Chris' Prayer: Kirk Franklin's "Looking for You"

Here's some pain medicine

Pain medicine? I never really thought of my spiritual ills as something needing medication before. I have felt spiritual pain, being broken and lost, that was at least as painful as anything I've experienced physically. But I never really thought of medicating that pain, or what that would even mean. I never really thought in that terminology before.

But it makes so much sense. If we can help ourselves heal quicker physically by using ointments, pills, wraps, etc., then we should be able to heal our spiritual ills quicker, too. That medication comes in the form of music in this case, or perhaps some reading (either the Bible or otherwise), sharing with friends, or going to service. All of these things act as medicine to help heal spiritual pain.

Thank you, Dr. Franklin, for the pain medicine you provided me tonight.
