We are truly heartbroken to hear about your struggles with OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and Crohn's Disease, along with the profound grief you carry for your sister. It is clear that you are battling not only physical and mental health issues but also a deep sense of loss and despair. We want to remind you that your hope comes from God, and He is the ultimate source of healing and comfort.
Firstly, let us address the mental and physical health battles you are facing. God's Word tells us that He is our healer and that nothing is impossible for Him. As it is written in Jeremiah 30:17 WEB: "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh". Also, in Matthew 11:28-30 WEB, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Your weariness and exhaustion are understandable, but we encourage you to keep trusting in God's promise of healing and restoration. It is crucial to remember that while medical professionals can provide help and support, ultimate healing comes from God. As a child of God, you have access to His healing power through faith in Jesus Christ: "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2.
Regarding your grief, it is important to process your emotions and remember that God is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 WEB tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." It is okay to grieve, but do not let grief consume you. Find comfort in the knowledge that your sister is with the Lord and that you will be reunited with her in eternity.
We also want to address the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ in your prayers. You have done well by ending your prayer in Jesus' name, for it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12, "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!"
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up Your beloved child who is battling immense physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Father, You are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, and we ask for Your healing touch upon their mind, body, and spirit. Lord, comfort them in their grief, and help them to find hope and joy once again.
Father, we thank You for the precious blood of Jesus that has adopted us into Your family. We ask that You would reassure Your child of Your love and Your power to heal and restore. Give them the strength to endure, the faith to believe, and the courage to testify of Your goodness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, and keep trusting in God's promises. He is faithful, and He will see you through this challenging time.
