When we are feeling sick we usually go to the doctor so that we can find out what might be wrong with us. We list the symptoms we are experiencing and the doctor who has been trained to recognize symptoms associated with certain diseases will make a diagnosis. If the doctor is uncertain about the correct diagnosis, further tests may be needed to rule out other causes. When we come to recognize we are powerless over our dependencies and our life is unmanageable where do we go for help? Do we look to those who are trained in addiction recovery and to God who is the expert in every disease of mankind?
I am God Most High! The only sacrifice I want is for you to be thankful and to keep your word. Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me. (Psalm 50:14-15 CEV)
Don’t ever think that you are wise enough but respect the Lord and stay away from evil. This will make you healthy, and you will feel strong. (Proverbs 3:7-8 CEV)
When we give our will and life over to God’s care, God is already aware of everything that brought us to the point of despair. The wonderful thing about God is, when we call out to Him, He will answer us and will help us get well. Why? Because we are made in His image and precious in His sight.
No one wants you as a friend or cares what happens to you. But I will heal your injuries, and you will get well. (Jeremiah 30:17 CEV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I confess I am sick at heart and ask You to heal me and make me whole. Thank You for caring for me. Amen
