Watch a Glimpse of Gratitude of Praise
Why Praise Matters
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”
(Psalm 150:6)
Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that is within me,
bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and
forget not all His benefits. (Psalm 103:1-2)
We offer the sacrifice of praise, gratitude, testimonies as worship in this support space . This is a time to gather and share what we're grateful for in our lives.
We recognize and thank God, our lives, and those
who impact our lives.
It is hard to be grateful or feel like praising God when you are going through so much pain, disappointment, devastation, and loss?
Let's be honest. We are human.
To lift the heaviness we praise, we acknowledge
God's wonder and surrender to Him.
It isn't always easy, yet He's with us.
"Praise ye The Lord. All I want to do is praise ye The Lord. You've been so good to me so I praise ye the Lord and lift you up and praise your name." Partial chorus in Praise Ye the Lord by Leon Patillo.
Spiritual Medicine gives you a variety of ways you can feel comfortable to express yourself without limitations.

Spiritual Medicine is a program within Juicy Fruits Ministry 501(c)(3). Our goal is to assist you with related needs for daily essentials, groceries, medical needs,
back to school, personal requests, durable medical equipment, family events such as weddings
and funerals, and more with limits. The Pandemic has created an abundance of needs along with epic unemployment. It has been reported that women are leaving the workforce to provide daycare for their children. Heart breaking.
Spiritual Medicine is able to offer financial support through the generous gifts of our partners. We pray
and depend on their giving which allows us to meet approved requests. Requests are subject to change or denial based on the availability of charitable donations.
Please share your needs or request for resources privately. We will pray and be in touch to discuss how
we might be able to assist you or refer you to outside resources. Please allow 2 - 8 weeks for processing.
Prayer Request
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them". Matthew 18:20
God calls us to have the heart of a child with reliance, trust and unlimited faith in Him. We at Spiritual Medicine are here to unite in intercessory prayer with you based on your prayer requests. Prayer is intimate, powerful and our love language of talking to God.
The Bible is filled with numerous types of prayers. However, the unifying thread in prayer is coming to God through Jesus Christ, affirming our spiritual practice, and seeking God's presence, thanksgiving, love, petitions, reflection, sanctification and more.
We will partner with you in confidential prayer. We'd also like to rejoice with you in praise as God answers.
“ Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Please note we know God is the Great Physician.
In the Garden of Eden He conducted the first surgery, removing a rib from Adam to form Eve. Luke, the physician and companion to Paul wrote both the Gospel of Luke
and the book of Acts. God uses our medical doctors, nurses, and specialist to bring healing treatments to our lives.
We encourage you to always seek medical care and follow the advice of your doctors. Prayer is a spiritual tool, but not a substitute for medical treatment. We are not professionals.
Liz's vulnerability to share her experience with seizures resulting from brain cancer
in a blog offers support and hope to help others is shared here listen in.
Spiritual Medicine like Liz is reimagining what support groups are today.
As we fight illnesses please email us or come to our groups for support that matters.
We are walking this path together at Spiritual Medicine.
We want you to know we are here for you & yours.
