Healing From Heaven
October 3, 2011

Thomas Moore (1779–1852) was an Irish songwriter, singer, and poet. His talents brought joy to many who saw him perform or who sang his music. Yet, tragically, his personal life was troubled by repeated heartaches, including the death of all five of his children during his lifetime. Moore’s personal wounds make these words of his all the more meaningful: “Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.” This moving statement reminds us that meeting with God in prayer can bring healing to the troubled soul.

The apostle Paul also saw how our heavenly Father can provide solace to the hurting heart. To the believers at Corinth he wrote: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation” (2 Cor. 1:3-4). Sometimes, though, we can be so preoccupied with an inner sorrow that we isolate ourselves from the One who can offer consolation. We need to be reminded that God’s comfort and healing come through prayer.

As we confide in our Father, we can experience peace and the beginning of healing for our wounded hearts. For truly “earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
There I find comfort, and there I am blessed. —Cushing

Prayer is the soil in which hope and healing grow best.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:1-10

Blessed be . . . the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. —2 Corinthians 1:3
Bible in a year:
Isaiah 17-19; Ephesians 5:17-33

“King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 91

1.He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3.Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4.He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6.Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8.Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9.Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10.There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12.They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14.Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15.He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16.With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
***********************************************************

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 101

1.I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2.I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3.I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4.A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5.Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6.Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7.He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8.I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”

Our LORD has given us His Word. When we dwell on His Word we are communicating with God. He is a wise teacher.
Many are His promises.

“King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 40

1.I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2.He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3.And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4.Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5.Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6.Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7.Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8.I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

9.I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

10.I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11.Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12.For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13.Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

14.Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15.Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

16.Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

17.But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.”

************************************************************

Whatever the need, circumstance ... God is the answer and it is in His Word!”
Hallelujah!!!
