EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 18: For physical health
Pray for physical health. It was beautiful how Jesus healed people - He didn't just teach and ignore the physical needs of people, but He addressed those needs. There's no spiritual-physical dichotomy - God created our bodies and cares for them. Pray for those who are sick. Pray for those in our community who are facing chronic health issues. Pray for those who are dealing with severe illnesses. Pray for our children who are facing health ills. And pray for safety during this winter season. Pray that we would be physically strong so we can serve God. And when God allows us to be sick, pray that we would call upon God for help. We count on God even for medical treatments to be effective. We need to acknowledge God's hand upon all these needs.
"When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.” - Matthew 14:14 ESV
"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” - James 5:13–15 ESV
