A conversation about spiritual health would be lacking if we did not look to the Great Physician as the author of what our spiritual selves need. I don’t know many people who enjoy going to the doctor. However, when we are really sick, in need of wise counsel from someone who has knowledge and experience to help us, we visit the doctor.
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (Matt. 9:12, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:31). And we are all sick!
We are broken individuals in need of a doctor.
But the doctor is not just for when we are sick. He gives us preventative medicine and advice in his Word that guides us in the right path.
So, whether you are feeling broken or healthy today, I recommend you take this prescription from the Great Physician.

As I go about my day, I am aware of immediate needs for divine intervention, answers, comfort, inspiration, or divine presence. I pray on my own but often feel the need for an army of prayer warriors. My IRSM Bible study group is just the prayer warriors I need. We have deep prayer with each other during the week as we meet for study. However, during the workday we also stay connected in prayer. It’s different but effective nonetheless.
When one of us feels the need for prayers from the other ones we will text each other. Since we also need to continue on with our work we are unable to communicate the whole thought behind our prayer request. We have solved this problem by using code words to communicate prayer need.
My word is “arrow,” another sister’s is “bump” and another sister’s is “QC”. When the text comes that says one of those words we each know to send a quick prayer up for that sister. God knows the exact need and so we can leave it in His hands but we are assured we are not alone as our Iron Rose Sister is praying for us.
We need each other day-by-day, moment-by-moment. We have discovered how to stay connected in prayer throughout our workdays and it is a comfort.
