We hear the heaviness in your cry and we join with you before our Father, for He sees the endless pressure you are under and the great effort it takes for you to do what others do without thinking. We thank you for ending your prayer in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name we are saved and heard. As it is written, 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 Acts 4:12, and Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. We cling to that promise with you.

Your burden has been so long and so heavy, from your youth with the knee injury and severe allergies, to the accidents and herniated discs, to the knee surgery and the long years learning to walk again, to the thyroid crash and cancers that were overlooked when you were told it was all in your head, to now the frailty where even stairs and a shower wipe you out for hours. We want to gently rebuke the lie that you are a lazy bum and the judgment from others who have said you will never change. The Lord does not see you as lazy, He sees your suffering and your perseverance. He knows your frame and remembers that you are dust Psalm 103:14, and His power is made perfect in weakness, for He said, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9. Your desire to work and to study is honorable, and the determination you showed in completing the computer program and in pushing through 14 hour days in your cybersecurity course even while recovering from N3 palsy and a stroke watch is evidence of a diligent spirit, not laziness. At the same time we encourage you not to measure your worth by what you can produce, but by who you are in Christ, beloved and held even when your body can only sit and rest.

We also understand the fear and anxiety about provision, about SNAP and the work requirement and the deadline for good cause, about being on hold for so long and feeling unheard, about having only a little saved and wondering how you will eat. The Lord knows you need these things. We are reminded, Therefore don't be anxious, saying, What will we eat? or What will we drink? For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:31-33. And, 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 Philippians 4:6-7. When your heart is overwhelmed, you can pray as the psalmist did, When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I Psalm 61:2. And for your weariness we hold to, He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might Isaiah 40:29, and Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28.

We want to encourage you to keep pressing for help in practical ways as you are able. Keep a written record of every call and hold time and deadline for DCF and SNAP, and if you can, ask a trusted advocate, case worker, church, or legal aid office to help you follow up so you are not carrying this alone. Keep taking the medical documentation as it comes, including the doctor's note you are waiting for, and continue to be honest about your limits as you did in your SSA function and pain report. That report being submitted is a step of stewardship, and we pray the Lord gives favor to it. For your cybersecurity studies, we thank God that the university paused your course and recognized your dedication, and we pray He will restore health in His timing so you can resume if it is His will, or show you another path to provide if not, for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God Romans 8:28.

We pray together for you now.

Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up our brother to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see every year of pain, every misdiagnosis, every accident, every long recovery, and every moment he has been called lazy when his body was breaking. Give him assurance that You understand and that You do not condemn him. Father, we ask for Your mercy regarding his SNAP benefits and the work requirement confusion. Open a way where there seems to be no way, let the right person answer the phone, let the good cause deadline be honored, and let the doctor's note arrive and be received. Provide for his daily bread, for we know You are our Provider and our refuge, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1. Touch his frail body, ease the pain of the herniated discs and knee and the effects of the thyroid loss, give wisdom to his doctors, and give him restful sleep and strength for each day as You see fit. Calm his fear about work and housing and the pressure to hurry and leave with no income, and let him feel Your peace that surpasses understanding guarding his heart. Bless the work of his hands in studying and give him clarity on when to rest and when to press forward. Let the SSA report be reviewed with fairness and favor. And Father, above all, draw him closer to Jesus, remind him he is not forgotten, and that You are near to the brokenhearted. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus, amen.

We hear how much you are carrying right now. Waiting on hold for over an hour, facing a good cause deadline today for SNAP, worrying about how you will eat and where you will live, all while your body feels so frail that even stairs and a shower wipe you out for hours, it makes sense you feel tired and stretched thin. We also hear how hard you have worked to keep going, through so much illness and injury, and how much it meant to be approved for that cybersecurity course.

We are praying with you, especially for that deadline today and for your daily needs.

One steady step that may help is to make a simple paper trail while you keep trying to reach them. Write down each call with the date, time, and how long you waited, keep copies of the doctor note and any extension request, and if the phones stay busy and you are able, consider going to the local office in person with those papers or asking a trusted friend or a local community help agency to go with you. Many towns also have food pantries and church food ministries that can help with groceries while benefits are pending, and a local legal aid or community action office can often help look over SNAP paperwork at no cost. Keep a copy of what you sent for SSA as well.

Please keep your medical team aware of this increasing frailty and exhaustion alongside prayer, so they can walk with you closely.

Father, we lift this dear brother to You. You see his effort, his worry about food and housing, his desire to learn and to work, and how much his body has been through. Provide for his needs today, give favor and clarity with the paperwork and the people reviewing it, guide his doctors, and give him rest and steady help in the days ahead. Remind him he is not forgotten or alone. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has been heard and your sorrow has been weighed, and I do not take it lightly that you have poured out your heart in this way. To be pressed on every side, to wait long upon the phone and be cut off, to fear the loss of daily bread, to feel that simple things which others do as breathing cost you the labor of three full days, this is a heavy yoke. The Lord sees it. He who desires truth in the inward parts looks not as man looks upon outward strength or outward sloth, but searches the heart, and He knows the difference between unwillingness and inability, between the frailty of the body and the wandering of the soul.

You speak of a frail body, of stairs that exhaust you for hours, of a shower that can be taken only once in a week or two, of herniated discs and a knee that has locked since youth, of rare cancers and a thyroid taken away, of strokes and palsy and endless waiting for a note in the mail. We know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now, and your body, which is the earth in which your spirit dwells for a season, groans with it. Do not think that Christ is a stranger to such weakness. When He took our flesh and blood He accepted the entire sympathies of our creatureship. He knows weariness, He knows pain, He bore scourging and spitting and thirst and death itself, bearing that we might never bear His Father's righteous ire. And His rest shall be glorious, for He has passed through suffering to obtain it, and He now gives rest to those who come to Him weary and heavy laden.

You have been told it was all in your head, you have been called idle when you could only sit and rest, and this wounds deeply. Yet remember that as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are His thoughts above our thoughts and His ways above our ways. Men may misjudge, but the Lord does not. He stores up goodness for His people that we have not yet suspected, and He often works hidden benefits for us while we see only the bright side or the dark side in turn. It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke in his youth, not because affliction is good in itself, but because it teaches us to cry out in the dark, Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat, and to find that He is our hiding place and shield, and we hope in His Word.

I thank God with you for the mercy shown in the cybersecurity course, that those who oversee it saw your dedication and paused your study with kindness, and that you were able even in great weakness to give fourteen hours and to leave material for future students. That perseverance is not lost. God gives grace in preparation for further grace, the grace of a broken heart to make room for repentance, and then the grace of holy walking and of faith in Jesus. Your hunger after righteousness, your desire to work and to live a quiet and honest life and to provide for yourself, is itself a sign that God is at work in you. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. The man who hungers for that one thing will find other hungers expelled, and though sense remains, that hunger will nerve him to intense endeavors as God enables him.

You are pressed to hurry and find a place to live, you have three hundred set aside and fear how you will eat, you have waited long for help that seems not to arrive. I would urge you to keep seeking the lawful help that is appointed, to let the record show your diligence with the good cause and the doctor's note, to continue to call and to keep copies of all you send, and to seek counsel from any faithful advocate near you who can speak with you face to face. And above all, cast your care upon Him who cares for you. He who gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater will not forget His own. His Word shall not return void but shall water the earth and make it bring forth and bud.

You mention the report you submitted for your need with help to express it. I pray that it will be received with truth and justice, and that those who read it will see with understanding. More than that, I pray that you will find that rest which remains for the people of God, where the labor which has gone before prepares the sweetness of the rest. Come unto Him all you that are weary and heavy laden, and He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.

May the Lord keep your heart with all diligence, try you and know your ways, see if there be any wicked way in you, and lead you in the way everlasting. May He satiate the weary soul and replenish every sorrowful soul, and make you to know wisdom in the hidden part. May He provide for your daily bread, sustain your frail body, open a door for honest labor or study as He gives strength, and above all keep you looking unto Jesus, in whom alone is salvation, until you quit this mortal body and are forever with the Lord.

I commend you to His mercy and pray that He will be your portion in this world and that which is to come, and that His glorious rest will be yours through the finished work of Christ our Surety, in whose name we ask all things. Amen.

Åh pappa, jag trodde att allt skulle bli bra när de gav mig Snap när jag bad om en förlängning för att vänta på läkarintyget med posten. Men vad de gjorde med mig var att de satte upp mig på jobbet och informerade mig inte och deadline för att inte dyka upp är idag. Jag ringer stället, inget svar, jag ringer DCF. Jag satt i telefon i 1 timme och 20 minuter, sedan klickar jag, nu är jag i telefon igen. Åh pappa, de vill ta ifrån mig min Snap. Det är ett oändligt problem efter det andra, utan avbrott. Jag är trött. Ingen kan förstå hur mycket ansträngning det krävs för att göra något så enkelt. Som en vanlig person kan en vanlig person göra det, som att andas. Men för mig är det som om jag jobbade tre heltidsjobb för att göra samma uppgift. En gång i mitt liv jobbade jag som pro mover med fem diskbråck. Jag hade ont, men min kropp var fortfarande stark, så det spelade ingen roll. Men nu har jag en skör kropp. Åh pappa, hur ska jag kunna äta? Jag har fortfarande trehundra som jag lyckas samla ihop till akuta behov. Antar jag att jag ska överleva på en burk Chef Boyrdee med några dagars mellanrum för att det ska räcka? Åh pappa, när kommer hjälpen? Det enda bra som har hänt mig är att jag blev godkänd på en cybersäkerhetskurs för ett specialprogram på ett universitet för funktionshindrade och de pausade mina studier tills jag kunde återuppta mitt engagemang och min beslutsamhet har fått dem att tänka. Tidslinjen ser ut så här, grattis, du blev godkänd. Tre dagar senare ligger jag på sjukhuset med N3-pares och står på stroke-bevakningslistan. Jag kommer ut från sjukhuset och gjorde kursen i dåligt skick. Jag lämnade till och med in en massa material som kommer att användas på universitetet för framtida studenter. Sedan började jag den riktiga cyberkursen. Jag gjorde den första dagen, 2 timmar, spenderade bara tid på att utforska hela plattformen. Nästa dag började den riktiga dagen. Jag gjorde ett 14-timmarsmaraton, dag 3. 14-timmarsmaraton, dag 4, lyssnade på föreläsningen och tog sedan ett simulerat övningsprov. Jag var riktigt trött och fick nästan 50 %. Jag gör det för att testa min förmåga att simulera hur min kropp kan bli utan förvarning. Sedan var jag tvungen att pausa mina studier. Min kropp blev plötsligt sämre. Åh pappa, jag har mycket motivation. Men innerst inne är jag väldigt rädd för att gå och jobba. Och innerst inne vill jag jobba, men jag vet att om jag kämpar för att gå uppför trapporna för att duscha så kan jag bara göra det en eller två gånger i veckan. Hur ska jag kunna jobba om att gå uppför trapporna och duscha utplånar mig i timmar? Jag är pressad att skynda mig och gå och hitta någonstans att bo, men jag har ingen hälsa att jobba eller studera. Åh pappa, jag känner att något är fel med mig. Jag sa det för årtionden sedan, bara för att få höra att allt är i ditt huvud, och det visade sig vara två mycket sällsynta olika typer av sköldkörtelcancer som långsamt växte, och jag blev behandlad som om jag var den friskaste personen i världen. Som om jag var en lat luffare är allt jag har känt av alla. Det är inte som att jag bett om oändlig tortyr. Tänk dig att du är sexton, ditt knä låser sig, sedan försöker du studera på gymnasiet, men din allvarliga matallergi gör att du missar många dagar eller nästan dör på sjukhuset, och kommer tillbaka till skolan och får höra att du kan komma, men du går inte.Sedan blev jag lurad att hoppa av skolan när jag bad om en överföring till en elektrotekniker. Sedan hittade jag en kvällsskola för vuxna. Jag hoppade över så många klasser på fyra månader. Pappa, jag var tre klasser ifrån att bli klar. Och sedan kom sommarlovet och jag vägde 45 kg, jag förlorade förmågan att skriva och uttrycka mig. Jag tappade matten och kunde inte avsluta skolan. Sedan ett år senare fick jag två bilolyckor inom sex månader, vilket lämnade mig med totalt fem diskbråck och tre år av envis brännskada på sidan av kroppen. Jag tror att jag är läkt, skaffa ett jobb, kroppsuppträdanden och sluta tills jag fick ett jobb som flyttfirma. Sedan inträffade den tredje bilolyckan, den som hade minst påverkan men gjorde mest skada. Mitt knä träffade styrväven, samma knä som låste sig på mig när jag var ung. Sedan opererade jag min knä och eftersom läkaren gav fel instruktioner låste sig mitt knä igen och jag fick höra att jag aldrig ska gå igen. Det tog mig ett år att halta och 23 år att gå. Under min återhämtning lyckades jag slutföra ett datateknikprogram och jag började arbeta, men min kropp kollapsade. Efter några månader visade det sig att jag hade en sköldkörtelkrasch i femton år, sedan upptäcktes cancern, pappa. Inte en enda gång i mitt liv har jag kunnat arbeta i fred, skaffa mig en utbildning. För en gångs skull i mitt liv vill jag känna vad ett normalt liv är. Min situation är inget annat än stress, oändlig stress. Hur kan jag äta bra? För det enda jag har råd med är saker som är dåliga för min hälsa. Jag är tvungen att skynda mig och gå, men jag får ingen inkomst. Och efter min operation för att bli av med min sköldkörtel mådde jag så bra att jag till och med var beredd att gå till jobbet, och sedan skulle min kropp svikta igen. Sedan fick jag höra av min familj att jag aldrig kommer att ändra mig. Jag sa att jag ville arbeta och titta på mig själv, sitta hela dagen och göra ingenting. Varför kan folk inte förstå att det är för att min kropp inte kan göra något annat än att sitta ner och vila. Åh pappa, jag skickade in min SSA-funktions- och smärtrapport med AI:n. Hjälp, snälla låt det bli bra. I Jesu namn ber jag amen.Det tog mig ett år att halta och 23 år att gå.
