What is God to you?
Words in response to this question can be concise or voluminous, calculated or emotional, precise or vague. But it is not so much the words we say or think that actually tell of our concept of God. It is what we think of ourselves. What you think of your present plight or prospects tells what you think God is.
Whether we are turning for the first time or the thousandth time to God for healing, two essential factors in gaining that healing are: (1) what God actually is and (2) the extent to which we acknowledge Him to be what He is. The complaint "Oh, if I could only understand enough, I could be healed" needs to be replaced by a simple, wordless trust in God as able and willing to impart to any one of us the exact truths we need in order to understand that we are His children. The power to have this silent trust is already within us, as is the power to be honest with ourselves. And God has already given proof of His will to make known the truth that frees us from the errors of belief in other powers. Christ Jesus is that proof.
