Open Your Heart
He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).—Mark 7:34 NIV
When Jesus healed the deaf man, he yelled out, “Be opened!” When you are open to trusting God, you are receptive to His guidance, help and healing. God is faithful. If you find yourself shutting down and facing a crisis of faith, close your eyes and pray, “Be opened!”
Dear Lord, I come to You open and ready for Your healing in my life.
