What I Really Need

Psalm 30: 2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.

David wrote this Psalm as a dedication of the temple. Here it says that David called for help. Instead of it saying that God helped David, it says that He healed David. There are times when we ask God for one thing, and He gives us instead what we really need.

I think that I have been calling for help when I really need healing. I am sick. Not just physically, like my coughing and sneezing, but I’m sick in my head. I’m not right upstairs. It’s a scary thing to admit. I have been crying out to God to save me from the adversary, but the truth is the adversary is myself. I’m the cause of all my grief. Today, I will not shy away from the truth. The truth is I need more of God and less of myself.

Heavenly Father, You know what needs to be done to help me, Lord. Please forgive me of my sins. Please allow me to feel Your grace and love. Jesus, may Your presence be strong in my heart. Heal me, O Lord. I am so sick. I don’t want to be sick anymore. Please cast out all darkness in my heart and mind. I love You, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
