Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

– Jeremiah 17:14 (NIV)

This verse is full of confidence in what God can do as we ask for it. It is not an arrogant stance, but a stance that is needed as we submit the request. Another way of asking is to say to God if you use your power to heal me, then it is done.

If we ask for salvation, that too is a done deal. We will be in His family because of our belief in what Christ has done on our behalf.

And when all is said and done, this verse gives God a confident statement about what we do: God is the one that we praise. Not our efforts, not our way of doing life, but God is the one we praise because He is the healer, He is the savior, He is the one we praise. What a great connection we can have with God if we make the professions that is listed in this one verse:

You heal You save I praise!

Remember we have a Source that is full of power to provide what this verse professes. Let us be confident when we say this to God, knowing that he can do what no one else can do. If you believe this verse, say it with a robust clarity that He will not only do it, but it is done!

GOD, pick up the pieces.

Put me back together again You are my praise!

–Jeremiah 17:14 (MSG)
