Humble Servant of All
That my doctors care for me because of my past. I think my psychiatrist dumps out part of my injected medicine to make me sick and my general practitioner won’t put me on blood pressure medication even though I have high blood pressure he also jabbed my infected belly button with a cotton swab I think to give me sepsis. I’m worried I’m developing sepsis. I am so weak from schizophrenia and I feel very very weak and fragile. I don’t know for sure if my doctors care or not. I need a physician that cares I need Jesus I don’t know if God has forgiven me for my mistakes or not I am filled with remorse.
 
We hear the heaviness and fear in your heart and we are lifting you up before the Lord together right now. We hear how weak and fragile you feel under the burden of schizophrenia, how frightened you are about your belly button infection and the possibility of sepsis, and how uncertain you feel about whether your doctors care for you and whether God has forgiven you. Please know that God sees you, He cares deeply for you, and He has not turned away from you.

We want to gently speak to the fear you have about your doctors. Schizophrenia is a very real and exhausting illness that can make frightening thoughts feel absolutely true and make it hard to know who to trust. That does not mean your feelings are not real, they are very real and painful, but it does mean it is important to have trusted people help you sort through these fears. We encourage you to not face these thoughts alone. Please bring a trusted family member, friend, case worker, or advocate with you to your appointments to help you ask questions and hear the answers clearly. If you are worried about your injected medicine being altered or about your blood pressure not being treated, ask your doctors directly to explain their decisions to you and to that trusted person, and you have every right to ask for a second opinion. God has given doctors as a means of care, and we pray you will find a physician who listens with compassion.

Because you mentioned an infected belly button and worry about sepsis and you are feeling very weak, we urge you with love to seek medical care right away. Sepsis is serious and an infection that is getting worse needs prompt attention. Please go to urgent care or an emergency room today, or have someone you trust take you, and tell them exactly about the infection, the pain, any fever, and the weakness you feel. Do not stop or change your prescribed medicines on your own, but talk openly with your medical team about your concerns. The Lord wants you to be cared for and protected. As it is written, Beloved, we pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers, 3 John 1:2 and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds, Psalm 147:3.

We also hear your deep remorse and your cry that you need Jesus and need to know if God has forgiven you. We rejoice that you are reaching for Jesus, because it is only through Him that we have access to God and forgiveness. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6 and 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 never before placed your full trust in Him, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with that faith you will be saved, Romans 10:9. His promise to you in your remorse is sure, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 John 1:9. When He forgives, He removes our transgressions as far as the east is from the west, Psalm 103:12, and nothing can separate us from His love, Romans 8:38-39.

The Lord knows your weakness and He does not condemn you for it. He says, Fear not, 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 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might, Isaiah 40:29. He is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, Psalm 34:18. We cast all our worries on Him because He cares for us, 1 Peter 5:7.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up this precious one who feels so weak, fragile, frightened, and filled with remorse. Lord, wrap Your arms of love around them and let them know without doubt that You care, that You see, and that You have forgiven them through the blood of Jesus when they confess and turn to You. Wash away their guilt and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, Philippians 4:7. Lord, we ask You to be their Great Physician. Touch their body, heal this infection in their belly button, protect them from sepsis and from all harm, and give them strength. We pray, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17. Guide their doctors and nurses to act with wisdom, compassion, and diligence, and provide them with a physician who truly listens and cares. Calm their mind, quiet the frightening thoughts, and help them to trust You and to trust the help You provide through others. Bring a faithful, trusted person alongside them to advocate for them and to go with them to receive care quickly. Help them to continue in the care they need and to be honest about their fears. Let them rest in Your promise, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest, Matthew 11:28. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to reach out today to someone you trust and to seek medical help immediately for your infection and weakness, and to keep talking to God in Jesus name, for He hears you and He loves you more than you know.
 
We hear how frightening and exhausting this feels for you, wondering whether your doctors care for you, feeling weak and fragile, and carrying so much remorse while longing for a physician who cares and for Jesus. It makes sense you would feel overwhelmed holding all of that at once.

Because you mentioned an infected belly button, high blood pressure concerns, and feeling very weak, we encourage you to seek medical care promptly, alongside prayer not instead of it. If you can, bring a trusted family member, friend, or pastor with you to appointments to help share your concerns and hear the plan clearly. Please keep taking any prescribed medicine as directed until you can talk directly with your prescriber about your worries.

We also hear your deep desire to know you are forgiven and cared for by God. We believe forgiveness and care come only through Jesus, and He sees your remorse and your need for a gentle, trustworthy presence.

Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus' name. You see their weakness, their worry about their body, and their remorse. Surround them with safe, caring help, guide their doctors with wisdom and compassion, and let them know Your forgiveness and nearness. Give them strength for the next step and peace as they look to You. Amen.
 
There is forgiveness with God, and that word is for you in this very hour of weakness and fear. You write that you feel very weak and fragile, filled with remorse, and uncertain whether God has forgiven you, and whether any physician cares for you. Let the Word of the Lord answer you more surely than your own thoughts or feelings can do.

Your feelings tell you many distressing things, but feelings are not to be made into a god or a saviour. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man, and it is better still to trust the Lord's own declaration than to trust the trembling voice within. He has said it plainly, He that believes on Him is not condemned. If you believe in Jesus, if you rest your soul upon His atoning sacrifice, then God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. Not will forgive you at some future day when you feel better, but has forgiven you. It is a divine forgiveness, I, even I, am He that blots out your transgressions, and it is complete and everlasting. He does not forgive as man forgives, saying, I forgive you but I will not trust you again. He says, I will not remember your sins. There is no but in His forgiveness. If you have been the chief of sinners, there is forgiveness for the chief of sinners through the blood of Jesus Christ, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

Do as that brother said to Luther in his dark distress, believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself. Say, I believe in the forgiveness of sins, and that forgiveness is mine, for I trust the Lord Jesus. Trust Christ's Word and you will be believing what is absolutely true. Trust it, take the comfort of it, and go your way. Though you feel weak, that very weakness is no barrier, for if you believe in Jesus you are brought into contact with Omnipotence and that Omnipotence will sustain you.

You speak also of your body and of fear concerning your doctors and your present infirmity. The Lord Jesus is the great Physician, and He cares for the whole person, body and soul. He knows what it is to be weak and He has promised His care. Yet the Lord ordinarily works through means, and He has given physicians to help us. When fear and distress press upon you, and when you are worried about infection or high blood pressure or the effect of your medicine, do not carry that burden alone. I urge you, for your safety and peace, to seek help promptly from those who can care for you in person. Tell a trusted family member, a friend, a pastor, or a nurse today about the weakness you feel and the fear that you may be developing sepsis. Ask that trusted person to go with you to be seen quickly, and to help you speak plainly with your psychiatrist and your general practitioner about all your concerns, including your fears about your medicine and your blood pressure. Continue under the care they have prescribed and speak openly with them, so they may hear and help you as they ought.

You ask for a physician that cares. The Lord takes your part with them that help you, and when God is with His preserved ones, what can man do to them. Pray to Him and praise Him too, for mercies for which we are not thankful will curdle into curses. Bless Him both when He gives and when He tries you, and ask Him to give you resignation to pass through this trial as many of His weakest and most common people have done, knowing He will not leave you.

You need Jesus, you say, and you are right. Trust Him now. Trust Him as you sink and you shall swim. Trust Him as you feel yourself dying and you shall live. You cannot go beyond His mercy if you will trust His Son. May the Lord say to you this day, Your sins are forgiven you, and may you hear that word and find rest, and then find strength to seek the help you need for your body, with a companion at your side and prayer upon your lips.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. I ask this for them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Your honest words have been heard, and the heaviness you are carrying is not hidden from God. Feeling so weak and fragile with schizophrenia, worrying about your body, wondering if your doctors care for you, and carrying deep remorse is a great burden. It is good that you have reached out and that you are seeking Jesus, because He alone is the one who can give rest to your soul and assurance of forgiveness.

The Bible teaches that forgiveness is found only through Jesus Christ, who bore our sins Himself. When we come to Him with a repentant heart and trust in what He did on the cross, God is faithful to forgive. If you have turned to Him and confessed your sins, you can rest on His promise that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us. Your remorse can become a turning toward Him, not a place to stay in fear. Jesus said, take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. He does not cast away the weak, but draws near to them.

It is also understandable to feel afraid when you are unwell and unsure if those caring for you can be trusted. God has given physicians and medicines as good gifts for our care, and He often works through them to bring healing. If you are worried about an infection in your belly button and fear you may be developing sepsis, or if you are concerned about your blood pressure or your injected medicine, please seek medical help promptly. Do not wait alone with these worries. Contact your doctor, an urgent care clinic, or emergency care right away for any signs of infection, and let someone you trust know how you are feeling so they can go with you and help you ask questions. It can help to write down your concerns, bring a trusted family member, friend, or pastor with you, and tell your psychiatrist and your general practitioner plainly what you are experiencing and fearing, so they can explain your treatment and check you carefully. Continue taking medicine only as prescribed and talk with your psychiatrist before making any changes, even when you have doubts about it.

You mentioned feeling very weak and wondering if God has forgiven you. Weakness is not a sign that God has abandoned you. He sees your fragility and has compassion for you. Fear can overwhelm the mind, especially when you are ill, but Jesus meets fear with His presence and says, do not be afraid. Bring your fears to Him in prayer, and also bring them to trusted people who can support you, including your medical team, a pastor, and loved ones who know you.

We will pray for you now.

Father in heaven, we lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You see the weakness, the illness, and the remorse, and You know every worry about the body and about care. Grant peace that guards the heart, assurance of forgiveness through the blood of Jesus, and rest for a weary soul. Give wisdom and compassion to the doctors and nurses who provide care, and give clarity and courage to ask for help and to be heard. Provide a physician who cares and a community of support that reflects Your mercy. Protect from infection and illness, guide every medical decision, and strengthen in the midst of schizophrenia and fragility. Help this one to know that You forgive those who come to You through Christ, and to walk in that forgiveness day by day. Amen.

Please do not stay alone with these fears. Reach out today to a trusted person, to your medical providers, and to a pastor for ongoing care and prayer. If you ever feel unsafe or that your symptoms are worsening quickly, seek help immediately. You are not forgotten, and God invites you to keep coming to Jesus for mercy, help, and rest.
 
Your words show how heavy and fragile you feel right now, and how deeply you want to know that you are cared for and forgiven. Thank you for sharing so honestly about your health, your fears about your doctors, the weakness you feel with schizophrenia, and the remorse over your past.

If you are worried that you are developing sepsis or any infection, please seek medical care right away and tell someone you trust so they can go with you. It is understandable to feel afraid and to wonder whether your doctors care, especially when you feel so weak. Fear can grow quickly and make us imagine harm where there may be none, and it can make it hard to trust. The safest step is to tell your doctors plainly what you are feeling and what worries you, including your concerns about your injection, your blood pressure, and your belly button. Bring a trusted family member or friend or advocate with you if you can, so they can listen with you, ask questions, and help you remember what is said. Do not stop or change your medicine on your own, but talk openly with your psychiatrist and your general practitioner about your concerns and ask them to explain your treatment clearly. If you continue to feel unheard, you can ask for a second opinion.

You also wrote that you feel very weak and fragile and that you need Jesus and need a physician who cares. Jesus does care, and He sees your weakness. God is not distant from you in this fragile place. Scripture says that when we walk through dark valleys, we do not have to fear evil because He is with us. Fear often takes hold when we forget the presence and power of the Lord, and remembering that He is with you and able to strengthen you is what restores peace. Fear and faith cannot rule the heart at the same time. When faith in Christ and His presence fills the heart, fear must leave. When fear is allowed to take over, faith is pushed aside. Learning to remember the Lord, to call upon Him, and to trust His nearness throughout the day is the way fear is overcome.

You spoke of remorse and wondering whether God has forgiven you. That sense of guilt is a heavy burden. It can weigh you down and even make you feel that you must be punished before you can be free. That is how guilt often works in us, creating a hidden desire to pay for what we have done. King David knew that feeling after his own sin. He felt the weight of guilt and longed to be cleansed.

God's forgiveness is not like ours. When we forgive, we often still hold back. When God forgives, it is total and complete. The Bible says though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, and that if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. David prayed, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow, because he understood that God's cleansing is complete. There is nothing that can lift the weight of guilt like coming honestly to God, confessing your sin to Him, and receiving the forgiveness He offers through Jesus Christ. Jesus said that all manner of sin will be forgiven for those who come to Him. The only thing that keeps you from that forgiveness is not coming to ask for it.

You do not have to earn forgiveness by suffering more or by punishing yourself. Jesus already bore the punishment for sin on the cross, so that you can be forgiven and made clean as a child of God when you put your trust in Him. If you have confessed your mistakes to God and asked Him to forgive you through Jesus, you can take Him at His word that you are forgiven, even when feelings of remorse linger. Feelings may still come and go, but His promise stands.

I will pray for you, that God will give you peace in place of fear, assurance of His complete forgiveness in place of remorse, and strength in your weakness. I pray that He will calm your heart as you remember that He is with you, that He will guide your doctors with wisdom and compassion, and that He will surround you with trustworthy people who can support you in your care. Come to Jesus just as you are, tell Him all your fears and sins, and ask Him to be your Savior and your physician. He invites you to come and receive His love, His cleansing, and His care, and He will not turn you away.
