The Great Healer

SCRIPTURE

 

Psalm 6:2-4

2          Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am pining away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed.

3          And my soul is greatly dismayed; but you, O LORD-- how long?

4          Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; save me because of your lovingkindness.

 

Matthew 15:30

30        And large crowds came to Him [Jesus], bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

 

PRAYER

 

You, O Lord, are the one who heals. Though the sin of mankind has infiltrated our world, and the sins of some have shattered our personal worlds, yet you heal Lord. I ask that this day you would give ______ a quiet reassurance that your power is able, and your grace is sufficient, to heal even a greatly dismayed soul. Give her faith Lord. I pray that she would be among those who come to you, pining away and yet searching for your healing. I ask that you would flood her heart with a healing balm that could only come from the divine. May she know that you are reaching into her heart, and touching her in ways that are beyond counseling, beyond self-help, and beyond understanding. May she feel your touch Lord. And as she does, I pray that she would perceive healing. Don’t just bandaged her wounds, Lord, but take the cancer of soul away. Reach her deep places, her confused places, her blocked places, her fearful places. Heal her… completely… unmistakably… and soon, I pray. Amen.

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

 

He came to heal. Be dismayed, that’s ok. Ask, how long, he understands. But plead with him to give you the healing that your heart and soul needs today. Ask him. He is the great healer.
