Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison audio. Even faithful believers can find themselves suddenly weighed down by spiritual heaviness or relational conflict, unable to explain what changed. Book of Numbers 5:2-31 reveals that defilement and jealousy spread quickly and quietly, sometimes through words, thoughts, or hidden sin. Proper spiritual health requires honest self-examination, guarding your heart, and seeking God’s restoration so that unresolved jealousy or sin does not poison your life or community.

Introduction: How Defilement Happens
Tonight, we are focusing on how things can defile us, as explained in the Book of Haggai. Many believers have experienced periods when everything with God seems to be going well. You feel strong in your faith, you’re praying and praising, reading the Word, and life feels good.
Suddenly, something shifts. You realize something has happened, but you can’t explain what changed. Most Christians face moments like this, where they are faithful, doing all the right things—tithing, worshipping, filled with excitement about God—and then unexpectedly, something is off. Tonight’s message will explore what causes these changes and how defilement happens in our spiritual lives.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Haggai 2:10-13
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth {month,} in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘ Ask now the priests {for} a ruling:
12 ‘If a man carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches bread with this fold, or cooked
food, wine, oil, or any {other} food, will it become holy?’ ” And the priests answered, “No.”
13 Then Haggai said, ” If one who is unclean from a corpse touches any of these, will {the latter}
become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.”
The Principle of Holiness and Defilement
Haggai chapter two begins with the word of the Lord coming to the prophet Haggai during the reign of King Darius. God, referred to as the Lord Sabaoth—the Lord of hosts, the leader of the armies of heaven—asks the priests for a ruling. The message is practical for us, because in the New Testament, all believers are considered priests.
The Lord presents a question: If someone carrying holy meat touches other food, does that food become holy? The answer is no. Being touched by something holy does not automatically make something else holy. In spiritual terms, becoming holy is about receptivity and relationship, not just contact.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Then the Lord asks if someone who is unclean—like from touching a corpse—touches something, does that thing become unclean? The answer is yes. It is much easier to become defiled than to become holy. A brief contact with sin or something unclean can impact us profoundly. The main principle tonight is that spending even a little time with sin or those in sin can result in spiritual defilement.
Numbers 5:2-3
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
Numbers 5:20-26
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
Ephesians 2:19 reminds us that as believers, we are part of the body of Christ. When we sin or allow ourselves to be defiled, we are not just harming ourselves—we are affecting Christ directly. Unclean actions, whether in thoughts or deeds, not only damage us; they touch the very place where God chooses to dwell.
Ephesians 2:19-22
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
In the New Testament, God does not reside in buildings made of stone. He dwells within his people. Each believer is a habitation for God’s Spirit. Keeping ourselves pure is essential because we are God’s dwelling place, and any defilement of ourselves is also a defilement of Him.
As believers, we are no longer strangers or outsiders. We are fellow citizens with the saints and part of God’s family. The church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. We are being formed together into a holy temple—a dwelling place for God’s Spirit. The Old Testament temple was a picture of what we now are in Christ.
It is essential to keep this spiritual body—both corporately and individually—undefiled. If we stay holy, we help the whole body stay holy. Each of us plays a role in maintaining the purity of the group. Assisting others to stay undefiled is also helping ourselves.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Defilement Spreads Easily
Spending even a little time with something defiled, like leprosy in the Old Covenant, can contaminate the entire group. If one person has leprosy and is not separated, they can defile those close to them, and the whole camp becomes affected. We must be careful to maintain spiritual purity for our own sake and the body of Christ as a whole.
The Power of Words to Spiritually Contaminate
Last week, we discussed how leprosy was linked to contamination. Joyce King shared that leprosy could be spread by spittle—tiny droplets released while talking or sneezing. This illustrates how easily people can contaminate one another, even through ordinary conversation.
Words play a decisive role in this process. When we disagree, hurt, or anger each other, we often “spit” out negative words and emotions, affecting those around us. If we are not careful, our words can stop others from worshipping, praying, and reading. Many times, we are doing well spiritually, until someone says something hurtful, and our spirit is affected.
The message here is not about physically removing people from the church. It is about awareness and understanding of spiritual contamination. Leprosy, with its persistent discharge and gradual destruction, serves as a vivid picture of sin and its effect on life. Sin slowly eats away at a person and brings ugliness and death if not addressed. It must be dealt with and put outside our spiritual lives, or it will spread and harm the entire community.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Sin Eats Away Slowly: The Need for Deeper Ministry
Leprosy attacks the skin and spreads relentlessly. It can destroy parts of your face, lips, nose, and eyelids. The disease oozes and discharges as it eats away at the body. This is a picture of what sin can do in our lives. Sin also works slowly, causing harm and bringing death. But Christ offers a gift of everlasting life, which is the counterbalance to the destruction of sin.
When someone is suffering in this way, you must take precautions to avoid contamination. People who are hurting will come to you, so you have to handle their pain with care. Listen for signs that someone is distraught. Know that they need urgent spiritual help—through prayer, the Holy Spirit, and love.
Simple routines like regular devotion or prayer may not be enough to heal such deep wounds. Sometimes, more than a quick washing is needed. Normal ministry, such as prayer, going to the altar, or reading the Word, usually helps with everyday problems. But deeper issues require more intensive spiritual intervention.
Spiritual Leprosy and Gossip
If I spread a rumor about Don, such as suspecting him of adultery, it could plant doubt and gossip in others. Even if someone reads the Bible afterward, the rumor may still linger in their minds. The next time they see Don with someone, the unhealthy thought grows. They might share it with others, and soon the whole group is affected. This is how spiritual “leprosy” spreads—one harmful word can contaminate many.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Normal prayers and devotions may not heal this kind of contamination. Gossip and negative talk can eat away at people and hinder their growth. Sometimes, only God’s intervention and deliverance can truly heal. Many people leave churches because they are spiritually “infected.” The issue spreads to all kinds of churches and assemblies. Often, the cause is unaddressed rumors, negative conversations, or lingering wounds, rather than genuine offenses.
As we close this lesson, it’s clear that how we deal with these issues is important. Solutions for spiritual wounds—like those described in the test of adultery—require honesty, careful response, and ultimately trusting God for healing and restoration.
Dealing with Leprosy and Rejection
No one wants leprosy, and it is clear that dealing with it is difficult. When public figures face problems, there is often gossip and judgment. People sometimes react by seeing them as “unclean” and casting them out instead of helping. This kind of rejection is not the right approach; everyone needs support and healing.
The Bible shows that when Moses gave instructions, the people followed God’s word. But there are times when even leaders question authority, and consequences follow. Leprosy is contagious and shows how quickly problems can spread in a group. God speaks to us and guides us, but we must choose to obey and respond with compassion rather than condemnation.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Numbers 5:5-7
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
Sin Against Others is Sin Against God
When a man or woman commits any sin, no one is excluded. God sees every sin we do. We would act differently if we believed God was watching and listening all the time. The Bible makes it clear: when anyone sins, they are guilty of trespassing against the Lord, not just against another person.
If you do something wrong to someone, you are sinning against God. We are all part of the body of Christ, so every action towards another person is an action towards Christ Himself. Jesus taught that what we do to others, even the least among us, we do to Him.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Confession is essential, but it is not the only step. After confessing, we must also make restitution. In the Old Testament, those who sinned were required to pay back what was owed and add an extra 20 percent. God holds each of us accountable for all our words and actions. We should remember that true repentance and restitution are needed for every wrong.
A Personal Story: Integrity and Restitution
Chuck Clayton recently went shopping for glasses and found he ended up with an extra pair without paying for it. He noticed the mistake on his receipt and was anxious about making it right. He felt that keeping the glasses without paying would not just be wrong toward Kmart, but would be a sin against God. Many people might have seen the incident as a blessing, but Chuck understood it was essential to make restitution.
This story highlights a deeper principle. When we do something wrong, even by accident, we are accountable not just to people but to God. If we took every situation that seriously, our actions would reflect a proper understanding of what it means to be part of the body of Christ. Whenever we hurt others, we must remember that we are also sinning against the Lord. Recognizing this would change how we handle our actions and relationships.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
1 Corinthians 11:30
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Discerning the Body of Christ
Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians that many believers are weak, sick, and even dying because they have not properly understood the body of Christ. When we do something wrong to another person, we are also doing it against the Lord. If we begin to treat people with the honor, respect, and love they deserve, blessings will follow.
God’s law says that if we wrong someone, we owe restitution plus 20 percent. Confession and saying sorry are not enough on their own. There must be real restitution, and the cost is greater than the hurt or sin. If we truly believed every sin against another person was a sin against God and that we would be held accountable, many of us would act more carefully. Troubles often come from how we treat others, which in turn affects our relationship with God. Correctly discerning the body of Christ means understanding that every action toward another matters to God.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
The Cost of Hurting Others
If hurting someone had a financial cost, we would act differently. People would be gentler and more careful with their words if every offense required payment. Some individuals say harsh things and claim they are just being honest. But these words can wound others.
If each hurtful remark cost a thousand dollars, many people would be less quick to “be honest.” The thought alone is a reminder that it is wrong to harm others, even with words. Changing our approach would prevent a lot of pain and encourage kindness in our relationships.
Numbers 5:11-17
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
The Law of Jealousy
God spoke to Moses about handling adultery in the community. If a man’s wife committed adultery, the situation might remain hidden with no witnesses. Sometimes, the husband could be seized by a spirit of jealousy, whether his wife was guilty or not. The test of adultery involved bringing the case before God and the priest.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
This passage shows how serious relationships and jealousy were treated. The concern was both for those guilty and those wrongly accused. The process was meant to address unresolved suspicions and prevent harm from rumors or jealousy.
Numbers 5:5-7
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
Jealousy, Suspicion, and Marriage Testing
If a man suspected his wife of adultery, he was to bring her to the priest, along with an offering of barley meal. This was called the offering of jealousy, meant to remind everyone of iniquity. The priest would set the woman before the Lord and take holy water in a clay vessel, mixed with dust from the tabernacle floor.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
The woman would stand with her head uncovered, holding the offering. The priest would hold the bitter water that could bring a curse. He would make her swear an oath. If she were innocent and had not been with another man, she would be cleared from the curse by drinking the water. The ritual was meant to reveal the truth and remove suspicion.
Numbers 5:18-19
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
Jealousy’s Ritual Outcome
If the woman were guilty of adultery, the priest would make her swear an oath that included a curse. He would declare that the Lord would make her a curse among the people. As part of the ritual, her thigh would rot and her belly would swell if she were guilty.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
The priest would write down these curses and then erase them with bitter water. The woman would then drink this water. If she were truly defiled, the curse would affect her physically. The ceremony was intended to reveal hidden sin and bring justice.
Numbers 5:27-31
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
The priest would take the offering from the woman’s hands and present it before God. He would burn part of the offering on the altar, then have the woman drink the bitter water. If she were guilty and had betrayed her husband, the water would make her sick. Her belly would swell, and her thigh would rot, causing her to be a curse among the people. If she were not guilty, nothing bad would happen, and she would be free to have children.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
This law was designed to handle jealousy and suspicion in marriage. It made sure that hidden wrongdoing was judged, but it also protected innocent people from false accusations. The passage reminds us that jealousy is a powerful emotion. Everyone can feel it, and it can be hard to deal with, but God’s principles apply to all, regardless of gender or background.
Principles Behind the Ritual: Justice and Mercy
The passage makes clear that this ritual was not a punishment for adultery but a test to reveal the truth. Jealousy is described as a spirit, which may be genuine or false. This spirit can cause torment and constant suspicion, sometimes sent by evil to disrupt, but sometimes allowed by God to alert someone that something is wrong in the relationship.
The accused person would be brought to the priest along with an offering. This demonstrated how serious the situation was and committed it to God. The priest would take holy water, mix in dust from the tabernacle, and have the person go before the Lord. The process included special rituals with the woman’s hair uncovered, reciting a curse, and putting ink dissolved in water for her to drink. If she were guilty, it would show in physical sickness and barrenness; if innocent, she would remain healthy and able to have children.
Jealousy and Spiritual Depth in Ministry
This passage contains important principles about dealing with jealousy, even within the church. Sometimes, the spirit of jealousy can trouble someone unsure about their spouse’s faithfulness. People often seek advice on how to handle this deep concern. It is essential to know how to address these questions biblically.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
If you experience jealousy, you should seek guidance from a spiritual leader or priest. In the New Testament, every believer is considered part of a priesthood. However, not everyone is willing to go deeply into God’s presence. Many work in outward service but don’t spend enough time seeking God, accepting His Word, and allowing Him to bring healing and clarity.
Actual spiritual intervention requires more than routine actions. It means dealing with personal struggles, spending time in prayer, reading the Word, taking communion, and seeking God’s guidance. This process brings light and understanding, but not everyone is willing to go that deep or spend time with the Lord in prayer and praise.
Finding the Right Spiritual Support
It’s important to bring your concerns to the right person, not just any priest. If you talk to someone who does not respect your privacy, your problem can quickly become public and cause even more pain, especially if your spouse is innocent. You need to find someone who will hold your problem before God and not talk about it with others.
In Scripture, “holy water” represents the Word of God and the Spirit of God. Only God’s Word has the power to cleanse and deal with things that try to harm us spiritually. You need support from someone with real spiritual depth—someone who can bring your issue to the Lord, use the Word, and pray in faith.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
When hard things happen, people often become ashamed, and shame breaks down trust and relationships. The real principle is to give your struggles, shame, and desire for justice to God. “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” Only the Lord truly judges a situation. The priest does not make the final decision, nor do other people. God alone can heal and restore broken marriages and hurting hearts.
Only God Can Truly Judge
The only one who can truly resolve these deep issues is the Lord. No person, no matter how spiritual, can fix everything. We should bring our problems to those who will keep them before God and pray sincerely. It is important to remember that vengeance belongs to God alone. The same God who brought relationships together can also restore and heal them. Trust in Him is the answer.
God is the True Judge of Marriage
Hebrews 13:4
13 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Hebrews 13:4 teaches that marriage is honorable, and God is the true judge of adultery. People may want to judge others, but only God has the final authority. When ministering to those struggling with jealousy or suspicion, remember how much they are hurting. They may be restless and tormented, unsure if their spouse has been faithful.
Those who suffer from jealousy need real spiritual help. It is not enough to talk or act out of emotion. The problem must be brought into the holy place—God’s presence—where true healing can begin. Adultery removes God’s glory and brings a curse. God sees every sin, and real restitution always costs more than people expect. Sometimes, you must “eat your own words” and deal with the pain they cause.
Healing comes through prayer, studying the Bible, spending time with Jesus, and keeping joy and praise alive. We must fight these battles spiritually and in faith, knowing that only God can truly deliver someone or set them free. In the end, it is always the Lord who brings justice or mercy.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Miracles, Restoration, and God’s Mercy
In years of ministry, I have seen God perform miracles, even in cases where jealousy and adultery were openly known. Sometimes, God grants mercy, and situations are healed without further harm. Other times, there are serious consequences—people become spiritually unproductive and unable to walk with God as before. Sin eats away at a person’s life, making them unable to serve or worship.
Shame makes these problems worse, but healing can come if shame is removed and things are handled correctly. Jealousy can be from the devil, but sometimes God allows it to bring hidden issues to light so healing can begin. God loves people and wants to restore them, not let sin destroy them.
When dealing with these situations, remember the battle is spiritual. Do not spread the issue to others or gossip about it. Take the matter to God, because only He can judge, heal, and restore a marriage. You can counsel, pray, and support, but God alone brings actual change. During my years in ministry, I’ve witnessed God work many miracles. Even when jealousy and adultery were widely known,
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
I have seen God show mercy, heal, and not bring the expected curse. Sometimes, the harmful words were not spread, and the situation was resolved quietly by God’s help. On a few occasions, though, the curse did come. I have seen people become spiritually unproductive and lose their ability to walk with God, eaten up by sin.
Most of the time, if people can avoid being ashamed and dragging problems into the public eye, there is hope for restoration. It’s important to realize that jealousy may come from the enemy, but sometimes God allows it so that hidden problems come to light and can be dealt with. God loves people and wants them healed.
If you are helping someone with these struggles, remember it is a spiritual battle. Don’t share their struggle with others—bring it to God. Only God can truly judge and fix these things. We can pray, offer support, and share God’s Word, but the ultimate answer lies with God alone.
Restoration Through Discretion and Prayer
Let me share a story from Griffin. A man started spending time with a woman at work, and his wife became jealous. She got a picture of him with the other woman in a car and brought it to our church, asking what to do. We chose not to confront the man or share it with others. Instead, we prayed and supported his wife spiritually, helping her with God’s Word and keeping her focused on her relationship with the Lord.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Overnight, the situation changed. The man ended things and reconciled with his wife. To this day, he does not know that we knew about the picture or the situation. Their relationship was restored, and he is now an elder in the church. This approach was much better than spreading the story or causing public shame. Quiet support and prayer proved to be the most effective solution.
Recap and Guarding Against Spiritual Contamination
Let’s quickly recap. Being touched by a holy person does not make you holy. But being around someone who is spiritually “unclean” can affect you. God sees all sins. Saying “forgive me” is not enough; actual restitution goes deeper and is owed to the Lord, not just to people. God says, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” So we must remember that our actions have greater consequences than we realize.
When you minister to others, always bring their needs before God and avoid getting spiritually contaminated yourself. You can love and help someone caught in sin, such as adultery, but you must remain spiritually guarded. Always be careful and wise, making sure you do not let sin spread to your own life while helping others.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
The Serious Consequences of Sin
Tonight’s topic was heavier and different from usual. Sin is a serious matter and cannot be made light or entertaining. Its consequences are eternal, and the effects run deep through lives and families.
Issues like adultery impact more than just the couple involved. Children, extended families, and even other households are often affected. The problem grows and touches many people, making it a big concern for everyone.
As we finish, let’s give thanks for God’s protection. Pray that He continues to keep us from these troubles and helps us stay pure. These are important, eternal matters worth our attention and prayer.
Closing Prayer and Petition
Father, tonight you have spoken intense and profound truths. These lessons warn and sometimes correct us. I admit my faults and ask for your forgiveness for any time I have sinned against members of Christ’s body. I understand there are consequences for my actions. Father, I pray that you help me settle my account and not add to it.
Book Of Numbers 5:2-31 – How to Overcome Jealousy’s Poison
Help me not to spread spiritual harm or gossip. Remind me to think before I speak, as though each word had a real cost. Make me part of a priesthood that moves beyond fleshly thinking and ministers to others with grace, without prejudice. Let me bring people before you instead of talking about them. When I encounter someone struggling, let me take them to you in prayer, searching your Word for answers and doing so with joy and worship rather than condemnation.
Thank you for the blessing of time spent with others, even those who are hurting. I pray for forgiveness and help for myself and for anyone who is recovering or in need. Lord, we lift all those who are sick or facing struggles to you. We ask for healing and comfort. When we do not know what to say, let your Spirit pray for us and cover all needs. Amen.
