Praying for those who are sick within our Church
9 08 2012
On Wednesday evenings we dedicate a portion of our mid-week service to pray together in groups. We pass out a prayer sheet of requests that are broken down into different categories to help us pray specifically. For me personally, the section entitled “health needs” is always one of the hardest sections for me to pray through. It is not because I don’t care for the people that are listed there, but difficult because I don’t always know how to pray.
This last Wednesday I shared the following acrostic to help us know how to pray for those who are sick within our congregation.
Remember it this way, “let’s pray for their HEALTH.”
H – Have wisdom in the decisions surrounding their sickness
E – Energy
A – Attitude that pleases God in the midst of their suffering
L – Let others help them in their weakness
T – Take advantage of their new gospel platforms.
H – Healing
God is able to answer these requests and many more. May we honor Him through specific, thoughtful seasons of prayer
