Hello everyone!
I have two disabilities which I’ve been diagnosed. When I was 20, I was suddenly paralyzed and had to use a wheelchair. I recovered, but later I found my symptoms worsening although I was able to walk. At age 23, I was diagnosed with an incurable genetic condition. This disease is progressive and there are no treatments. I also have a severe mental illness.
I need prayers to help accept God’s will for me. I am having a hard time accepting that I have disabilities, and I’ve been thinking that I’m undeserving of God’s love, or it’s because of original sin that made me disabled. My mom and dad are having an incredibly hard time accepting my condition and they feel like this is all just a dream. This led to my mom not allowing me to talk about disability openly. Overall, my situation is going downhill and I’m having more thoughts of unworthiness and shame.
I’ve also read in the Old Testament that disabilities were said to be “blemishes”, which led me to look down upon myself. I can’t understand why God has allowed the genetic defect to happen, and I’m now questioning God’s love for me. I’ve started to think that God doesn’t love me because the society doesn’t love me (because I have a mental illness and a disability) and therefore I’m not even classified as a human being or a living creature. I just know that I’m breathing.
I know that I love God because He has loved me when no one else would want to do so. I love God because He has taken care of me during my darkest hours with my physical disability, but I don’t think I’m at a worthy place to receive His love.
I would really appreciate your prayers. Thank you.
