More With ###/Whatever-It-Is

Leah B.

Servant of All
Finally, finally I have begun my jaw orthotic adjustment. What the dental specialist did was alter a night guard I already owned to fit me differently. I am scheduled to get many more adjustments before she sends final measurements to the lab to make a brand new brace. Of note: There was so much motion artifact on the CAT scan, the radiologist could not see inside my jaw to tell if I have a slipped disc or whatever. For this reason, this VERY costly brace [over three grand] is also being used as a diagnostic tool. All this being said, so far I am disappointed because the incessant clicking and clicking is still going on. The specialist was not in her office for me to contact about this plus I'm seeing her again this week anyway. I did google the subject, and I learned that the symptoms can get worse for a few weeks before they get better. Please in Jesus's name pray that this is the case. Pray this brace works! Besides this three grand, the initial visit cost $300.00, and the CAT scan with reading cost $800.00. Then besides all that, about seven years ago, I shelled out three grand to a total quack. I've also undergone chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture, all to no avail. I do believe this current dental specialist is highly competent and very honest. My case is not straight TMJ. There is likely but not positively a neurological component. This being said, it deeply bothers me that the CAT scan is unreadable in terms of internal jaw structures. What if the orthotic doesn't work? Insurance pays for nothing with TMJ except for the surgery. That surgery is, I assume, only done if you have a CAT scan or MRI finding. I highly doubt they will pay for diagnostic/exploratory surgery for me. Okay, on to another prayer request: A while back, I asked you to pray about two dishonest businesses I am dealing with. In the first case, please pray in Jesus's name that this step I took a few days ago makes them stop being dishonest for good so I don't have to keep dealing with them. In the second instance, it was about the high-interest Ulta Beauty credit card with the ridiculously high credit limits I got duped into. I say, "duped" because I assumed I was getting like $1,000-worth of in-store credit, which would have been fine to use every once in a while. Instead it's a Mastercard. I can't believe I was this gullible; and, sad to say, it's not the first time I've been had. A few months ago, I applied for and got a Belk credit card because it garnered me a few dollars off the dress I bought to wear to my nephew's wedding. My quandary here is now that I know this is not a savvy financial move, I want to backtrack and cancel both cards. I'm just afraid my credit rating will take a hit. Then again, it should bounce right back in a few months, and I really do not want or need another credit card anyway. Also it's possible I am just worrying and over-thinking because this is what I always do. Please in Jesus's name pray I come to a good decision about these cards. In the case of Ulta, I might want to just barter them down to a small amount of credit on an in-store card I will then never use. That way I won't hurt my credit rating. Alright. One final prayer: I think I am having another COPD flare. My breathing is down from baseline, and I am exhausted. This happens to me a few times a year even though I have very well controlled COPD. I'm trying to tough it out because I hate being on prednisone. It makes me jumpy and wired for sound and exacerbates my insomnia. Please pray in Jesus's name that I get better on my own. Thank you for praying 🙏.
 
We lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is your Healer and Provider, and we thank you for invoking the name of Jesus in your request—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we join you in that trust as we bring these burdens before the throne of grace.

The journey you are on with your TMJ treatment is undoubtedly frustrating, especially with the financial and emotional toll it has taken over the years. We understand your disappointment that the clicking persists, but we take heart in the possibility that this may be a temporary setback before improvement, as you’ve discovered in your research. Let us remind you of the words in *James 1:2-4*, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, 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."* This trial, though wearying, is not without purpose. We pray that the Lord grants this orthotic device success in aligning your jaw as intended, that He would guide the specialist’s hands with wisdom and precision, and that He would provide clarity where the CAT scan has failed. May this diagnostic tool reveal what is needed, and may the Lord prepare your heart to trust Him regardless of the outcome. If surgery or further intervention becomes necessary, we pray He opens doors for provision—whether through insurance, unexpected resources, or divine healing. Remember, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). We also ask the Lord to ease the financial burden you’ve carried from past attempts at treatment, that He would restore what has been lost to deceitful practices, and that He would grant you peace in knowing He is your ultimate Provider.

As for the dishonest businesses, we stand with you in rebuking the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Lord detests dishonest scales and deceitful practices (Proverbs 11:1), and we pray that your recent action would expose their wrongdoing and bring it to an end. May the Lord vindicate you and turn their hearts toward integrity, or if not, may He sever their ability to harm you further. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB), and we trust He will act on your behalf.

Regarding the credit cards, we commend you for recognizing the unwise nature of these financial decisions and seeking the Lord’s guidance in correcting them. Scripture warns us against the love of money and the snares of debt, urging us instead to live with contentment and wisdom (1 Timothy 6:10, Proverbs 22:7). Your concern about your credit rating is understandable, but we encourage you to prioritize stewardship and freedom over temporal credit scores. *"Owe no one anything, except to love one another"* (Romans 13:8, WEB). If canceling these cards is the right step, trust that the Lord will sustain you even if there is a temporary impact. If bartering down the Ulta card is the wiser path, we pray the Lord grants you favor in those negotiations. Above all, we ask that He would give you clarity and peace, freeing you from the spirit of overthinking and worry. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).

Finally, we lift up your health, particularly this COPD flare. It is clear you are weary of the prednisone’s side effects, and we pray earnestly that the Lord would restore your breathing without the need for it. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). May His healing hand be upon your lungs, granting you strength and relief. If medical intervention becomes necessary, we pray He would guide your doctors and mitigate the unwanted effects of treatment. Lean on Him in this exhaustion, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, lifting up her physical struggles, financial burdens, and the weight of uncertainty she carries. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would bring healing to her jaw, that this orthotic would fulfill its purpose, and that You would provide wisdom to the specialists involved. Where there is neurological complexity, we pray for clarity and divine intervention. Father, we rebuked the spirit of disappointment and frustration, and we ask that You replace it with hope and patience as she waits for improvement.

We pray against the dishonest practices of those who have sought to take advantage of her, Lord. Expose their deceit and bring it to an end. Grant her favor in these matters and protect her from further harm. As for the credit cards, give her discernment to make the right choice—one that honors You and frees her from unnecessary financial bondage. Remind her that her worth and security are found in You, not in credit scores or material things.

Lord, we ask for healing over her lungs. Restore her breathing to baseline and beyond, and spare her from the need for prednisone if it is Your will. Strengthen her body and calm her mind, that she may rest in Your promises. Father, we thank You that she has called upon the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against her—whether physical, financial, or spiritual—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

In all these things, Lord, let her feel Your presence and know Your peace. Remind her that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28), even when the path is difficult. We ask these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
 
Dear friend, we're right there with you, feeling the frustration and disappointment of this ongoing jaw issue. It's like a never-ending story, isn't it? But remember, even in the midst of this, we serve a God who sees, who cares, and who is more than capable of turning things around.

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the progress you've made so far. You've started your jaw orthotic adjustment, and that's a big deal! It's a step forward, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. We're praying that this brace works wonders for you, that it aligns your jaw just as it's supposed to. And we're also praying for wisdom for your dental specialist, that she would be guided by God's hand in every adjustment she makes.

Now, about that unreadable CAT scan. It's a bummer, we know. But God sees what we can't, and we trust that He has a plan in all of this. We're asking Him to reveal what needs to be revealed, and to guide your doctors in the right direction. If surgery becomes necessary, we're believing God for provision, whether that's through insurance, unexpected resources, or divine healing.

We're also standing with you in your frustration with those dishonest businesses. It's not fair, and it's not right. But we serve a God of justice, and we trust that He will make things right in the end. We're praying that your recent actions would expose their wrongdoing and bring it to an end. And if not, we're believing that God will vindicate you and turn their hearts towards integrity, or at least, sever their ability to harm you further.

As for those credit cards, we commend you for recognizing the unwise nature of those decisions. It's not easy to admit when we've made mistakes, but you're doing the right thing by seeking God's guidance in correcting them. We're praying for wisdom for you in this, and for peace in knowing that God is your ultimate Provider. If canceling these cards is the right step, we trust that God will sustain you, even if there's a temporary impact on your credit rating. If bartering down the Ulta card is the wiser path, we're believing God for favor in those negotiations.

Lastly, we're lifting up your health, particularly this COPD flare. We know you're weary of the prednisone's side effects, and we're praying earnestly for the Lord to restore your breathing without the need for it. We're believing for healing over your lungs, and for strength and relief in this exhaustion. If medical intervention becomes necessary, we're trusting God to guide your doctors and mitigate the unwanted effects of treatment.

Remember, our God is a God of miracles. He specializes in turning impossible situations around. So, let's keep trusting Him, even in the midst of our frustrations and disappointments. He's got this, friend. He's got you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
