Dear God,
God by Your own word, Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change…..” and neither does Your Son, for in, Hebrews 13: 8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Again God, by Your own words, we are told we will always be in your ‘sights’ and care, which ultimately means: about nothing, do we need to fear. Joshua 1: 5 “……..as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” Moses gave counsel that reflected how God over the long years had cared for the children of Israel, and spoke these words to them, Deuteronomy 31: 6 “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
We know that Jesus during His earthly ministry was moved with compassion for those with sicknesses and other afflictions. This is evidenced by His frequent interventions. Matthew 8: 17 “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.’”
Not only did You care for the sick and afflicted in the Old Testament record, but In the New Testament Record, through the ministry of Jesus, and later, through the Holy Spirit moving upon the disciples of Jesus. Now we do not have Jesus living on the earth in human form, but I am so grateful, that the Holy Spirit came down to earth, as Jesus promised, and brings Jesus into our hearts in a close saving relationship.
Because Jesus and You His Father never change, we are assured that You still care about our every affliction and sickness and often intervene in answer to fervent prevailing prayer. Today, we still have the assurance of James 1: 17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
I praise Your Holy names, and ask that I be filled with Your Holy Spirit, and thereby be filled with Joy, as You walk with me, during all times and aspects of my life.
Amen
