Worship Is Actually Therapy

Sunday, December 5, 2021

In the Greek New Testament, the word therapeuo means to heal. But it also means, to adore or to worship. This is amazing because two very important things are connected: worship and healing. All the people who were healed by Messiah worshipped Him. But the key here is not that those who are healed worship the Lord, but that those who worship the Lord are healed. There is healing in worshiping the Lord. People go through life carrying wounds in their hearts and scars in their spirits: rejection, anxieties, fears, and other infirmities of the heart. People spend years in therapy trying to get healed. The word therapy also comes from the same Greek word therapeuo, which doesn't just mean therapy or healing, but worship. Do you want healing? Get into His therapy. Spend time every day truly worshiping God. When you are tempted to feel sorry for yourself, or to focus on your problems and fears, worship the Lord instead! Thank God and praise Him! Then you will be applying God's therapy because God's healing comes in worship. rn
