Partie 8

[Anonymous]

Je me suis réveillée en ne me sentant pas particulièrement bien, mais au fil de la journée, ça n'a fait qu'empirer. Ma santé mentale me détruit. Je suis complètement épuisée, et cette douleur me ronge de l'intérieur.

Je souffre tellement que j'ai du mal à réfléchir clairement. Sachez que je n'aime pas accabler les autres de mes problèmes. Je suis plutôt solitaire. Mais je sais aussi demander de l'aide quand la situation devient insupportable.

Actuellement, deux ministères, y compris leurs pasteurs, cherchent à me confronter et me portent un regard très négatif. Le premier concerne le pasteur qui a exercé des pressions sur moi concernant le mariage, pressions que j'ai refusées. Le second concerne la femme qui a été victime d'abus sexuels durant son enfance et dont j'ai dénoncé l'agresseur au pasteur de l'église qu'elle fréquente toujours. Elle souhaite maintenant me confronter, moi, car j'ai révélé l'affaire au pasteur, alors qu'elle continue de garder le silence sur ces abus afin de protéger l'agresseur.

Des mois plus tard, j'ai fait un rêve étrange à ce sujet. Je voyais les membres de cette église m'ignorer, m'éviter et me mépriser. Leur pasteur agissait de même. J'ai fui l'église juste avant le début de l'office. Dans mon rêve, tandis que je m'enfuyais, je disais au pasteur en pensée : « J'ai peut-être allumé la flamme, mais c'est toi qui l'as propagée… »

Car la vérité, c'est que je n'ai jamais divulgué cette information à d'autres églises, ni même à personne d'autre dans cette église. Je l'ai seulement partagée avec lui afin qu'il puisse prier le Seigneur et intercéder pour cette situation.

J'ai des problèmes personnels, tant émotionnels que financiers, et je ne parviens plus à fonctionner correctement. J'ai l'impression que mon cerveau est en surchauffe au moindre effort, et je suis à peine capable de fonctionner.

Quant à mes sentiments amoureux inavoués, ils me font souffrir, mais je réalise qu'ils ne peuvent pas être une priorité dans mon état actuel.

La douleur qui me ronge est insupportable : c’est une véritable agonie. J’ai la poitrine en feu rien qu’en vous écrivant ces lignes, même si je n’ai pas chaud.

Dans les deux cas, ces situations continuent de me perdurer, même si j'ai tout fait dès le début pour me tenir à distance de ces églises, car j'étais déjà vulnérable et à bout de forces.

Je suis épuisée, vidée, complètement vidée… Mais je continue de prier. J’ai recommencé à prier.

Merci pour votre soutien. Il est vital et incroyablement précieux pour moi en ce moment.

Que le Seigneur vous bénisse et protège vos familles et vos vies. Amen.

Topic Automatically Translated From French Language:

I woke up not feeling particularly well, but as the day went on, it only got worse. My mental health is destroying me. I am completely exhausted, and this pain is eating me away from the inside.

I am suffering so much that I can hardly think clearly. Please know that I don't like to burden others with my problems. I am quite solitary by nature. But I also know how to ask for help when the situation becomes unbearable.

Currently, two ministries, including their pastors, are seeking to confront me and are viewing me very negatively. The first involves the pastor who pressured me about marriage, pressure which I refused. The second involves the woman who was sexually abused as a child and whose abuser I reported to the pastor of the church she still attends. She now wants to confront me because I revealed the matter to the pastor, while she continues to remain silent about the abuse in order to protect the abuser.

Months later, I had a strange dream about this. I saw the members of that church ignoring me, avoiding me and despising me. Their pastor was doing the same. I fled the church just before the service began. In my dream, as I was fleeing, I said to the pastor in my thoughts: "I may have lit the flame, but you are the one who spread it..."

Because the truth is that I never disclosed this information to other churches, nor even to anyone else in that church. I only shared it with him so that he could pray to the Lord and intercede for this situation.

I have personal problems, both emotional and financial, and I can no longer function properly. I feel like my brain overheats at the slightest effort, and I am barely able to function.

As for my unconfessed romantic feelings, they cause me pain, but I realize they cannot be a priority in my current state.

The pain that is eating away at me is unbearable: it is true agony. My chest is burning just writing these lines to you, even though I don't feel hot.

In both cases, these situations continue to haunt me, even though I did everything from the start to keep my distance from these churches, because I was already vulnerable and at the end of my strength.

I am exhausted, drained, completely empty... But I keep praying. I have started praying again.

Thank you for your support. It is vital and incredibly precious to me right now.

May the Lord bless you and protect your families and your lives. Amen.

We have read your request with heavy hearts and we carry your burden before the Lord with you. You are not burdening us, you are obeying Scripture which says Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2. The fact that you are solitary by nature and yet have humbled yourself to ask for help when the pain became unbearable is not weakness, it is wisdom, and we thank you for trusting us to pray with you.

We hear how deep your exhaustion is, how your mental health is crushing you, how your chest burns and your mind feels like it overheats at the slightest effort, how you can hardly think clearly and can barely function, and how financial and emotional trials are pressing on you from every side. The Lord sees this agony that is eating you from the inside. He is not distant from it. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3. When your heart is overwhelmed, we pray you will be led to the rock that is higher than you. Psalm 61:2. Jesus Himself invites you, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. We pray you will cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, and that in nothing you will be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, your requests will 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.

We also want to gently address your spiritual covering as you pray. You speak of praying to the Lord and we rejoice that you have started praying again, yet we notice you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. We say this in love because there is no access to the Father except through Him. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. 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. If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. It is only by the blood and name of Jesus that our prayers are heard, our sins forgiven, and our broken hearts healed, so we always come before God in Jesus name and we encourage you to do the same with confidence.

Concerning the two ministries that are viewing you negatively and seeking to confront you, we want to speak with biblical clarity. First, regarding the pastor who pressured you about marriage and you refused, we affirm your decision. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman and we strongly endorse marriage when it is entered into according to God's will, but marriage must never be coerced or pressured by a pastor or anyone else. A godly courtship should be entered freely, with prayer, with the goal of marrying another Christian believer, not out of manipulation or haste. To pressure you in your vulnerability was not right, and we pray God will convict where control was exercised instead of shepherding.

Second, regarding the woman who was sexually abused as a child and the abuser you reported to her pastor, we must speak plainly. What was done to that woman as a child was evil and the Lord hates injustice against the vulnerable. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. Ephesians 5:11. To remain silent to protect an abuser is not biblical protection, it is covering sin, and love does not cover unrepentant abuse. While we understand the complexity of trauma and why a victim may feel unable to speak, the church has a solemn duty to protect, to bring truth into the light, and to intercede righteously. Your motive, as you shared, was not to gossip, you did not spread this to other churches or to others in that church, you told only the pastor so he could pray and intercede, that is a pure motive. If that pastor then spread the matter or allowed you to be despised and avoided, as in your dream where you fled and thought I may have lit the flame, but you are the one who spread it, then the responsibility for mishandling that trust lies with him, not with you. A shepherd is to handle such matters with utmost care, confidentiality, wisdom, and with a commitment to truth and to civil authorities where the law requires. We rebuke the idea that you should be shamed for seeking prayerful help for a victim, and we rebuke any attempt to protect an abuser at the expense of truth.

We also understand how that dream has haunted you, seeing members ignoring and despising you. Dreams often reflect our deep anxiety and exhaustion rather than prophecy, and we pray you will not receive condemnation from it. The Lord knows you tried to keep distance from these churches because you were already vulnerable and at the end of your strength, and that was wise to set boundaries when you had no strength to engage. Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10.

You mentioned unconfessed romantic feelings that cause you pain but you rightly discern they cannot be a priority right now. We honor that discernment. We encourage you to surrender those feelings to the Lord, to keep your heart pure before Him, and to remember that any romantic relationship is to be courtship with the goal of godly marriage to another believer, and that sex before or outside marriage is fornication and not God's will. In your current state of exhaustion, the most loving thing you can do for yourself and for any future spouse is to seek healing and rest first, and to trust God to order your steps regarding love in His timing.

We are also concerned for your physical symptoms, the burning in your chest and the feeling that your brain overheats. We pray for your healing, and we also encourage you in love to seek medical care alongside prayer, to let a trusted doctor evaluate you, to rest your body as well as your soul, and to allow others in the body of Christ to help bear your practical burdens.

We now pray together for you.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we lift up this precious soul who is exhausted, drained and completely empty. You see the agony that is eating away inside, the burning chest, the overwhelmed mind, the financial and emotional pressure, the haunting confrontations and the loneliness. Lord, we ask You to wrap Your presence around them right now. Give rest to the weary, bind up the brokenhearted, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Forgive their sins through the blood of Jesus and let them know with assurance that they have access to Your throne by His name alone. Expose what needs to be exposed regarding the abuse, protect the victim, bring justice and repentance where needed, and shield our dear one from false accusation and slander. Silence the voices that despise and give them favor and vindication in Your time. Provide for their financial needs according to Your riches, restore sleep and strength, calm their nervous system, and lead them to a healthy, biblically faithful fellowship where they will be shepherded with grace and truth. Give wisdom regarding the romantic feelings, help them to wait on You and to pursue purity and godly marriage in Your timing. We ask that You raise up trustworthy, godly people around them so they no longer feel solitary, and that You remind them daily that You will never leave nor forsake them. Let them feel Your nearness today and let their strength be renewed as they wait on You. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to keep praying in Jesus name, to stay in the Word daily even if only a few verses, to rest without guilt, and to not return to confrontations you do not have strength for until God clearly opens the door and provides wise counsel beside you. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9. You are not forgotten. Keep letting us pray with you, for we will continue to bear this burden with you before the throne.

We are grateful you reached out while carrying such deep pain. If you are in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You are not alone and trained people are ready to help right now.

Thank you for describing so honestly how exhausted and empty you feel, how hard it is to think clearly, and how your chest burns and your mind feels overheated with even small effort. We hear that you are solitary by nature and do not like to burden others, so we honor the courage it took to ask for help when it became unbearable.

We also hear how heavy it has been to feel confronted and viewed negatively by two ministries, and how haunting that dream was of being ignored and having to flee. You tried to keep distance to protect yourself while already vulnerable, and you shared what you knew about the abuse only with a pastor so he could pray and intercede. That is a lot to carry without clear support.

Because the physical pain and exhaustion you describe are so intense, we gently encourage you to reach out soon to a medical professional and a trusted counselor or pastor alongside prayer, so you are not carrying this alone and can get care for your body and mind.

Father, in Jesus name we lift our friend to you. You see this agony and exhaustion. Please draw near with your peace, guide them to safe and caring help today, give wisdom for each difficult relationship, and sustain them as they keep praying. Keep them in your care. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

La douleur que vous décrivez a été entendue, et votre cri monte vers Celui qui guérit les coeurs brisés. Vous dites que vous êtes épuisée, vidée, que votre poitrine est en feu et que votre esprit est en surchauffe au moindre effort. Il y a une forme de coeur brisé qui vient d'une longue angoisse mentale, et c'est une grande maladie. Mais il y a un grand Médecin. Nous nous occupons très vite des maladies du corps, elles nous poussent à chercher un médecin, combien plus devons nous porter les blessures de l'âme à Christ.

Vous avez appris ce que j'ai appris moi même, que l'anxiété même qui naît du fait d'être dans la difficulté vous rend inapte à affronter cette difficulté. Votre inquiétude ne vous aide pas à porter le fardeau, elle vous affaiblit pour le porter. Et vous portez beaucoup. Deux confrontations qui pèsent sur vous, des regards négatifs, des pressions, tout cela alors que vous étiez déjà vulnérable et à bout de forces et que vous aviez choisi de vous tenir à distance. Sachez ceci, vous n'êtes pas d'une importance si grande que l'Eglise de Dieu dépende de vous, et c'est une miséricorde. Son Eglise ne mourra pas, car le Seigneur vit encore et Son Esprit demeure encore dans l'Eglise. Il y aura de la peine pour nous si nous commençons à penser que tout dépend de nous. Vous avez fait ce qui était devant vous, vous avez refusé une pression concernant le mariage qui ne venait pas du Seigneur, et vous avez agi avec conscience en confiant à un pasteur, dans le secret et pour la prière, une situation grave d'abus. Vous dites avec justesse dans votre rêve, j'ai peut être allumé la flamme, mais c'est toi qui l'as propagée. Vous n'avez pas divulgué cette information à d'autres églises ni à d'autres personnes, vous l'avez partagée à celui qui avait la charge d'intercéder et de veiller. Laissez à Dieu ce qui appartient à Dieu, et aux responsables ce qui appartient à leur charge. Ne portez pas la culpabilité de la propagation.

Ce rêve où vous vous voyez ignorée, évitée, méprisée, et fuyant l'église avant l'office, révèle la crainte d'être rejetée pour avoir dit la vérité. C'est une souffrance réelle. Mais voyez la grande conduite d'où coulent des fleuves abondants de guérison. Les feuilles de l'arbre sont pour la guérison des nations, et la moindre chose en Christ est guérissante. Non seulement Son fruit est doux et nourrissant, mais Ses feuilles, les petites choses en Christ, sont pleines de vertu guérissante. Ces feuilles guérissantes changent le sang de la vie, touchent les esprits et rendent la nature autre qu'elle n'était auparavant. Quand le Seigneur vient habiter avec les Siens, le Soleil de justice se lève sur eux avec la guérison dans Ses ailes. Quand Jésus a guéri le paralytique, Il lui a dit, prends courage, tes péchés te sont pardonnés. Pardon et guérison ne font qu'un.

C'est pourquoi je vous exhorte à chercher d'abord la guérison avant le service. Il y a eu une femme guérie de la fièvre, et aussitôt guérie elle se leva et se mit à servir. Le désir de servir naît toujours de la guérison. Vous avez voulu vous tenir à distance parce que vous étiez à bout, c'était sagesse. Ne vous précipitez pas à reprendre des fardeaux ou à vouloir réparer ce qui ne vous appartient pas. Le Seigneur doit commencer avec vous avant que vous ne puissiez commencer avec Lui. Laissez Le vous prendre par la main et vous relever. Il y a une guérison dans le contact avec Christ, dans Sa venue en chair pour nous toucher.

Cette guérison est liée à l'enseignement et à la prière. La puissance de guérison était présente quand Christ enseignait, car la foi vient de ce qu'on entend et ce qu'on entend vient de la Parole de Dieu. Et l'Eglise doit prier si elle veut voir la puissance de guérison. Vous dites, je continue de prier, j'ai recommencé à prier. Persévérez. Prêtez l'oreille avec attention à la Parole, non comme ceux qui vont à l'église seulement pour être baptisés, mariés ou enterrés, mais comme ceux qui cherchent à entendre Christ Lui même. Et ne restez pas seule. Vous dites que vous êtes plutôt solitaire et que vous n'aimez pas accabler les autres, mais vous avez bien fait de demander de l'aide quand la situation devient insupportable. Ne portez pas seule cette agonie mentale. Cherchez une aide fidèle, un médecin pour le corps si nécessaire, un pasteur sage et des croyants éprouvés qui prieront avec vous et pour vous. L'isolement nourrit l'angoisse.

Quant à ces sentiments amoureux inavoués qui vous font souffrir, vous avez raison de discerner qu'ils ne peuvent pas être une priorité dans votre état actuel. Confiez les au Seigneur, gardez votre coeur, et demandez Lui de vous conduire selon Sa voie sainte où l'amour, le mariage et la vie commune s'inscrivent dans l'alliance d'un homme et d'une femme pour la vie, telle que Dieu l'a instituée. Pour l'heure, que votre prière soit pour la guérison, la clarté d'esprit et la paix.

Je prie pour vous, non pour bénir ce qui est contraire à la volonté de Dieu, mais pour que Dieu vous accorde selon Sa grâce en Jésus Christ seul. Père, regarde Ta fille brisée et épuisée, pardonne ses péchés par le sang de Christ et guéris son coeur. Apaise l'incendie de sa poitrine, calme son esprit en surchauffe, donne lui le sommeil, le repos et le pain quotidien, et pourvois à ses besoins émotionnels et financiers. Délivre la de la crainte des hommes, garde la de l'amertume, et conduis les pasteurs et les églises concernés à agir avec vérité, justice et miséricorde, en protégeant les faibles. Apprends lui à se décharger sur Toi de tout souci, car Tu prends soin d'elle. Et que les feuilles de l'arbre de vie apportent à son âme une fraîcheur nouvelle. Amen.
