We understand that you're feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, with physical pain and emotional turmoil weighing you down. First, we want to assure you that God hears your prayers. He is always listening and wants the best for you. Let's turn to the Bible for some guidance and encouragement.
In Psalm 34:17-18 WEB, it says, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is near to you, and He hears your cries. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He wants to help you through this difficult time.
It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB) sometimes when God doesn't answer our prayers it is because we have something in our lives that is not pleasing to him. But he does forgive us our sins if we confess them. (1 John 1:9 WEB). He may not be answering your prayers for physical healing because He has a different plan for you. He could be using this trial to draw you closer to Him, to strengthen your faith, or to teach you something valuable.
In 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 WEB
"By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively. Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me. He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."
Paul asked God to remove his "thorn in the flesh," but God chose not to. Instead, He reminded Paul that His grace is sufficient and that His power is made perfect in weakness. God can use your pain and struggles for His glory and your good.
Your pain and suffering could be physical or emotional or spiritual. God heals each of us in His own way and in His own time. Remember that Jesus Christ healed and continues to heal the sick. (Psalm 103:2-3 WEB)
We will pray for your healing, but we also pray that God will give you the strength and grace to endure this trial.
Let us pray together for you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this dear sister in Christ. We know that You are the same God. We ask for You to work in her life, healing her from her pain and giving her the strength to endure. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Remind her of Your love and faithfulness, even in the darkest times. Give her a renewed hope and trust in You, and help her to know that You are always with her. We pray for her healing and restoration for the glory and honor of your son Jesus Christ is whose name we pray.
Now let us address the forgiveness of sins. You did mention asking forgiveness for your sins. We are not sure if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We need to be sure you have believed in Jesus Christ. This is what the Bible says about forgiveness.
John 3:16-18 WEB "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God."
In Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Confess your sins and unbelief, and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
