Pray So That You May Do the Will of God! What This Means for Us Spiritually!

Pray So That You May Do the Will of God! What This Means for Us Spiritually! We are known not only by what we say . . . but what we do. In today’s Gospel, Jesus presents us with several things. Jesus is coming from the synagogue. He goes to Simon Peter’s house where He lays his healing hands on Peter’s mother-in-law. Later, many of the sick come to Jesus, and He heals them all. We are told in scripture that when we go to Jesus in total trust . . . in faith . . . Jesus grants healing. The problem Christians have is we often command what we want from Jesus. Jesus gives us the healing that we need! We need to accept the healing that He gives. That might or might not align with the healing that we want. Again, we need to accept the healing that He gives. Hear more in the Homily. Jesus Prays to Do the Will of God Jesus also gives us another lesson. Scripture tells us Jesus often withdraws to pray so that He may do the will of God. In prayer we align ourselves to the will of God. Prayer allows us to discern the will of God. It allows us to find the will of God. Prayer helps us find peace in the will of God. We pray for healing from God. We are asked also to be healers for others. How do we do that? Listen to this Meditation Media. Listen to: Pray So That You May Do the Will of God!
