From the God of your ancestor David: I’ve listened to your prayer and I’ve observed your tears. I’m going to heal you.
JOHN 4:49-51 (CEB)
The royal official said to him, “Lord, come before my son dies.”
Jesus replied, “Go home. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and set out for his home.
While he was on his way, his servants were already coming to meet him. They said, “Your son lives!”
THE ESSENCE
God is seriously interested in healing.
DAILY FODDER
Why doesn't God just heal people's spirits and leave it at that?
PRAYER
Doctor Jesus, everywhere you went, people's bodies and hearts were healed. Forgive our short-sighted thinking that wants to limit healing to the spiritual realm. Embolden us to seek healing in Jesus' name. Help us tune into your Holy Spirit to see when, where, and how you want to heal. Start by healing my faith because I trust that you want to include me as a partner in your work of healing the world. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
