Health
Prayers for physical healing, mental wellness, and overall health for yourself or loved ones.
"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."— 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)
When we fall into worldly temptation, the quickest avenue for sin is through our bodies, which rings the loudest alarm bells to signal when something is wrong. We may be quick to go to a Doctor, change our diets, exercise more, but once again temptation arises and we revert back to our undisciplined, sluggish, worn-out selves.
This isn't stated to make you feel like a failure. As the Bible says, all is vanity — Ecclesiastes 1:2-11, except for the works unto the Lord — Ephesians 6:7.
So yes, although the purpose of this site is to pray for those who are ill in this moment of time, who can barely stand, eat, drink, or sleep, I invite you to also ask yourself this question: Have I intentionally prepared my body for the Holy Spirit to inhabit?
If you are earnest in your seeking, by the grace of God you will receive an answer. If you are already in good health, then I challenge you to examine and measure the motives behind your healthy habits. Are you sanctifying your body to glorify the Lord, or to impress others? The latter builds the body, but the former builds both spirit and body.
It really all goes back to this:
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
And if you are reading this thinking to yourself, "I'm already in a bad way myself, I'm the one who needs prayers," all I can do is point you to this Bible verse and ask you to pray to Christ Jesus for guidance and understanding:
"If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
Luke 12:28 (KJV)
