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.

Look for God

With the passing of years, Henry’s life had changed. His children were grown. The neighborhood was different. He was unhappy. He asked his minister if he was unhappy for some sin he’d committed. “Yes,” the wise pastor replied. “The sin of ignorance. One of your neighbors is the Messiah in disguise, and you have not seen him.”

With time, Henry saw things in people he’d never seen. When others spoke he listened. After all, he might be listening to the Messiah. The bounce returned to his step. His eyes took on a friendly sparkle. He said, “All I know is that things changed when I started looking for God.”

Now, that’s curious. The old man saw Jesus because he didn’t know what he looked like. The people in Jesus’ day missed him because they thought they did. How are things looking in your neighborhood?

The Next Door Savior

In the aftermath of 9/11 a group of religious leaders was invited to come to Washington and pray with President Bush. The group was well-frocked and well-known. You might wonder if I felt out of place. The only time I wear a robe is when I step out of the shower.

But when it came my turn to meet George W. Bush, I added, “And Mr. President, I was raised in Andrews, Texas—a half-hour drive from your hometown.” He smiled that lopsided smile and let his accent drawl ever so slightly. “Why, I know your town. I’ve walked those streets. I’ve even played your golf course.” It was nice to know that the president knew my home.

How much nicer to know the same about God. Yes, he rules the universe. Yes, he has walked your streets. He’s still the next door Savior. Jesus – above all powers? You bet he is!
