Heal
12 Therefore strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead. 14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness—without it no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:12-14
When you pray for someone to be healed from their illness or weak body, do you keep these prayers hidden to yourself? Do you actually pray for someone when you tell them you are going to be praying for them? It is so easy to silently pray for someone, because there might be times when you aren't with that person and cannot be near them. When you have the opportunity to pray for and with someone, do it out loud so they can know you are praying for them and they can have the confidence that God hears your prayers, both the silent and the verbalized prayers. Some might say that I don't pray out loud because I am not eloquent with my words. One does not have to be eloquent, one only has to have a humble heart with simplistic requests for God to hear. God hears all our prayers and will answer them in His time, and in His way. It is easy for us who pray for months about an ill person to not see any improvement or change in the healing process, but we cannot be the one in charge of the healing process, only God can. We just need to be faithful in our prayer and He will be faithful in His timing and process. It is not an easy pill to swallow when we see someone suffer, but it is easier to know that God has His plan.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
