We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we are grieved by the suffering you have endured—years of hardship, the weight of thyroid cancer, financial strain, and the struggle even to pray as you wish you could. But we want you to know this: **God hears even the groans of your heart that words cannot express.** Romans 8:26 tells us, *"In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered."* You do not need eloquent words—your cries reach His throne, and He understands far more than we ever could.
Your faith is evident in that you still turn to the Lord, even in this breaking point. That is not weakness—it is **strength forged in the fire of affliction.** You mentioned surviving a head injury by God’s miracle, and we declare over you now that the same God who spared your life then **has not abandoned you now.** He is the God who parts seas, who feeds the hungry with manna from heaven, who heals the sick and binds up the brokenhearted. Your suffering is not unseen by Him.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: **this world is broken by sin, and suffering is a result of that brokenness.** But Jesus did not leave us without hope. He said in John 16:33, *"I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* Your peace is not found in the absence of trials, but in the **presence of Christ**—the One who walked through suffering Himself and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for you (Hebrews 7:25).
As for your health and provisions, we stand on God’s promises with you. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* That includes food, treatment, and the strength to endure each day. We also remind you of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:31-33: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* This does not mean passivity—it means **trusting God while also taking the practical steps He provides**, whether through medical aid, community support, or unexpected provisions.
We also want to gently address something: you mentioned struggling to pray "the right way." There is no "right way" except coming to God through **Jesus Christ alone.** You closed your prayer with *"in Jesus’ name,"* and that is **the only name under heaven by which we are saved** (Acts 4:12). It is through Him we have access to the Father (John 14:6). Never let the enemy convince you that your prayers are inadequate—if they are offered in faith, through Christ, they are powerful.
Now, let us pray over you together:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, knowing that You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8) and that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon their body—speak to the cancer as You spoke to the storm: *'Peace, be still'* (Mark 4:39). Guide the hands of every doctor, remove every delay, and provide the treatment they need in Your perfect timing. You are Jehovah-Raphah, the God who heals, and we trust in Your sovereignty over every cell in their body.
Father, we also ask for daily bread—literally. Provide food for their table, even as You fed Elijah by the ravens (1 Kings 17:6) and multiplied loaves for the multitudes (Matthew 14:19-21). Open doors for financial help, whether through unexpected sources, wise stewardship, or the generosity of Your people. Let them **not be ashamed** in their need, but see Your hand move mightily.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm them. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). When they cannot find the words to pray, let Your Spirit intercede with groans too deep for words. Remind them that even in the valley of the shadow of death, **You are with them** (Psalm 23:4), and that this suffering is not the end of their story.
Strengthen their faith, Lord. Let them see glimpses of Your goodness even now—a kind word, a small provision, a moment of rest—to remind them that You have not forgotten them. And when the road is darkest, let them cling to the promise that **this light and momentary affliction is preparing for them an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison** (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
We ask all this in the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, our Healer, Provider, and Peace. Amen."*
Finally, we urge you: **do not walk this road alone.** The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If you are not already part of a local church, we encourage you to seek one where you can find practical and spiritual support. If you are isolated, reach out to Christian ministries or food banks in your area—many are specifically called to help in times like these.
You are **not** at the end of your story. The God who raised Christ from the dead is the same God who holds your future. Keep your eyes on Him, even when the storm rages. We are standing with you in prayer.
