From movies like Twister and related documentary spinoffs to news reports on the effects of floodwaters in the northern United States and southern Canada, weather has been in the spotlight. Feelings of helplessness often accompany the response both to natural disasters and to other threats—such as the fear of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

While such feelings may argue that all we can do is give in, you'll find a very different perspective in this week's focus—one that is backed up by specific examples of what prayer can do when disaster strikes. "How Spirit dissipated the storm" offers two examples—one a flood, the other a tornado—that show God's power to help in time of need. "'The radiation of Spirit'" probes some of the fears associated with exposure to the sun, and offers a healing antidote.

Under the heading "Workplace," you'll find a feature about the MacKenzie-Childs company and how the right motives brought not just progress but also protection to this business. In "Is matter as solid as it looks?" and "Loving our family" you'll get a fresh perspective on how to heal seemingly substantial physical problems through spiritual means. And young people join in offering thoughts about healing in the "Dear Sentinel" feature.
