Persistent prayer reveals that sight is spiritual

Originally published in German

Some time ago, a friend and I were at a soccer field to watch a game with our village team. During the game, I received a WhatsApp message from an acquaintance asking for prayer. 

I stepped aside to respond and stopped paying attention to what was going on in the game. I wrote that error, the opposite of Truth, God, would torpedo us, but we should stick to the truth. 

Just as I sent the message, the soccer ball hit me with full force in my right eye. I was momentarily stunned but affirmed that in God’s orderly, harmonious universe—the kingdom of heaven all around us—there are no accidents. This helped me focus on the spiritual truth of the situation and assure the players as well as some nearby spectators that all was well.
