Have you ever prayed to be healed?

By Mark Swinney

Here is how I prayed one time when I injured my knee. I was skiing—something I absolutely love to do—and on the last run of the day I did a trick called a "helicopter." To do that trick, a person jumps off a bump in the snow and, while in the air, spins completely around and lands facing the same direction in which he or she started. I'd done hundreds of helicopters in my life. This time, however, I landed the wrong way on some hard snow and my knee was hurt. That night I couldn't move around well at all.

In the morning there wasn't any difficulty walking—none at all! I skied the rest of that week and did more helicopters, too.
