Today’s “Bliss” comic shows a grown man kneeling beside his bed in prayer “What part of ‘Porsche 911 Targa 4S with direct fuel injection and VarioCam Plus’ don’t you understand?!”
As I visit in the hospital I ask people what they would like us to pray for. Not surprisingly I never hear requests for fancy cars or fame. When the illusions of control are gone we are humbled by the simple requests for strong legs, simple breathing and the chance to be at home with our loved ones. In this very insight we are made well regardless of whether the fever goes down or the cancer goes into remission.
Mark 10:51-52 51 Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher, let me see again." 52 Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
