JEREMIAH 8:21-22 (NLT)
I hurt with the hurt of my people.
I mourn and am overcome with grief.
Is there no medicine in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why is there no healing
for the wounds of my people?
LUKE 10:8-9 (CEB)
Whenever you enter a city and its people welcome you, eat what they set before you. Heal the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘God’s kingdom has come upon you.’
SUMMARY SENTENCE
People need to be healed and God sends healers.
PRAYER
God, you are well aware of just how sick we are -- the physical, spiritual, and emotional brokenness that characterizes our lives. And you've done something about it by sending Jesus into the world to be our physician. Forgive me for ignoring your medical advice and choosing to embrace old wives' tales which require less of me. Heal my judgment so that I can be restored and share in your mission of healing the world. I am going to join you in hurting with those who hurt. 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.
