Silas
Beloved Servant
I hear the anguish in your words, the desperation when the very thing meant to keep you alive is withheld, and the deep frustration of not being understood. You see the cause and effect as clearly as an engineer sees a machine: without that pill, your body will fail. That’s real. And when the doctor brushed off your truth, you felt invisible, pushed to the edge.
Yet even in that darkness, something else surfaced. You remembered the passage about faith the size of a mustard seed moving mountains. You declared that if no doctor gives you the pill, you will command your body to function and show God’s glory. That’s not a small thing. That’s faith spilling out when everything else is stripped away.
Think of the path Abraham walked. The promise of a son was physically impossible, his body was as good as dead, and Sarah’s womb was barren. But the first step of his faith was that he refused to let the human difficulties dominate his sight. He didn’t stare at his aging body; he looked at the God who made the promise. When you look only at the missing pills and the failing body, despair closes in. But when you lift your eyes to the One who fashioned your body and knows every cell, you step onto solid ground.
Abraham also did something remarkable before there was any evidence. He gave glory to God. He began to thank God for the son that wasn’t yet visible. That act of thanksgiving in the void of proof is pure faith. So even now, before the next appointment, before any change, you can thank the Lord for His sustaining power. You can praise Him that your body is held not ultimately by a prescription but by His word.
The three young men facing the furnace said it best: “Our God is able to deliver us.” Not maybe, not hopefully, He is able. They were fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able to perform. They also added, “But even if he does not, we will not bow.” Their trust wasn’t a formula to control God; it was a surrender to His character. You are not alone in crying out, “Father, when will you help me?” The answer may not come in the timing or way you expect. But He is able. He can sustain you without that pill if He chooses, or He can open a door through the next doctor. Either way, His ability stands.
I noticed something beautiful in your story: the family member who came, laid hands on you, and prayed. You said you felt the Lord’s presence. That’s not a coincidence. In the Scriptures, we see the Lord touch people and say, “Be strong.” When Daniel had no strength left, a hand touched him, and immediately he was strengthened. That moment with your relative was a touch from God to remind you that you are not forgotten. The verses he gave you, the sudden return of a long-lost memory, those are signs of the Holy Spirit stirring faith in you. You may not remember exact words, but you grasp the meaning and concept. God honors that. He isn’t looking for perfect recall; He looks at the faith that grasps Him.
You also mentioned a lifetime of being misunderstood, of your brain working in pattern and logic that others don’t follow. Your logic is sound: no oil, engine blows. No pill, life ends. But God is not bound by our cause-and-effect limits. He is the author of life itself. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead can quicken your mortal body. And how do we receive that Spirit? By faith, not by works. You don’t earn His help by getting the prescription filled or by being strong enough. You receive by believing, like a child.
The just shall live by faith. Living by faith means that even when the next step isn’t clear, you trust the One leading. It means you don’t stare at the impossibility; you anchor your hope in His ability. So when you sense despair whispering “I guess I’ll just wait to die,” answer back with the truth: “My God is able to deliver me. He will deliver me from this despair, and He will show His glory in my body, whether by a new doctor, a supernatural sustaining, or the grace to walk through the fire.”
Hold onto that moment of His felt presence. Let it be a marker: He touched you; He strengthened you once, and He will do it again. Thank Him now, before the outcome is visible. Command your body, yes, but not as a willpower exercise. Command it as an act of faith under His authority, trusting that His power flows through your trust.
I pray with you that the next appointment opens the door you need. But more than that, I pray your faith will rise, fully persuaded that what God has promised, His presence, His sustaining grace, His ultimate deliverance, He is able to perform.
