Some of my team got the opportunity to join a group from Iris that visits the local hospital to pray for the patients. I was so glad that I went. This was the first time in a while that I have been able to truly focus for a long period of time on prayer. I typically struggle with wandering thoughts and often am not sure what to pray for specifically. That was not a problem at all at the hospital.
We went around to the different rooms, praying first for the children, then the men, and finally the women. In each place we asked if everyone was okay with us praying for them. I was surprised that no one ever said no. We got a lot of blank stares, but we laid hands on people and prayed for them anyways.
If I ever ran out of words to pray I found that songs about healing would pop into my head. The one that stood out the most was Michael W. Smith’s song, “Healing Rain.” I know many people are not fans of his, but he does have some great songs, especially if you listen to the lyrics. This song is one of my favorites. If you haven’t seen the music video, I would highly recommend you check it out. While at the hospital I kept envisioning healing rain falling down right there just like in the video.
I truly do believe that God wants to rain down healing on the people of Mozambique. So please join me in prayer that the people here will let go of the ties they have to witch craft, immorality and unbelief that would prevent them from experiencing this healing rain!
