Healed Through Jesus’ Name
Often, when we come into recovery, we have no sense of why our life problems took us down the road of addiction. What we do know is that we are now powerless over our dependency and our life is unmanageable. We know we need healing but are unable to accurately express what we need healing for. In our grief we cried out to God for understanding and relief from our troubled spirit.
O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. (Psalm 30:2 ESV)
Looking back, we can see our life path included relationships with people who were harmful to our well-being. Then our own poor decisions started us on the downward spiral of despair and into addiction. What is the root cause of this? The Bible tells us that we have an enemy of our soul who works hard to keep us on the path of slavery to sin. Jesus wants the eyes of all those who do not know Him to be opened so they can have full knowledge of what really keeps them in the bondage.
Anyone who is tired and worn out can come to Jesus and He will heal and restore them. In His company each person receives the grace and strength needed to turn their lives around. Daily meditation on the Scriptures is also required to give understanding of the principles that will take us forward to a purposeful life that will last forever.
Then listen to this, you and all the people of Israel! You nailed Jesus Christ of Nazareth to the cross. But God raised him from the dead. It is through Jesus’ name that this man stands healed in front of you. (Acts 4:10 NIRV)
Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You for opening my eyes to see that Jesus laid down His life that I might be forgiven and restored to a place in Your family forever. Amen
