Some of you know a little about my testimony, and how God miraculously healed me last year. It was really a life-threatening situation. So many people interceded for me, and I spent so many hours in my prayer closet. After months of warfare, my healing broke through in a pretty stunning way. Praise God for it!
But it took all I had to win that fight. God gave me grace, don't get me wrong on that, but it demanded an exertion of faith like I'd never practiced before. When my healing broke through in December, I was done. Empty. Depleted. Some days all I could do was lie in bed and be thankful. Although I've recovered quite a bit, there are still a few loose ends with my physical health. God has told me in my prayer time that full healing is available. He wants me to get up and finish the job.
When a friend calls on me for prayer or advice, I seem to fill up with energy to minister to them. When others ask me to fellowship, I'm excited. When I pray for others, it's effortless. Then I try to resume prayer to break through all of my victory, and the memories of pain/exhaustion overwhelm me.
It's time to get this done, though. I'm determined to grasp everything Jesus has for me. By His stripes I am healed, and that didn't come cheap, so I mustn't let it go to waste.
I would appreciate any advice, counsel, Biblical comparisons, or uplifting stories to help me. Prayer is always welcome!

I would appreciate any advice, counsel, Biblical comparisons, or uplifting stories to help me. Prayer is always welcome! God gives us the grace and all the means to do whatever His will is for us in His time, so I don't think there's any reason to force yourself to do something you don't have the spiritual or physical energy to do if God has not supplied you with more than what you have. If He's not urging you to do more, or giving you the energy that you need to do what you think He wants you to do, you may want to reconsider whether it's really Him urging you or just your own desire; because God always supplies us with what we need to do what is truly His will in His time. He wouldn't be urging you to do something He hasn't given you the necessities to do. And if it is His will for you to be healed fully, you should probably be patient and wait until He does it, and not push yourself beyond your reserves, which will only prolong your recovery. If you're asking Jesus to strengthen you to do His will, He will do so in His time---but His time may not be yours, and it may be that you think He wants you to do more now than He actually does. You shouldn't think that you're wasting His time by not being well or strong enough to do more than He has given you the health and strength to do. If and when God wants you to do more than you're currently able, He will give you whatever you need to do whatever He wants you to do. So there's no reason to be anxious about it---not as far as the Lord is concerned. I think you should be easier on yourself, and patient with Him. If He's been giving you the energy to minister to others, but not much else, then He's giving you all that you need to do what He wants you to do for now. When it is His will for you to do more, He will supply you with the energy to do more. If your heart is set on serving the Lord, you're not going to miss out on doing anything He truly wants you to do, in His time. When it's the Lord's will for us to work, that work is the very best thing we can be doing. When it is His will for us to wait, or to be "sidelined" for a time (like He did with Elijah by the brook), that is the very best thing for us also. God knows what He's doing, and He is always in complete control of our circumstances. He's always on time to do what He wants to do and knows is best for us, and to give us what we need according to His plan for us. "And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." (Luke 24:49)

Thank you for the wise counsel, Sister Light. I mustn’t try to go too fast. He’s been giving me glimmers that I will be full healed, but He hasn’t yet inspired me to do much. I need to make myself available without trying too hard. That can be a difficult balance.

Thank you! It’s physical healing in my body, but there has been a spiritual fight for it.

First of all, you know Jesus wants to heal you. He paid a high price for it. He did the work. Your job is to receive it. What else are you supposed to do? Pray? Fast? Did he give you a specific thing to do like what was done with Naaman? I am happy to pray for you, but I am not sure I understand what is hindering you from being healed, and what you must do.

He hasn’t given me instructions. I don’t know what comes next. I’ve prayed until I’m blue in the face. I’ve confessed and repented and rebuked and quoted Scripture and spoken in faith and had a minister lay hands on me. Still God responds with a quiet reassurance that somehow I’ll be healed in the end. But no more than that.

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4
God bless you in Jesus' name!

Each day, just get up and thank God for the healing you know is coming. Then rest in him. As for everyone else, everyone with a heart to do so should pray for Candance to be fully healed till it comes to pass.
