‘In healing one can concentrate on either of two attributes, the power of God or the love of God. But in every healing there is a manifestation of both.’ ~Francis MacNutt

There is a part of everyone’s life that needs healing. It isn’t just confined to health but it can be any part of our lives that needs the gentle touch of God. Medicine is one of God’s gifts to initiate and sustain healing but all the prescriptions in the world cannot compete with deep spiritual healing. If we are not open to healing itself, it will struggle to happen in our lives. Our prayer today as we move closer to Christmas is to pray for God’s gentle healing and gentle touch in our lives. We ask for this especially in those areas of our lives that are vulnerable and exposed, those parts of our lives that need closure. With every healing is the promise of new life and new beginnings especially this Christmas.
