Luke 22:51
When we come to Christ, we come for healing. Whatever the manifestation of our pain, whether physical, emotional or spiritual, healing lies at the center of our need. When we suffer, our attention is directed to the source of our pain, and with precision targeting, we fixate our desires on one thing: healing. And our prayer rises to the ears of God, "Please, Lord. No more of this!"
"No more of this!", we pray to the Lord
No more violence.
No more death.
No more lies.
No more fighting.
No more destroyed relationships.
No more pain.
No more suffering.
No more....
Lord, hear our prayer
"You can say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon
We hope for a world in which "No more of this" will be and unnecessary cry. We declare these things, but words do not make them true. The enemy stands ready and waiting to respond with delight, "Yes! MORE of this! Much MORE of this!"
Sin drags us down.
We become more and more weak.
Ready to give up.
And we resolve to ourselves that we are just dreamers. The only one.
Lord, we come to you in need of healing. We're broken in body, mind and spirit. Messed up from the day we were born. Yet you, in your love, grace and mercy, can mend all wounds, heal all of our hurts and repair all relationships. Come, Lord, and heal all that hemorrhages in our lives. Amen
