A Thorn in the Flesh vs Healing

3/15/2018

Bro. Raymond Cox sent this prayer in.

 

Lord Jesus, heal me. Heal in me whatever you need to see that needs healing. Heal me of whatever might separate me from You, Heal my memory, heal my heart, heal my emotions, heal my spirit, heal my body, and heal my soul. Lay Yur hands gently upon me and heal me through Your love for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

It is needful to be healed of things that God thinks need healing and not just what we want healing of. Remember what Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

We at times complain about things that happen to us and then latter when we look back we see where God used that incident for the his glory.

Lord help us to accept the things that come, blessings as well as troubles. Help us show you and your love in all the things that come our way. Amen.
