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.

Untying Knots

Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together? Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway?

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop. One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted shoestring. He grew more anxious by the moment. All of a sudden it was too late. The bus door closed. With tear-filled eyes he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, “Do you untie knots?”

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, “Help!” And when we do, who shows up? Jesus, our next-door Savior. Go ahead, ask him: “Do you untie knots?” “Yes,” he will say.

As We Behold Him

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness…” As we behold him, we become like him.

It’s a principle I experienced first-hand when an opera singer visited our church. He sat right behind me. He tried to contain himself, but how can a tuba hide in a room of piccolos? I was startled. Inspired. Emboldened by his volume. I lifted mine. Did I sing better? No. But did I try harder? No doubt. His power brought the best of me.

Could your world use a little music? If so, invite heaven’s baritone—Jesus Christ—to cut loose. Who knows? A few songs with him might change the way you sing!
