What happens when you've been stuck in the same painful condition for decades? The man at the Pool of Bethesda had been waiting 38 years for healing, positioned right next to a miraculous solution yet unable to reach it. His story perfectly captures how many of us approach our seemingly impossible health challenges today.
This powerful Morning Prayer session dives deep into John 5:5-9, exploring how Jesus approaches healing in ways that completely defy our logical expectations. Rather than following the established "system" of healing at the pool, Jesus simply commands: "Rise, take up your bed and walk." The paralyzed man was healed instantly, without ever touching the water he'd fixated on for decades.
Through heartfelt intercession, we cover a spectrum of healing needs—from chronic physical pain that medication can no longer touch to neurological disorders deemed "irreversible," from organ failures requiring transplants to mental health challenges like schizophrenia and brain fog. The consistent thread woven throughout our prayers acknowledges that while medical science might have limitations, Jesus specializes in cases labeled "impossible."
Perhaps most comforting is our reminder that even when others forget our suffering because we maintain our routines and smiles, God never forgets. He sees the private battles and silent tears. When Jesus looks at you, He doesn't just observe your condition—He invites you to rise from it, regardless of how long you've been waiting.
Whether you're battling illness yourself or interceding for loved ones, join us in this faith-building time of prayer. Remember to connect with us again tomorrow at 6am as we continue to give God the first fruits of our day through Morning Prayer.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
