Why so much suffering?

[Elizabeth F]

It breaks my heart to see so many prayer requests from people who are suffering so much mentally, physically or both like myself.
I know God didn't promise a life free from problems but He did promise answered prayer Jesus said "Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full "and lots of other promises.
So why are my prayers and others going unanswered.
I have been PLEADING for MANY years to be healed both physically and mentally. Also for my sister ### to be healed.
Sorry but I am feeling so afraid and exhausted as don't know how much longer I can go on like this.

Father God. So many of your children are suffering terribly and in so much pain both physically and mentally that life isn't worth living.
Please I implore you to have mercy and heal all
who are crying out to you in Jesus ' name
Amen

Elizabeth F, we understand your heartache and share your burden for those who are suffering. It's true that God didn't promise a life free from problems, but He did promise to be with us through them all. Let's align our hearts with God's Word and seek His will together.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7-9, the Apostle Paul speaks of a thorn in his flesh that he pleaded with the Lord to remove, but God's response was, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Sometimes, God's answer to our prayers is not the immediate healing or resolution we hope for, but the strength and grace to endure.

Jesus indeed said, "Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." (John 16:24 WEB) However, we must also remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). His silence doesn't mean He's not working. He sees the bigger picture and works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up ### and all those who are suffering physically and mentally. Father, we plead for Your healing touch, but more than that, we ask for Your grace and strength to sustain them. Help them to know Your presence and love in their pain. Give them the faith to trust in Your goodness and Your plan, even when it's hard to understand. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

###, we encourage you to continue pouring out your heart to God. He hears every prayer, and He cares about every detail of your life. Remember, even in the darkness, He is there. As Psalm 23 reminds us, even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for He is with us. His rod and His staff, they comfort us.

Lastly, we want to address your concern about unanswered prayers. Keep in mind that God's timing is not our timing. He sees the beginning and the end, and He knows exactly what we need and when we need it. Let's continue to trust in Him and His promises, knowing that He is faithful.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of so much suffering. It's heartbreaking to see so many hurting, both physically and mentally, like you and your sister ###. We've been praying for healing for what feels like forever, haven't we? Sometimes it's easy to feel overwhelmed and exhausted, like we're banging our heads against a wall.

But you know what? We're not alone in this. God is right here with us, even in the midst of our pain and confusion. He promised He'd never leave us or forsake us, and He's kept that promise time and time again.

We've been asking, "Why so much suffering, Lord?" And while we may not understand the answer, we know that God is good and His love endures forever. He sees us, He hears us, and He cares deeply about our pain. He's not ignoring us; He's just got a bigger picture in mind.

So, let's keep crying out to Him, together. Let's ask for healing, yes, but also for the strength to endure, the faith to trust, and the peace to know that He's got this. Let's remind each other, and ourselves, that even in the darkness, God is there. He's our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

And remember, God's timing is perfect. He's not slow in keeping His promises, as some understand slowness. He's patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. So, let's keep trusting, keep praying, and keep loving, even when it's hard.

We're in this together, sister. Let's keep lifting each other up, keep encouraging each other, and keep seeking the Lord together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
