Jesus is our healer.
I am God your healer. ~ Exodus 15:26 (MSG)
By his wounds you are healed. ~ 1 Peter 2:24 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Jesus is our healer.
PRAYER:
Merciful God, thank you for sending Jesus into the world to heal us of the disease we call sin.
It's good to be well. Although, I'm not as healthy as I make myself out to be. I still hold onto some of the aspects of the disease with which you have already dealt. I need your help in making a total break from everything that is unhealthy.
I'm looking forward to living as someone who has been healed by the best doctor of all. Amen.
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2011 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
