Thank you for prayingYour long and heavy burden has been laid before the Lord with many tears, and we have heard the cry of these eight years of suffering and of these present anxieties which crowd upon you. To be pressed by thronging duties and infirmities and yet to find no rest is a trial indeed, but there is a peace which the world cannot give and cannot take away, and it is written, You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. That peace is not the removal of the affliction at once, but the keeping of the heart and mind through Jesus Christ while the affliction remains, and it is found in believing, in trusting the blood of Jesus which whispers peace within.
We will pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation and access to the Father, that He who is our great Deliverer would look upon your body with compassion. For this long functional movement disorder of the jaw, which robs you of sleep and brings such severe pain and has brought TMJ in its train, we ask the Lord for deliverance. He knows the fear that attends the remedies before you, the risk of facial droop with botox and the heavy burden of medications that have knocked you down and carry such warnings. We pray that the Lord, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations and whose least touch is full of healing virtue, would grant you relief, restore peaceful sleep, ease the pain, and guide your physicians to wise and gentle care. We ask that whether by His immediate hand or by sanctified means, you may know His mercy in your body.
For the trial concerning your lungs we also plead with the Lord. We thank Him with you for that measure of relief already given, that the nodule has not grown and that scarring rather than malignancy appears to be the cause, and we pray for perfect wisdom in the strait between another CT scan and a biopsy. Anxiety in such a difficulty unfits the mind to meet it, but whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he, and true wisdom is to trust Him in temporal things while using all lawful means with diligence. We pray that He will grant you an increase in pulmonary function on your upcoming test, and a productive and clear conversation with your pulmonologist, and that He will direct you and your doctors to the right decision, keeping you from unnecessary risk of collapsed lung or intubation, and from delay that would hinder other needed care. May He quiet your heart, for He that looks to God in the face every morning need not fear the face of man.
For your suffering with GERD and LPR, for the sore throats and the nasal symptoms which so weary you, for the concern over kidney function with omeprazole, and for the long waiting for TIF surgery with hernia repair and the frustration of the BRAVO capsule delay and recall, we pray that the Lord would open the right door in His time. We ask in Jesus name that if it be His will, the BRAVO testing would be provided and give a clear result to satisfy what is required, and that the surgery, when it comes, would be highly successful, that your sore throats would cease and your need for that medication would be removed. We pray for healing and for patience, that you may be kept from fretting under delay, and that you may do the will of Jesus and find rest even while you wait. We pray also for wisdom whether to return to ENT, that you would not be tossed about for gain, but led to those who truly seek to fix the problem, and that the Lord would guard you from those who would use your suffering for their own ends.
For the burden concerning breast reduction at sixty seven years, the pain and discomfort, the cost and self consciousness, the effect upon posture and daily life, we pray for clear guidance. We ask the Lord to give you a settled mind, to weigh this decision before Him with godly counsel, and if you proceed in November, that He would grant a safe operation and a result with which you are at peace and truly helped. We pray that you would no longer be holed up in shame, but would know that your life is hidden with Christ and that your worth is in Him, and that whether you go upstairs or abroad, you may go in peace, for your faith has saved you.
We will continue to pray in Jesus name for positive outcomes in all of this, that the bottleneck in your care would be loosed, that your many afflictions would be alleviated, and above all that your mind may be stayed upon Christ. He has delivered in times past, and He will yet deliver. He brought them forth, every one, and not one of His little ones shall perish. Cast yourself upon Him in Christ, and since God has made you free, you are free indeed. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, and keep you in perfect peace as you trust in Him.

Thank you for prayingYour request has been heard and I am lifting you up in prayer in the name of Jesus, asking for His mercy, healing and guidance over every part of what you have described.
I am praying first for your jaw and the movement disorder you have carried for so many years. The constant movement, the pain, the loss of sleep and the TMJ that has followed is a heavy burden. The options you have been given carry real risks and difficult side effects, and I understand why you are asking God for deliverance. Scripture shows that there is power in the name of Jesus to bring healing. When Peter spoke about the lame man who was made whole, he declared that it was through the name of Jesus that the man stood before them healed. I am asking the Lord in that same name to have mercy on you, to ease this affliction, to grant relief from pain, and to restore restful sleep according to His will. Whether He brings complete healing or sustaining grace day by day, I pray you will know His presence and compassion in this long trial.
I am also praying for wisdom and understanding for each medical decision before you, because you are facing many at once and each one matters. The Scriptures teach that wisdom comes from the Lord when we ask Him for it. David urged his son to seek wisdom and understanding above all, so that he could walk faithfully and make right judgments, and when his son later became king he asked God for wisdom and knowledge to lead well. God was pleased with that prayer and gave him wisdom generously, and more besides. In the same way the apostle Paul prayed that God would give His people a spirit of wisdom and understanding so they would know God more deeply, know the hope of His calling, and know the richness of His grace in Christ. I am praying that same kind of wisdom for you now.
You need fresh wisdom for every new situation, even when situations look similar to ones you have faced before. God does not want us to live by routine alone but to seek His face and His way step by step. I am asking Him to give you clear wisdom for the choice between another scan and a biopsy, for the conversation with your lung doctor and for the upcoming lung function test, for the timing and success of the reflux testing and the hernia repair you have waited so long for, for whether to return to the ear nose and throat doctor, and for the decision about breast reduction and its outcome. I pray God will guide your doctors, give them discernment, help them weigh risks well, and help you sense when to wait, when to act, and when to seek another opinion. I pray especially that inflammation and scarring would be clearly distinguished from anything concerning for cancer, that your lungs would be protected from complications, and that your pulmonary function would improve.
I am praying also for relief from the reflux, the sore throat, the nasal symptoms, and the concern about your kidneys with long term medication. I pray the Lord will provide the testing you need, open the way for insurance approval, and grant skill and success to the surgeons if you proceed, so that these symptoms would be eased and you would no longer need medication that harms you. I pray for comfort and peace about your body image and the physical strain you have described with posture and with finding clothing, and that if you move forward with surgery you would be pleased and helped by the result and restored in confidence and comfort.
Above all I pray you will know how much God loves you and how rich His grace is toward you in Christ Jesus. Even in long suffering and delays and feeling stalled and tired, He sees you, He has not forgotten you, and He invites you to keep asking Him for wisdom for each new day.
Father, in the name of Jesus I bring this dear one before You. You know the pain in her jaw, the sleepless nights, the worry over her lungs, the waiting for care, and the weariness of carrying so many burdens at once. Please bring healing as it pleases You, grant wisdom and understanding for every decision, guide the hands and minds of her medical team, protect her from harm, and give her peace and hope in Your grace. Let her know You more deeply and trust Your goodness in every step. I ask this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for prayingPraying with you for your requests in Jesus' name, Amen
