Eye on the World: Praying about the flu

This year’s “flu season” is more severe than usual, according to headlines. Health officials say the seasonal flu is widespread, and many people have lined up at free clinics to receive immunization.

We can respond to the fear of contagious diseases with prayer, which reveals that God never made or sanctioned anything that would sap our strength or vitality.

Counteracting the flu: make room for health” provides a good starting point for our prayers. Acknowledging the spiritual source of our health does more than just make us feel less afraid — it also “makes room” for health and safety in our thinking and our lives.
