Jesus is more than able

041708
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Here it is plainly described that Jesus is a teacher, preacher, & healer. It is worthy to note that Jesus healed every disease and sickness. He didn’t just heal certain people, He healed every single one. There is nothing that Jesus cannot do if He is willing.

I most often have prayer requests from friends about healing. It is when I pray for healing that I struggle the most with my faith. Am I praying for healing against God’s will? What if God wants some one to be sick? Am I acting like God by trying to create miracle healing for this request? I guess what it really comes down to is, nothing is impossible for God. Although I may ask, sometimes the answer is no. God has His reasons, His ways, and they are much higher than my ways. The confidence I have in praying is that God does hear every prayer and He is capable of fulfilling every good request. However, He does have a will and above all else, I must desire His will to be done.

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for limiting Your ability and authority. You are almighty. You are sovereign. Please help me to pray according to Your will especially for healing. Lord, I thank You for being the only one who can restore, heal, and renew. I love You, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
