Q: How can I pray more effectively when I’m sick?
A: For me, prayer is about letting myself hear God talk to me—being completely open to whatever God is saying. So the ideas that help me, and even the way I pray, are different every time. But I’d say one thing is pretty consistent, and really helpful, in all my prayers: knowing what God is, and knowing what I am as God’s image.
Here’s an example of how that led to healing.
