Healing experience

Allison W. Phinney, Jr.

Have you ever noticed that experiences of healing through prayer sometimes seem to disappear from memory? We may even wonder, as we think back vaguely, if we ever really had them.

A skeptic could easily jump in with a cynical comment, but there are some different conclusions to be drawn.

We find, for example, when we are not thinking in an unfocused way and our spiritual sense of things is awakened, that we did indeed have such healings through our prayer and insistence on the reality that spiritual sense affords. And then we remember the details quite easily. (While I've been writing this editorial, for example, I recalled a healing in our family that I hadn't thought about from the time it occurred.)
