I am asking for prayers for my family. My mom has recently been sent back home after having a stroke and she is still really weak on one side and she lives alone. My wife has a trach, and she is on constant oxygen, which in return keeps her from living life outside of the house. I ask for prayers for her situation to get better and help her lose the weight she needs to lose to get the trach out.
I hardly ask for prayers for myself but I need them. I want to be spiritually on the right path towards Christ, where he wants me. I have been failing at this for some time. I got to church regularly and take part in functions and activities, I am saved but sometimes that feeling I had when I first got saved dissipates.
You don't need to "go to church" to "feel saved"... Yeshua is with you - and all His believers 24/7 no matter where you are. The problem is, we don't acknowledge Him. That's the problem. IF we acknowledge HIM and talk to Him and ... well... literally share our lives with Him, more and more of our questions and problems will be answered and solved. I could tell you some funny and wonderful stories about how HE has helped my family. Stand strong! don't ignore that "little whisper".
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
May our LORD Bless and keep you, may His light shine upon you and give you His peace. Amen
We have a wonderful God and he does heal However, Isaiah 53:5 is not emphasizing that kind of healing. In fact it's talking about much more than healing the body.
Isaiah 53:4-6.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR "TRANSGRESSIONS", HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR 'INIQUITIES": the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
(All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the "INIQUITY" of us all.)
Isaiah 53:5 is emphasizing Christ as the sacrificial Lamb, taking our place on the cross.
(We are healed from the penalty of sin.)
By this we become sons of God!
For encouragement I would associate these passages with Romans 8:14-18 and
Romans 8:32.
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, HOW SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM ALSO FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS?
We go to him with faith and confidence as a son and ask if it's in his will.
Hello Havefaith85: It must be hard to know a loved one is suffering. My prayers are with you and your wife and your daughter also. God is a great, loving Father and He WILL meet your needs according to His will.
Don't feel like you can't pray whenever you need to. Asking for prayer for real and sincere needs is something God always wants us to do. He is our Heavenly Father and loves us unconditionally. Go to Him always with your needs and reach out to your brothers and sisters in the Lord also because the bible says to pray without ceasing which includes praying with other Christians.
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
"16. Rejoice evermore. 17. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING 18. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

stripes we are healed." It shows us that
God promised and and that the sick can be healed. There is power in these words to restore the ailing.
When we speak them in their presence, they are reminded as well as encouraged that God loves them and has made a way for them to be healed.
May God strengthen you. May he restore the sick among you! Amen.
