~ PRAYER FOR OUR HEALTH @everyone
Beloved, GIVING THANKS FOR HEALING when we are well is easy isn’t it?
But often, when we are well we take our health for granted and forget to thank God for his healing.
God has created an amazing self-healing body that seems to cope even when we give it feed on junk food, little rest, and sometimes enormous stress.
We must take time out to thank God daily for our health and that of our loved ones.
Now, giving thanks while we are sick can be hard –
It takes faith, doesn’t it?
But, praise and thanks belong to our God in any circumstances.
It takes immersing ourself in God’s Word, discovering what He says about sickness and health.
His Word says that He is one who heals us, He sends His word for healing and He is the rewarder of long life.
Thanksgiving has a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. The Word tells us that a cheerful heart (which comes from a thankful attitude) is medicine for our body.
Proverbs 17:22 says “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”
It has been proven that laughter decreases the levels of cortisol, which are stress hormones in our body. Cortisol acts by constricting our blood vessels while good endorphins are released when we laugh.
It’s interesting that Psalm 107 bundles healing with thanksgiving.
There are many issues related to healing,
the “whys” and “how’s” and
”when will I be healed” questions are hard to answer.
The Word of God is very clear about His willingness to heal us. This should be the more reason to than Him for our health on a daily basis.
“He sent his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death. Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.” Psalm 107:20-22
”He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation” Psalm 91:16
But we know that God loves us. We know that He has a good plan for us. We know that whatever happens God will bring good out of any health issues that we may have.
We must trust Him and be thankful while we wait.
NOW LET US PRAY
Father God, thank You for creating us.
Thank You for Your healing power over our bodies.
You know everything about us.
You know when and where we hurt.
You know the cells of each of our body – the good ones and the bad ones.
Father I thank You for Your healing Word.
I pray that You will open my eyes to see, understand and trust in Your healing words today.
I praise You for Your great love. I thank You for the wonderful things that You have done for me.
Thank you for Jesus who bore wounds in his body so that I would be healed in mine.
Please help me foster a cheerful heart today.
Lord, keep my spirit, my inner man strong and healthy as only You can.
In Jesus Mighty name, I pray. Amen 
Have a blessed day
