Thanks for the continuous prayer. I noticed that their is swelling in my upper back and neck area that is probably the cause of much of what is going on, please pray the Lord will heal me.
My wife and I our going to th hospital at 5 or 6 in the morning in Chicago hoping that I can get an mri done. Please pray for my strength during the MRI I am very claustrophobic at times. Also please pray they find out what the problem is tommorow because this is not getting real bad. I am so scared I can't explain how terrifying this is. I hope they find out what is wrong and if they are able that they can have surgery done as soon as possible. Their is swelling in the back of my neck I wish they would have found the problem already, please lift me up to the Lord. Thank you again for praying for me.
We have decided to go tommorow instead to give my back and neck rest. I just fear they will give me an mri and then have to wait to give me surgery months down the road.Please pray that the Lord will open doors. Everytime I walk their is a bulging and swelling in my neck that keeps getting worse, I am still scared, I am trying to have faith, but it still getting worse. Brethren please pray the Lord sustains me and my ability to walk. I am so afraid. Pray the Lord Jesus will cure me.
My wife and I are going to the emergency room today very soon here at christ hospital, please pray that they will do whatever they can to help me and that the Lord sustains me. I know i am posting a lot, but i am very scared.
Amen Brother, I am praying with and for you.
Don't worry about posting a lot - we are praying.....May you know that peace that passes all understanding....Please keep us posted.
My wife and I went to the emergency room in evergreen park at one of the busiest hospitals and had to wait in the waiting room for almost 4 hours close to 5. My pastor came up their for 2 hours and prayed for me and my wife twice. They got me in their and they said they could give me a cat scan but the radiologists refused to give me one through the er. I need medical insurance and need to get an mri. They told me they think it is a pinched nerve or a bulging disk, but I don't know. I prayed almost the whole time and their was a lady who was dying in the room next to me and I prayed for her, she stayed alive, i am not sure if she was really dying but they were trying to find a pulse the whole time and they brought in a bunch of people to keep her heart beating. But anyways please pray for her. When your hurting it is easier to understand others who are hurting. I was reading the scriptures today a lot, please pray the Lord will speak to me through his word and that my neck won't hurt while reading because it was kind of earlier. This is definitely one of my worse struggles I have ever gone through, please pray that the Lord will hold me up and I just want to know He is with me, I mean I know what is word says, but it is like I am just forcing myself to believe He is going to help instead of truly trusting Him. Please pray that Spirit will comfort and illuminate me during this. Thank you for all your prayers.
John, how are you now? Please update.
"Jesus is God" I actually decided to get out of bed on i think thursday night and said if this is a pinched nerve then i should be able to walk on it because on the cat scan everything turned out fine and on the xray. So i got up and went through the pain and numbness of what might be A PINCHED NERVE. And for an hour and a half i stood and i didn't get worse. The next day i was sore and i went to see my brother in law who is a naparpath and he worked on my back with a deep muscle massage. When it was over I felt great and was walking around fine. The next day i did pretty good, but the neck stiffness bothered me a little when i would turn my head. I went again to see him today and now my back and neck discomfort has came back again, but it is hurting like it usually does or how it has the past 3 and a half years. I do not know how I am going to get through this and have money to live. We are waiting right now to get accepted for medical insurance and i need an mri really bad. Please pray that God gives me wisdom on what to do, many of my decisions have came from fear, that is why i went to the emergency room 3 times. I just am so weak, mentally i just needed healing fast. Please pray for Gods wisdom in this and that God would take care of me, I really hate this.I am trying to drink more milk and take calcium pills so i strengthen my bones. Just pray that God's will is done and that if it is possible that he heals me and tells me what he wants me to do. I have had to stop doing my bible studies and am 2 weeks behind my bible college work. Please pray for mental strength if i need rest and that the Lord would comfort me, I am not strong brothers and sisters. I don't want to go through anymore of this.
Hi John. I'm so sorry for all this pain that you're in. GOD have mercy.It does sort of sound as if there's something in one of the cervical discs that radiates down from there. A Promise from GOD is Romans 8:28,29. That may not sink in right away because I know that pain can fog your thinking some, but if you take those verses and hang onto them for dear life - The LORD may show you little ways in that He uses every - All Things - for the good - not as punishment - but as He said, 'in this world we'll have troubles' but, Him being GOD, uses All things for good in our lives, though we don't necessarily see it all right yet.Romans 8:28 is a verse that has gotten many suffering folks through tremendous trials. It becomes a "life verse" after that. One to always remember and fall on in complete faith that our GOD Who 'is' Love is omniscient and always uses All things for a Good cause.Bless you and your dear wife John. You have our empathy, love and Prayer. Praying for your strength to endure until you're released of this pain, in Jesus' Name. Don't give up. Keep calling on Him, even if the pain isn't gone yet. Pain is a real tester, isn't it? I truly understand friend.Praying His Presence and Peace despite the storm, for you & yours.
