Prayer for Restoration

But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’ – Jeremiah 30:17

The world is in a terrible state of decay. Just the other day on TV, there was news about some parents killing their own child while another set of adults were molesting little children. I wonder what this world is coming to. There is a total and blatant disregard for human life and for the law. People have stopped caring and it really shows. The most dangerous diseases are the ones of the inside that no-one can’t see. Most of us are hurting in places the human eye cannot see – in the mind, the heart and the soul. We are carrying around residues of dysfunctional childhoods and stinking thinking. If the human body was like a drain, for most of us, it will be so backed up that there will be no room for fresh water to flow. We walk around as if everything is good. We portray a sense of freedom that experientially eludes us. When we go home and shut the door behind us, our true self comes out and it is not a pretty sight. We listen to the preacher go on and on about breakthrough we cannot really see. Everything sounds good at the prayer meeting until we get into the car to drive home and the reality of our circumstances hit us.

God is the ultimate healer. No motivational speaker or self help book can heal us. We can feel better for a while with these resources but all that will soon pass especially when the tough circumstance we are confronted with refuses to subside. Only God can truly restore us to health in all areas of our lives because His healing is from the inside out. Regardless of where we have been and what we have done, God loves us and He cares about us. Reach out to God for your healing and restoration today.
