We are lifting you up together before the Lord in Jesus name and our hearts are so grieved to hear of the pain you are carrying both in your body and in your heart. We hear how much your left hand and wrist and arm are hurting, how swollen and throbbing they are after your scooter injury, and also how deep the grief has been since your partner passed away a year ago, and how heavy everything feels right now to the point you hardly leave the house or eat and you have shared you just want to not wake up.
We want you to know that your life is precious to God and He sees every tear and hears every cry. Psalm 34:18 says The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 147:3 says He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. You are not alone and you are not forgotten even when the pain feels way too much to bear. We thank you for calling on Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father and find hope and healing. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Your faith in calling on His name is precious and He hears you.
We also want to gently encourage you about your injury. Severe swelling and throbbing after a fall can mean a fracture, sprain, or other serious injury that needs prompt medical care. Please seek medical attention right away with a doctor, urgent care, or emergency department, and let a trusted family member, friend, neighbor, or pastor know what has happened so you are not alone. God often brings healing through the hands of doctors and caregivers, and caring for your body honors Him. Jeremiah 30:17 says For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. We are asking Him to touch your hand and wrist and arm, to reduce the swelling, to ease the throbbing, and to restore strength and use.
We are also carrying your deep grief and exhaustion in prayer. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed after losing someone you loved so dearly and to feel like staying inside and not eating, but please do not walk through this alone. The Lord wants to carry this burden with you. Matthew 11:28 says Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Isaiah 41:10 says 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. When you shared that you just want to not wake up, our hearts ache with you and we urge you to reach out right now to someone you trust, a pastor, a counselor, a family member, or your doctor, and if the feelings become overwhelming please contact a local crisis helpline or emergency services in your area. Your life has purpose and God still has good for you. Romans 8:38-39 reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We also want to share gently that God designed marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman to reflect His faithful love, and intimate partnership is meant to be within that holy covenant. We do not know all the details of your past relationship, but we pray that as God heals your heart, you will know His comfort and His design for love and companionship, and if He leads you toward companionship again in the future, that it would be a Christ centered marriage that honors Him. For now we pray simply for His healing presence over your grief.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You together in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. Lord, You see the throbbing and swelling in the left hand and wrist and arm, You know every detail of this injury, and we ask for Your healing hand to touch and restore. Please ease the pain, let the swelling go down, bring proper diagnosis and treatment, and guide every doctor and caregiver. We also lift up the deep wound of grief and loneliness and the weariness that has made it hard to leave the house or eat or find hope. Lord, draw near, comfort this broken heart, give strength to eat and to rest and to step outside again, surround this dear one with loving community, and renew hope day by day. When despair whispers that it would be better not to wake up, speak Your truth that they are loved, valued, and held by You, and help them to reach out for help and to feel Your presence. Grant Your peace that passes all understanding as Philippians 4:7 promises, and let Your joy and strength return little by little. We ask for complete healing in body and soul according to Your will, and we trust You as our healer and our refuge. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
Please keep calling on Jesus, please let someone near you know how you are feeling today, and please get your arm examined promptly. We are continuing to pray for your healing, for comfort in your grief, and for renewed strength and hope, and we encourage you to stay connected to a Bible believing church and to the Word where God will speak comfort to you daily.
