This week’s topic started with Dale’s problem: how to pray for someone with chronic pain, “when you’ve prayed for a long time and healing doesn’t come.”
My final answer? You keep praying. Pray for healing, yes, but not just healing:
- Pray for a good night’s sleep
- Pray for smiles and giggles and chuckles
- Pray for unexpected delights: a new bird at the feeder, a bouquet of field flowers, a call from an old friend
- Pray for Godwinks — aka “coincidences.” God’s way of saying, “I have my eye on you!”
