So many people (in the church especially) treat God like a magician and prayer like a spell to get what they want, when its really not that at all.
Prayer is actually a beautiful tool to help us gain intimate access to our creator, friend, provider, and hope. That time with Him (in prayer) can give us peace and comfort in the world of discomfort and pain while healing.
And as we embrace the God given tools of community, counseling, and medicine (if needed), true healing can occur.
It is important for us to realize this truth.
So thank you for being transparent and for so-beautifully putting this into words.
I so appreciate this and the way you put it.
