Knowing and Being Known

Scripture Reading

Psalm 139:1-3

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Reflection
To be fully known is one of the deepest human longings — and also one of the deepest fears. We hide because we fear that full knowledge will bring rejection. But God's searching gaze is not the gaze of a judge cataloguing faults; it is the gaze of a lover who knows every corner of the beloved and chooses them still. Rest today in the astonishing truth that you are completely known and completely loved.
Prayer for Today
Lord Jesus, thank you that you love [name of person who needs healing]. I know that you hate what their illness is doing to them/me. I ask, in the name of Jesus, that you would heal this disease, that you would have compassion and bring healing from all
sickness.




Your word says in Psalm 107:19-20 that when we call out to you the Eternal one you will give the order, heal and rescue us from certain death. In the Bible, I have read of miraculous healing and I believe that you still heal the same way today. I believe
that there is no illness you cannot heal after all the bible tells of you raising people from the dead so I ask for your healing in this situation.


I also know from my experience of life on earth that not everyone is healed if that happens here than keep my heart soft towards you, help me to understand your plan and help me to be excited about heaven.


Lord Jesus, thank you that our hope for healing is in you. If there are doctors or treatments that you would want to use to heal this disease I pray that you would guide [name of person who needs healing] to them. I ask for wisdom and discernment about
which treatments to pursue.


God, I thank you that [name of person who needs healing] belongs to you and that you are in control of everything that happens from our first breath to our last sigh.


Amen.

Amen.
