I was reading this passage this morning and what I love about it is that the words are past tense.
His wounds became your healing.
It's already been done for us. We have been healed. They have been healed.
Praying today that each of us would believe that and receive that promise.
And that we would walk in that freedom.
January 31, 2019. Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Peter 2:21-24. This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step... He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.
Father God, we come before you today overwhelmed, both with desperation and with hope. We thank you for all we have, knowing that everything comes from You. Lord, we thank you that you have invited all of us to step into an amazing life with you! The kind of life that you demonstrated to us. You carried our sins and you carried (our loved one's) sins in Your body on the cross. You did this so that we could be set free to live for righteousness! You did this so that through Your sacrifice (our loved one) could be completely healed. I pray this day that (our loved one) would chose LIFE and that (our loved one’s) healing to begin today. In Jesus Name....Amen!
