I have spinal stenosis of my cervical spine and lumbar spine. After a failed decompression surgery in November over the months I have been having increasingly worsening numbness and weakness throughout my body. I have told several of my providers over the months of my symptoms but have not had anyone listening, at first told give it time for the nerves to repair, then it's too risky and complicated to do surgery, and always referring me to pain management. Even going to the hospital ER always gets me sent home because I'm told "it's a chronic problem, not life threatening ", but my prognosis for the spinal stenosis if left untreated will lead to paralysis. Now feeling the breaking down of my functioning it's scary. I've surrendered my situation to God and trust in He will take care of me, it is still very frightening to be losing sensation and getting getting profoundly weaker. I've been disappointed with the medical system but we are so close to the end of this age that even the medical system can crumble like every institution in the world. All of my experience with this has moved me much closer to God and has served to put my trust in Him more. I need prayers though because Im getting worse quickly and it scares me and I know it's the flesh having me scared, not to mention the enemy will use this situation to try to pull me away from the Lord but as my favorite Bible passage says nothing in All creation will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Please pray for me. Thank you and God bless you, 1 Lover of God

Powerful Lord, God Almighty . . . this is a legitimate concern for your loved one. As much as we would all like for this person to be completely healed, which I know, without a doubt, that you can do, we more pray that your Holy Will would be done. Just as Jesus asked to be healed of his murderous situation, Jesus wanted your Will to be done, and we find ourselves in that same predicament. Powerful God, if you choose to not give this person physical healing, we ask that you would Spiritually Circumcise their Heart, ensuring a strong passageway into your Holy Heaven. Father, we Trust you with our Lives, believing in the Resurrection Power of Jesus, that He Himself would raise Himself from the dead. Because Christ overcame such a silly thing as worldly death, we ask that you would give us all this same perspective, which is that we can and [will] Endure. We pray this prayer in the name of your Powerful Son, Jesus . . . Amen.

@1LoverofGod - I want you to contemplate the Holy Word "Endure." The True Children of God will in fact suffer, and this model is presented to us in the Gospels of Christ each time that we read of miraculous, physical healing. These healings were to demonstrate the ultimate healing, which is the Operation of Faith that only Christ performs upon our human Hearts. We must all die, so we know that the Lord does not heal all people and for all times, but we do know, however, that Jesus is in the business of preparing and healing our stony hearts. This is what we are to seek more than anything else in this physical world. Because of your incredible suffering, I believe that you are one of the Lord's Holy Elect, for the Lord loves those who are suffering, while those who live carefree, wonton lives, the Lord doesn't provide for them. But you are suffering beyond imagination . . . and thus I believe that the Word of God says that He is always watching you . . . and listening to you.

As said, I believe that God has you 100% within His Right Hand of Salvation . . . and you cannot escape His Holy Grasp! So in your struggles, rejoice! I know that it seems crazy to think this way, but please remember that we live in Satan's world. This earth is his apparent throne, for the time being, and that means that how the world views "things" is not how the Lord views "things." While we grieve and sometimes even accuse God of hardship, we need to learn to accept that the Lord's Ways are not the Devil's ways, thus we are to look upon our suffering as one of the great hallmarks of being a Child of God . . . a True Child of God. So again, as much as you might be suffering; as much as you might be in various forms of pain . . . hold your hands to the sky and praise God for confirming His presence in your remarkable Life! You belong to Him, and I can assure you that when you enter the Gates of Heaven, you will understand these Ways of the Lord.

So as you pray, pray with confidence, that even if you should enter the furnace, and if you should die, the Lord will care for you regardless. These are the words of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So if I could be so bold as to ask you to Trust me, I am telling you that you are going to be just fine! Worry about nothing, for worry is unholy and is straight from the Devil. Do not participate in the Mind of Satan, but participate in the Mind of Christ. :)

I believe in you!

Thank you for your prayers. I am convinced that my suffering never comes from God and He emphatically has given me His sustenance that is the only way I have been able to endure. I believe in 1 Corinthians 10:13 He never lets us go through more than we can bear. Also, that he does on,y good for those who love him, according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. He had the book of Job put in the Bible for a reason. I think Job suffered the most second to Jesus. I cannot equate myself to either but as 1 Corinthians 10:13 says we won't ever suffer any more than what is common to humans and God Always helps us to endure so we can find a way out. These reminders of scripture are going through my mind daily, but the flesh, the body reminds me that I have this condition that was brought about as a repercussion of sin.
I need prayers for me to keep hold firmly to the endurance because the flesh is always interfering with my focus. I know it's the enemy using my body against me to try to break me. Im not concerned that he will succeed. "nothing can pluck me out of Jesus hand" John 10:28
He took away a lot from me this year. My health, my family, my home church, the constant battle with my health care providers. Oddly a lot like Job, though I could never compare to Job. But I have suffered greatly with my spine condition but God is always good. I need prayers to help me keep the hold to the sustenance God is providing to help me endure. It's hard when the nerves in my body keep letting me know they are being severely damaged and my body is reacting. I know the enemy is taking advantage of my fallen flesh to try to discourage and distract me. Thank God for our Helper, HS. Thank you again for your prayers. I'm blessed to have come here.
