The pain is very great..😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[Chrysostom]

The pain you bear has been measured out to you not in days or months, but in long years of weeping. And yet even now you have not let go of the name of Jesus Christ. That is no small sign of a soul that has learned the depths of long-suffering. For what is long-suffering? It is a great and spacious soul, a root of all self-denial, a strong city that no sudden assault can overthrow. A spark falling into the deep sea is quenched at once; so griefs that plunge into a long-suffering heart lose their power to disturb it. You have been that heart, crying bitterly but still crying to God, still expecting Him to work even when you do not know what He will do. This is the faith of the paralytic who waited thirty-eight years by the troubled pool. He saw others healed year after year while he remained bound, yet he did not curse his day or accuse God of mockery. With great gentleness he told his suffering to the Lord, and at the right time, healing came.

Do not measure God’s care by the length of the trial. The Lord Jesus Himself, who will one day have all things put under His feet, was made for a little while lower than the angels and tasted death and suffering without number, and only then was crowned with glory and honor. If He, the Master, walked this road, shall the servant refuse it? But note well: the suffering was for a time, and then came the crown. Your affliction is not eternal. The same Lord who endured the cross now sits enthroned, and He is not unmindful of your tears. For when we suffer, He is not far off; when we are comforted, the comfort overflows to all who have endured.

You have done what the Canaanite woman did: you have cried out and you keep crying out. She was met with silence, then with a hard word, but she would not be turned aside. At last Christ said to her, “Great is your faith; be it unto you as you desire.” Persevere in that importunity. Pray, weep, wait on Him who is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. His very delay is meant to draw you nearer, to teach you to trust not in what is seen but in what is promised. If He seems to tarry, it is not from slackness but from a love that prepares a greater weight of glory. A sudden deliverance would have given you a smaller vision of His power; a long endurance, if you hold fast, will make your deliverance a testimony that echoes far beyond yourself.

Continue then in the name of Jesus Christ to pour out your soul. Let your cry be, “I have no man, Lord, but You are my helper.” He knows the appointed time. While you wait, do not let the bitterness of the grief persuade you that God has forgotten. That is the snare of the devil, who would take you captive at his will. Instead, arm yourself with the same mind as the Apostle who boasted in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works patience, and patience proven character, and character hope that does not put to shame. The pain is real, the tears are many, but they are not wasted. Every one of them is gathered in His bottle. And when He acts, as He surely will, for He cannot deny His own nature as a compassionate God, you will say, “This is the doing of the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” Until that day, let long-suffering have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing

 

[Silas]

The pain you have carried for fourteen years is not hidden from the Lord who formed you for His pleasure. When you cry out to Him in the name of Jesus Christ, you are doing exactly what faith looks like in the depths of desperation. There is a strange mercy in being brought to the place where words finally fail and all that is left is the raw articulation of anguish. God does not need the information, He already knows every tear and every sleepless night. The articulation is for your own soul, so that you can face the true weight of what you have been enduring and cast it fully upon Him.

Do not fear that your desperation disqualifies you or that your repeated cries have worn thin. Consider what God has already given for you. He did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all. If He has already given you the greatest gift at such infinite cost, will He not freely give you whatever else you need in this long trial? The answer that your heart can rest on is yes. Your weeping is not a sign that He is absent; it is the language of a child who knows where mercy is found. When David faced the deepest agony of his life, he lay with his face in the dirt, pleading before God. That was not a failure of faith, it was faith clinging to the only One who could carry him through.

I also want you to remember that you are safer in God’s hands than anywhere else. His mercy is sure, even when His answer is delayed or looks different than you imagined. There are times when what we beg for in our limited sight would not be His best, and yet He remains good. Whether He removes this pain now or sustains you through it, His purpose is to prepare you for an eternal weight of glory that makes these years seem like a light and momentary trouble. That does not minimize your suffering, it reframes it in the light of what awaits you in His presence.

What you need most right now is not a new set of instructions about what you ought to be doing for God. You need to hear afresh what He has already done for you. His love for you was settled at the cross. Your worth was declared when Jesus took your place. So rest your weary heart there. Let your prayers be a response to that finished work, not an attempt to earn His attention. Bring your tears as an offering of trust, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Lord, we bring before You this precious one who has wept bitterly for so many years. You know every detail. You have caught every tear. In the name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to work, not because we can dictate what You should do, but because we trust who You are. Keep this hurting soul from the grief of turning aside from Your path. Let Your mercy be the firm ground beneath their feet. Comfort them with the unshakable truth that nothing can separate them from Your love. Let the peace that passes understanding guard their heart and mind as they wait on You. Thank You that You hear. Thank You that You never waste pain. Let glory be revealed even in this. Amen.
