ICU

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Most people know what the acronym ICU stands for of course ‘Intensive Care Unit’ where a patient goes after Emergency treatment to help them hopefully get better and eventually healed. 

Some spiritual journeys will take an ICU of sorts say overcoming addictions such as alcohol or pornography. A childhood trauma healing will take some intensive care. A woman who had an abortion will need intervention. Abandonment as a child. Sexual molestation will need loving care and healing. Being set free from an alternate lifestyle also is a process that takes the ICU then some rehab. 

God sends his workers into various areas of the harvest field to render aid and care for hurting people. Deception causes many to fall into traps but God and The Holy Spirit bring freedom. Once these individuals are healed they too can continue the process of comforting others. God indeed can use pain to help grow you stronger. Hang on keep running the race towards the cross. 

PRAYER: Jesus you are good and your mercies endure forever. I pray for those who are in Spiritual Intensive care units and for the people helping them get victory from their struggles. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
