Memorize and Reflect
He said, If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you. (Exodus 15:26)Prayer Direction
Thank God for His power to heal relationships, hearts, bodies, and our souls. Give Him praise for the ways He has brought healing in your life. Pray for yourself and those you love to become partners with God in specific areas where you or others need healing.“Live It!” Challenge
Relational Healing: Identify one person in your life who you are experiencing brokenness and conflict with. Spend time in the next week praying for God’s help in healing this relationship and pray for courage and honesty as you prepare to connect with this person. Then, walk through the Matthew 18:15-17 process with a prayerful and humble heart. Be ready to confess where you have been wrong. Actively seek restoration for the glory of Jesus and for the health of this relationship.Small Group Discussion
