Holy God,

I love You. You are great. Glorious. Good. Gracious. Loving. Kind. Jehovah Rophe - The God who has healed, is in the process of healing and will heal and restore to health (Exodus 15:26).

Mm. How I thank You Father. Thank You for healing that is to come.

We get to look to You. Come before You. With our every need. Whether physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, relational or environmental. You are here for it all. Thank You for Your provisions.

Thank You for the ready access we have to the history of Your care. Reading back at Moses’ Song of Deliverance (Exodus 15:1-21) how I thank You for Your victories. Thank You for Your faithfulness.

We, Your people, are fickle. You are constant. Thank You that You are. At Marah, You set before Your people “a standard to test their faithfulness” to You (Exodus 15:25).

You told Moses, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, obeying His commands and keeping all His decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you” (v. 26).

Father God, thank You that You ARE Jehovah Rophe!

Directed over to Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth (Ephesians 3:14-21) again I thank You for providing our every need. Your glorious, unlimited resources empower us with inner strength through Your Holy Spirit (v. 16).

Jesus makes His home in our hearts as we trust in Him (17a). Our roots grow down into Your love and keep us strong (17b). Paul prayed ‘the power to understand, as all Your people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Your love is’ (18).

He wanted “to strengthen the believers in Ephesus in their relationships” with You and each other. Praying they would “experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully” (19a). Then they would “be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God” (19b).

Yes please Lord. I come before You. Looking to You for healing of what I do not understand. “Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” (20).

I am asking Your healing Lord. In myself. And for others. We love You. Need You. Want You. Worship and adore You. Use me in Your process. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
