I need your blessing for protection and healing to counter this brokenness.<\/p>\n<p>I ask for the blessing of health because you have promised it. You said, \u201cIf you listen carefully to me and do what is right in my eyes, if you pay attention to my commands and keep all my decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you\u201d You said, \u201cI The LORD will keep you free from every disease.\u201d You promise, \u201cYou will not fear the pestilence that stalks the night nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side. But it will not come near you\u201d You said, &#8220;On that day you will realize that I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.&#8221; And you even dare to declare, \u201cIf the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So I do not presume to beg for health; I only respond to your initiatives.
