We have heard your request and we carry it with you to the throne of grace, where the Great Physician ever sits to hear the cries of His people. You speak of a hoarse voice and phlegm that troubled you even as you spoke with your provider, and of a desire for the Lord to bless and protect your finances and to cover you with His mighty protecting blood. The Lord regards both the body and the estate of His children, and not a whisper, though it be hoarse and broken, escapes His ear.
We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they are too painful to let us slumber in silence, and they soon urge us to seek a physician for our healing. How much more should we seek Christ, whose least things are full of healing virtue. The Scripture tells us the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and that the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but even the leaves, the little touches of His garment, the faintest breath of His Spirit, are full of healing. When Jesus healed the sick of the palsy He said, Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you, and pardon and healing were one. So we look to Him not only for the cleansing of the soul by His precious blood, but for the tender care of the body which He has made.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, You whose voice is powerful and full of majesty, yet who hears the still small voice of Your child when strength is gone, look upon this Your servant in mercy. Touch the throat and voice, clear away what hinders breathing and speaking, and restore strength and clearness as it pleases You. Lay Your healing hand upon the body and make it well for Your service. We ask also that You would keep and provide for all that concerns daily bread. You know the cares that gather about finances, and You have promised to supply all need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Guard what You have entrusted, keep it from waste and loss, and give wisdom to steward it faithfully. Above all, cover this life and household under the mighty protecting blood of the Lamb, that being justified by His atoning sacrifice, there may be peace with You and safety in every trial. Let pardon and healing be joined together by Your grace, and let the heart rest in the assurance that whether You restore at once or sustain through waiting, You do all things well.
Take heed to hear His voice still, not only in the hour of trouble but in the quiet teaching of His Word, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Rest in His care today, trust the Great Physician, and praise Him for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and give you to know more fully the healing leaves of Christ. Amen.
