Your cry for the Lord Jesus and our prayers is heard. Indeed, you need Him more than ever, as do we all, for without Him we can do nothing. The very breath of your request, casting so many cares upon Him, is itself a proof of faith. Yet let us not be anxious as those who have no hope, but rather seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to you as the Father sees fit.
When you ask for wisdom and guidance in spiritual life and ministries, you ask rightly. This is the one thing needful. But remember, true wisdom is not of this world. The world calls prudence what is often folly before God. Do not seek a strategy that neglects the cross. The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, full of mercy. Cling to humility, almsgiving, and the love of the brethren, for these are wisdom indeed. In all your ministries, let there be no display, no love of praise. Sit often on the mountain of prayer, away from the tumults, that you may hear the voice of the Spirit.
For your business and job, do not make provision for the flesh to fulfil its lusts. Labour diligently, but set not your heart on gain. The present life is a dream and the riches in it vanish like smoke. Use wealth as a steward, not a slave, remembering that you carry a common nature with the poor. If prosperity comes, give thanks; if hardship, give thanks likewise. God's support may come in the form of little, that your soul might be enlarged. Seek in your work to serve Christ, not mammon.
As for a wife and family, this is a good desire. But do not let it consume you. Look not for outward beauty or wealth, but for a true helpmate, a woman of virtue and godliness. And when you marry, let your care be for the raising of saints, not merely heirs. Keep the marriage bed honourable, and do nothing to kindle wantonness. The body is for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
In finances, I pray you learn the secret of contentment. A little wine for the stomach's sake is permitted, but not drunkenness; a little care for the body is needful for health, but not soft living. Do not heap up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy, but store up for yourself treasures in heaven through generosity. The fool feeds his dogs but neglects the image of God starving at his gate.
Your mention of teeth and eyes and legs and every ailment reminds us that our outer nature is wasting away. We pray for healing in the Name of Jesus, for He is the physician of souls and bodies. But if the sickness remains, it may be a tutor to teach you that your true life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you will appear with Him in glory. Until then, accept whatever comes as the potion mixed by a loving Father. Do not trust in health as the world does, but offer your members as instruments of righteousness. The ball on your leg or abdomen, the pain in your teeth, these are small and temporal. Look to that eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
Again, you ask for prayer that all this be for God's glory. This is the very knot that ties your petitions together. God is not glorified by our prosperity alone, but by our patience, our thanksgiving in all things, our dying to self. Whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
I will pray for you, but I charge you: do not merely ask, but also run to obtain. Examine your life daily. Let there be nothing secular in your soul when you converse with God; banish earth from your mind, for great awe is fitting when the Spirit speaks. Above all, feed often on the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, for without this you have no life in you. That sacred table is the medicine of immortality. Let it strengthen you more than any earthly bread.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations. Amen.
