When I do my
prayers, prayer for healing forms part of my daily set. These days we all need
some form of healing. In the recent events that happened to our country--the
monsoon, the typhoons, the death of an efficient and effective government
official, the rise in prices of basic commodities among others--some may feel
that it's the end of the world, the end of their lives. So what else is there
to live for? Well, this may be an age-old adage, but the only way is to turn
our attention to the one and only author of life: Jesus Christ.
Any form of healing that we may
need--physical, mental, spiritual, psychological--let God in and welcome him as
he does the one thing he's always been doing since he created us--to heal us of
our heartaches, our pains, our sufferings. Whatever it is that we've been
through, know that he himself has undergone them too. He became man for us,
grew up just like an ordinary human being. To this day, he remains with us in
several churches all over the world. Every hurt that we feel, he feels it too.
Every suffering we go through, he suffers alongside us to. Despite being the
author of life, he did not spare himself of the pain and suffering that we as
human beings go through in this world. Shall we not go to this man and ask for
his help and learn from him what it truly means to suffer for the sake of
loving others?
One song expresses
this more than any other. Let's all pray that God may heal our land.
HEAL OUR LAND
If my people will humble themselves
Humble themselves and pray
If they seek my face and humble themselves
And turn from their wicked ways
[REFRAIN 1]
I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins
I will hear from heaven and heal their land
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/jamie-rivera-heal-our-land-lyrics.html ]
[CHORUS]
Lord, heal our land
Father, heal our land
Hear our cry and turn our nation back to You
Lord, heal our land
Hear us oh, Lord, and heal our land
Forgive our sin and heal our broken land
Lord, we vow our knee, we humble ourselves
Humble ourselves and pray
Lord, we seek your face and humble ourselves
And turn from my wicked ways
[REFRAIN 2]
Father in Your mercy, forgive our sins
Father in Your mercy, come heal our land
[Repeat CHORUS twice]
[CODA]
(Lord, heal our land

I will hear from heaven and heal their land
