And the footnote here is that no one is going to achieve perfection in this life, but we can put ourselves on the road toward wholeness. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Today's trouble is enough for today. That is ultimately a healthy and healing attitude.
Healing is contextual.
It arises out of the faith journey and struggle of individuals. It is affirmed, balanced and sustained by a community of faith. We are praying, which means we are entering into a relationship with God. It is to shut up. To listen deeply.
