Please pray with/for me that I will receive and experience complete healing and restoration in my natural Earthly body, presently and permanently from the brain tumor, and subsequent surgery that wreaked havoc on my body. My hearing and balance nerves on my left side had to be severed in order to remove the tumor, which has rendered me completely deaf on that side, with constant ringing, as well as balance issues with vertigo. My facial nerve did not have to be cut, but it has been damaged, causing numbness, and other altered sensation issues, as well as abnormal muscle function of my face, with eye problems due to that. The facial nerve issues are the most troubling, and with all that I have listed, I feel I am in constant torment. It is very lonely too, as my family does not understand, and are no longer supportive. Thank you and God bless you.
I pray that the Lord Almighty embrace you with strength, healing and restoration over your body.May he give you peace that surpasses all understanding in every situation. I plead blood of JESUS over you from top of your head to bottom soles of your feet. His word says we are healed by his stripes, in Jesus Powerful Name, Amen! 🙏
My family in Christ I lift you up in the name of Jesus and in his name may you be healed amen
Praying for you friend.
I am praying for you in the spirit and hope you will read Psalms 27:10 When my mother and father forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. David also expressed his feelings of loneliness in the Psalms. In Psalm 25:16 he says, “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted, “and in Psalms 142:4 he says, “Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.” Then in Psalms 21:1 says “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Psalms 25:1 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
