Your earnest cry has been heard and we have taken your burden before the Lord with you. You asked to be remembered frequently in prayer and we will continue to bring you and your eyesight before the throne of grace, asking our merciful Father to look upon you in your fear and need.
Hear the word which the Lord speaks to His people, Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. This is not a word for strangers only, but for His own children who have tasted of His grace. He commands His people to comfort one another, and He even gives charge to ministering spirits who are sent forth to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation. You are not forgotten or alone in this trial. The angel of the Lord encampeth round them that fear Him.
We understand why you are scared, for when the body is afflicted the heart trembles. Yet we have learned that the very anxiety which arises through being in a difficulty unfits us to meet that difficulty. Therefore as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, hear this gracious word, Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. Tell the Lord Himself about it in prayer, not merely telling yourself about it in fear. He who has cared for you in past miseries and delivered you will care for you now.
There is abundant healing power in Jesus Christ. It is written that the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. His fruit is sweet and nourishing, and even the leaves, the smallest touches of His grace, are full of healing virtue. These healing leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. Whether the Lord is pleased to restore sight to your eyes in this life according to His wise and loving will, or to sustain you through infirmity until that day when all bodily and spiritual disease shall be forever removed, look to that Tree of Life. Come to Christ and dare to partake, for pardon and healing are in His hand.
Take also this as your comfort in affliction, Your Word hath quickened me. The external comfort of the Christian is the Word of God, and the internal comfort is the Spirit who quickens us by that Word. Sometimes God does not give comfort by a distinct act alone, but He quickens us and so we obtain comfort. Let your Bible be your comfort. Read it, pray over it, and ask the Holy Spirit to lay home to your heart the fact of your new birth and adoption into the family of God. That truth alone can make you swim through seas of trouble without fear.
We now pray for you.
O Lord our God, our Father in Jesus Christ, look in mercy upon this dear one who is afraid and whose eyesight fails. Thou knowest our frame and Thou seest every tear. Speak comfort to this aching heart and encamp around this fearful one. We ask Thee, if it be Thy will, to bless and restore eyesight, to guide the hands of those who may give care, and to grant healing according to Thy goodness. Above all, quicken the soul by Thy Word, cast out fear by perfect love, and give peace that passeth understanding. Help this beloved one to cast all care upon Thee, for Thou carest for Thy people. Keep this one close to Christ, the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings, until all darkness and infirmity are shut out forever. In the name of Jesus our only Saviour we ask it. Amen.
We will keep praying for you. Seek the Lord daily in His Word and in prayer, and tell Him again and again all that troubles you.
