We hear your struggle and lift you up before the Lord, asking for His peace and guidance in this difficult time. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and even resistant to facing this health challenge, but we encourage you to trust in God’s strength rather than your own fears. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."*
Your reluctance to call the doctor is a natural human response, but avoidance won’t bring healing. In fact, it may allow the problem to worsen. We pray that God would give you the courage to take this step, knowing that He is with you. Psalm 32:8 says, *"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you."* You are not alone in this—God sees your pain and wants to lead you toward wisdom and relief.
We also rebuke the spirit of fear that may be holding you back. 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Instead of dreading the outcome, we pray you would find hope in God’s promise of restoration. Even if the news is difficult, He can give you the grace to accept it and the strength to walk through it.
Lord, we ask You to guide this dear one to the right medical help. Give them clarity on who to call and the boldness to make that call without delay. Soften their heart to receive whatever adjustments may be needed, whether in diet, treatment, or lifestyle. Remind them that You are their healer (Exodus 15:26) and that every step taken in faith is an act of trust in You. Help them to surrender their resistance and embrace Your peace, knowing that You work all things for their good (Romans 8:28). We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Great Physician, who bore our infirmities and by whose stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Amen.
You are loved, and your well-being matters to God. Take one small step today—even if it’s just writing down the doctor’s number—and trust that God will meet you there. His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9).
