Sometimes God answers prayers in very concrete, tangible and timely ways. It seems to me, that when we are the most helpless, and the most desperate, and the least in control, He is already at work. He shows up when we need Him the most. He hears, He sees, He heals, and I am overwhelmed with His goodness. Each time He shows up in a big and obvious way, my faith is strengthened for the journey. Each act of divine intervention is just another brick in the firm foundation He is building out of my mustard seed of belief. My faith is nowhere near unshakable, but I've placed my weak and very shaky faith in a very unshakable God. I am reminded of a Kari Jobe song that talks about this very thing: belief. "I believe You're my healer. I believe You are all I need. I believe You're my portion. I believe You're more than enough for me." Those lyrics have never been truer or dearer to me than at this very moment. And for it to really be truth, then it has to be true for all of us. Me. You. Every living person on this planet.
I am surrounded here. I stand in a township and my heart cries out with the injustice of it all. Not everything inside those walls is a mess, but most of it is. I am surrounded by illness, disease, despair, darkness, brokenness, sickness, sin, abuse and heartache. But then I am reminded that in no way does Africa hold the corner market on physical illness, spiritual darkness or emotional pain. Look no further than your own family. Your neighborhood. Your church. Your own heart. We are all unbelievably broken, and we all need a healer.
I have come to believe with all my heart that there is a solution.
God, You are our healer. I believe that You are more than enough for the people of this world. I believe that You are the portion for those that have a portion of nothing. I believe that You walk your people through literal and figurative fire and that You heal all of their disease including the ones that we don't even know are making us sick. You hold our every moment and I believe that you are all we need. I trust in You. I trust in You.
Nothing is impossible. Nothing.
I believe You're my healer
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
