He Cares for You - Healing Prayer Serivce

He Cares for You (Reflections of the Healing Prayer Service)

Thanks Dan for Inspiration

God provides great words to touch those who open their hearts. From scripture come these words: Bow humbly under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time he may lift you high. Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you. (1 Ptr 5:6-7)

We come here tonight to pray for healing. In these prayers and words are healing. They tell us of God’s love which is the most awesome healing power there is.

We just need to take that love into our heart’s and return it to God.

It is the fire of God’s love that frees us from our suffering and purges us of our sins. In the fire of God’s love, the light of his grace brings us the strength of hope and the peace of his presence.

It is a fire that burns hot and strong, so we tend to keep at a distance; even those who think we’re religious. Because, the  truth is we try to control everything.

We forget to open ourselves to God’s love and return it. We forget God is our loving Father who cares for each and every one of us. Because we’ve neglected God, we think God has forgotten about us.  

We forget to bow before Him. We forget to praise Him. We forget His mercy. We forget to return His love.

Then we come to a crisis. We get angry and in that anger shout at God. It’s alright to be angry. It’s alright to shout and ask God why. It’s alright because He cares. He loves. He forgives.

It’s alright. Because, in this anger, shouting, and questioning, we recognize that we don’t control everything. Everything is in God’s control.

 From Psalms 62

• In God is my safety and glory the rock of my strength
• In God alone is my soul at rest, my help comes from him. 
• In God alone be at rest my soul, for my hope comes from him

Pray to God and offer him your suffering, your illness, your crisis. Pray to our Heavenly Father for his mercy. Pray to Lord Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician for strength, hope and healing.  Pray to the Holy Spirit to know the peace and joy of God’s presence. Pray for forgiveness. Pray often.

I am filled with joyed when my wife, children or someone tells me “I love you.” I never get tired of hearing those words. That’s our prayers to God, the “I love you” from us to God.

Praise God, offer Him all our suffering. Give our pain to the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered for us. Our Heavenly Father brings grace, peace and joy, because as the scripture tells, He cares for you.
