Healing the Spirit

So many times I've prayed for God to heal my loved ones from their physical afflictions. It hurts to see them struggle day after day.

I read an Upper Room devotion today and it really hit home. Perhaps I'm praying for the wrong thing. When God heals physical problems, we are always so thankful. Miracles occur every day. Prayers matter. But what about healing the spirit? Doesn't healing the spirit come first? I believe it does.

So today, I will change my focus to healing the spirits of my loved ones, so that physical healing may come after.

Lord, please bless the person reading this, and may their spirits be healed. Amen.
