I am so grateful to be able to send along news of healing. For more than a year, I had a spot on my forehead that was sometimes slightly painful.
I often prayed with two passages from the book of Job in the Bible: “If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; if iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away” (11:13–16). And: “If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth” (33:23–25).
Both of these passages gave me great hope that this problem could be healed through prayer. In praying with them, I wanted to understand more fully what preparing my heart and stretching out my hands toward God really meant in my daily life.
