'what did God know about me?'

Maralee Knowlen

One morning last fall, I woke up feeling lightheaded and dizzy. Because prayer is an essential part of my daily life, I sought God's help right away. In order to combat this unsettled, uncomfortable condition, I declared to myself in prayer that God was the only power in charge of the universe and of my life. His government of all creation ruled out the possibility of illness or any kind of discomfort. I thanked Him in advance for whatever He needed me to do that day—and for the unhampered freedom He would give me to do it.

I didn't mention what I was dealing with to my husband, since I felt steady enough to go out to breakfast, which is something we do quite often. But on the way to the restaurant, I continued to feel ill, and I realized that I would need to be steadfast in keeping focused on God's complete control of me. Everything that pertained to my wellness, I knew, was mine because I was His loved daughter.

I hoped that perhaps eating something would help. But it didn't. And I asked the divine Mind to tell me what I needed to know or do or think. Because prayer involves mental transformation, I asked God what needed to be straightened out in my thinking. What did I need to hear or see from God? Most important, what did God know about me?
