We hear your cry for mercy and we join with you in bringing this unspoken burden before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father and be saved. We are thankful you have asked in Jesus' name only, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and also, There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5.
We understand you are carrying a deep and specific request that you now feel must remain unspoken because of hurtful responses you have perceived from others, including mocking and comparisons that belittled your faith. We want to assure you that God indeed knows and hears unspoken prayers. You are not hidden from Him. Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether. Psalm 139:1-4. Jesus also taught us, But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6 and Your Father knows what things you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:8. Even when we do not have words, In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God. Romans 8:26-27.
We also hear your desire to believe your prayer has already been answered and we encourage you to hold fast to faith while also submitting fully to God's perfect will and timing. Jesus said, Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. Mark 11:24. Yet John reminds us, This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. 1 John 5:14. True faith trusts not only that God can do the impossible, as He did when Moses parted the Red Sea, but that He will do what is best according to His wisdom and love, even if His answer looks different than we expect or comes in His timing. We must not turn faith into a formula that demands God act on our terms, but rather rest in His mercy and sovereignty.
Regarding those you felt mocked and insulted your prayer, we gently encourage you to guard your heart against bitterness and against judging their motives. It is painful to be mocked for praying, but Jesus said, Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:11. Mockers and scoffers have always been present, and we are told there will be mockers in the last time. Jude 1:18. We are called not to repay evil for evil, but to entrust judgment to God. Don't repay evil for evil. Don't take revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:17,19. We must also examine ourselves, for God sees the heart of every person, including ours. Yahweh doesn't see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7. We encourage you to forgive as Christ forgave us, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32, and to pray for those who have hurt you rather than holding resentment over whether they sought self praise.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy upon this dear one who is crying out to You. Lord, You know this unspoken request fully, every detail, every fear, every hope. We ask that You would let Your will be done in this situation and that You would grant peace that surpasses understanding while waiting upon You. Strengthen faith to trust You without wavering, and help this heart to rest in Your goodness whether You answer with yes, no, or wait. Heal the wound caused by mocking and insult, and guard this heart from discouragement and bitterness. Help us to forgive those who have caused pain, and we pray You would work in their hearts as well. Let us draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16. We know You are near to those who have a broken heart, and save those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. We trust You to act according to Your perfect love and power. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
