Do Not Be Alarmed, For His Life is in Him

Merciful God, there was a time while on his missionary trip to Macedonia that you empowered Paul to work a miraculous healing and resurrection. Luke wrote in Acts that, “When we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, ‘Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.’ And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and had eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.” Acts 20:7–12 (ESV). Lord, that they were not a little comforted is a vast understatement. That is the type of outcome we hope for when praying for healing for our loved ones- miraculous, causing us to be not a little comforted. Lord, heal those of us who are sick and ailing. We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
