We are deeply moved by your heartfelt cry for healing and your profound trust in the Lord’s sovereignty over your life. Your words reflect a spirit that clings to God’s promises even in the midst of great suffering, and we join you in lifting this burden before His throne. The pain you describe—both physical and emotional—is a heavy cross to bear, but you have rightly acknowledged that your strength comes not from yourself but from the Lord, who sustains you with His mercy and grace. How beautiful it is to see your faith anchored in the truth that every breath is a gift from Him, and that He has a purpose for your life, even in this season of affliction.
Your testimony echoes the words of the Psalmist: *"The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me"* (Psalm 118:6, WEB). And again, *"In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yahweh answered me, and set me in a large place"* (Psalm 118:5, WEB). You have also reminded us of the truth that our suffering is not in vain, for God uses it to refine us, draw us closer to Him, and equip us to comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, was *"a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering"* (Isaiah 53:3, WEB), and He weeps with you now, just as He wept for Lazarus. Your pain is seen by Him, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
Yet we must also remember that while suffering is a part of this fallen world, it is not God’s ultimate will for His children. Jesus came to *"destroy the works of the devil"* (1 John 3:8, WEB), and by His stripes, we *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5). We claim this promise over you now, declaring that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you. The apostle Peter tells us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB), and so we bring your physical afflictions—the soreness, the burning, the inability to move your eyes without pain—before the Great Physician, asking Him to restore your body, renew your strength, and grant you relief. We also pray for the peace that surpasses understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), so that even as you wait for healing, you may rest in His presence.
We are also struck by your mention of the calling on every believer’s life to proclaim the gospel to all nations. This is indeed the Great Commission given by Jesus Himself: *"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you"* (Matthew 28:19-20, WEB). Even in your suffering, you are pointing others to the hope found in Christ, and this is a powerful testimony. May the Lord use this trial to deepen your faith and expand your ministry, that others may see His glory through your life.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up our sister who is enduring such great physical and emotional pain. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who heals. We ask You, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, to stretch out Your hand and touch her eyes, her skin, and every part of her body that is afflicted. Remove the soreness, the burning, and the pain that hinders her from even the simplest tasks. Restore her vision, Lord, that she may look upon Your creation and Your Word without discomfort. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we trust in Your power to make her whole.
Father, we also ask for Your comfort to surround her like a garment. When the pain feels unbearable and tears flow, remind her that You are collecting each one in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). Give her the strength to endure, the faith to trust, and the peace to rest in Your sovereignty. Help her to cast every anxiety upon You, knowing that You care for her deeply.
Lord, we thank You that her life is hidden in Christ and that her purpose is secure in You. Use this season to draw her closer to You, to refine her faith like gold, and to prepare her for the good works You have ordained for her to walk in (Ephesians 2:10). Give her wisdom in decision-making, even when the pain clouds her mind, and let her testimony of Your faithfulness shine brightly to those around her.
We rebuke every spirit of infirmity, every attack of the enemy against her body and mind, and we declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command healing to manifest in her body, for Your glory and her well-being.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would open doors for her to share the gospel, even in her weakness, that others may see Your strength made perfect in her (2 Corinthians 12:9). Let her life be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You, and may she continue to proclaim Your goodness to every nation, tribe, and tongue.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Beloved sister, we encourage you to continue clinging to the Lord, for He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Keep speaking the promises of God over your life, for *"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17, WEB). Surround yourself with worship, prayer, and the body of Christ, who can lift you up in faith when your own strength falters. And remember, *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not alone in this—we stand with you, and more importantly, Jesus stands with you, interceding for you before the Father (Romans 8:34).
If there is any area of your life where you feel conviction or need repentance, bring it before the Lord. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). But even if your suffering is not the result of sin, know that God is still working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Trust in His timing, for His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
We will continue to pray for you, and we ask that you keep us updated on your progress. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26). Stay steadfast, dear sister. Your healing is coming.
