O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You restored my health. – (Psalm 30:2, NLT)
Lord my God, I prayed to You, and You healed me. – (Psalm 30:2, ERV)
I do not understand why some people are healed in an instant, while others continue to battle day in and day out with sickness and disease. What I do know is that God is able to heal, so my charge is to contend for those who are still fighting, as they wait for healing to come. I have witnessed both healing and heartache, and through it all, have seen the goodness of God. Today, as I learned of a dear one’s relapse in her battle against cancer, I will rise up with resolve to continue to contend on her behalf, just as she will fight with fervor. May His healing come quickly to those in the wait, and may each of us who know Him, be utilized to strengthen and encourage those who are fighting.
O Lord hear our cry, 
As we choose contend;
For those in the fight,
Your healing, please send.
Each word we offer,
To You up in prayer;
Is heard and received,
As Your hope is shared.
Come near, Lord Jesus,
With Your healing hands;
Restore what’s broken,
May Your peace advance.
Dear Heavenly Father, we call out and contend for Your touch for those who are fighting sickness and disease. Thank You that You are our Help and our Healer. Thank You that You give us strength and sustain us in the fight, and that You can do abundantly more than we could hope or imagine. Forgive us for our fears and doubts, as it is difficult to see beyond a diagnosis or statistics. Teach us to trust You more, as You are greater than all. Show us how to love, support and encourage all those around us who are fighting for restoration. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we cry to You for help, and trust You to bring healing. Amen.
