Speaker 0 00:00:01 This is Pastor Steve at Westside Church in Bend, Oregon. Throughout these 21 days, we will spend some time every day in prayer together. After today's episode, find more resources for you and your
[email protected] slash 21 days. Welcome to day eight. Jesus is the healer. Healing was central to the ministry of Jesus and I, my prayer is that we would make it central to our ministry as well. Psalm 1 0 3, verse two and three reminds us to praise the Lord oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Healing of the body, soul, and spirit is one of the greatest needs for the gospel expression today. As we focus on Jesus as our healer, may we be the hands and feet of his body to administer wholeness, believing that he is as incarnate through us today as he was when he walked the earth. So join me as we pray.
Speaker 0 00:01:12 Father, we read in the Bible that entire villages <laugh> or play place their faith in you because of the miraculous healing that you did. So we pray, Lord, for that same miraculous healing to happen in our own communities, in our churches, in our lives. We also pray, father, for the mental health crisis that is taking place in our communities and in our world. We pray for children and youth and young adults to experience a soundness of mind. We pray that your church would become a place of refuge, healing, and hope for everyone. In Jesus' name, amen.
