Healing Grace

healing graceFrom the moment God thought of us, in the point of our conception, while we were forming in our Mother’s womb; our sex, our eye color, and all other physical attributes were designed by God. We are beautifully and wonderfully made. God was in control from the beginning and He will be in control in the everlasting.

This world loves to give credit, recognition, and praise to individuals for personal, outstanding achievements. Yet, it fails to recognize the grace by which all of us breathe. We live, move and have our being in God’s grace. Daily, God renews His mercy towards us and He gives us life, strength, and the environment to live and have purpose. We are commanded to give God glory in all that we do (1 Cor 10:31). Every time we receive and accept praise without giving Him the glory, we diminish His power working in our lives.

In most cultures, Physicians are admired, honored, and respected. It is a highly-skilled profession that requires tremendous amounts of education and study. Sadly, the world will recognize the healing produced from a doctor’s gift and forget praising the Giver. In comparison, we enjoy the comforts and benefits of a clean, well-maintained hospital, which is essential to the healing process of patients, yet fail to give honor to custodians for their work. In all good and perfect things God is at work, either in the minds and hands of Doctors, our in the sterility of the operating room. Through all things God is in control. In our pain and suffering, our faith in Him will always bring healing. Either through death and the ultimate healing of taking us home to be with Him, or through temporary healing so that we may continue to give Him glory with our lives. His grace is sufficient.

Prayer of Dependence

Father God!
We are dependent upon You
We are helpless and broken in spirit
We are desperate beggars for Your perfect provision
Only in You will we find true peace and comfort
Only in You we find love, mercy and grace
We come to Your throne of grace, not in our power, but by the authority of the blood of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ
Whom You have given all power and authority over us
It is by power of His Name and through Him we petition for Your mercy to cleanse us of inequity
It is by power of His Name we ask for You to heal our wounds
It is by power of His Name we ask for Your peace to comfort us
It is by power of His Name we ask for wisdom to do the things we can do to testify to His glory
It is by power of His Name we ask for increased faith to trust You in and through all things
May we give you honor and glory through our valleys of despair and our mountain-tops of joy

We praise You! Father God!
We praise You! Holy Spirit!
We praise You! Jesus! Son of God! Savior of sinners!

In Jesus’ Wonderful Name we pray,
Amen
