Thanksgiving In Jer 17 (Mar 11)

Thank God for Being Our Healer

Backgrounder on Jeremiah 16-20:
Jeremiah himself becomes object
lesson for what is soon to befall
Judah. The prophet is commanded
to remain celibate and avoids feast
days; a reminder to his countrymen
that they will soon experience
involuntarily what Jeremiah is
called to experience voluntarily.
For loss of comfort and joy await
God’s rebellious people. But then
God’s discipline is still redemptive.

Lord, U bless those who Cling to U:
Blessed is the (one) who Trusts
in the Lord, whose confidence
is in Him. They will be like a tree
planted by the water that sends
out its roots by the stream. It does
not fear when heat comes; its
leaves are always green. It has no
worries in a year of drought and
never fails to Bear Fruit (Jer 17:7-8)
Heal me O Lord & I will be Healed,
Save me and I shall be saved, for
U are the one I praise(J17:14) Amen

Lord, I put my complete Trust in U
for You are my hope & confidence.
Help me to never turn from You.
Instead let my roots go deep into U
as I feed in your Word each day.
And thank you for Your promise
to bring forth fruit in my life and
to make my soul prosperous
even in the long dry spells.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, You are good & I trust in You
for You are my hope & confidence.
Draw me ever closer to You and
give me a passion to seek You.
Help me to Be Fruitful even during
life’s periodic hard and dry times.
Help me to put my roots deep
into You and your Word that I be
able to endure dry times and wait
for Your sure deliverance. Amen.

Lord, how grateful I am that U came
as our Healer besides our Saviour.
In your mercy, I ask for Your healing
touch upon my friends who need it.
As I had experienced Your healing
a few times before, I know when
You heal them, they can be healed
completely. At the same time,
I ask for discipline to take proper
care of my physical body. Amen.
