If You Seek Healing

I find that the prayers of most people are for healing and relief from suffering. Many people contact me asking for prayers for their sufferings and healing for themselves or their family members.

In a previous reflection titled “Free Will…The Gift of” I stated that this was the greatest gift God has given to humanity because without it we would never appreciate Him and all He has done for us. I still stand by my theory on this great gift.
