Overcoming Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Overcoming Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome

I N T RO D U C T I O N

 All fatigue does not fall into the category of Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome. Most people at one time or another

have feelings of apathy and energy loss — times when they go to

bed tired and get up tired.

There are cases of fatigue that last for weeks, months, or even

years. The medical profession has not determined the causes of

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and does not know its cure. In most

individuals it simply runs its course.1Where there is no way, Jesus

is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God sent His Word to heal

you and deliver you from all your destructions (Ps. 107:20).

According to those who have shared their experience with

this syndrome, they have flu-like symptoms — they feel achy with

a low-grade fever. One person who suffers from it and for whom

we pray is considered disabled and cannot work regularly.

You and I are created triune beings — spirit, soul, and body

(1 Thess. 5:23). The Apostle John wrote, “Beloved, I wish above

all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy

soul prospereth” (3 John 2).

God’s Word is medicine to our flesh (Prov. 4:20-22 AMP). If

any type of medication is to bring relief and a cure, it is necessary

to follow the prescribed dosage. This is true with “spiritual”

medicine. It is imperative to take doses of God’s Word daily

through reading, meditating, and listening to healing tapes. The

spirit, soul, and body are interrelated; it is the Word of God that

brings the entire being into harmony.

God made us and knows us inside and out. He sent His

Word to heal us and to deliver us from all our destructions (Ps.

107:20). Prayer prepares us to take action. Jesus said that if we

pray in secret, our Heavenly Father will reward us openly (Matt.

6:6). Prayer includes praise, worship, and petition.

Prayer prepares us for change — it equips us for action. It

puts us in tune and in harmony with the Spirit of God Who is

hovering over the face of the rivers of living waters, residing within

us (Gen. 1:2; John 7:38). He is waiting for us to speak, to move —

to act out our faith. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is revealed in

the names ascribed to Him — Comforter, Counselor, Helper,

Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby ( John 16:7 AMP).

He is with us and in us ( John 14:17).

P RAY ER

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before Your throne of

grace to receive mercy and to find grace to help in time of need.

May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to You, the God

and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) for You have

blessed me in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy

Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!

Father, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a curse, not a blessing.

Jesus became a curse and at the same time dissolved the curse.

And now, because of that, the air is cleared and I can see that

Abraham’s blessing is present and available for me. I am able to

receive Your life, Your Spirit, just the way Abraham received it.

Christ, the Messiah, purchased my freedom with His very

own blood, and the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ

Jesus [the law of my new being] has freed me from the law of sin

and of death.

Christ lives in me. The Spirit of You Who raised up Jesus

from the dead dwells in me. You, Father, are restoring to life my

mortal (short-lived, perishable) body through Your Spirit Who

dwells in me.

You, Sovereign Lord, have given me an instructed tongue, to

know the word that sustains the weary. You waken me morning by

morning, waken my ear to listen like one being taught.

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me

[I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him

Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in

Christ’s sufficiency].

You are my Light and my Salvation — whom shall I fear or

dread? You are the Refuge and Stronghold of my life — of whom

shall I be afraid? You, Lord, are my Shield, my Glory, and the

Lifter of my head.With my voice I cry to You, and You hear and

answer me out of Your holy hill. I lie down and sleep, I awaken

again, and You sustain me.

Father, I put on Your whole armor; and, having done all, I

stand, knowing that You are watching over Your Word to perform

it. Your Word will not return to You void [without producing any

effect, useless], but shall accomplish that which You please and

purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which You sent it.

Lord, You used Your servant body to carry my sins to the

cross so I could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. Your

wounds became my healing.

I throw off the spirit of heaviness and exchange it for a

garment of praise. Thank You for the superhuman energy which

You so mightily enkindle and work within me.

In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
