So I was feeling sad and alone and distressed. It is late and friends are asleep.
I called a Christian prayer line for support.
I said I am dying, it is my time, do NOT pray for healing. I need comfort and help and support.
Person proceeded to pray the Lord heals my body. I am, I cannot believe this.
I finally interrupted, said, it is my time, the Lord is not gonna heal me this time. Do NOT pray for healing.
The person said, by His stripes we are healed. Read your Bible.
I hung up.
Because I am me, because I am Jephthah’s Daughter, I call for support and get wounded for my pains.
What you did, prayer warrior, is impose on me what you believed God wanted, and blamed me for my supposed lack of faith. And this is hurtful and wrong.
What you did is failed to help and hurt me instead. You didn’t listen to me OR the Lord. When I protested, you got mad and told me “read your Bible” which is a species of Christian insult.
I am not gonna survive this, but if I did clearly a lot of education needs to happen about how Christians need to deal with death.
