Please pray for me about dental problems that I am having. I don't have money to go to the dentist right now and, unfortunately, some bad eating habits now seem to have caused a cavity. Please also pray that I will overcome some hurdles I am experiencing on the journey out of being bound to unforgiveness that God is leading me on. I'm actually getting a bit frustrated with myself and certain situations related to these hurdles. I'm a bit sad because I feel like I want to get back to that place that I was at at the very start of this journey where things were so good but things happened that seemed to drag me backward a bit. Thank you.
Dental problems & forgiveness

We lift you up before our Heavenly Father, knowing that He cares deeply about every detail of your life—your physical needs, your struggles with unforgiveness, and the frustrations weighing on your heart. First, we want to gently remind you that there is no other name under heaven by which we can approach God except through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is only by His precious name that we find grace, healing, and freedom. If you have not yet placed your full trust in Him, we urge you to do so, for "there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Your dental struggles are not unseen by God. He knows your financial limitations and the pain you are enduring. We are reminded of the words in Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus teaches us not to be anxious about our needs, for our Heavenly Father knows what we require. He is the Great Physician, and we pray for His healing touch upon your teeth and gums. May He provide the resources, wisdom, and even divine connections for you to receive the dental care you need. We also pray that He gives you the discipline to steward your health well, breaking any unhealthy habits that have contributed to this situation. "Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB).
As for the unforgiveness that still lingers in your heart, we understand how deeply painful and frustrating this journey can be. Unforgiveness is like a chain that binds us, and the enemy loves to use it to keep us from the freedom Christ died to give us. The Scripture warns us, "Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil" (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). Holding onto bitterness only harms you—it does not hurt the one who wronged you. Jesus commands us to forgive, not because the other person deserves it, but because *we* need the freedom it brings. Remember how much Christ has forgiven you: "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do" (Colossians 3:13, WEB).
It is understandable that you feel discouraged, as if you’ve taken steps backward. But take heart, beloved—this is not a sign of failure. Sanctification is a lifelong journey, and the Lord is faithful to complete the work He began in you (Philippians 1:6, WEB). When you feel frustrated with yourself, remember that "he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Do not let the enemy condemn you. Instead, confess your struggles to the Lord, ask for His strength, and choose forgiveness *again*, even if it feels impossible. Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is an act of obedience and trust in God’s justice and sovereignty.
We pray now for you, our sibling in Christ:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with both physical pain and the weight of unforgiveness. Lord, You see their dental suffering, and we ask for Your healing touch. Provide for their needs, Lord—whether through unexpected resources, skilled hands to help, or even supernatural healing. Give them wisdom to care for their body as Your temple and the discipline to break habits that harm them.
Father, we also bring before You the heavy burden of unforgiveness. You know the wounds that still fester in their heart, the frustrations and setbacks they face. Lord, remind them of the cross, where You forgave *us* while we were still sinners. Fill them with Your love and strength to release every ounce of bitterness, resentment, and pain. Break the chains of unforgiveness, Lord, and set them free to walk in the joy and peace You intend for them.
When they feel discouraged, remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Restore to them the sweetness of that early place in their journey with You, but even more, deepen their trust in You through this trial. Let them know that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that they are stuck or failing. You, Lord, are their victory, and we declare freedom and healing over them in Jesus’ mighty name. Strengthen them, encourage them, and let them feel Your presence tangibly. May they rise up from this season with a testimony of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
Beloved, keep pressing on. The Lord is with you, and He will not let you go. When you feel weak, His strength is perfected in you (2 Corinthians 12:9). Stay in His Word, surround yourself with believers who can encourage you, and remember: forgiveness is a choice you make daily, and God will honor that choice with His peace. You are not alone in this. We are standing with you in prayer!

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your dental struggles and heart’s burdens before the Lord these past few days. It has been our privilege to stand with you in prayer, asking God to provide both healing for your teeth and the strength to walk in forgiveness—especially when the path feels steep and the progress slow. We know how deeply frustrating it can be when old habits resurface or when the weight of unforgiveness feels heavier than the freedom Christ has already won for you. And yet, we serve a God who is not only the Great Physician of our bodies but the tender Healer of our hearts, who meets us right where we are—even in the sadness and the setbacks.
If the Lord has already begun to answer, whether through unexpected provision for your dental needs, a fresh measure of grace to release bitterness, or even just a glimmer of that early joy you long to return to, we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs today. But if this season still feels like a waiting room—if the pain in your mouth or the ache in your spirit lingers—please don’t hesitate to post your request again. We are here to keep interceding, to keep believing with you that God is at work, even when we can’t see it yet.
Remember, this journey isn’t about how quickly you “arrive” but about how faithfully you let Him lead you, step by step. He who began this good work in you *will* carry it on to completion—including the restoration of your smile and your soul. Keep seeking Him, dear sibling. We’re right here with you, trusting that His mercy is new every morning and His power is made perfect in our weakness.
May you sense His peace guarding your heart and mind today, and may His provision meet you in ways that leave no room for doubt—He *hears* you. We’re praying in Jesus’ name.
