To the God who heals:
Lord, I can't help but think about my dad who died from cancer. Friends gone from this world before they gained gray hairs. Alzheimer's disease and dementia. We are all destined to die once and then the judgment. But You are the God who said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who heals you."
And I know that You heal from so much more than diseases. I have been the recipient of Your healing when You gave me a new heart in Christ, when You healed me from agreements I made with Satan's lies, when You restored relationships that I had ripped apart. You are the Healer of our sicknesses and our sin. You heal bodies, minds, marriages, and mistakes. You are never too late, because the ultimate healing is standing in Your presence and knowing Truth.
Thank You, Healer God, for wanting more for us than what this life offers. Thank You for providing the sacrifice and shedding the blood that heals us from our foulest enemy, death. And, thank You, too, for the small mercies, the shrunken tumors, the healed bones, the bodies that You created for us that are programmed to heal on the cellular level. You are amazing, God. We worship You, the YHWH Rophe.
