SUFFERING

We have heard your cry and we join with you in this time of suffering and weakness, lifting you up before our Heavenly Father together in Jesus' name.
We know what it is to feel very weak, and the Word of God tells us that this is often where God's strength is most clearly seen. He does not despise our weakness but draws near to us in it. Isaiah 40:29 says He gives power to the faint and to him who has no might he increases strength. And 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.
The apostle Paul learned this truth when he pleaded for his own suffering to be removed, and the Lord answered him in 2 Corinthians 12:9, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore Paul could say, When I am weak, then am I strong, because Christ's power was resting upon him. We also cling to Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me, and to Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When our own heart and flesh fail, Psalm 73:26 reminds us that God is the strength of our heart and our portion forever.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and find true strength and salvation. Jesus himself said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 tells us 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. It is by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, and confessing Him as Lord, that we are saved and can come boldly to the throne of grace to find help in time of need as Romans 10:9 teaches. If you have not already, we encourage you to call upon His name and put your trust fully in Him, for He alone is our source of enduring strength.
We pray with you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one who is suffering and feels very weak. Lord, You see the burden and the weariness, and You know every detail of this suffering. We ask that You pour out Your strength upon this weak body and weary spirit. Uphold this dear one with Your righteous right hand, renew strength like the eagle's as promised in Isaiah 40:31, and let Your grace be sufficient for each moment. Grant peace that surpasses understanding, comfort in affliction, and the assurance that You are near to the brokenhearted. Help this dear one to wait upon You, to trust not in personal strength but in Christ who strengthens us, and to know that Your power is made perfect in weakness. Lead this dear one into a deeper relationship with Jesus, to call upon His name for salvation and for daily sustaining grace. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him daily in prayer and in His Word, to cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you as 1 Peter 5:7 says, and to let fellow believers know of your need so they can bear your burden with you. Even in suffering, God is working for good for those who love Him as Romans 8:28 teaches, and He will not let you be tested beyond what you can bear but will provide a way through. Keep looking to Jesus, for He will give you the strength for each day.

We are grateful you reached out and told us honestly that you are suffering and feel very weak. We hear how heavy this feels, and we are praying for you.
Being weak does not mean you are failing. It often means you have been carrying more than one person can carry alone for a long time. God is not far off from that place. He understands human weakness from the inside and He stays near when strength is low.
In our experience, even in very weak seasons God has often left small signs of strength in a person, the courage to ask for prayer as you just did, a caring relationship, a habit of turning to Him, a past hard season you came through. Noticing one of those and leaning on it a little today can be a way to let God support you, rather than trying to manufacture strength on your own.
A gentle next step could be to let one trusted person know today exactly what you told us, that you feel weak and need prayer and presence. You do not need a long explanation, just an honest word so someone nearby can walk with you. If your weakness feels physical too, please reach out to a doctor or pastor in person as well, while we continue to pray.
Father, we lift our friend to You. You see this suffering and this weariness. Give daily strength, quiet comfort, and the help of caring people nearby. Draw near and carry what feels too heavy today. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your cry has come before the Lord and before His people, and we do not take it lightly when a soul confesses, I am very weak. Human strength is of many kinds, but in any form it will spend itself in due time. Though a man had the strength of a lion and an ox combined, he would one day fail. This is true of the body and of the mind, and it is true also of the spirit when it leans upon itself.
There is a word which the Lord has given for such an hour as yours, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." To wait upon the Lord is to trust wholly in the merit of Jesus Christ, to look to Him alone for pardon and for power, and to abide in His presence as a servant waits upon his master. Apart from Him our strength dies out, but with God in a man, that man is strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The joy of the Lord then becomes his strength, and the Lord Jehovah is his song and his salvation.
Do not be cast down because you feel your weakness so keenly. We are never weak in our God, we are always weak in ourselves, and that weakness in the flesh is often the very channel through which spiritual strength is displayed. It is written of those who pleased God by faith, that out of weakness were made strong. God does not despise the confession of infirmity, He makes it the occasion to show His power. When we cannot pray for strength while abiding in sinful weakness, we may earnestly plead for strength to come out of it and to be made strong in Christ.
Remember also that your suffering is not unknown to your Savior. It is written, He Himself has suffered being tempted, and He is able to succor them that are tempted. Christ was made a perfect Savior through sufferings, not that He was ever imperfect in character, for He was perfect God and perfect man, but that He might be touched with the feeling of our infirmities and make a ladder between earth and heaven. As long as He was here He was the acquaintance of grief, and He suffered for sins not His own that He might bring us to God. Therefore He knows your frame, He knows what it is to be weary and tried, and His pity moves Him to give Himself to the business of succoring His tempted people.
So we would urge you, do not look to fine words or to any strength of your own, for the glory of our strength lies in God alone and in the Holy Spirit who dwells in His people. Wait upon the Lord. Look again to the cross where pardon is found in His blood and justification in His righteousness. Ask to be strengthened with strength in the Lord, which is of all things most desirable, and which He delights to give gradually and graciously to those who seek Him.
We pray for you now.
O Lord our God, who gives power to the faint and increases strength to them that have no might, look upon this suffering one who confesses weakness before You. Forgive all sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, and let this soul wait upon You and renew its strength. Lift up the feeble knees and strengthen the weak hands. Out of weakness make strong, and let faith lay hold upon Christ who suffered for us that He might succor us. Let this tried one mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint, and in due time leap out of this frail body into Your presence and glory, if it be Your will, or else abide here strong in the Lord to glorify You in suffering. We ask it for Jesus sake. Amen.
