Jesus Christ, the Mighty Healer
Isaiah 53:
3 We despised him and rejected him - a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we didn't care.
(Living Bible)
The Prophet Isaiah lived about 600 years before the Lord Jesus Christ was born, but still Isaiah spoke about many incidents which came to pass in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to the earth so many years later.
In the verse above we find one of Isaiah's descriptions of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. He describes the Lord Jesus as
a man of sorrows, someone who understands our bitterest grief
a man that human beings despised and cared nothing about.
a man who understands what it is like to be rejected
If you have experienced any of these things:
being rejected by those close to you
deep sorrow that seems not to end
bitter grief from situations of injustice
being excluded and despised
and your heart seems unable to be healed;
The Lord Jesus Christ has experienced every terrible emotion that human beings pass through, at a deeper level than any human being does, and He is able to heal your heart.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, I understand that You have experienced
being rejected by those close to you
deep sorrow that seems not to end
bitter grief from situations of injustice
being excluded and despised
Today I release into Your mighty hands, all these emotions that have held my heart prisoner
and I ask that You heal my inner person and make me whole.
I reject all the poisons that have sought to lodge themselves in my inner person.
I reject all bitterness that is sabotaging my relationships with those around me.
I apply the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to all the wounds in my inner person and
I receive Your love, which is poured out in my heart by the Holy Spirit
and I declare that I rise up in increasing freedom from this day onward.
Amen.
