Jehovah Rapha Our Healer
Backgrounder to Exodus 13-15:
.     Delivering the people from
 Egyptian bondage is only the first
step in God’s plan to bring the 
Israelites to the Promised Land
of Canaan. Many obstacles lies
 ahead. Trapped between the
 Red Sea & the rapidly approaching
 chariots of Egypt, the people cry
out in desperation & God answers
in miraculous fashion. And as
 they proceed on arid land and as
 resources run out, God supplies.
Lord, You Heal & Give Strength:
.          Then Moses stretched out his hand
over the sea; and the Lord caused 
the sea to go back… and the
 waters were divided (Exo 14:21)
 Then Moses and the children of
 Israel sang this song: The Lord is
my strength and He has become
my salvation; He is my God,
and I will praise Him (Ex 15:1-2)
Moses cried to the Lord for help
 & the Lord showed him a branch.
 Moses took the branch and threw
it into the water. This made the
 water good to drink. It was there
at Marah that the Lord test their
 faithfulness to him: if u will obey
 his commands, then I’ll not make
 you suffer the diseases I sent on
 the Egyptians, for I am the Lord
 Who Heals (Exo 15:25-26) Amen.
Lord, You give everyone Strength
 for their life, including Moses in
 the deliverance of Your people.
 Grateful You not only allow trials
in line with Your purpose but also
give promise and strength so that
we can persevere through the trial.
Apostle Paul exhorts in Phil 4:13
 we can do all things through Christ 
who Strengthens us. Grant us Lord
timely recall of Your power so that
we’ll persevere doing Yr Will. Amen
Lord, In any difficult circumstance,
 I shall not be dismayed, for You are
my God. You will Strengthen me,
You will help me, You will uphold
 me with Your righteous right hand.
I pray in agreement with King David
in Ps 28: The Lord is my Strength
 and shield; my heart trusts in Him.
And I pray in agreement with Moses
The LORD indeed is my Strength
 and I will praise Him for He will
 become my salvation. Amen.
Lord, you can remove sickness,
 reverse disease & bring healing.
We may look to physicians and
 medicine to heal us but You have
the final say. We praise You for
Your power & willingness to heal.
Lord, heal our heart of doubt
 or bitterness and heal our body
 where sickness has crept in.
 Remind us to care for our body
that You’ve given us to enjoy life.
 We praise U that You’re our Healer!
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
