Called to the Appointment: Receiving God’s Healing and Presence
Faith & Inspiration | August 08, 2025
This reflection urges us to block out distractions and meet God one-on-one, welcoming healing and purpose at the Prayer Summit

Curated from Councilwoman Rhonda Logan

The One Memphis Prayer Summit at One City Church continued with a powerful reminder: every gathering with God is a sacred appointment. Much like the certainty of a doctor’s visit—a set time to focus on health—this call invited everyone present to see their attendance as a divine booking, met by God’s real and healing presence.

The speaker likened the intimacy of one-on-one encounters, whether with a physician or a trusted advisor, to our meeting with God. Each of us arrives with our own needs and burdens. Just as a doctor prescribes a remedy for the body, God has already prepared a prescription for the soul, waiting for us to receive it.

Attendees were encouraged to recognize that God has “sent in the word for today”—a timely message suited to each heart. The call was clear: block out all distractions, center your mind, and focus on why you are present. Stop for a moment, acknowledge what you carry, and direct your attention fully toward the One who has called you to this holy meeting.

The heart of this moment was an open invitation: receive what you need. Each person knows the desires deep within, the petitions laid quietly before God. The challenge: don’t leave until you have made the exchange—letting go of your worries and taking up the healing, hope, and clarity God offers.

As the session unfolded, it became more than mere attendance; it was about presence, surrender, and making room to truly encounter God—not leaving until you’ve received the breakthrough He intends for you.

Summary:
This reflection invites us to treat spiritual gatherings as sacred appointments with God. When we block out distractions and focus, we make space to receive healing, guidance, and wholeness. The call from One Memphis is clear: come ready, be present, and don’t walk away until you’ve experienced the fullness God longs to give.
