This Sunday at Church: Pray for Missionaries with health issues

Not just health issues, but missionaries tend to face mental and emotional stressors, as well as the obvious spiritual attacks. Their health also is often in need.

Lord, help those in unfamiliar towns, cities, and nations to be healthy. Stretch out Your healing hand over those who are suffering illness and injury, empowering them to remain faithful. If necessary, keep them safe until they heal or come home to family and friends. Empower your servants to reach the lost, in Your name.

Daniel

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for Missionaries with health issues.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for Missionaries with health issues

VerseD: 3 John 11

Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.

3 John 11, ESV‬

When we do our own thing rather than follow our sovereign God’s will, it leads to pain and anxiety. When we follow His will, it brings peace, freedom, and hope in the imminent return of Christ.

VerseD: Romans 8:6

For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 8:6, ESV‬

When we are wrapped up in ourselves or the troubles of this world, we are easily made anxious. When we are focused on our sovereign God and His goodness and awesomeness, we can have peace knowing He has overcome the world and death.

VerseD: Ephesians 1:7

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

Ephesians 1:7, ESV‬

We can have peace knowing that God is in complete control, and He has the power to remove our sins by the grace and blood of Jesus when we trust in Him.

Versed: Isaiah 43:12-13

“I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God. Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”

Isaiah 43:12-13, ESV

The only thing we have to declare is that there is only the one, true God, who alone offers salvation through His Son. He draws us to Himself by the Holy Spirit, and His calling is forever!

Versed: Isaiah 43:11

I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.

Isaiah 43:11, ESV

There is only one way to eternal life with our Creator, the only God, and that is through God the Son and by the filling of the Holy Spirit. Believe in the One who alone calls us and is worthy of worship, and let us proclaim Him to the world.

Versed: Isaiah 43:10

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”

Isaiah 43:10, ESV

There is only one, true God, and He has redeemed and restored us to right relationship with Him through the Son, and He calls us to declare this truth to the world by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Versed: Isaiah 43:8-9

Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and let them hear and say, It is true.

Isaiah 43:8-9, ESV

Our God as restored us and redeemed us. Though we have been spiritually blind and deaf, He calls to us through the gospel that we might hear Him and the truth of the cross. We then share this truth with the world.

Versed: Isaiah 43:6-7

“I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth — everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

Isaiah 43:6-7, NIV

God has restored us to Himself through the Son who died on the cross. Now, by His Holy Spirit and the spreading of the Gospel, He calls us to Himself for eternal life. Believe in the One who has even restored the nation of Israel after 1900 years!

VerseD: Isaiah 43:1

But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.

‭Isaiah 43:1, ESV‬

God has restored us to relationship with Himself, those of us who believe in Jesus as Savior and God are called His the redeemed and Hos friends. We may not be born descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but we are made His chosen people in Christ.
