“‘I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners, creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,’ says the Lord. ‘And I will heal them'” Isaiah 57:18-19 (NIV)

Dear Father Jehovah Raphe,
We come before Your Presence God our Healer
To first thank you for all Your Love, Protection and Care over Us
We ask that you be, not only with us, but our family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, leaders and country as well
Here and around the world-be close to those that are Yours-even our enemies
For Jesus taught us to forgive one another and to live a life of united Love
So we ask that you teach us how to do that daily with a humble and learning spirit
Loving our neighbors as ourselves in Your righteousness and truth
Prioritizing you first and foremost in Love with all of our mind, heart, strength
We submit to you, needing you now and always
If it is in Your will, we petition, to heal our land and take away these sicknesses from our midst
Knowing that whatever you decide, we trust in you always
Be with us who look to you for help in Your plan for our lives
Save us Lord, and Guide us faithfully to Your Salvation
For You are Good and Your love endures forever.
All that lies inside us, and goes on outside us, what we may not have adequate words for
We believe and hold that you know our soul’s desires and the secret utterances of our Spirit
For we are Yours and it is in Jesus’ name we put our hopeful prayer confidently & securely in. Amen!

Luke 12: 6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Sparrows are a part of 18 different bird species mentioned in the bible. Out of more than 11,000 bird species there are 140 different sparrows in the species. A part of the family Passeridae, they live on every continent except Antartica. Not only do they have beautiful singing and chirping voices to claim territory and attract mates; they are very persistent, smart and resourceful. Their brain consists of about 4.3% of their full body weight (considerably more than other birds). More than 150 bird species have gone extinct over the last 5 centuries. 20 years ago the house sparrow was considered almost totally to have disappeared, now it is making a comeback from being considered threatened and endangered. They love to be close to humans. So it is important as we evolve our environment keeps them protected and safe from extinction.
Sparrows on average are about 4-8 inches long and have a life span aproximately 3-5 years. They are relatively little in comparison to the over 9 million species in the animal kingdom of which humans are included. The Animalia kingdom being the largest and most diverse of the 5 kingdoms of living things, needs birds like these which are vital in controlling pests in our ecological system. Today you can buy a sparrow as a pet for about $20, however in biblical times you can buy two for 1 penny, basically meaning 1 sparrow was free.
Why go into depth about a sparrow, knowing many readers who are simply not interested in this topic have already stopped scrolling? I credit you for getting this far. After all, there are far more germane blog topics to write about under the heading God is Present right? Well, here’s the additional reward for you. See the word “bird”, mentioned over 42 times in general in the bible, references the sparrow over 7 times. Why?.. because they matter to God. And what is relevant to God is indispensable with no difference in how big or small they may seem. That is why the scripture in Luke 12:6 is so meaningful because it indicates that despite the world’s views on the value of a sparrow–God treasures each and every one. Equivalently, we can then surely trust and believe He cares for you and I. We are worthwhile, sister, with no divergence from what people or even what we think about ourselves. So fly high! God is Present, Jehovah Shammah, know much “more” He watches and cares over you. (Matt 6:30, Matt 7:11, Lk 11:13)
Concern (C): Sister, have you ever felt small in your own eyes or in the eyes of someone you looked up to, needed or loved? God foreknew in his great wisdom, that we would fall victim to the devil’s trap of believing we are not good enough, important, or valued. It is simply a lie.
Encouragement (E): God’s eye is on YOU! He tells you specifically in scripture how MUCH MORE VALUABLE we are then even the sparrows he lovingly, carefully created for His will and purposes. Yes you have a purpose. Yes you were planned and well thought out. You were designed with awesomeness. Reflected with his image, your being in a relationship with him was so paramount, he gave his only son Jesus a sentence of death on that awful cross.
Act (A): Say thank you God. Be thankful in every circumstance the Bible says. Even if the situation is horrible and discouraging, find something to be grateful for. According to scripture thankfulness is key to receiving His peace (Phil 4:6-7). Thank Him for the victory that’s at the end of every trial and temptation. You know tests are temporary and He is permanently God! Able to save, enduring in love, faithful to our future-God is here and near. This is true Thanksgiving not one day a year but every day for eternity.
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.” Psalm 23:1 NIV
There are many national days in October -Halloween Safety Month, National Sausage Month, Adopt a Shelter Dog and so forth. It is also World Blindness Awareness Month. Established October 2009 by the Little Rock Foundation, in Voorhees, NJ, the subject of blindness and visual impairment needs to be spotlighted. Healthy vision is invariably pivotal!
Around the world, about 2.2 billion people have vision impairment. An estimated 94 million people have cataracts, 57.5 million people have glaucoma and 826 million have farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye, occurring typically in middle and old age.
According to WHO the World Health Organization “everyone, if they live long enough, will experience at least one eye condition in their lifetime.” About half of these cases blindness could have been preventable. To see, one of the major 5 senses, awareness, understanding, maintaining is vital for personal health and promotion.
Top 5 things you can do is 1) watch your sugar, the effects of diabetes can lead to blindness or visual impairment 25x more likely than non-diabetics. 2) wear UVA/UVB sunglasses, to protect your eyes from harmful ultra violet sun rays. 3) Avoid eye strain by taking frequent eye breaks. 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 secs. Use drops/blink often, get anti-glare screens and just get off computer outside of work at least every 2 hours.
In Jesus’ day just like today, many people were sick, lame, poor and blind. Jesus healed those he touched, who wanted to be healed. People followed him from everywhere, going anywhere for that healing. Like a good shepherd, as he self claimed in John 10:11, he cared for the flock. A shepherd is a person responsible for guiding the sheep-protecting, leading, serving and attending to their needs. Sheep cannot survive without a shepherd because they require constant care and watching over. They can die from direct predator attacks, unsustainable injuries and even just from panic. They have little ability to defend each other though they band together. Alone and independent we are in danger, referenced as astrayed sheep in the Bible (Isa 53:6 & 1 Pet 2:25.)
Concern (C): Sister, spiritually speaking, do you see or are you blind and going astray? Matt 9:36 “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
Encouragement (E} Jesus sees you! Rd Psalm 121:3-8. Vs 7-8 Commit to heart, “The Lord will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” God is so good!
Act (A): Let God lead you. In Ps 23 it says”… he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me besides still waters, he refreshes my soul, he guides me for his name’s sake “. However are you letting God do these things? Sheep have very little job to do graze, follow, rest etc. Stop worrying, trying to figure it all out and making it all happen. Not saying to not prepare and do your best, but understand that God has got this all rod and staff in hand. Yes! Sister, when it’s out of your control, leave it for the Shepherd’s role.
Advocate for World Blindness Month! 1) Donate money to help visually impaired like National Federation for the Blind. 2) Read/buy books for the blind. Read to an elderly neighbor or volunteer your reading services. Visit state services for the blind online. 3) Get Be My Eyes, free app that connects sighted volunteers to the visual impaired lending their eyes so that people can lead more independent lives.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” NIV
23 yr old Naomi Osaka is a 4 time Grand Slam singles champion and the 1st Japanese to win Grand Slam title in 2018. However, the win over her battles with anxiety and depression had knocked her off her game. On May 30 2021, she excluded herself from the French Open and subsequently Wimbledon. She refused to answer post game questions in a typical news conference and was subsequently fined $15000. Losing the tournaments was no match for her personal win in prioritizing her mental health. Other athletes have shown support and relativity and are joining the growing trend of those who opt to choose their own media platforms which to give their voices to.
Osaka may be shy to speak but her stances speak loudly. She continually gave manifesto on Black Lives Matter, during the 2020 US open by wearing different names of deceased Blacks on who were killed and shown little/no justice in this country due to racial violence. Additionally, after Haiti’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake, Osaka gave all the prize money from her Western and Southern Open tournament to their relief efforts. She tweeted, “Really hurts to see al the devastation that’s going on in Haiti, and I feel like we really can’t catch a break”
Currently, Osaka who since younger has admired and given homage to sheroes Venus and Serena Willliams, is playing in the 2020 US Open. Forsaking her US citizenship, Naomi became the 1st Japanese tennis player to carry the torch during the opening ceremony and Playing in allegiance to Japan her mother’s motherland. Now in returning to US Open being held in her hometown Queens, she has been quoted as “feeling good” and “confident”. Winning the 1st round in defense of her title, Osaka is in all definitions a conquering victor!
Concern (C): Sister, what matters block you from peace? So many things in this world, Christ says, will try to take away your peace and tranquility. So get a grip its a fact. As a Christian expect challenges. Don’t lose faith in God and throw away all of your rich confidence. No! Face each concern as it arises, plan ahead but stay in the present. For the Bible says in Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow , for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Encouragement (E}: Don’t let anything trouble your heart. John 14:27, Jesus says himself “ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Sister, we need to believe Jesus, it is not only what he says it is what he did too. The one notable time Christ was greatly sorrowful was in the Garden of Gethsemane. Then he prayed. All the other times he demonstrated a quiet and strong trust in his Father. Be childlike in this, keep the formula simple. Trust and Pray.
Act (A): Feeling distressed? Col 3:15 “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful”. Memorize every scripture on peace, as your arsenal to fight against Satanic psychological, emotional attacks. The enemy these days is working a lot on the inside. Don’t let him rule Let God who loves you as his child fight him for you-and you be calm, still giving constant thanks for every win!
Naomi Osaka’s next game is Wednesday, Sept 1, 2021. Check her out and let’s show her love and support!
**Dedicated to Olympians and our sports heroes and sheroes representing the land they love and the God they serve. Special shout out to Sydney McLaughlin, Alia Atkinson, Daniel Rowden, Kelsey Plum, Knott Kristina and Deron Williams giving it all with all their hearts.
