Lord, I’m growing weary due to my chronic pain in my spine. I have over a dozen of cysts bilaterally on every level of the nerve roots of my spine. I saw a specialist in another state, in June to address at least one large cyst that is causing Thoracic spine pain and affecting my quality of life. I’m in my bed with a heating pad off and on throughout the day and I’m only 52. Specialist neurosurgeon requires a diagnostic nerve block before I get the surgery to confirm source of pain. Having difficulty finding a provider to perform this nerve block. Hoping to hear back from two providers. I would ideally want to schedule this surgery during my daughter’s winter holiday break so I can arrange care for her, she is 12. This procedure would require me and my husband to fly to another state and stay there for a week. I have been in chronic pain for years now and feel very unwell. I use a cane, wheelchair and mobility scooter. I don’t drive much. I want to be able to bend without pain. Standing to long increases pain. I have pain up and down my spine. These cysts compress nerves and cause much pain. I will likely need multiple surgeries. I’m so depressed sometimes but my hope is in Jesus. I know someday I will be free of my pain. Even if some of this pain is reduced it would help me so much. I just want to be an active mother, grandmother and wife. My husband has had to do most of the shopping and cooking for our family now. I can’t clean my home. It makes me feel like such a burden to my family. I’m afraid I won’t be able to garden next spring. It gives me joy to grow a small garden and flowers… I pray it’s not taken away from me too. Please pray for my youngest son, who is 26 ( Jacob). He has struggled with addiction and now his mental health. He is clean from hard drugs but is being very hateful to me and my husband ( his stepdad) . He has even called our church. He is mentally unstable. Please pray for peace and comfort for my husband. My stepson committed suicide in our home, in March and his birthday is coming up. It will be difficult for my husband. He would have turned 18 this year and graduated from highschool next year. My husband has struggled coping with his grief by drinking hard liquor and hiding it. He runs a mens Bible study at our church l. I feel like he is a hypocrite. Our marriage is struggling due to so many trials. I have an ex husband who was a alcoholic and dealt with a lot during that time. I don’t have the energy or patience to deal with this. I’m becoming bitter and hopeless from my trials. Help me Lord.
Heavenly Father, we come to You humbly with the burdens this dear soul carries, knowing that You see every moment of pain, every struggle, and every hope placed in Your hands.
Lord, we lift up the pain in their spine and the many cysts that cause such chronic suffering. Bring them relief, Father, and help them secure a provider for the nerve block procedure they need. We ask that this surgery be possible at the right time, with all care arrangements smoothly provided for their daughter. We pray for Your healing touch to ease the pain and restore mobility, so they may experience life more fully as a mother, grandmother, and wife, able to enjoy simple joys like gardening again.
Father, we lift up Jacob, their son. Guide him in his recovery and bring clarity, peace, and healing to his mind. Calm his heart and bring reconciliation with his family. We ask, too, for Your tender comfort for this person’s husband as he grieves the loss of his son. Lord, be his refuge in the pain, and guide him away from alcohol, drawing him closer to Your strength and love.
Father, where bitterness and exhaustion have taken root, bring renewal and patience. Remind them of the hope and peace that only You can provide. Strengthen this marriage amid the storms, and make them a testimony of Your love and faithfulness. Surround this family with Your healing grace, Father, and cover them with Your mercy. We thank You that You hear and are already working, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Dear Father, thank You for this person’s beautiful faith. She is going though many trials in life, but we know that your will will be done. I thank You for Your love for all mankind, and I pray that You would be able to help this beloved woman to know and feel even just the slightest bit of who she is in Your eyes. I know that that would make her so happy. I am reminded of how You came to earth to pay the price for our sins, completely God and completely man. Let blessings rain down on this woman and her family! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
This is an extra note to the writer of this prayer/prayer request. I care about you, as my fellow human and my brother or sister in Christ Jesus. And in case you haven’t heard, Jesus loves you infinitely more! Seriously, God’s love for us all is a neverending amount more than any human could ever love! So I want to tell you the most important thing you can ever hear. Perhaps you have heard that Jesus died for us all. I bet you know that He came back to life after three days too. But many people miss the true meaning of this. As we can all agree, the world isn’t perfect. That dates back to Adam and Eve, who in the Garden of Eden chose to disobey God, and brought the Curse of sin into the world. Becuase of this, all humans and the world was made imperfect. This imperfection made an infinite separation between us and God, meaning we were all doomed to go to Hell. But God didn’t want that. So, according to John 3:16 and the rest of the Bible, God gave himself up to pay the price for our sins. That’s the reason Jesus, or God’s Son, 100% God, and also 100% man, came to earth, and lived a perfectly sinless life. He payed the price that according to the Bible we had to pay. “For the penalty of sin is death.” Jesus died, and then came back from the grave, defeating sin and death to pay our price for us. The Bible says that if you repent (To be sorry for sin as morally evil, and to seek forgiveness; to cease to love sin and do sin.) You will be saved! Doing this acccepts the Holy Spirit of God into your heart, who will build a spiritual stronghold in your heart. The day you read this, you can accept Jesus as your Saviour by asking Him to forgive you of your sins, sins past, present, and future, and asking Him to come into your heart. No matter who you are, or what you’ve done, God offers this free gift to you out of love! We never know when we may leave this earth, so please, accept the free gift of forgiveness that Jesus is holding out to you. This is the one and only way to Heaven! No amount of good things we do can bridge the gap between us and God, accept for faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior! If you made that decision recently, try reading the book of John. There are different translations of the Bible that help with different parts and ideas of and from the Bible. Some are more word for word, some are more thought for thought from the origional languages. Pick the one that’s right for you. Remember that none are perfectly accurate. After you’ve finished reading the book of John, I reccomend reading the whole New and the Old Testament. Remember that the Old Testament Laws don’t apply to us anymore, since the Law was just a shadow of Jesus, who has now come. If you doubt the Bible, know that the evidence is out there. If you want a human who can answer any questions, find a church
where the people believe what I’ve said here, and more importantly, truthfully believe what the Bible says, and then teach it. Don’t trust the internet with questions of importance, unless the site that you use meets the same requirements as the church. I apologize for how long this message was, but I hope that you have come to the 100% confidence that you will have Eternal Life with God if you weren’t sure already! Remember to, as Jesus commanded, “go forth and make disciples of all the nations”! What I’ve told you today is the Gospel. Spread the Word! Share the Good News! (Gospel means Good News!) Jesus loves you, and I’ll keep praying for you!
