Asking for Keys

  Lately I have been asking God for keys.  (No, not car keys or house keys.)  What is the key for healing autism?  What is the key for healing multiple sclerosis?  What is the key for healing down syndrome?  What is the key for healing asthma or allergies?  I haven't been asking for treatments, I've been asking keys to healing.  When Jesus walked the earth, he healed people, he didn't treat them.  He didn't offer a treatment to the 10 lepers.  He didn't offer a treatment for blindness or lameness.  That's not to say that I don't appreciate everything doctors today can do to treat and heal.  I do appreciate them and their knowledge.  But there are so many diseases for which we have no answers as to cause, no treatment for relief, and no cure.
  Jesus said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Luke 11:9).

  For reflection:  Can we join together in asking God for keys to healing?  What disease affects you or your family?
  Let us pray.  Jesus, we are asking, we are seeking, we are knocking.  Please give us the keys to open the doors of healing.  Holy Spirit, author of hope, inspire us with the answers.
