Sermon Text: John 9:1-41
That we will rejoice in and witness to your healing
God of mercy and compassion, we rejoice in You. We rejoice that You are able to restore both body and mind to health. We thank You for the many times when we have received your healing and energizing touch.
You have healed our illnesses and injuries. You have unified our fragmented minds. You have healed our deepest grief. You have lifted us from depression and despair to delight.
At times we are confused because we do not see your healing in every sickness and injury for which we pray. Enable us to trust You wholly even when we do not see or receive healing in the ways we expect. Enable us to trust your wisdom which exceeds and is unlike our own.
Do not allow us to become cynical about the witness of others, but enable us to rejoice with those who receive your healing and join them in praising You. Free us to testify about the healing and restoration we have received from You. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
