1 Peter 2:24 NIV

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

A late night

Text

Unexpected

But urgent

A dear friend

In the hospital

Asking for

Prayer.

Lord I come

Before you

Asking for

That Healing Touch

From head to

Toe

Body

Spirit and

Soul.

You’ve seen

Her heartbreak

You’ve seen her

Pain

You’ve seen

Her struggles

You’ve touched

Her before

Healed her

And comforted

Her

Through loss

And pain

Poor health and

So much more,

And I come

Before you asking

You to

Heal her again.

*When one of your best friends texts at 10:12 P.M letting you know she’s in the hospital, you abandon all plans to get to bed, and you pray woth her via text message, while shes in the hospital. At least thats what I do.*
