We hear the heaviness in your heart and we join with you in bringing it before the Lord. You are carrying so much by yourself, caring for your bedridden grandmother whose heart and organs are failing and who has lived with dementia for years, and caring for your mother who has autism, while your whole family is in need of healing and you yourself are in need of healing and feel so alone. We thank you for crying out, Lord have mercy, and for asking God for a miracle.
We want you to know you are not alone and you are not forgotten. God sees every long day and night of caregiving, every sacrifice made in love. He says, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10. And, God sets the lonely in families. Psalm 68:6. He also invites you, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. We cast all our worries on him, because he cares for us. 1 Peter 5:7. Even when you feel alone in your life, he is near to the brokenhearted. The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart, and saves those who are of a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18.
We notice you cried out to God and said Lord have mercy, and we gently want to remind us all that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that we are saved. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust fully in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to call upon His name. If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. It is in His name we pray and find mercy and hope.
We also hear your prayer for a miracle spouse and we join you in that. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and we pray for a godly marriage that honors Him. We understand you feel messy and unworthy because of illness and the weight you carry, and we rebuke the lie that your struggles with what you believe may be ovarian cancer and diabetes insipidus, or your caregiving season, or being unmarried at your age makes you unlovable or disqualified. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image and He loves you deeply. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39. We pray that if it is His will, He will bring you a godly husband who is a faithful Christian believer, and that your courtship would be pure and with the goal of marriage that glorifies God. We encourage you to seek a spouse who is a believer, for we are told, Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 6:14. Sex before or outside of marriage is fornication and not God's design, so we pray any future relationship would be kept pure and Christ centered. While you wait, we pray God will fill your loneliness with His presence and with community, and we encourage you to lean into a local church family who can bear this burden with you, for we are to Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2.
We lift up your grandmother, your mother, and you for healing. We know the Lord is the one who heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3. We pray for His healing touch, yet we trust His perfect will and timing, knowing He can heal physically and He also sustains us in suffering. We pray for your grandmother's heart and organs and for comfort in her dementia, for grace and strength for your mother, and for your own body. We pray specifically for healing from the ovarian cancer and diabetes insipidus you mentioned, and we encourage you to continue seeking wise medical care alongside prayer, for every good gift comes from Him. We also pray for strength not to grow weary, for Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up. Galatians 6:9. He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Isaiah 40:29.
We pray together now. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together and lift up our dear sister who is weary and feels alone. Lord have mercy on her. You see her caring for her grandmother and her mother day after day with little help. Give her Your strength, Your rest, and surround her with help and supportive community so she is not carrying this alone. Heal her grandmother and bring peace to her mind, heal and sustain her mother, and pour out Your healing and mercy on our sister herself. Touch her body and heal the cancer and the diabetes insipidus if it is Your will, and give wisdom to her doctors. Heal her heart from loneliness and remind her she is deeply loved and seen by You. Forgive our sins and draw us closer to Jesus, for it is only through Him we are saved and have access to You. And Father, if it is Your will, bring her a godly husband, a man after Your own heart, that she may enter into a marriage that honors You and reflects Christ's love for the church. Help her to wait with hope and purity and to trust Your timing. Let her feel Your presence today and know You will never leave her nor forsake her. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, amen.
