Over the past several months, I’ve been out of work due to being careless or too aggressive with exercising, and I ended up injuring both arms and shoulders with several surgeries. I believe my one arm will never be as good as it was, and I worry about having to be careful with everything I do and re-injuring it again.
I won’t be able to return to my same job at work because it’s too physical, and the possibility of injury is too high.
Over the past several months, I have gotten much closer to Jesus and my spiritual walk has definitely matured and gotten deeper and stronger, and that I take as a blessing.
Since all this happened though, I’ve been dealing with over worrying anxiety and even depression but again my faith has gotten so much stronger, but I still have very difficult times and days. I’m doing all I can in my power to put all my trust and faith in Jesus.
I’m reading devotionals the Bible and a self-help book every day and I do feel much stronger and closer in my faith and trust going forward, but I still struggle with worry, anxiety and fear at times and I just wish I would be more at peace.
I know I am truly blessed and there are many people that have it so much worse than me and I try to remember that, and I pray for them and for everyone to find peace and love within Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I lift up John to You and echo the cry of his heart before Your throne. You see his injuries, the surgeries, the loss of his work, and the fear of re injury that weighs on him, and You also see how deeply he has drawn near to You through it all. I ask You to receive every word he has spoken, every prayer he has prayed, and every unspoken worry he carries, and answer them according to Your perfect will. Please replace his anxiety and fear with Your peace that surpasses understanding, strengthen his body, guide his future steps, and reassure him that his life still has purpose and hope in You. Let him feel Your nearness on the hard days, remind him that he is not forgotten, and fill his heart with rest, courage, and trust as he continues to walk closely with You. Amen.
Dear Lord, please touch John on every level and heal him holistically. Please give him eagle’s wings, lift his depression and free him from anxiety. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
I am dealing with the same issues with my anxiety. I ask that God would lift you up and help you to deal with this and other issues and put his healing hands upon you and help you to enjoy life. I ask these things In his son’s most precious name Amen
