Susee Mable's Silent Meditations

The Miracle of Christ Healing the Blind by El Greco Over the past four months, I have been ill with different physical ailments. This is why I have not posted as often as I had intended to do on this blog. When I am ill, I always turn to God in prayer. And He always listens to my prayers, providing me with a great deal of help. For a few days during my suffering, I had such thoughts as these: “Why God? Why? Since my childhood days—when I’d known any knowledge of the world and of Heaven and God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, I was and still am very faithful to you. Why must there be so much suffering for me?” Then I opened the Bible, and the following verses came before my eyes: Book of John, Ch 9: 1-3 Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind 1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so tha...

Read 2 Corinthians 1: 3-7 “In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul.” Psalms 94:19 Pray like this: Give me a Spirit of peace dear Lord, in the middle of storms and temptations that roll; that I may find rest, and quiet with a calm burned deep in my soul. “The God who washes away our sins also wipes away our tears.”

(1) Be yourself and be happy about who you are. (2) A flower unseen blooms just as beautifully and smells just as sweet. So don’t worry.

I Corinthians 3:16: Don’t you know that you yourself are God’s temple and that God’s spirit lives in you? Mark 11:23-24: Whoever says to the mountain, be taken up and cast into the sea, and doesn’t doubt in his heart, it will be done for him. This passage means that whatever you ask for in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Whenever you do pray, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your father also forgives you. Jesus Christ’s mission is to give love and forgiveness.
