If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
A Time to Think
I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world. –Mother Teresa
A Time to Act
Be the subtle voice that helps another in need.
A Time to Pray
Lord, show me new ways to bring comfort and healing in Your name.
I thought that was interesting what Mother Teresa said.

OurPrayer - Power of Prayer
Prayer for Healing
A classic devotion from Daily Guideposts to help you find comfort and healing in your moment of need.
By Eleanor Sass
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. II Corinthians 12:9
In a little town in the French Pyrenees, there is a shrine celebrated for miracles of healing. As the story goes, an amputee veteran of World War II appeared there one day. As he hobbled up to the shrine, a bystander remarked, “Poor man. Does he think God will give him back his leg?” The veteran overheard him.
“No, sir,” he replied, “I don’t expect God to give me back my leg. I am going to pray to Him to help me live without it.”
I’ve always liked this story because when I was 8 years old, after a bad case of measles, I began to lose my hearing. My loss was a gradual one. Today, I have about twenty percent hearing in each ear. Well-meaning Christian friends often suggest that I ask God to give me back my hearing. When they do, I tell them that I have done this but, so far, my hearing has not been restored.
Still, when I pray to Him to help me live with my loss, I believe He answers. Lip reading skills and two hearing aids enable me to hold a job and get along just fine in the world. What’s more important, through my dependence on the power of Christ, I find I am able to hear Him a whole lot better. And that, I have found, is the greatest gift of all.
Dear Lord Jesus, help me each day to accept my infirmities and lean on You.
