This camp counselor hadn’t had many healings of his own when he injured himself at camp. But even though the injury didn’t seem like a big deal, he realized this was still an opportunity to pray.

I continued to panic and felt trapped, knowing that if the car ran out of gas, it wouldn’t be long before I would be in dire straits. I was so shaken that I figuratively threw my hands in the air and asked God, “Now what do I do?”
In those moments of feeling God’s presence, of feeling the vastness of divine Love, the unstoppability of Life, the stages of grief seemed to evaporate like a mist when the sun shines through.
