A Healing Prayer

Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart burdened by illness and seeking Your healing touch. I claim the promise from James 5:14-15, trusting that as I call upon the elders of the church and pray in faith, You will bring healing to my body, mind, and spirit.

Lord, I ask for Your anointing and Your presence to surround me as we pray. Please use this prayer to make me well, for Your glory. If any sins need to be confessed and forgiven, reveal them to me, and I humbly ask for Your cleansing and forgiveness.

I surrender this illness into Your hands, knowing that You are the ultimate healer, and I trust in Your perfect timing and will. Please grant me patience and peace during this time of waiting and healing.

In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Where Joseph Stood

On the night when Jesus was born, I wonder if Joseph prayed, “Father, this all seems so bizarre. The angel you sent? Any chance you could send another?”

You’ve stood where Joseph stood. Each of us knows what it’s like to search the night for a light. Not outside a stable, but perhaps outside an emergency room or the manicured grass of a cemetery. We’ve asked our questions. We’ve wondered why God does what he does. If you’re asking what Joseph asked, let me urge you to do what Joseph did: obey. He didn’t let his confusion disrupt his obedience.

What about you? You have a choice: to obey or disobey. Because Joseph obeyed, God used him to change the world. Can he do the same with you? Will you be that kind of person? Will you serve, even when you don’t understand?

Out on a Limb

”After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:18 NKJV).

Joseph was perched firmly on his branch in the tree. Predictable and solid, Joseph had no intention of leaving it. That is, until he was told to go out on a limb. “Conceived by the Holy Spirit? Come on! Who will believe me?” Pride told him not to do it, but God told him to do it.

Have you been called to got out a limb for God? I have a feeling you can relate to Joseph. One foot in your will and one foot in his. His or yours? Disrupting, isn’t it? You can bet it won’t be easy. Limb-climbing has never been. Ask Joseph. Or better yet, ask Jesus! He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.
