Some years ago, a serious growth developed on my body. At one point it became aggravated, and the need for healing was very evident. At the same time I had a previously scheduled week-long business trip to Africa, to a country I had never before visited. Because I knew no one in the country, I felt I had a perfect opportunity, after each day’s work was completed, to devote uninterrupted time to prayer.
The first evening, as I sat in my dimly lit hotel room far from the comforts of home, I had an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and wondered whether I could rise to the spiritual heights the circumstance demanded. Before I could even begin to pray about the specific problem, I had to gain the confidence that my prayers would be clear and sufficient.
The picture changed when, over the next several hours, my thought settled and I remembered four insights that had not crossed my mind in some years. This set my course for a complete healing within a very short time.
