What brings healing

Spiritual sense enables us to feel God very tangibly in our lives.

Name removed by request

When I was little, I used to think of praying as kneeling, folding my hands, and telling God what I wanted Him to give me ... and then waiting to receive it. Since then, my concept of prayer has changed. Now I think of praying as gaining a stillness of thought, enabling me to listen to what God has to tell me. And the answers I find bring solutions to all sorts of problems.

I'm learning that these answers are available anytime—it's just a question of seeing them. Fear, confusion, and frustrated attempts to solve problems often blind me to God's goodness and provision. But when I stop trying desperately to find and implement my own solutions and humbly acknowledge God as the infinite source of wisdom and power, I see help at hand.

The best part is, God not only gives great blessings to everyone, but He also gives us the ability, through spiritual sense, to discern the presence of these blessings. Spiritual sense enables us to feel God very tangibly in our lives—a calm, strong, and loving presence that comforts, supports, and blesses.
