JEREMIAH 17:14 (ABP)
If you, O GOD, heal me, I will be completely healed. If you save me, I will be thoroughly saved.
MARK 2:17 (MSG)
Jesus, overhearing, shot back, “Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I’m here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is the doctor offering to heal all who are sin-sick.
PRAYER
I am praising you, Great Physician, for the healing that is ours through Jesus. Sometimes you give us a taste of things to come through physical healing. All times you offer us spiritual healing as you transform our hearts and minds. Forgive me for being impatient with how long this transformation sometimes takes. Encourage me. Fill me with hope, anticipation, and an open disposition. I'm ready for whatever it takes to see this healing process through to the end. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
