Endure and Inherit
Are there nights when you feel just too physically ill to sleep? Coughing, sneezing, a burning fever or inflamed joints cannot only weaken your physical body, but your spiritual stamina as well.
Satan will usually take full advantage of the situation and bring thoughts like "Why am I going through this? Have I failed God? Isn't He my Healer?" to torment you.
Be patient and endure. Believe me, Jesus IS your Healer! But sometimes it takes time, patience and endurance before we inherit His promise of health.
On this subject, the writer of Hebrews tells us, "Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise...imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises" (Hebrews 10:35-36, 6:12, NKJV).
Beloved, during those long, pain-wracked nights, don't stop reaching out to Him in hope and faith. Let patience and endurance do its perfect work, and you will be healed!
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for sustaining me through the difficult times when illness strikes. Right now, I renew my confidence in You as my Healer, and ask You for my body to be healed. Let patience and endurance do its perfect work in me. For although Satan has intended this affliction for evil, I know that You will turn it around for my utmost good as You perfect Your Son in me! Thank you, Father! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
