We hear the deep distress in your words, and our hearts ache for the suffering you are enduring—both physically and emotionally. The Lord sees your pain, and He cares deeply for you, even when those around you do not understand or believe you. You are not forgotten, and your struggles are not in vain. The Bible reminds us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He is close to you right now, and He longs to bring you comfort and healing.
First, we must address the spiritual foundation of your plea. We notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and this is something we must gently but urgently bring to your attention. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach God or receive salvation, healing, or deliverance. **Acts 4:12** declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Jesus is the only way to the Father, and it is through faith in Him—believing in His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins—that you can have a personal relationship with God. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (**Romans 10:9**). Without this foundation, prayers for healing and deliverance lack the power and authority that come through Christ alone.
Now, let us speak to the struggles you are facing. Your physical symptoms—hearing loss, throat issues, bowel incontinence, and the ringing in your ears—are not things to be dismissed or ignored. It is wrong for your stepfather to invalidate your pain or compare his experiences to yours in a way that minimizes your suffering. **Proverbs 14:31** tells us, *"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him."* To dismiss your cries for help is not only unkind but dishonoring to God, who calls us to bear one another’s burdens (**Galatians 6:2**). Your stepfather’s refusal to seek medical help for you is not an act of love or wisdom. If he is a believer, he is failing to reflect the compassion of Christ, who healed the sick and comforted the afflicted. If he is not a believer, his hardness of heart is even more tragic, for he lacks the hope and transformation that comes through faith in Jesus.
Your mother’s accusation that you are "hateful" for expressing your pain is also deeply concerning. It is not hateful to seek help or to voice your suffering. **Ephesians 4:15** instructs us to speak the truth in love, and you are doing just that. Their responses to you are not aligned with Scripture, which calls us to *"rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep"* (**Romans 12:15**). Their dismissal of your needs is not only hurtful but potentially dangerous, as untreated medical conditions can worsen over time. We strongly encourage you to seek help, even if it means reaching out to other trusted adults, such as a pastor, a school counselor, or a medical professional on your own. If you are of age, you have the right to make your own medical appointments. If you are a minor, there may be resources in your community, such as youth advocacy groups or church leaders, who can intervene on your behalf.
As for your physical symptoms, we acknowledge that these are real and require attention. The throat issue you describe could be related to a number of medical conditions, such as a thyroid disorder, vocal cord dysfunction, or even a neurological issue. Hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) should be evaluated by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, as these can stem from infections, nerve damage, or other underlying causes. Bowel incontinence is not something to be ignored, especially if it is progressive. These are not matters to be taken lightly, and they warrant professional medical evaluation. **Proverbs 17:22** reminds us that *"a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."* While this verse highlights the connection between emotional and physical health, it does not mean your symptoms are "all in your head." It means that your emotional distress can exacerbate physical struggles, which is why both your spiritual and medical needs must be addressed.
We also want to speak to the mental and emotional toll this is taking on you. Depression is a real and serious condition, and it is often linked to physical health struggles. The enemy would love for you to believe that you are alone, that no one cares, or that your pain is imaginary. But these are lies. **1 Peter 5:7** tells us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Jesus cares about every detail of your suffering, and He wants to bring you relief. However, this relief may come through practical steps, such as seeking medical care, counseling, or even removing yourself from an environment where your needs are not being met. If your stepfather and mother continue to dismiss you, it may be necessary to seek support elsewhere. This is not rebellion; it is stewardship of the body and life God has given you.
Let us pray for you now, lifting your needs before the Lord with urgency and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding for this precious soul who is crying out for help. Lord, You see the depths of her pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual. You know the despair she feels when those who should protect her instead dismiss her. Father, we ask that You would be her Defender, her Healer, and her Comforter. We pray that You would open doors for her to receive the medical care she desperately needs. Raise up advocates for her, Lord—people who will listen, believe her, and take action to help her. If there are underlying medical conditions causing her symptoms, we ask for wisdom for the doctors who will treat her and for complete healing in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of dismissal and unbelief that has taken hold in her home. Soften the hearts of her stepfather and mother, Father. Convict them of their hardness and lead them to repentance. If they are believers, remind them of their duty to care for her as unto You. If they are not, Lord, we pray that this situation would open their eyes to their need for a Savior. Let them see the gravity of their actions and the harm they are causing.
We also pray for her mental and emotional health. Father, lift the heaviness of depression from her. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**). Remind her that she is not alone, that You are with her, and that her life has purpose and value in Your eyes. Break the lies of the enemy that tell her she is forgotten or that her pain doesn’t matter. Replace those lies with Your truth: that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**) and that You have plans for her future (**Jeremiah 29:11**).
Lord, we ask for supernatural intervention in her body. Heal her throat, restore her hearing, and bring her bowels back to proper function. We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, she is healed (**1 Peter 2:24**), and we command every symptom that is not of You to leave her body in Jesus’ name. Give her the strength to persevere, the courage to seek help, and the faith to trust You even when the road is hard.
Father, if she has not yet surrendered her life to Christ, we pray that You would draw her to Yourself. Reveal to her the love of Jesus, who took her sins upon Himself so that she could have eternal life. Let her know that salvation is found in no one else, and that through faith in Him, she can have hope, healing, and a future with You.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust that You are working, even when we cannot see it. Strengthen her, protect her, and lead her into Your perfect will. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we want to encourage you to hold fast to the Lord, even in this storm. **Psalm 46:1** says, *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."* He is your refuge, and He will not abandon you. If you feel trapped, cry out to Him. If you feel unseen, remember that He sees every tear you shed (**Psalm 56:8**). Keep seeking help, keep praying, and do not give up. The Lord is fighting for you, even when it feels like no one else is.
If you are able, we also encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be surrounded by people who will support you spiritually and practically. If your family will not help you, the body of Christ can step in. You are not meant to walk this road alone. Lean on the Lord, and let Him lead you to the help you need.
We are standing with you in prayer, believing for your breakthrough. Do not lose heart. The Lord is near.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
