He Wounds And Heals

Job 5: 18-19

For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds and His hands also heal. From six troubles He will deliver you, even in seven evil will not touch you. 

God surely did allow me to be injured and wounded, and He also extended His gracious hand of healing to me. 

He brought to me loved ones who had been far away, and He strengthened friendships with some who had been distant. 

And He prepared my body and soul to endure this time of weakness, in giving me excellent physical and mental health. 

O my Father, thank You for being our great God Almighty. Thank You for being our standard for good and right, and for giving us Life and health and means to survive and thrive on this Earth You made for us.

Thank You for designing our bodies to heal themselves when what is harming is removed. Thank You for teaching us Your wisdom in handling and dealing with the material World that surrounds us, and for Your Holy Spirit to make our spirits alive, and awake to Your quiet voice in our inner being, whispering, "this is the way, walk here." 

Thank You, Father, for being our God, the One we need to weather the storms of life and enjoy the good things You desire to bless us with. You are the only One we need, in good times and in bad, in scarcity and in abundance, our Light in the darkness. 

Father, continue to open my eyes to see more and more of You, what You are doing, and my part in cooperating with You in promoting Your Kingdom; that Your will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. 

And You will receive all the glory, both now and forevermore. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
