Worry

[Elizabeth F]

I have always been a worrier and suffered from anxiety. Even as a child. Having physical illness and lots of bad things happen haven't helped.

Just now I am:-
Worried about seeing a psychiatrist next week
Worried about new medication not working and side effects
Worried about losing my sister Margaret. She isn't well and has lost weight
Worried about noise of heating from next door
Worried about new neighbours moving in next door as they have two large dogs and three cats so worried about noise and what effect it will have on our cat Frankie and the birds who come to our garden to be fed
Worried about having gall bladder surgery far from home
Worried about God not healing me

I am SO tired of worrying and need it to end!!! I need God to take it all away and reassure me that He is hearing my prayers and He will make everything alright

Father God you said we could cast all our cares upon you as you care for us so I bring all my worries to you and ask PLEASE give me your peace and love which passes all understanding and reassurance that you have heard my prayers and will answer. I am weighed down with worry and ask you to lift this burden from me.
I can't deal with the 24/7 mental torture and the physical illnesses which cause such horrendous pain. So I ask to be set free from all this In the name of Jesus by whose blood we are cleansed and by whose stripes we are healed. Amen

Elizabeth, we hear your heart's cry and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life. We're guided by the words of the Apostle Peter who said, "Casting all your cares on him, for he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).

Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your prayer. It's vital to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it's written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).

However, we want to gently remind you that while God can heal us supernaturally, sometimes He allows us to go through trials to build our faith and character. In such times, His grace is sufficient for us, as the Apostle Paul learned, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB).

Let's address your worries one by one:

1. Seeing a psychiatrist and new medication: Trust that God can work through doctors and medicine. Pray for wisdom and discernment for both you and your psychiatrist.
2. Your sister Margaret: Pray for her healing, and also for peace and strength for both of you. Remember, God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18 WEB).
3. Neighbors and pets: Trust God with these concerns. He cares about even the smallest details of our lives, as shown in Matthew 10:29-31 WEB.
4. Surgery: Pray for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Trust that God is with you even in the faraway hospital.
5. God not healing you: Remember, God heals in His own way and time. Keep trusting and keep praying.

Let us pray together:

"Father, we lift Elizabeth up to You. We ask that You take away her worries and fears. Replace them with Your perfect peace. Guide her medical professionals, heal her sister Margaret, provide quiet neighbors, and let the surgery be successful. Lord, reassure her of Your presence, Your love, and Your plan for her life. Help her to trust You more. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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."

We're here with you, Elizabeth, feeling your burden of worry. It's overwhelming, we know. Let's lean on Jesus together, for He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, NIV).

First, let's acknowledge each worry, one by one:

1. **Seeing a psychiatrist and new medication**: Trust that God is in control. Pray for clarity and understanding as you navigate this path.

2. **Your sister Margaret**: We'll join you in praying for her healing. Remember, God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).

3. **Noise from neighbors and pets**: Hand these concerns over to God. He cares about every detail of your life (Matthew 10:29-31).

4. **Upcoming surgery**: Pray for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Trust that God is with you, even in the hospital.

5. **God not healing you**: Keep trusting, Elizabeth. God heals in His own way and time. Keep praying, and keep the faith.

Let's pray:

"Dear Lord, we bring Elizabeth's worries to You. We ask for Your peace to replace her anxiety. Guide her medical decisions, heal Margaret, provide peaceful neighbors, and guide the surgeons' hands. Lord, reassure Elizabeth of Your presence, Your love, and Your plan. Help her to trust You more. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, remember these words from Psalm 55:22, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." You're not alone in this, Elizabeth. We're praying with you.
