– Scripture:

                  Soul Health

The Pastor, to my good friend Gaius: How truly I love you! We’re the best of friends, and I pray for good fortune in everything you do and for your good health—that your everyday affairs prosper, as well as your soul! I was happiest when some friends arrived and told me you persist in following the way of Truth. Nothing could make me happier than getting reports that my children continue diligently in the way of Truth!

                                 3 John 1–4 MSG

 – Reflection:

If you’re living worried, bitter, guilty, and angry, those negative emotions and negative energy poison your soul and weaken your immune system’s ability to fight sickness. You lie in bed worrying about your finances all night, can’t sleep, then wonder why you have no energy, your blood pressure is high, and you have constant headaches. It might be related to bitterness over what someone did years ago. You can’t take in toxins and not be poisoned. If you get your soul healthy, many physical ailments will disappear. It’s all interconnected.

Where do we go from here?

Is your soul healthy? Ask God to show you anything causing you negative emotions, then release it to Him. When you empty the unforgiveness, the worry, the discouragement, God will cause your soul to prosper and fill you with joy and healing.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for wanting both my soul and health to prosper in all things. I choose to empty any negative emotions and attitudes so You can fill me with peace and joy. I believe You will help me keep my soul and body whole and healthy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
