We hear your sadness and the heaviness you are carrying with these many health burdens and we lift you up together before our Father in prayer.

We know how discouraging it feels when weight will not come off, when colds and coughing and a sore throat and runny nose will not let up, when allergies flare and a rash breaks out on your hand in the cold, when yeast infections and itching and troubles with your menstrual cycle make you feel like your body is a mess. The Lord sees every one of these afflictions and He cares deeply for you. We pray for your appointment on October 8th, that you and your mom would be able to get there on time, without traffic or delay, and that the doctors would have wisdom to help you.

We also noticed you called out to Father God many times, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is by trusting in Jesus, His death and resurrection for our sins, that our prayers are heard and we have hope of healing and eternal life. We encourage you to call upon Him by name.

The Scripture reminds us that our bodies are precious to God. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. God wants us to steward our health with wisdom while trusting Him for strength. Beloved, we pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers 3 John 1:2. He is the One who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3, and who promises, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and we lift up this dear one to You. You see her struggle with weight gain, with constant colds, coughing, sore throat and runny nose, with allergies and with a painful rash on her hand and the difficulty finding a dermatologist. You see the discomfort of yeast infections and itching and the distress when her menstrual cycle acts up. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon her body from head to toe. Ease her breathing, soothe her throat, calm the cough and clear the congestion. Bring balance to her body, help with weight according to Your will and give her strength and wisdom to care for the temple You have given her. Provide the right doctors and the right treatment, and open the door to see a dermatologist who can help with her hand. Restore her health as only You can.

Lord, we also bring her appointment on October 8th before You. We ask that You make a way for her and her mother to arrive on time, keep them safe on the road, and remove any obstacle of traffic or delay. Give peace to her anxious heart about being late, for Your Word says, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. Help her to cast her cares on You and to rest in Your care through the day and through the night.

We pray You would draw near to her in this sadness, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. Remind her that she is not alone, that You will strengthen her and uphold her, as You promise, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not 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 Isaiah 41:10.

We ask all of this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer, amen.

We have read your message and we hear how heavy this has felt. Dealing with weight changes, a constant cough and sore throat and runny nose, itching and cycle changes, and a rash on your hand that flares in the cold, all at once, can leave anyone feeling worn down and discouraged. It makes sense you are tired.

We are glad you have an appointment coming up on October 8th and we are praying you are able to get there on time and without added stress. One practical step that may help is to make a short written list before you go of all the symptoms you want to mention, including the rash while you are waiting to see dermatology, and to confirm the time and ride with your mom the evening before and plan to leave a little early to allow for traffic. That way you can share everything clearly with the clinician who knows you.

Please keep bringing each of these concerns to your medical team so they can give you safe, personal care. We are praying with you alongside that care, not instead of it, and we are asking God to give you strength for each day and night as you wait.

Father, we lift our sister to You. You see her discomfort, her worry about getting to this appointment, and her longing to feel better. Grant her rest, steady her heart, and give wisdom to her clinicians to listen well and guide her next steps. Let her know Your nearness and care today. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How gracious is our God to hear the cry of those who are weary in body and troubled in spirit, and how tenderly does He regard all your afflictions. You have laid before the Lord a great burden of infirmities, a sore throat and cough, a running nose, the distress of allergies and colds, the rash upon your hand, the recurring yeast infections and trouble with your monthly course, and the heaviness you feel concerning your weight. He knows your frame and remembers that you are dust, and not a sigh escapes His notice.

Be comforted to know that our Lord Jesus Christ is not a stranger to suffering. He Himself has suffered being tempted and tried in His own body, and therefore He is able to sympathize with those who suffer. The Scripture speaks of Him as the Sun of Righteousness with healing beneath His wings, and of the tree of life whose leaves were for the healing of the nations. There is an abundance of healing power in Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but even the leaves, the least things about Christ, are full of healing virtue. These healing leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. When He healed the man sick of the palsy He said, Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you, showing that pardon and healing are joined together in His hand.

Let us pray together for you before the throne of grace.

O Lord our God, look in mercy upon this afflicted one who comes to You in much weakness. Forgive all sin through the blood of Christ and let pardon and healing flow from the same blessed hand. Lay Your healing touch upon the throat and lungs, ease the cough, dry the running nose, and calm the irritation of allergies. Give relief from itching and infection, regulate and strengthen the body in its courses, and heal the rash upon the hand. Grant wisdom to physicians and bring in due time the help of a dermatologist. For the matter of weight, grant grace to steward the body which is Your temple, with temperance and strength, and remove all fear and distress of heart. And in Your providence, we ask that You would order the way on the eighth day of October, that the mother may be kept in safety, that no hindrance of traffic or delay may prevent the appointment, and that all things may be ordered in Your good time. Help this dear soul to make it through this day and the night that follows, sustained by Your long suffering and tender care.

Take heart and wait upon the Lord. Seek Him first for the healing of the soul, for that is the greater mercy, and trust Him for the healing of the body as it shall please His wisdom. Use diligently the means He has provided in physicians and proper care, for the Lord often works His healing through such instruments, while your ultimate confidence rests in Christ alone who was made perfect through suffering that He might be a perfect Saviour to His people. Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you, and He will not suffer you to be tried beyond what you are able to bear.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace in Christ Jesus. Amen.
