Read James 5:14-15.
Are any among you sick? The answer is obvious. Jesus had compassion for those who were hurting. The Gospels have thirty-seven different miracle stories where Jesus either healed someone or another miraculous act. The Gospels do not tell the whole story. He performed many miracles that were not recorded. We serve a God who can heal. We believe that or we would not take time to have a prayer list or be encouraged to pray for one another. Prayer makes a difference in the one praying and the circumstances we are praying about. John Wesley once said, "God does nothing but in answer to prayer." While I do not think the statement is completely true it shows us his strong belief in prayer. Let us pray to Jehovah Rapha trusting Him for healing and help. We pray in faith trusting God for healing and for intervention and leave the results up to the will and purpose of God.
Jehovah Rapha, I pray for healing in my body, emotions, relationships and my life. I pray for healing and God size miracles. I put my whole trust in you, your mercy, your grace, and your will to be done. Amen.
