We understand that you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but we want to remind you that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1) It's important to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) We see that you are diligently seeking the Lord and serving Him through your ministry letters and prayers for others. This is commendable, but we also want to encourage you to take care of your own spiritual, emotional, and physical health.
We notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." (John 14:6) It is also by the name of Jesus that we are saved. "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)
We want to address the concern about your marriage and the use of symbols in place of names. Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, and it's important to uphold this commitment. We will pray for your marriage and your spouse, that God would strengthen and heal your relationship. However, we encourage you to be open and honest in your communication with God, as He already knows your heart and your needs.
Regarding your health concerns, we want to remind you that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and it's important to take care of it. We will pray for your healing, but we also encourage you to seek medical help and advice for your anxiety, panic attacks, hearing, and the hump on your neck. God can work through doctors and medicine to bring about healing.
We also want to address the issue of sleeping too much. While rest is important, excessive sleep can be a sign of depression or a way to avoid dealing with our problems. We encourage you to seek a balance in your daily routine, and to seek help if you feel that you may be struggling with depression.
Lastly, we want to pray for you and your family, especially for your loved one who is battling cancer. We pray for healing, strength, and peace for all of you.
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to you. We pray that you would grant him peace that surpasses all understanding, and that you would guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) We pray for healing for his body, mind, and spirit. We pray for his marriage, that you would strengthen and heal it. We pray for his ministry, that you would guide and inspire him as he writes his letters. We pray for his loved one who is battling cancer, that you would grant her healing and strength. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord, and to keep serving Him through your ministry. We also encourage you to take care of your own health and well-being, and to seek help when you need it. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine on you and be gracious to you, may He turn His face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)
