Praying for my world—and ours

By Richard A. Nenneman

When someone experiences even a bit of the liberation that comes through spiritual healing—the physical and mental freedom that results from being renovated from within—it's natural to want to share it with others. "Why, this is for the whole world," we may have said to ourselves.

It may seem challenging, however, to realize that one's own exploration of God's laws of health brings with it an accompanying demand to try to heal the world's ills, including its political and economic challenges.

This is what may have been on the prophet Isaiah's mind when he told the Hebrews, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations" (Isa. 54:2). So it's important to ask oneself, What is it that occupies my thought? Am I as concerned about the state of the world as I am about healing my latest personal trouble?
