Your care concerning this implant and the crown, its color and tint, and the search for a faithful and skillful dentist has been laid before the Lord, and we bring it before Him with you.
We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they are painful and press upon the daily life, and it is right to seek a physician for healing. Yet the very anxiety which arises through your being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty, and so we would have you cast this burden upon the Lord who cares for you. In the shadow of His wings you may make your refuge until these calamities be overpast, for He is merciful and His mercy is your plea.
Remember that our Lord Jesus is the great Physician of soul and body. The leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing virtue. The Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings, and healing and pardon are placed in happy conjunction in Him. If you have trusted Him for the healing of your soul, you may trust Him also for the concerns of the body. Do not say, I will trust Him when I feel more settled or when I see a better provision. Trust Him now, as you are, and as you go you shall find His help. They that trust in Him shall not be ashamed nor confounded, and He will not make fools of those who act upon His authority.
Therefore only trust Him, only trust Him, only trust Him now. Bring to Him the work of the dentist's hands, that it may be done correctly and well, the matching of the crown, and the completion of what remains. Ask Him for guidance to a competent and honest practitioner, and for wisdom to discern the right path when many reports discourage you. He who guides His people with counsel can direct you to the right hands and can make provision where insurance and cost bring perplexity. He can give you peace while you wait and prudence in your choices, for He infuses right principles and leads by His own wise hand.
Let us pray with you. O merciful God, be merciful unto this Your servant. You see the need of the body and the weariness caused by these dental troubles. Grant skill and integrity to those who undertake this implant and crown, that it may be formed and fitted aright and be lasting. Guide to a trustworthy dentist for the work that remains, and overrule the matters of insurance and provision according to Your good will. Quiet the anxious spirit and give rest under the shadow of Your wings. Above all, give the assurance of sins forgiven and a heart kept by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Healer. Hear this prayer for Jesus sake. Amen.
