Jeremiah 17:14 NIV – Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; – Bible Gateway https://share.google/BaWcTnKBF2lhgdqB6

I am sure that I am not the only one who has come to the realization that we are not able to do everything! It is a very depressing and discouraging feeling!  We may at first feel like we are going under; but, we actually are at a place that God will be able to step in.  We can either stay in our defeated mindset; or, we can let the Spirit come in and restore.

I was recalling that when Jesus was on the Earth, there were times when people came to Him asking if He was willing to heal. One of those times was when a leper inquired if He was willing to heal him. Jesus responded that He was willing (Matthew 8:2-4).  In that same chapter, a centurion came to the Lord begging for his servant to be delivered from paralysis.  When the Lord asked if he should come to the centurion’s place, he made a bold declaration that it only took Jesus’ word to restore the servant. Both of these times, faith was exhibited. Faith is turning the situation over to God.

Yes, we may have a little knowledge of our problems and how the outcome would be most benefitial; but, God is all-knowing and sees the total picture. That leads me to when Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane. He placed the situation of being taken away by the soldiers to death before God.  Instead of praying for His will, He placed it at the feet of the Father (Luke 22:42).  It was faith, the trust in God, that gave the key to the salvation of the world.

I personally have the healings of my husband, mother, and brother-in-law to place before Jesus.  Lord, have your way in my life and in those who read this.  In Jesus’ name, Amen! God bless everyone as they give themselves to Him!
