All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

In the recent past, I've asked for prayer for my job, loneliness, and over coming sin.  But today it occurred to me that I never asked for prayer for my health problems.  I think I mentioned my Learning Disability and how it's effected me, in conjunction with some other things in my life that went wrong. 

I have several health issues that I often don't think about in terms of "I need prayer for this"  The reason I often don't think about them in these terms is because I've had them for so long.  I've had them for almost my entire life.  You may disagree with me but I consider a learning disability a form of health issue.  It has the power to hinder or hold you back mentally.   High Blood Pressure is called a Health Issue, but Lots of people get treated for it.  Now days either one of these things by themselves is not usually considered to be a big issue.  There is lots of medications for treating High Blood Pressure so most people who have it; have it under control.  There are also medications to help a learning disability.  But what I am about to share with you, is something I found out when I was told to see a Psychiatrist. 

After talking with the Psychiatrist, He decided that my number one problem is my learning disability.  He felt that if He could treat me by medication things would get easy for me.  But due to the fact I must also take High Blood Pressure medication, He told me "We are between a rock and a hard place."  He went on to say that I'll probably never get out on my own.  (Leave my Parents)  The reason for this is that Learning Disability medications have the side effect of raising one's blood pressure.  Since untreated my blood pressure runs 200 over a 100  (Top Pressure 200)  (Bottom Pressure 100)  Doctors like Him don't risk putting me on Learning Disability medications.  Some of you are probably thinking "Why didn't you get a second opinion?"  Back then I struggled with OCD and Anxiety.  I in fact for a time, had to be put on a medication for Anxiety and I was tested on Medications for OCD.  I think what the first doctor said about me is right.  The OCD and Anxiety both were brought on by me trying to make it through school without the Learning Disability medication.  After I got a job and had insurance to help me pay to see a second Psychiatrist, I asked my Doctor who  I should see, and He set me up with someone.  I went to see Him several times that year until finally He had tested me on all the medications He could.  Then He came up with the same conclusion the first guy did.  The difference was He was nicer about it.  And He put me back on an Anxiety Pill.  BUT praise God!  Two years ago I got off that pill and haven't needed it sense.  

I'm asking for prayer, but I don't know how one should pray for this.  God is with me and I'm sure He's walking through the fire with me.  BUT it sure would be nice if God would heal at least one of these two issues.

Praying

I'm praying Gregory.

We serve a God of impossibilities.  What is humanly impossible, is possible for God.  Take heart and keep your faith, trust in Him and watch Him do what He does best.  He is a God that will say a word and you will be healed. TRUST IN HIM!

Dear  Lord, Your son needs You, and this You already know.  Your ways are just amazing, and nothing is difficult for You.  Father look upon him with favour and grant him his desire.  I know Lord, You are a God of mercy and compassion, have mercy on Your dear child and heal him in Jesus' name. Amen!

Dear Gregory, contemplate the words found in James 1:2-4 and verse 12...From them, you will derive the reason and purpose of your trials. You see, Gregory, I in the midst of this trial which I refer to as a "valley" in my journey through life. It is not an easy valley, but through prayers and love of family and friends, and my own deep faith, I know with God's help, I'll climb out of it. We are NEVER alone; Christ Jesus is ALWAYS with us. We just accept the challenge of what we face, trust and believe that only God is able. Trust Him! Wait for His perfect timing.

 

"Father, You already know about Gregory's needs. Thank You that You have already provided all he needs through Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross. Thank You for soon manifesting these healing needs in Gregory's life. Standing and believing Your promises to be true. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name. Amen."
