FLU SYMPTOMS QUICKLY HEALED

CAROL MCFALL

One night I woke up feeling sick, with all the depressingly familiar symptoms of a heavy cold or flu coming on. The timetable of misery loomed—how long could I expect this to last? I had a lot planned for the coming week, and thinking about the timing of all this was actually making me angry. Sleep no longer seemed like a possibility.

But I knew that puzzling over the origin of the symptoms was a distraction from accepting my God-given right to health. Through the gloom came a simple "No." In other words, I wasn't going to consent to anything that didn't have divine authority backing it up.

Here's how I began to pray that night: I saw that I could identify and immediately take control of thoughts about myself and bring them into line with what I knew to be spiritually true about God, and myself as God's reflection. That was the premise of my prayers. And I began this sorting process—thought by thought. (My mother used to say that when you know what is true, then what is not true stands out like a sore thumb!)
