Many of us pray each day for healing….for ourselves, our loved ones, and for people around the world. We pray for the healing of bodies, hearts, minds, and relationships. The gospels record many instances of Jesus healing people. “And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.” (Matthew 4:23) The Old Testament describes God’s healing presence. Psalm 147:3 reads, “God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Our God heals, and we are invited to pray trusting that healing will come. It may not occur the way we expected, and it may not happen as quickly as we would like, yet healing will come. I have never forgotten what a wise pastor told me years ago. He said that death is the final healing. Ultimately our Lord will heal us, and we will be made whole. May God bless your week! Diane Cooke, Pastor, Presbyterian Churches, Willow Springs and Mtn.
