“Your faith has saved and healed you.” (Mark 10:52 MSG)
Many of us have heard the term ‘faith healing’--when someone is healed because of prayer and faith. Many of us who believe in God have prayed for healing. However, the results are not always what we hope for; this often leads to diminished faith.
What if we changed the words slightly to ‘trust healing’? Like a cancer patient who places himself under the care of a reputable oncologist, we know there will be good days and bad days. When we trust God to heal us, it is a continuous process. We are completely at His mercy. We know He is able and compassionate. We show up in front of Him for regular appointments--in prayer and thanksgiving. We listen and follow His directions. We remain confident in His care.
Lord, I trust you to heal me and my loved ones. Thank You.
Thank you. I needed to read this this morning as a reminder. Faith healing. Trust healing. Patience for the healing. Believe it will happen and you will see signs we are being heard. Maybe not on our terms, but we don't make the rules.
