| Today’s Verse: He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. – Psalm 147:3 We all at times have had physical illnesses and wounds that seemed to almost never heal, but by God’s grace, we eventually are able to recover physically, but serious illness or injury has the ability to wound our minds and hearts, that take considerably longer, and some live with painful memories, even fear or doubts for years. Even when we are being assured by the doctor and comforted by family, some are still afraid to be alone because they constantly worried that at any time their symptoms could return. When we keep dwelling on our wounds, we delay the healing as they stay fresh in our minds. Medications can suppress the agony, mundane activities can divert the pain, but they only provide temporary relief. If we desire true healing, only God can reach the depths of our hearts. So do not keep dwelling on past hurts and let go of old pain, animosity and resentment. Open up to our heavenly Father, invite him into your heart, and you will find true peace. Today’s Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, I invite You into my heart and mind as I let go of all the pain and resentment that I have nurtured all these years. Heal my body, heal my mind, heal my soul and help my unbelief. Lord, please cleanse me from all unrighteousness and heal my broken heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
