Storm of Illness

When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible distress.” And he said to him, “I will come and cure him.” The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant will be healed.

Jesus healed. He is still healing people today. In some cases he said the sick were healed because of faith. Jesus told us that if we had faith like a mustard seed we could move mountains and more. Sometimes when we experience a “storm of illness” with a loved one or ourselves; it’s hard to have faith. Gather up your faith and write a prescription to calm your storm.

Comments left at the physical vigil:

*This brings back the memory of my Dad after his farm accident: "He came and cured him"

*Love on everyone. Love thy neighbor.

*When we experience death and or illness in someone we love, we often blame God, but this is when we need him most and he is there to give us strength and love.

*Family, friendship, love...all these things brought by the word of the Lord and God.

*Pray daily, be receptive to Christ in your life in ways you may not expect.

*Let go of all the ideas about how things should be, pay attention to where God is calling you.
