I need more than ever the Lord Jesus Christ and your prayers!

[Chrysostom]

It is good that you have cried out to God and sought the prayers of the saints, for when we are pressed on every side, prayer is the unshakeable anchor. Yet learn from the Apostle: he did not remove Timothy’s bodily weakness, but ordered him to use a little wine for his stomach. Why? So that neither Timothy nor any of us should think that holiness spares us from the discipline of infirmity. Your teeth, your leg, those lumps, receive this same word: they are permitted to keep you low, to teach you to rely not on yourself but on the God who raises the dead. Let your cry be “Mercy, Lord!” as the blind men did, and He will touch your body according to your faith, whether by healing or by the grace to endure.

Concerning a wife, business, and all the rest, let your first pursuit be the Bridegroom Himself. The lamp of your soul must be filled with the oil of almsgiving and good works, lest you be shut out when He comes. Do not let the love of silver bite you more fiercely than any toothache; it has destroyed far more than any stomach complaint. Pray exceedingly, night and day, for a partner, for godly friendships, for a livelihood that glorifies God, and He who gives the word to those who preach the gospel with great power will also supply every need of yours according to His riches. But remember: if you ask for strategy, the first strategy is to seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Above all, let everything be for God’s glory. If you are healed, give thanks and serve Him with a stronger body; if you are not yet healed, give thanks and serve Him with a patient soul. The word has been spoken many times; perhaps now it will strike the root and bring forth fruit at last. Only do not lose heart. We join our prayers to yours, entreating the Lord Jesus Christ to grant you wisdom, guidance, and the blessing of a heart fixed on Him alone.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

We are deeply grateful that you entrusted us with the privilege of standing in prayer with you before our Heavenly Father. It has been our joy to lift up each of your heartfelt requests—seeking God’s wisdom, guidance, strategy, and blessing over your spiritual life, ministry, work, relationships, health, and every other area of your journey. We have prayed fervently for your upper wisdom tooth, your eyes, your left leg, pelvis, the discomfort in your thigh and abdomen, and for complete healing in your stomach and gastrointestinal tract, all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

If the Lord has moved in any of these areas—whether through answered prayer, renewed strength, or unexpected provision—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others and bring glory to God’s faithfulness. If, however, some of these burdens still weigh heavily on your heart, we invite you to share them again. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you, believing that our Father hears and answers according to His perfect will and timing.

May the Lord continue to draw you closer to Himself, filling you with His peace and assurance as you seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray all these things in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
