Devotion I am working on.
FEARFUL HEART
“Say to those who are of a fearful heart, “Be strong, fear not!” Isaiah 35:4
When you are in the hospital, or are visiting the hospital room of someone you care about deeply, this can be a time that is charged with emotion. Many times, we face these difficulties with great fear.
With God’s help, we can be strong and not have any fear for ourselves or for others.
When you have a health challenge, take it to God in prayer. Attune yourself to the Divine healing power of God. God is your Creator that gave you life, and this same Creator can give you new life. This renewing, revitalizing power is continuously at work, in and
through you, strengthening and perfecting every cell. Center your faith in this life-giving power and let go of anxious, fearful thoughts. There is no condition more powerful than God’s healing activity.
If there are loved ones or friends who have a need for health and wholeness, pray for them, knowing that with them and within them is the life-giving power of God. Whatever the condition, whatever the appearance, you have faith to know that they are one with God. The healing activity of God can do a perfect work for them.
You pray for yourself and others. You are blessed with wholeness; and you are a blessing to those that you are praying for today. In the absence of fear you have new and profound strength, directly from God.
In Philippians 4:13, our Bible states, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me!”
“All things” include profound healing.
Praying to God for Divine healing under girds our fine doctors, nurses, and medicines, providing a strong, stable, and lasting support.
An interoffice softball game was held every year between the marketing and support staff of one company.
The support staff whipped the marketing department soundly.
To show just “how” the marketing department earns their keep, they posted this memo on the bulletin board after the game:
“The Marketing Department is pleased to announce that for the 1996 Softball Season, we came in 2nd place, having lost but one game all year. The Support Department, however, had a rather dismal season, as they won only one game.”
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
The gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!”
