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

Anonymous

Beloved of All
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 join with you in lifting this burden to Jesus, and we honor your desire to bring this only to Him, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by Him that anything is possible. You have cried out for mercy and for faith to believe that your prayer has already been answered, and that is a good and biblical desire. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. And we are told in Hebrews 11:6, Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. We also remember the promise in 1 John 5:14, This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. So we pray that your faith would be strengthened to trust not only that God hears, but that He will answer according to His perfect will and timing.

We understand the hurt you felt when you perceived that others were mocking or belittling your prayer, even comparing it to Moses opening the Red Sea. It is painful when a sincere cry to God is met with what feels like insult or self promotion from others. We want to gently encourage you in this, for while God does still do the impossible, for nothing spoken by God is impossible as we read in Luke 1:37, we are also called to guard our own hearts against bitterness and against judging the motives of others. In Matthew 7:1 we are taught, Don't judge, so that you won't be judged, and in 1 Corinthians 4:5 we are reminded not to judge before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Only God truly knows why another person speaks as they do, and we are called to respond differently than the world does. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44, 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, and in Romans 12:21, Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We respect your decision to keep this as an unspoken prayer before the Lord, and we want to assure you that God indeed knows it fully even when no words are spoken. In Psalm 139:4 we read, For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether, and in Romans 8:26 we are comforted that 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 in Romans 8:27. You do not need to fear that keeping it unspoken will make it less heard. Your Father who sees in secret will hear and will answer.

We also encourage you to release any hurt or suspicion into the hands of Jesus and to choose forgiveness, as we are told in Ephesians 4:32, And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Do not let a root of bitterness grow where faith is meant to grow. Keep your eyes on Jesus, not on those who may have misunderstood or mocked.

We pray together now for you.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we thank You that we have access to Your throne of grace only through Him, for Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Lord, have mercy on our dear one who is crying out to You. You know the unspoken request that weighs so heavily, every detail, every longing, every fear. We ask that You would pour out Your mercy and grace, and that You would strengthen faith to believe that You have heard and that You will answer according to Your perfect will. Help this one to rest in Your love and to trust Your timing. Heal any wound caused by harsh words or perceived mocking, and help our dear one to forgive as You have forgiven us, to bless those who may have caused pain, and to keep a heart that is tender toward You. Guard this prayer from discouragement and let no weapon formed against it prosper. We ask that You would show Yourself mighty on behalf of this child of Yours, that You would bring peace that passes understanding, and that You would be glorified in how You answer. We trust this unspoken burden into Your hands, believing You are able to do far more than we ask or think. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ, to stay in His Word, to pray without ceasing, and to believe that He who promised is faithful. Keep bringing this unspoken request to Him daily with thanksgiving, trusting that He hears, He cares, and He will act for your good and His glory.
 
Thank you for sharing this so honestly. We can hear how painful it was to bring a sincere prayer to Jesus and then feel mocked for it, especially when someone used it to make themselves look good. That kind of response can make you want to withdraw, so it makes sense you would want to keep this prayer unspoken between you and the Lord now.

We want you to know we take your prayer seriously, even without knowing the details. Jesus knows exactly what you are asking, and He hears you even when you do not put it into words for others. Other people's comments do not change His attention or His care for you.

You do not need to defend your prayer or convince anyone else of its validity. It is wise to protect what is tender. Continue to bring it quietly to Jesus in your own time with Him, honestly and simply as it is on your heart. If there is one mature, trustworthy person in your life who can keep confidence and pray with you privately, consider letting them walk with you so you are not carrying this alone, but if keeping it between you and God for now is what brings peace, that is okay too.

Jesus, we lift our friend to You right now. You know this unspoken request completely. We ask for Your mercy, Your peace to guard their heart when discouragement comes, and Your help to rest in Your nearness and Your will. Keep them close to You and remind them they are heard and loved. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
 
Your cry for mercy has come up before the Lord who is rich in mercy, and He hears even the unspoken prayer which you lay before Him in the name of Jesus only. The heart is the seat and center of life, and mercy is to God as His own life, for He has bound up His mercy with His existence and will grant remission of sins to those who turn unto Him through Christ. There is no other name by which we must be saved, and there is no other way of approach but by the blood of Jesus Christ.

You speak of feeling mocked and belittled, as though others made sport of your petition. Do not let the fear of man become a snare to you. When David was afraid he trusted in God, and the better way is to trust and then not fear at all. Faith prevents fear as well as cures it. If you have received your faith straight from the throne of God by trusting in the blood of Christ, you have received it from Headquarters and there can be no mistake about it. The opinions of men, whether they praise or insult, cannot alter what God has spoken in His Word, and that Word is our joy because God has spoken a message of mercy and love to us by His Son.

You say you must believe your prayer has already been answered. Take care that faith does not become presumption. True faith does not dictate to God what His answer must be, nor does it demand that He conform to our will. True faith casts itself upon Christ and says, let the Lord do as seemeth Him good, believing that whatsoever we ask according to His will He heareth us. Prayer is indeed the forerunner of mercy. When the sunlight of Gods mercy rises upon our necessities it casts the shadow of prayer far down upon the plain. God piles up a hill of mercies and shines behind them, and the shadow of prayer falls upon our spirits so that we may rest certain that mercy is coming. Often prayer itself gives the mercy, for in pouring out the heart before God the soul finds comfort and direction even before the answer is seen.

You have determined to make this an unspoken prayer, and that is well, for your Father which seeth in secret knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him. You need not publish the matter before men to have it heard in heaven. He that searches the heart knows what is the mind of the Spirit, and Jesus who ever liveth to make intercession is able to show you everything according to His wisdom. Bring your petition again and again into your own chamber and be the Kings remembrancer day and night. The ears of true faith are very quick and keen and hear the footsteps of mercy drawing near.

Yet I beseech you examine your own heart in the light of Scripture. If there are marks of grace in you, to trust Christ is easy, but when you see every mark of everything that is evil, still to come and cast yourself upon Him and believe that He can save even you, this is the faith which honors Christ. Ask above all for a clean heart, for forgiveness through His atoning sacrifice, and for grace to walk in holiness according to His commands. Marriage is ordained of God as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all that pertains to that union belongs within it. Sex and living together outside of that covenant is not according to His holy will. Whatever your unspoken request may be, we cannot ask God to bless what His Word calls sin, but we do ask Him to bless you with repentance where repentance is needed, with purity, with contentment in His will, and with power to do that which is pleasing in His sight.

Therefore we pray with you in Jesus name only, that the tender mercy of our God, who visits us as the dayspring from on high to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, would visit you now. May He grant you remission of sins through faith in Christ, may He quiet your fear with perfect trust, may He answer your unspoken prayer not as your flesh desires but as His infinite love deems best, and may He make you willing to receive His answer as a little child receives the kingdom, with open eyes and a believing heart. If the mercy you seek be according to His will, may He hasten it. If it be otherwise, may He give you grace to submit and still to rejoice that God has spoken, and that His Word is a sure foundation.

We leave you with Him who invites and will not repulse, who commands men everywhere to come and who never shuts the door of mercy in the face of a sinner who comes by Jesus Christ. Continue in prayer, continue in the Word, and continue looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Jesus hears the cry for mercy, and your earnestness in calling upon His name alone is not overlooked. The blind men in the Gospel did the same, they cried out with loud voices alleging nothing but mercy, and though others might have rebuked them, the Lord heard and answered. In this way your prayer is already precious to God, not because of loud words, but because you turn to Christ alone for salvation and help.

You mention that some have mocked this prayer, even comparing it to Moses at the Red Sea. Faith does indeed go beyond human reasoning, as it did there. Israel hoped to pass through the sea and Moses prayed, and God made a way where there was no way. Yet that faith was not a demand that God must act at once or in the manner they dictated, but a humble trust that His mercy would provide what was best. To believe before you see is good, but true faith also waits patiently for God to answer according to His wisdom, and fears to presume upon His mercy.

You also speak of those who insulted your prayer to make themselves look good. This is a grievous thing, but Scripture teaches that our salvation comes not only through believing but also through enduring the same sufferings with patience. Do not return wound for wound. The one who is truly merciful does not strike and then pretend to heal, but seeks to lift up those who have been cast down. If others have wounded you with words, commit that injury to God and continue to show mercy and truth yourself. Let mercy and truth not forsake you, but bind them about your neck as a constant ornament, for we need them every day, not only once or twice.

You say this must now remain an unspoken prayer and that God knows what it is. He does. He knows the heart fully. And prayer does mightily contribute to receiving mercy, yet mercy also seeks out those who make themselves worthy to receive it. This does not mean we earn mercy, for it is grace, but it means we come with a complete prayer, one that concerns both right belief and right living. We need both our part and God's part, our own obedience together with His grace. Therefore as you pray in Jesus name, also ask Him to shape your desires according to His will, to keep you in faith and in a life that pleases Him.

We do not know the details you have chosen to keep unspoken, and we will not presume to ask God to bless whatever is desired if it would run contrary to His revealed good. What we do pray is that you will know the mercy of Christ more deeply, that He will grant you confidence in prayer, steadiness under reproach, and a heart that seeks first His kingdom and His righteousness. May He teach you to persevere as a racer who must finish the whole course, not only one heat, and to trust that His answer, when it comes, will be both merciful and true.

We join our prayers to yours, asking the God of mercies to deliver you, to strengthen your faith and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, and to keep His Spirit with you, so that you may continue with courage and walk in the way that is holy and pleasing to Him.
 
Your prayer for mercy in the name of Jesus alone has been heard, and it is right to bring it to Him alone, because salvation and help come only through Him. God knows the unspoken request you are carrying. He does not need details spelled out to understand the burden on your heart, and prayer is not limited by words or by what others can see or hear.

I understand the sting of being mocked for praying. That kind of insult is often used to discourage those who are seeking God. When Nehemiah and the people were rebuilding, their enemies mocked and despised them to try to stop the work. His response is instructive for you. He prayed, hear us, O God, for we are despised, and then he and the people kept doing what was responsible and right, setting a watch and continuing the work. Prayer was never meant to replace wise and faithful action, and faithful action was never meant to replace prayer. Both belong together.

You expressed a strong desire to believe your prayer is already answered. Scripture describes faith as the confidence in what we hope for and the evidence of what we do not yet see. It is not a technique for forcing an outcome, but a trust in the character of God. Without that trust it is impossible to please Him, and with it men like Abel and Enoch walked with Him and were accepted by Him. True faith looks to God and says, I trust You to do what is good and right according to Your will, not I must make God do what I have decided.

Part of that trust is remembering that many who are held up as examples of faith died still trusting without having received everything they had been promised in this life. They looked forward to the fulfillment God would bring in His time, and their faith was counted as righteousness. God honored their faith even though the answer did not come in the way or the timing they might have expected. Faith does not guarantee that we will avoid hardship or that every request will be answered exactly as we frame it. In fact, the trying of our faith, the proving of what we really believe, is often allowed so that what is real in us becomes clear, not for God to learn about us, for He already knows, but for us to be strengthened.

It is also true that where fear takes over, faith is pushed out, and where faith is present, fear loses its grip. If you are feeling attacked and belittled, it is understandable that fear and hurt would rise up. Bring that fear to the Lord as well and ask Him to replace it with steady trust. Real faith will show itself in life. It is not just saying I believe, but a living trust that changes how we live, how we love others, and how we obey Him. We are saved by grace through faith, not by our works, yet the faith that saves is a living faith that naturally produces a changed life and good works because it is alive.

Persecution and opposition, painful as they are, have often been the time when the faith of believers has grown and their love for one another has increased. When others misunderstand or even use your prayer to make themselves look better, God can use that very difficulty to deepen your dependence on Christ and to purify your motives, so that your prayer is not about being seen by people but about being heard by your Father who sees in secret.

You are right to keep this matter between you and the Lord if that is what brings peace and guards you from further mockery. He knows. Continue to seek Him, to trust that He is good, to walk in obedience, and to let your faith be shown by a life that follows Him. I am praying for you that God would count you worthy of His calling, that He would fulfill His good purpose in you, and that He would strengthen your faith with power, give you patience in any trial, and keep you from being moved from your steadfast trust in Jesus Christ. May He grant you peace as you rest in His mercy and His perfect will.
