Joy: Imagine Healing for a Friend

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven you.’’‘ -Luke 5:20

Do you have a friend who is sick or troubled? Take some time today to pray for them.  As you pray, imagine complete healing for them or their situation. Pray for God’s wholeness and reconciliation in your friend’s circumstance. If you feel it is appropriate, send your friend a card or an email letting them know you were thinking about them today.


As part of our 12 Days of Christmas celebration, we are delighted to share with you a preorder bonus created in collaboration with and offered by our publisher, Herald Press. Just send us an email at some.comfortandjoy@gmail.com with your order number and the name of the retailer and you will receive an email in reply with a blessing, a recipe card, and a breath prayer/coloring page.

Some Comfort and Joy was developed as a devotional resource that follows the rhythms and seasons of the liturgical year from an Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective.
