Several months ago, my cat, Blacko, was feeling sick.
He was moaning and throwing up occasionally. My family and I had no idea what was wrong with him.
We did all that we can to help him, but he still continued to feel sick. Soon, my parents began to make plans to take Blacko to the vet.
Does Jesus Care?
“Blacko! Where are you?”
“MEEEAAAAAAAAOOOOW!”
My cat was now hiding in all kinds of funny places.
From my messy closet to the bathroom (in fact, the above photo is of Blacko hiding in the bathroom!).
On this particular day, he was in and out of my closet, moaning all over my bedroom.
“Meaooooow! Meaoooooow!”
Soon, Blacko rested near my closet door.
He still wasn’t feeling well.
Will Jesus care if I prayed for Blacko? I thought.
I decided to go ahead and pray for him.
I picked up my Bible, opened it, and knelt down in front of my cat. I placed my hand over Blacko and I began to silently pray for my cat, claiming two Bible promises:
>Malachi 4:2
>Psalm 6:2
I prayed:
“Dear Lord, my cat is feeling sick right now. Please Lord, fulfill Your promises in Malachi 4:2 and Psalm 6:2. Please arise over Blacko with healing in Your wings, as Your promised here in Malachi 4:2. God, I also wanna claim Psalm 6:2 as well. Please Father, have mercy on my cat, for he feels weak. O Lord, heal Blacko, for he is troubled with sickness.”
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
One Day Later…
The next day I woke up, ready for another day of blogging.
After having devotions, family worship, and breakfast, my mom suddenly pointed out,
“Hey! Blacko hasn’t been throwing up like before!”
I looked at Blacko, sleeping soundly on the couch.
I realized that all the moaning and vomiting he had for the past couple days was COMPLETELY gone!
We didn’t need to take Blacko to the vet after all!
God healed my cat!
A Lesson Behind The Story
James 5:15 says:
And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
(James 5:15)
Just like my simple prayer of faith in God’s promises saved my sick cat from further days of suffering, God is calling us to pray in faith for the sin-sick souls around us!
So, dear reader, if you desire to pray the prayer of faith on behalf of a sin-sick soul you know –or maybe for your own sin-sick soul–I wanna encourage you to just pray:

I remember when he got the boo boo on his paw and we prayed for wisdom how to deal with it. The Lord inspired me to use olive supplement mixed with water on it. It worked!!
May we continue to seek the Lord first for wisdom and guidance in life.
