Isaiah 41:10 says "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand." When we are going through things we pray for healing. But sometimes we think we know what that healing is supposed to look like in our minds...and that may be different than what God has for us. I love this verse in Isaiah because it basically says "don't be scared...I've got you". If you are going through something and looking for healing, try not to tell God what that healing needs to look like. Be open to His healing for your life and KNOW that His outcome will ultimately be better than anything you could imagine. God sees the big picture and when we are in the middle of something that can be very difficult for us to see. However, when God sees all and bases His healing on that...many lives can be changed, restored, made better and His kingdom can be advanced. In the midst of our problems it is so easy for us to get hung up on just getting things better for ourselves. But God's ways are not our ways, and in the end I am so grateful for that!
God, thank you for showing me that Your healing over my life will be better than anything I could have wished for on my own. Use my trial and my healing to advance your kingdom and let my life help point the way for others to find hope in You! In Jesus name, Amen!
