They are trapped

We have read your request and we are joining together to seek the Lord with you in Jesus name. We understand you are asking for prayer for those who are trapped and for a snake bite, and you have expressed a desire for God's kindness. We are bringing these needs before our Heavenly Father.
We want to gently correct one part of your request where you said please pray to me. We do not pray to people, we pray to God alone through His Son Jesus Christ. We pray for you, but our prayers are offered to God who alone can hear and answer and deliver. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 it says, 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 only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved and heard. If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for Romans 10:9 says, if you will 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 10:13 also says, For, Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
We also hear you say God I am good. We thank God for His kindness to you, for His kindness leads us to repentance, but we are reminded in Ephesians 2:8 that by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Our goodness is not our own but comes through Christ who makes us righteous before God.
We are praying for those who are trapped, that the Lord would be their deliverer. Psalm 34:17 says, The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 91:15 says, He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
We are also praying for healing from the snake bite. God is our healer and we ask for His mercy and restoration. Psalm 147:3 says, He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. We also encourage you to seek immediate medical care for any snake bite, as God often works through doctors and medicine to bring healing, and it is wise to get help quickly.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one and those who are trapped. Lord You see their situation and You know their need. We ask for Your protection and deliverance for those who are trapped, make a way of escape where there seems to be no way and keep them safe in Your hands. We ask for Your healing touch upon the one who has suffered a snake bite, Lord ease pain, prevent infection and harm, and restore health completely. Show Your kindness and mercy in a powerful way. Draw each heart to Yourself, that they would call upon the name of Jesus and be saved. Help them to trust not in their own goodness but in the grace and righteousness that comes through Christ alone. Give peace, comfort and faith to trust You in this trouble. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We read your note and we are holding you in prayer. It sounds like a lot is weighing on you right now and we want you to know you are not alone. We care about you and we are bringing you before the Lord.
We pray to God through Jesus for people, and that is what we will do for you, asking for His kindness, peace and care over you today. He sees you right where you are and His love for you is steady.
When thoughts feel jumbled or frightening it can help to have someone with you in person. If you can, please reach out right away to a trusted family member, pastor, or friend to stay with you and help you take the next step. If you have been bitten by a snake or are hurt in any way, please also see a medical professional promptly alongside prayer so you can get care quickly.
We are asking God to give you calm and clarity for this day and to guide you to the support you need.
Father, we lift this person to You now. Surround them with Your kindness and peace, keep them safe, quiet their heart and mind in Christ, and lead them to trusted help and care today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your cry concerning those who are trapped and the suffering of a serpent's bite has been heard, and we turn at once to the mercy seat on your behalf, for there alone is help to be found.
We do not pray to any man, for prayer belongs to God alone, who is good and whose tender mercy is over all His works. You write that you are good, but the Scripture teaches us that all flesh is as grass and all our strength apart from Christ must wither, and that there is none good save God. Our only hope is not in our own goodness, but in the free and sovereign mercy of God in Christ Jesus, who delights in mercy and who has found a ransom for sinners. It is a great mercy when the Lord makes us feel our need, that He may wean us from every false confidence and draw us to Himself.
We will pray to the Lord for you and for those who are trapped, that the God who brings forth His people from captivity with His own hand would work deliverance. Deliverance from cruel bondage must be wrought by the outstretched arm of Jehovah alone, and it came when the Lamb was slain. He alone can bring up from the pit those who feel they are going down to it, and He does so not for any payment or merit in us, for all His mercy is gratis, given freely because He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy.
You speak of a bite of a serpent. There is healing in Christ, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. The least thing about Christ has healing virtue, and His blood and wounds are the conduit from which abundant streams of healing flow down to men below. We pray that the Sun of Righteousness would rise with healing beneath His wings upon the wounded body and upon the wounded soul, for every form of fellowship with Jesus wrought in us by the Spirit is a well of salvation.
We pray also that you would know the footsteps of mercy, that the great Interpreter between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ, would speak to your heart not in words only but with a sweet sense of mercy shed abroad within, making you to feel and to rejoice in the way of salvation and to accept it. The Lord is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. His rod of mercy is ever outstretched, and though wrath might well awaken, mercy still presses the sword back into its sheath, crying sleep, for He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his way and live.
Come then to the mercy seat, where God dwells between the cherubim and where He loves to meet the sinner. There you cannot be destroyed while you cry, let us pray. Confess your need, trust not in your own goodness but in the goodness and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is the way of salvation, and ask Him to save and to heal and to deliver.
We now pray for you: O Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abounding in goodness and truth, look in tender mercy upon this soul and upon those who are trapped. Thou knowest their case and their circumstances. Show Thy overtaking mercy and call them by name. Deliver from the pit, heal the bite of the serpent, break the bonds that hold them fast, and grant that all strength apart from Christ may be starved that they may find substantial rest in Him alone. Grant faith to look to Jesus and live, for His sake. Amen.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, and rest your hope wholly upon Christ, for in Him there is sure mercy and an unchanging covenant.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your cry for help has been heard and I am praying for you now in your distress and fear. You spoke of being trapped and of a snake bite, and of wanting God's kindness. God does show mercy and kindness, and His mercy is not small but abundant, giving more than only release from punishment, making us whole through Jesus Christ.
If you have been bitten by a snake or if you or others are in physical danger and trapped, please seek help immediately. Call emergency services or get to a doctor or hospital at once, and tell someone near you where you are so they can help you. Do not wait. God gives wisdom to doctors and help through those around us, and you should use that help without delay.
You asked for prayer to be made to you, but prayer is to be offered to God alone, through Jesus Christ His Son. We do not pray to people, but we pray to the Father who hears us and who is full of compassion. It is good that you desire His kindness, for every person needs His mercy, and none of us can say before Him that we are good on our own. Scripture teaches that we are saved not by our own goodness but by His grace, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
So I will pray for you to Him now.
Heavenly Father, have mercy on this one who is afraid and feels trapped. Show Your kindness and protection. If there is injury from a snake, bring healing and bring skilled help quickly. Deliver those who are trapped and bring them to safety. Forgive sins and draw this heart to trust fully in Jesus Christ, who alone is our Savior. Give peace, clear thought, and strength to take the right steps for safety, and let Your light be seen in this darkness. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask this. Amen.
Please reach out again and let someone know how you are, and if you can, tell a trusted person, pastor, or medical worker near you what has happened so they can stay with you and help. Keep calling upon the Lord, listening to His word, and trusting His mercy.

Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and I am praying for you in this frightening situation where you feel trapped and mention a snake bite. That sense of being trapped with no way out is a heavy and distressing feeling, and I want you to know that God sees you in it.
When we feel cornered and helpless, Scripture invites us to lift our eyes to the Lord and wait for His mercy, the way a servant looks to the hand of his master. His mercy is not a single act but something that endures forever, in every circumstance and every season. The Bible repeats that truth over and over so it will settle deep in our hearts. God delights to show mercy, and He has not rewarded us according to our failures. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His merciful kindness toward those who reverence Him.
That kindness is not earned by our own goodness. His love toward us is not caused by anything in us. It cannot be bought and it cannot be put out. It flows freely to us and is ours to receive. We see a picture of this in the way King David sought out the lame son of Jonathan to show him kindness, not because of what that son had done, but for the sake of another. He said, do not be afraid, I will surely show you kindness and restore to you what was lost and you will eat at my table continually. In the same way God shows us kindness for the sake of Jesus Christ. For His sake our sins are forgiven and we are invited to sit at His table and receive the richness of His grace.
God is also the God of new beginnings. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away and all things become new. There is always the hope of morning with Him. He does not leave us in the trap. The Lord is our light and our salvation, so we need not be overcome by fear. Even when we walk through dark places, we can fear no evil because He is with us. His goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives, and He will complete the work that concerns us.
If you have literally been bitten by a snake, please seek medical help immediately while you are also seeking the Lord.
I am praying for you now. Father in heaven, I lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus, the name that brings strength and comfort in danger and distress. Have mercy and show Your great kindness. Make a way where there seems to be no way, bring deliverance from this place of being trapped, and bring healing and protection from harm. Let this person know Your presence is near, that Your mercy endures forever, and that You are ready to give a new beginning through faith in Jesus Christ. Give peace instead of fear, and help them to trust that You are on their side and will perfect that which concerns them. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have continued to lift you up before the Lord concerning the snake bite and the sense of being trapped and your desire to experience Gods goodness and kindness in this difficult time. We take comfort in Psalm 91:15 where we are reminded that when we call on Him He will answer us and be with us in trouble and deliver us. If your request was answered and you have received healing and deliverance please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and you still feel trapped or in need of healing please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son Jesus Christ. We continue to pray for your healing and protection and peace and that you will clearly see Gods kindness toward you. We pray this in Jesus Name Amen
