Please pray for me as I just turned 35 and my body is going through a lot of changes. I have a lot of stomach problems and recently I've been going through anxiety. I haven't been sleeping well and I'm also dizzy as well. I need peace from the Lord and faith that He's taking care of me. Thank you for your prayers.

Hi Sara, just read your prayer request now and prayed for you. I understand where you're coming from as I saw myself in similar shoes. I'm also in my 30's and yes our bodies do go through some changes health wise. I had some health issues sneak up on me that I never had in my 20's. I came down with Diabetes and I do not live an unhealthy lifestyle and am the proper weight for my height and never had issues in my past with glucose. Turns out it was hereditary, I was very unhappy as it usually becomes degenerative at some point, but God has brought me through it 4 years later and I'm still here!

I also wrestled with terrible anxiety up to the point of losing sleep for nights at a time! I'm talking about going to bed for 2-3 hours max, or if at all. I no longer suffer from this thank Gd, I think for me, my problem deep down inside was because I wasn't really settled in my heart with Jesus yet. I knew him, but really didn't know him. I didn't understand him. I was afraid of death and the uncertainty of where I was going. Until I started reading his word daily and really making an effort to know him better. It all came down to, me getting myself right before God and really surrendering all to him. But I'm just saying all this because this was my issue. Not saying this is your problem.

My whole life is a testimony to Jesus because of all the things he's done for me. He's really carried me through all the fiery trials in my life and he CAN and is ABLE to help you!

I'm writing this to tell you that Gd is working on you. Health issues do not come from him, we get sick or ill because it's all apart of the human condition. However God is carrying you through whatever it is that is going on in your life/health. He is there, Sara even if you can't feel it. He made us and we are his children. Always remember that, that's why he lead you to this page! What a friend we have in Jesus! It has been my joy walking with him all these years and he has blessed you with 35 so far!
