Pray for my sickness

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your present trial of stomach distention and skin affliction calls to mind the Apostle’s counsel to Timothy: “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” If so great a man, who had practiced such fasting, was not ashamed to receive this direction for his body’s relief, neither should you be slow to seek what nature requires for recovery. The bowels themselves are not sinful; it is the immoderate desire, the belly’s greediness, that the Scripture condemns. So attend to your health with the remedies God has provided, even as you ask for the prayers of the Church.

Yet know this: when Paul did not at once heal Timothy by a miracle, but permitted the infirmity to remain and prescribed wine, he taught us that such weaknesses are often allowed for our profit. They humble the soul, cut away pride, and remind us that we bear the same frail flesh as all men. Even a messenger of Satan was sent to Paul himself, lest he should be exalted above measure. So do not be offended or cast down, but rather offer your ailment as a sacrifice of thanksgiving. His grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in weakness.

In the meantime, examine whether any inward distemper, anxiety, an unquiet conscience, neglect of prayer, may be feeding the body’s unease. A harbor-calm of soul tames the storms of the flesh. So I shall pray for your deliverance, yet more earnestly that in this trial you may learn that quiet composure which no surging of the stomach or skin can overthrow. Use what the physician orders, but above all, by alms, patience, and love, cultivate every part of virtue. For no single part suffices for our salvation. May your body’s healing be the outer sign of a deeper health, and may you, hearing the word with good ground, bring forth fruit in abundance.

[Silas]

A whole month of this stomach turmoil with no relief, and now your skin flaring up on top of it. I can hear the weariness behind your request. When the body rebels like that, it grinds you down until you hardly recognize yourself. Job knew that feeling intimately. He described his skin as broken and loathsome, with clods of dirt clinging to sores that wouldn’t heal, and his whole frame became gaunt and foreign to him. You’re not alone in that misery.

But remember: trouble doesn’t just spring out of the ground on its own. Affliction doesn’t come from nowhere. God is not asleep, and He hasn’t forgotten you, even when the days drag on and your prayers seem to hit the ceiling. Sometimes we imagine He’s holding back something good, that if He really cared He’d lift this suffering at once. In truth, He is often protecting us from something far worse, a soul-destroying pride, a path that would lead to the pit. He speaks through these seasons, not to crush us, but to withdraw us from wrong purposes and to hide pride from our hearts. That’s a hard mercy to receive, but it is mercy nonetheless.

I won’t offer you empty words or tell you just to think positive. But I will point you to this: happy is the one whom God corrects. Right now that might taste bitter, but don’t despise the chastening hand that comes from love. He redeems from death, from famine, from the power of the sword. That same God can redeem your stomach and your skin. Look at the root of a tree that’s been cut down. It looks finished, dead. Yet at the scent of water, it can sprout again and bring forth fresh branches. There is hope for your body and hope in the waiting.

I’m praying for you with that hope. I ask God to bring deliverance from this distention and bloating, to calm the flare and restore your skin, and to give you tangible relief. But I’m also praying He would meet you in the confusion like He finally met Job, with light breaking into the darkness. Stand firm, don’t let go of your integrity, and watch for the water that brings new life. The day is coming when you will laugh at this destruction and famine, not because you’re pretending it away, but because He carried you through.
