Prayer for healing
Prayer for perfect healing goes to my heart. God knows how I long to be well and able to do more. But yesterday as I read Psalm 84:11, “No good thing will He withhold from them that live a godly life,” I wondered if He would not rather the emphasis were laid on this: “Draw us so into accord with Thyself that no good thing shall be withheld,” instead of: “Health is a good thing. Lord, give it.”
More than three times I have prayed Paul’s prayer, but so far always the answer has been the one that came to him: “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Cor. 12:9).
Any day that might change. What is an illness to Him? One touch and it would be gone. But I wonder if the Lord is saying not only to me but also to you, “See to it that you are in perfect accord with Me and then trust Me to withhold no good thing.”
If health is that good thing, oh, how joyful it will be! Every morning I awaken with the hope, “Perhaps today.” But I want first to want His will, be that will mine or not. It is there that prayer can help most.
