PLEASE JESUS, HAVE MERCY! I MUST BELIEVE MY PRAYER HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED!

[Anonymous]

Hi. This is asked of Jesus in His Name and in Jesus' Name only. Only Jesus can do this and Jesus will when you pray to Him be able to show you everything. There were malicious elements coming to this prayer, insulting it, with aim of said elements being for them to look good by insulting it. Such a specific element even made fun of the ###'s comparing the situation to Moses opening the Red Sea. While some of what said element preached has validity, I could not help but perceive it to be an attack on this prayer with the perceived intent being to look good by belittling the prayer. Said element is possibly looking for self-praise in this manner. So that had me realize that from now on it truly will have to be an unspoken prayer and I know God knows what this prayer is about.

We hear your cry for mercy and we join with you in lifting this unspoken request to our Father in Jesus name and in Jesus name only, for we know that He hears and He knows exactly what you are carrying even when you do not speak it aloud. We thank you for calling upon Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and there is no other name by which we can be saved and our prayers heard. As it is written, 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. Romans 8:26 and Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6

We stand with you in faith believing that God is able to do far more than we ask or imagine, and we understand your desire to believe your prayer has already been answered. 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 We join our faith with yours, and we also remember the confidence we have that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. 1 John 5:14 So we pray that your request be answered according to His perfect will and timing, and that He will give you peace as you trust Him. We cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 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

We also hear your hurt regarding those who mocked and insulted this prayer, comparing it to Moses opening the Red Sea in order to make themselves look good. We gently rebuke that spirit of mockery and self exaltation, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, and we rebuke any attempt to belittle sincere prayer before the Lord. The parting of the Red Sea was indeed a true miracle of God, and He is still the same miracle working God today, nothing is impossible for Him. At the same time we encourage you not to hold bitterness, but to follow the command of our Lord where He says But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. Matthew 5:44 We pray for those who insulted you, that God would soften their hearts and lead them to humility and truth, and that He would protect your heart from discouragement.

We now pray together for you.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. You know the unspoken burden of this dear one, every detail, every need, every fear. We ask for Your mercy and Your gracious answer according to Your perfect will. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen faith to believe and to rest in Your goodness, that You would answer in a way that shows Your glory and Your power, and that You would let Your peace guard this heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Forgive any who have mocked this prayer and bring them to repentance, and help our beloved to forgive as You have forgiven us. Keep this prayer protected in the secret place with You, and let Your will be done. We trust You to do what only Jesus can do, and we thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

We encourage you to continue to bring this unspoken request to Jesus in quiet trust, knowing He sees in secret and rewards openly, and to rest in the assurance that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.

We hear how heavy this prayer has been to carry, and how painful it felt to have others make light of it. It makes sense you would want to pull it close and keep it between you and Jesus after feeling mocked, especially when someone used your faith as a chance to look clever.

We want you to know God does hear the prayers we do not put into words. You do not have to explain or defend your prayer to others for it to be real to Him. He knows what you are bringing to Him, even when you choose to keep it unspoken.

If it helps, we have found it steadying to set aside a quiet, private time each day to simply bring that same unspoken request to Jesus, without pressure to feel a certain way, and to rest in who He is rather than in how others have responded. If there is one safe, trusted believer in your life, you might consider letting just that one person know you are carrying an unspoken burden so you are not holding it completely alone, but only if that feels safe to you.

Father, we bring our friend and this unspoken request to You in Jesus name. You know every detail and every ache behind it. Give peace in the waiting, guard from discouragement when others misunderstand, and help to trust Your goodness and Your timing. Draw close and let Your presence be felt today. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your unspoken burden is already known to Him who searches the heart, and there is comfort in this, that the Lord hears not only the words of the lips but the inward groaning of the spirit when you can only pray, God forgive me that I cannot pray as I ought.

You have felt the sting of mockers, and this is no strange thing. Faith has ever had her foes, and they often live in the same house with her. Some will scoff and say your trusting in God is folly, and will liken your prayer to presumption, as if faith in God were a thing to be scoffed at instead of being the most wise and proper thing under heaven. True religion is sanctified common sense, and faith in the Eternal is essential wisdom. Let them mock if they will. The day shall come when it will be known that unbelief is folly, but he that lives by faith in the Son of God who loved him and gave Himself for him shall obtain unnumbered blessings as the result of it. Do not be moved by scorn or sarcasm. God does not invite intending to repulse, nor does He set open the door of mercy meaning to shut it in the sinner's face.

Remember also that God's Word is the foundation of faith. God has spoken in His holiness, and that is the solid basis on which faith builds. Our confidence is not that we have spoken loudly enough or believed strongly enough to compel Him, but that He has spoken, and His promise is sure. What mighty power your soul will have in prayer if you go to God and say, Do as Thou hast said. Yet the prayer of faith always clings to the cross and says, Not my will but Thine be done. It is not what you can do, but what Christ has done, that must be the ground of your hope. Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, and that reconciliation is only through the blood of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

Therefore I would have you cry unto God Most High, unto God that performeth all things for you. Faith is an active grace and its activity is first manifested in prayer. This precedes any action. Pour out your heart before Him in secret, for He that seeth in secret shall reward openly. At times our hearts are broken and our prayer is feeble to us, but it is always acceptable to God when it comes through Jesus. Brethren must not take delays in prayer for denials. God's long dated bills will be punctually honored, but He answers according to His own wisdom and holiness, not according to our dictating. To declare that a thing must be as we have said is presumption, but to trust that God will do what is best and most for His glory is true faith. Prevention is better than cure, to trust and then not to be afraid is better than to be afraid and then to trust. Throw out the anchor of faith and rest.

Let us pray together for you now, as you desire, in Jesus' name and in His name only, for only Jesus can save and intercede.

O Lord Most High, Thou knowest this unspoken request in all its particulars. Thou knowest what is asked and what is needed. We ask not that Thou wouldst bless what is contrary to Thy holy Word, but that Thou wouldst do what is holy and right and good. If there be sin, grant repentance and forgiveness through the blood of Christ. If there be a relationship or desire not ordered according to Thy institution of marriage as the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, with purity belonging therein, turn the heart to love Thy law and to seek Thy cleansing. Draw this soul to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and to find peace in Him. Deliver from the fear of man and the wound of mocking lips, and give a faith that honors Thee in the very act of calling upon Thee in the day of trouble. Answer in mercy, in Thine own way and time, and let the answer be such as will make this heart love Thee more. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our only Mediator. Amen.

May the Lord give you more faith in Himself, and may you taste and see that the Lord is good.
