Dealing With Health Issues

Many of us struggle with health issues both in our bodies and in our minds. The Bible tells us that whatever we allow our minds to dwell on has a major impact on our physical well-being. God’s desire is that we prosper as we obey the principles in His word. God wants us to be in good health and have a cheerful heart which He says brings healing to our body and soul. God also informs us that a crushed heart will struggle with sickness and depression.

Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering. A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression. (3 John 1:2: Proverbs 17:22 TPT)

When we were in addiction, we thought that drugs, alcohol, or unhealthy relationships, or all of them together would help us have a good life.

However, we were wrong in that assessment because dependencies never bring relief or healing to troubled souls. They increase the need for more of the same numbing medication. If we continue medicating ourselves and doing what is right in our own eyes, Satan will work to enslave us to whatever we substitute for God’s goodness.

Even though I’ve seen their ways, I will heal them. I will guide them forward and repay them with comfort, giving mourners the language of praise. (Isaiah 57:18 TPT)

When we commit to following the ways of the Lord, He promises healing and freedom from whatever has caused us harm. Our part is to improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation on the Scriptures applying these principles in all our affairs. God invites us to share in his wonderful goodness and He will give us the will and the power to do what pleases Him.

Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. (2 Timothy 3:16 CEV)

Prayer: Gracious God, I am truly blessed that You want me to share in Your goodness. Please give me the will and desire to learn and then do what pleases You. Amen
