And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
Jesus asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Father, I am coming to you in the name of Jesus asking You to restore me to health and heal my wounds. According to Psalm 103 and Isaiah 53 You were wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, chastisement for my peace was upon You, and the stripes that wounded you, I am healed and made whole. You healed all my sicknesses ands diseases, redeemed my life from corruption, covered me with loving kindness and mercy and You satisfied my mouth (my necessity and desire of my personal age and situation) so my youth is renewed like and eagle's (strong, overcoming, soaring).
You have made me alive with Christ (partaker of His salvation) He who gives us hope will not fail me - I will be resurrected! He is the perfecter of my faith. That good work He began in me, He is faithful to complete!
With joy I will drink from the well of salvation. In His Presence is fullness of JOY. The difficulties of life cause me to keep on trusting in and depending on You instead of me - I am drawn to You who raises the dead!
That which I have brought and will bring throughout the day I trust and commit to You. You will bring it forth until it shines forth as the sun. It is in Your Hands, Lord. I trust in You. You made me to be blessed and a blessing forever.
My light shall break forth like the morning sun and my healing(my restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily. Isaiah 58:8
May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being]unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
Can't compare sufferings with the glory that will be revealed in us! Christ in us, the hope of glory! The greatest gift we can receive is Christ being seen in us - His glory! JOY! JOY! JOY!
