Daily Prayer_June 14, 2011

The Word for wisdom:

Proverbs 14:30 (HCSB)
30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.

The Word for inspiration:

Psalm 91:11-13 (HCSB)
11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways.
12 They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

The Word for encouragement:

Matthew 15:29-31 (HCSB)
29 Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,
30 and large crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, those unable to speak, and many others. They put them at His feet, and He healed them.
31 So the crowd was amazed when they saw those unable to speak talking, the deformed restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they gave glory to the God of Israel.

My observation:

Today we continue to look at the healing ministry of Jesus outside of the borders of the Jewish nation. He moves from the Gentile area of Tyre and Sidon to the area of Decapolis. It was here that many people brought to him those who had infirmities and all kinds of diseases.


Notice what the people did. They brought these people to Jesus and put them at his feet. What they did then people are still doing today. When we pray for the sick, we bring their needs to Jesus and put them at his feet.


What these people found then and what we will find today is a compassionate Jesus. No one who comes to Jesus goes away disappointed. Others may disappoint us, but Jesus satisfies. Why not try him, and bring your case to the Great Physician. Those who do always find help, and leave his feet giving glory to God.

My prayer:

Father God, my dear Father, I am so grateful that you are still in the healing business. Father, I thank you that in prayer we can still bring all of our cares and place them at the feet of Jesus. Father, I am so appreciative that you are a God who has compassion for those who are hurting, and that you have the power and the willingness the help them.

  1. Thanks for finding this blog published in August 2011. I prayed the prayer I prayed then again today. Keep on spreading God's love, and sharing God's Word.

    God is still in the healing business; if He is your Father, you can call upon Him to heal you. God bless you richly; He loves you supremely.
