Please Pray for My Eyes

There have been pains in my right eye that have come and gone.

At this point, I feel that it is nothing to be alarmed about. But I can use your best prayers.

There is a context for this. 

Many months ago I began to have deposits on my eyelashes day and night. 

I have been using medicated eye drops that I bought over the counter named Zaditor.

An eye doctor friend advised me to put warm compresses on my eyes and then wash them with baby shampoo. I use an eye mask with silicon balls that I heat in the microwave oven before putting it on my eyes. That has helped greatly. 

Then this new pain comes and goes.

It has been on my right eye near the inside. It was red and puffy. Thankfully it has gotten better.

I do not know if it would be best to just wait and let my body heal naturally. Or if I need to go see an eye doctor. Thankfully I have health insurance. But I do not have a car so I would need to get a ride from a neighbor. 

I seek God for wisdom and guidance. 

I will contact my eye doctor friend again.

I have paused to review my priorities.

First I pray privately and wait for my body to heal.

If pains continue then I request prayers.

I want home remedies and/or nutritional supplements next.

Then if necessary I am willing to take prescription drugs.

The final option for me is surgery. 

This is a wake-up call for me to be grateful for the eyesight that I had taken for granted.

Thankfully prayers about my abdomen led to a simple home remedy that worked well.

I believe that Jesus Christ can heal me just by answering prayers. That has happened many times in my past. 

Also, the Lord can lead me in what to do or who to consult.

I trust that God cares about me and will guide me to the best solution to this problem.

Besides relief for this short term pain by my right eye, I believe God can guide me to addressing the cause of the other eye issue. 

Shalom

John
