Start praying: Be bold and pray with power.
Lord God, Thank You for the gift of healing that comes from You. Help us to submit our hearts to You and trust You fully. Show us how to follow Your lead each day. As we wait for Your healing, give us faith to expect You to show up. Remind us that Jesus came at Christmas to bring hope, peace and wholeness. We ask You to heal us – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – according to Your will. Strengthen us as we walk with You. We love You and give You praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Leader: Make time to pray for and with each other. Break into groups of three, take time for healing prayer or pray with individuals requesting prayer. This is important!
Start doing:
Meditate on the statement: “God is God; I am not”.
What would it be like if we knew our limits but also knew God’s limitless power. Next meditate on this statement: “I can’t do this alone…but God can”.
Genesis 41:16 AMP
Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me [to interpret the dream]; God [not I] will give Pharaoh a favorable answer [through me].”
