TODAY’S WORD…

.

He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.

.

– Psalm 147:3 (NLT)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Think of those who you know are trapped in despair, self-pity and depression.

Bring them to Jesus.

.

Think of those who carry anger in their heart

or, maybe, thoughts of revenge.

Also those who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, money…

Bring them to Jesus.

.

Rather than gossip about and bad-mouth these people,

which is so un-Christian, cruel and hypocritical,

let us lovingly speak to Jesus about them;

bring them to Him in prayer;

and entrust them into His caring, healing hands,

that He may set them free from their chains.

.

Jesus came to set the captives free (Cf. Lk 4:16-21),

to bring us freedom,

and we all need Jesus to unbind us and set us free

from whatever may be mastering us.

.

Let us go to Jesus in faith

– He loves, forgives, and heals.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Jesus, I lift up to you all those who need Your healing.

I too need You, Lord, and lift myself to You.

Jesus, forgive us and heal us; comfort and console us.
