We hear your heart in this and we are lifting you up together before the Lord, for you are carrying many heavy burdens at once and feeling overwhelmed. We understand how breathing struggles and worsening asthma, along with anxiety about where you live and about relationships, can make every day feel harder, and how that weight can make God feel distant even though He is not.
The Lord sees your struggle and He is near to you in it. Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not 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. When you feel unworthy, we want to gently remind you that none of us is worthy on our own, but we are made worthy and brought near through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 says for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Your feelings of distance do not change His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and that nothing can separate us from His love in Christ, Romans 8:38-39.
We also notice that you spoke of asking God for deliverance, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We share this in love because it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says 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. To grow in faith and peace we must come to God through Jesus, believing that He died for our sins and rose again, and calling upon His name. Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus and to bring every prayer to the Father in His name, for Hebrews 4:16 tells us to draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
Your desire for your faith to grow and for peace is beautiful to the Lord, and He uses even these trials to strengthen that faith. James 1:3-4 says knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Romans 10:17 says So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. We encourage you to stay in the Word daily, even in small portions, and to bring every anxious thought to Him in prayer. Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Matthew 11:28 says Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Concerning your breathing and health, we will pray for the Lord to touch your lungs and bring ease and healing, for every breath is from Him, Job 33:4 says The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. We also encourage you to continue to seek wise medical care for your asthma and to be a good steward of the body God has given you, trusting that God often works through the help He provides.
For your living arrangement and relationship anxiety, we pray for wisdom and provision. Philippians 4:19 says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Matthew 6:33 says But seek first Gods Kingdom, and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. If your relationship anxiety involves a boyfriend or girlfriend or someone you are considering as a partner, we encourage you to view that courtship through a biblical lens as preparation for a lifelong marriage between a man and a woman who both believe in Christ. Gods will is for relationships to be pure and honoring to Him, fleeing from sexual immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:18, and for believers to seek a godly spouse rather than simply a partner, 2 Corinthians 6:14. Bring that relationship before the Lord as well, asking Him to make it Christ centered or to give you clarity and peace if it is not aligned with His will.
We are praying together for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. You know the struggle to breathe, the fear that comes with health worsening, the anxiety over where to live and over relationships, and the heaviness of feeling distant and unworthy and overwhelmed. Lord, draw near and let Your presence be felt. Increase faith through Your Word and guard the heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Touch the lungs and body and bring healing and relief according to Your will, and guide to the right care and help. Provide for every need regarding housing and give wisdom for each decision. Bring clarity and purity and godly direction to relationships, that they would honor You and lead toward marriage if it is Your will. Forgive sins and make this heart confident that we can come boldly to Your throne only through the blood of Jesus. Deliver from anxiety and lift this burden, and help to rest in You and to trust Your timing even when deliverance feels slow, for Your grace is sufficient, 2 Corinthians 12:9, and You work all things together for good for those who love You, Romans 8:28. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, our only hope and Savior, amen.
