requesting healing

Jehovah Rapha,

“The God who heals.” Yes! You are the God who heals. Thank You Father.

Continuing with the theme of healing begun the other night, I am thrilled to learn more. Lord God, thank You for those who have gone before us, writing down the Truth of Your Word.

Thank You for those who have studied and shared their findings that we may indeed have hope in Your powerful name. Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. Our Great Healer.

Father, You know the needs of this world. This nation. Every community. Each individual. All hurting. Or lost. In some small way or another. We are people requesting Your healing.

Able to read of the bitter waters at Marah (Exodus 15:22-27) I am again reminded how fickle we, Your people, can be. It’s so easy to get caught in traps of despair. Thank You that Your way is so much better.

Your words in verse 26 present quite the challenge. Listen carefully to the voice of the LORD our God. Do what is right in Your sight. And obey Your commands. Sure. Yeah. We can do that. Except for all the times we don’t.

Father God. Jehovah Rapha. The God who heals. We trust You. We need You. All of our hope is in You. Work in, with, by, through and for us in ways that only You are able. Healing our hurts. Our fears. Our past.

You said it at the very end of verse 26. “For I am the LORD who heals you.” We want Your healing Lord. Thank You. Praise You.

“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” (Ephesians 3:20). Yes! You. Our Jehovah Rapha! Use us to Your honor and glory. Amen.
