Welcome Tuesday! Do you feel “super”? Here at TDA, let the rambling begin.
- One of my friends and mentors, Pastor Bob Combs, had a heart attack over the weekend.
- Many showed high levels of concern.
- Thankfully, the prognosis looks good.
- But do you ever wonder exactly how to pray?
- I know God has provided medicine and gifted doctors.
- I always praise God with patients in the hospital that this level of care is available to us in the U.S.
- The inner conflict? God transcends medicine. He sovereignly controls all!
- I know prayers have led to different results than medicine expected.
- So as we pray for those in the hospital, the words of “The Lord’s Prayer” ring out: Thy will be done.
- Praying for God’s will reminds us that his plans may accomplish way more (or dare I say less) than we as humans may achieve.
- Can God do the miraculous? Yes, I trust that and regularly ask for that. But I’ve also sat with those for whom the miracle never came.
- God, Thy will be done.
- Another angle: when I am commonly sick (cold, cough, etc.) why do I pop a pill before I pray?
- I can’t come up with a good reason why I wouldn’t pray about everything, small illnesses included.
