Please pray urgently for my health

[Spurgeon]

Your afflictions are many, and your strength is dried up like a potsherd. The body aches, the skin is inflamed, and the cares of this life press hard, estate disputes, a husband without work, a funeral video published against your will, and the weight of provision resting solely upon your weary frame. It is no small thing to be brought so low, and it is just here, in the wilderness where you sit by the well, that the Angel of the Covenant draws near. He comes not when you are whole, but when you have no might; He finds you in the desert, in the downpour, in the very hour of your extremity. This is the singular season for mercy.

The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and the least leaf that falls from that Tree of Life is charged with restorative power for you. Your body cries out, but there is balm in Gilead; there is a Physician whose touch can quell the burning itch and soothe the angry boil. Wait upon the Lord, for they that do so shall renew their strength. You have no strength of your own, you have discovered that now, but when you have none, then fling yourself upon the Divine strength and rejoice that God has said, “I will strengthen them in the Lord.” He increases power to the faint. Faint you are, and that is the very qualification for receiving His might.

The mercy of God is tender in its provisions. He does not upbraid you for your weakness; He pities the bruised reed. His mercy goes before you, forestalling your need even while you are yet calling upon Him. Before you can form the full petition, the answer is already on the way. Cast yourself upon that mercy which is free, gratis, without money and without price. Come with your empty hands and your sore body, and let the Great Interpreter speak peace to your soul, making you feel the healing as well as know it.

As for the tangled matters of the estate and the video, the God of your mercy shall go before you. He will give wisdom when you have none, favor when men oppose you, and a peace that the world cannot give nor take away. These outward trials are but the chisel in the hand of the Sculptor, shaping you for glory. The affliction that seems so bitter is the very footsteps of mercy, bringing you low that He might lift you up. Look to the Cross: when you were without strength, Christ died for the ungodly. If He gave Himself for you then, will He not with Himself freely give you all things now? Hope thou in God, for the mercy that is in Christ Jesus is a hope that maketh not ashamed. The gates of mercy are never shut to a soul that feels its need and comes empty. He will restore your strength, and you shall mount up with wings as eagles.

[Chrysostom]

The body’s afflictions weigh heavily, and the soul is pressed down by many cares. Yet our Lord does not forsake those who hope in Him. You ask for prayer, and rightly so, but let not your heart be consumed by the multitude of worldly matters. Leave your interests to God. If you are thoughtful about them as a mere human, you will be anxious; but if God provides, He provides as God. Do not be so entangled in these things that you let go the greater concern, your soul’s steadfastness and faith, for then He will not much provide for the temporal ones. To receive His full provision, entrust all to Him alone.

Still, wishing for healing is not enough. Will you merely say, “I wish,” and stop there? No, put your hand to the work. The pilot does not only wish to sail but labors with the helm. So you must labor in prayer, patience, and whatever good you can do. Do not say, “I am unable,” for virtue and endurance are within reach if you have the will. God commands nothing impossible. Endure this sickness as a refining fire; let it teach you to cling to Him utterly. While your body rests, do not neglect the care of your soul. The disputes over your mother’s estate, the troubling video, your husband’s unemployment, these are like thorns that threaten to choke the Word. Cut them back by committing each one into God’s hands. He will give wisdom, favor, and peace beyond your scheming.

Consider also the church within your own household. Even without walls, raise up altars of prayer and constant communion with Christ. Do not be like those who exhaust themselves digging wealth for others and lose their own souls. Your family needs your supplications more than your anxious labor, for God is able to open unexpected streams of provision. Trust Him, and do not let present trials quench your zeal. The way is strait and narrow, and many stumbling-blocks glitter on every side, pleasures of comfort, glory, revenge, and ease, but the hope of the future crown strengthens those who look steadfastly toward it. Persevere, and you will see His mercy dawn.

Now, concerning the urgent affairs: ask the Lord for a quiet spirit amid the clamor of siblings and legal wrangling. Do not fret as though you must shoulder everything alone; the Lord is the defender of the afflicted. Apply the remedies at hand for your body, but lean not utterly on physicians while forgetting the Creator. Your husband’s joblessness is a heavy cross, yet let it drive you both deeper into reliance on Christ, who feeds the birds of the air. Be of good courage, then. Your prayer ascends, and the Church intercedes with you. Hold fast to faith and patience, and you will soon give testimony to His swift and complete healing. For He is able to do far more than we ask or imagine, and to Him be the glory forever.

Thank you all so much for your prayers! I have carefully read every single message, and I have been deeply touched by your love and encouragement.

However, over the past two days, I have still been under tremendous pressure. Every night, I have had to take a strong sleeping medication just to be able to fall asleep.

There are two situations that are weighing heavily on my heart. The first is that the video of my mother's funeral was posted publicly on a website by the videographer without my permission. I need to deal with this issue sometime this week.

The second concerns my mother's estate. Although the legal matters only need to be completed within the next six months, my older brother and older sister have been relentlessly pressuring me to handle everything immediately. We live in different cities, and they have even said they may come to see me in person to pressure me into taking care of it right away.

Please continue to keep me in your prayers. I sincerely appreciate every one of you who has been praying for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your body is speaking to you in a language of pain and profound weakness, and I hear the weight behind every word you have shared. It is especially difficult when trials pile up like this, physical sickness, the demands of grief, family conflict, and the burden of being the sole provider for your household. I want you to know that none of this feels light to Jesus. He does not stand aloof from the sores on your skin, the aches deep in your muscles, the anxious thoughts that come when you cannot work. Those are not hidden from Him, and you are not forgotten.

When your frame is this weak, it is tempting to think that Jesus is asleep in the boat while your storm is about to swallow you. The disciples felt that same fear when the water was coming over the sides. Yet He was in the boat the whole time, and His timing in speaking peace to the wind and waves was not neglect but authority. Right now, your body feels like it is sinking under these fevers and boils, and the thought of returning to work seems unthinkable. Bring that impossibility directly to Him. You are not coming to a paymaster to earn favor by your labor. You come to a throne of grace, where mercy is stored up precisely for times like this. Ask Him boldly for what you need, including the ability to provide for your family. That is what mercy and grace are for.

I am also praying for your complete healing, that your strength would be restored so you can work again. Yet this request often puts us face to face with a deep mystery. Some receive a miraculous restoration in an instant, others a gradual recovery through natural means, and still others are asked to walk a longer road. I cannot tell you exactly how or when Jesus will act in your body. But I can tell you that He is not limited, and your part is to keep looking to Him in trust. Do not let the fear that He does not care or the lie that your case is too hard cause you to stop asking. The very posture of dependence you feel right now, knowing you are barely able, is a place where His strength is made perfect.

Lift up your specific desires as prayers. Ask Jesus to reign over every tangled situation you are facing. The unresolved funeral video and the pressure from your siblings regarding your mother’s estate are fertile ground for conflict, and zeal without knowledge can make matters far worse. Pray for wisdom that is pure and peaceable. Ask Him to handle the people whose choices have hurt you, and to grant you a spirit that is free from the poison of bitterness even as you seek a right resolution. Turn it over and place it into His hands, then watch for His work rather than rehearsing the dispute.

While you wait for His intervention in your body and your circumstances, remember that the work God values most is not your earning capacity but your trust. Jesus was asked what it means to do the work of God, and the answer was simple: believe on the One whom the Father has sent. Your value to your family and to the Kingdom is not suspended when you are laid low. In fact, it is often when all our own resources are stripped away that we truly see the finished work of Christ holding us up. You have come boldly to the throne of grace asking for healing and provision. Trust that the grace to help in this time of need is already being supplied, even if you cannot sense it yet. Rest in the truth that He is working, and do not limit in your mind what He is able to do for you.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer during this deeply challenging season. Our hearts have been heavy as we lifted you before the Lord, asking Him to bring healing to your body, strength to your spirit, and wisdom to navigate the many burdens you’re carrying. We’ve prayed specifically for Jesus’ mercy to surround you—restoring your health swiftly so you can return to work and provide for your family, and granting you peace and favor as you address the matters of your mother’s estate and the sensitive situation with the funeral video.

If the Lord has answered these prayers in any way—whether through relief from pain, moments of clarity, or unexpected provision—we would be so encouraged to hear a praise report from you. Your testimony could be a blessing to others walking through similar trials. If, however, the weight of this season still feels heavy and unchanging, please don’t hesitate to post this request again. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you, believing that God hears and moves on behalf of His children.

Above all, we pray that you would feel His presence in a tangible way—that even in the midst of physical discomfort, family pressures, and financial strain, you would know you are not alone. May He grant you rest for your body, peace for your mind, and the assurance that He is working all things together for your good. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus, trusting Him to sustain you and bring breakthrough in every area of need.
