Matthew 9:12
"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick"
Most of us have experienced times when we really needed a physician and we not only called the doctor but also spent time in prayer asking for healing. God does hear our prayers and His healing comes in many ways, including the hands and skills of the medical professionals.
Every time I receive Communion I am made aware that I need God, The Great Healer, in another way. I need healing for any sin or shortcoming in my life so that I may be well in my soul as well as body.
In both my spiritual and physical body I find that if proper care is lacking, what God expects of me is lacking.
It feels so good to "be about the work of my heavenly Father." Lent is a wonderful time to assess my spiritual condition and to learn, again, the blessing of doing my best to be whole.
During these many years there have been many times when help was needed and, for this help, my thanks have gone out to many people, but I am most thankful to know that "My help comes from the Lord" (Psalm 121)
