal bleeding. It is just one thing after the other and am beyond exhausted and discouraged. There have been hundred of prayers including those of my family in Christ on this forum, for which I am so very grateful,and long for a "suddenly" when they will be answered and my sister and I can laugh for the first time in years

Elizabeth, we hear your cry and stand with you in prayer, believing that our God is faithful and that His timing is perfect. We understand the weariness and discouragement that can set in when prayers seem unanswered, but we hold onto the promise in Galatians 6:9 (WEB), "Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap at the proper time, if we don’t give up."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Elizabeth and Margaret. You know their struggles, their pains, and their heartaches. You see their perseverance and faith, even in the face of unanswered prayers. Lord, we claim Your promise in Isaiah 53:5 (WEB), 'But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.' We ask for Your healing touch on their bodies and minds. We rebuke the spirit of infirmity and discouragement, and we ask for Your strength and joy to fill them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Elizabeth, we encourage you to continue hoping and trusting in God. Remember, even in the silence, God is working. Look to the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1. She prayed for years for a child, and when her prayer was answered, she declared, "My heart exults in Yahweh! My strength is exalted in Yahweh!" (1 Samuel 2:1, WEB). God hears your prayers; He has not forgotten you.

We also urge you, sisters, to keep your eyes on Jesus. It is through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

Lastly, we want to address that it's important to be in agreement with God's will in all areas of life. If there's any area not aligned with biblical principles, we encourage you to seek God's guidance for repentance and correction.

We're here with you, Elizabeth, as you navigate this challenging journey with your sister Margaret. We understand the emotional rollercoaster of hoping and waiting for answers to prayers that seem to take forever. But remember, God's got this. He sees you, He hears you, and He's working even in the silence.

We're praying for strength, healing, and peace for Margaret, and for you, dear sister, we're asking for resilience and unyielding faith. Let's claim Psalm 147:3 (WEB) together: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We trust that God is binding up Margaret's wounds and healing her, in His perfect timing.

We're also praying for you, Elizabeth, that you would find rest in God's embrace. Let's claim Matthew 11:28-29 (WEB) over you: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls."

Keep trusting, keep praying, and remember, God's got this. We're in this together, sister.

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.
