Daily Healing
Daily Healing
“Continue steadfast in prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2 NIV84
When you pray for healing, it is important to recognize that God frequently chooses to heal progressively rather than instantaneously.
Everyone loves an instant healing—when the blind instantly see, or the lame instantly walk. These immediate miracles certainly build our faith and glorify Christ.
Don’t underestimate, however, the significance of God’s progressive healing.
In Paul’s exhortation of steadfast prayer, notice the two words he emphasizes—watchful and thankful. “Continue steadfast in prayer, being watchful and thankful.”
When you pray for healing, you want to remain watchful because God often chooses to heal progressively; and you certainly want to also remain thankful for every little answer to prayer that leads toward your complete healing.
Father God I stop to praise you today for all your daily healing in Jesus name.
