Hi guest,

[Genesis 9:13-16]
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

The rainbow is a reminder of God's covenant never to destroy all living creatures. For me it is also a reminder of God's love. Jesus died for our sins so that God will not punish us again for the punishment that has already been meted out to Jesus. After becoming Christians, we must remind ourselves not to go back to the law (do good, get good, do bad, get beat). God's grace is sufficient. He has forgiven us of past sins and future sins. You have repented and God is not going to come to destroy you to make sure that you regretted your actions. We can't explain grace, but we just have to receive it. If you know that you know that you have been forgiven and that every stripe that Jesus took on his back was for you, you would have the assurance to ask for His healing and receive it.

[1 Peter 2:24]
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Father,

I thank You that perfect love casts out all fear. Cause this guest to have a full revelation of your perfect love and remove every kind of fear. We trust in You that You will be our Father and our refuge. Give his guest the perfect health that you have purchased for us on the Cross through the blood of Your Son Jesus.

In Jesus' Name, Amen
