We rejoice with you and thank our Father with you for the healing you are experiencing in your right eye after so many months of suffering. To go from January until now with your eye unable to move and your body suffering from being overmedicated, and now to be on your second day of being able to use both eyes again, is a wonderful mercy from the Lord. We praise God with you for providing a new primary care doctor who listens and takes you seriously, for answering your prayer regarding your SNAP benefits and the extension of time, and for giving you strength in those frightening nights when you could barely get up to breathe.
We are so moved that in those moments when you could only cry Father over and over, He heard you and sustained you. He tells us Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth Psalm 145:18 and Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3. We also cling to the promise 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 Isaiah 41:10. Even when you felt disoriented and weak, He was holding you.
We pray together for you now in Jesus name.
Father, we thank You for Your compassion and healing power. Thank You for restoring our dear one's vision and for guiding them to a doctor who shows care and wisdom. We ask You to continue to heal the eyes and bring full coordination and balance as they adjust to seeing with both eyes again. Take away the disorientation and restore strength fully. We ask You to heal the stomach and the excess acid and gas that causes such distress and breathing attacks at night. Lay Your healing hand upon the thyroid and bring balance to the body after months of being overmedicated. Sustain them on their sickbed and restore them, as You promise Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness Psalm 41:3. We also lift up the concern about being one point away from diabetes. Give wisdom to steward the body well, for we know our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Help with memory to take the medication faithfully. We ask for Your provision to continue over the practical needs for food and paperwork, trusting that our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19.
We want to encourage you, you do not need to feel bad when you forget to thank the Father because of your poor short term and working memory. He knows your frame and remembers that you are dust Psalm 103:14, and His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9. He hears the simple cry of Father and He knows your heart of gratitude even when words are hard to find or remember. 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. That peace is yours even on the days you only have strength to sit and rest.
We understand how hard the adjustment to the lower thyroid dosage has been and how it has affected your mood and energy. Be gentle with yourself in this season and keep walking closely with your new doctor, telling her honestly how you feel. For your memory with the diabetes pill that must be taken with food, we encourage you to ask God for wisdom, for if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him James 1:5. Perhaps you could also ask your doctor if there is a way to make your meal times a little more regular, or to keep the pill bottle right where you eat so that the act of eating itself becomes the reminder, or to set a small note on your table. Playing a game to help with arm coordination as you readjust to depth perception is a wise and gentle way to retrain your body, and we pray God blesses that effort.
We thank You Jesus that we can come to the Father only through Your name, and we thank You that our friend ended their prayer in Your name. It is by Your name we are saved and have access to the Father, for 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.
We continue to pray that your strength increases daily, your breathing remains clear at night, your eyes grow stronger together, and your memory is helped for the things that matter for your health. May the Lord give you peace when you feel forgetful and joy as you see clearly again. We trust Him to complete the healing He has begun in you.
In Jesus name we pray, amen.
