NEEDING HEALING=NEEDING TO BE RESTORED

NEEDING HEALING=NEEDING TO BE RESTORED

 

You probably KNOW that=

Our bodies CONSTANTLY needs

RESTORATION=by sleep-nutritionally-

And by EXERCISE

 

But our SPIRIT also needs CARE=Unfortunately

Our spirit is INVISIBLE

And NOT all of us

Are AWARE of this fact

 

“O-Lord=God of hosts=RESTORE US”                                                                                                 Psalm 80:20

 

Emotional distress-a TROUBLING past-

A LOSS of spiritual consolation=and

Seemingly endless grief=leave us

DRAINED and DISTURBED

 

We need to be RESTORED=our spirit-

Needs TENDING too=with lots and lots

Of PATIENCE

 

“A person’s WISDOM

Yields PATIENCE

 

It is to ONE’S GLORY

To overlook an offense”                                                                                                                 Proverbs 19:11

 

“Or do you SHOW

Contempt for the riches

Of his KINDNESS-forbearance-

And PATIENCE

 

NOT realizing that GOD’S KINDNESS

Is intended

To LEAD YOU to repentance”                                                                                                      Romans 2;4

 

We TRY to RESTORE ourselves

By daily prayers-meditation-and

READING the BIBLE

 

As well as MASS-or

Church services

 

We LEAN on God

And those people who

RECEIVE us graciously

 

And REJUVENATE us and

HELP us to

RESTORE ourselves

 

“RESTORE our fortunes-LORD

Like streams in the Negev”                                                                                                       Psalm 126:4

 

“……..

RESTORE ME-and I will return

Because you are the

Lord MY GOD”                                                                                                                       Jeremiah 31:18

 

“Brothers and sisters=if SOMEONE

Is caught in sin

 

You who LIVE by the SPIRIT

Should RESTORE

That person GENTLY

 

But watch yourselves

Or you also-MAY BE TEMPTED”                                                                                                          Galatians 6:1

 

Dear Lord=help us=

Let us SLOW DOWN

Our fast-paced life

And RESTORE OURSELVES

From interior depletion

 

HELP US get CLOSER to you

And restore our SPIRIT

In you

 

Let us TURN to the LORD

The very ONE=who leads us

To RESTORATION

 

Dear Lord=restore us=

BOTH IN HEALTH and IN SPIRIT

MAKE US HEALED

 

In the name of JESUS and

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
