Begin with gratitude
Adapted from a Daily Lift podcast on christianscience.com.
Healing and sports have something in common—the importance of not neglecting the fundamentals.
Golfers and baseball players, for example, often practice the basics of good alignment, a balanced stance, and getting their hands in the right position. Both pros and amateurs focus on these elemental concepts. I’ve observed that consistent spiritual healers also regularly return to the fundamentals—of prayer. And the Bible suggests that gratitude is one of the fundamental aspects of prayer.
