Our All-powerful Physician

Our wound is serious, but the Physician is all-powerful. Does it seem to you so small a mercy that, while you were living in evil and sinning, he did not take away your life, but brought you to belief and forgave your sins?

What I suffer is serious, but I trust the Almighty. I would despair of my mortal wound if I had not found so great a Physician.

-- Sermon 352, 3

Prayer. Bring relief to a serious wound with your great medicine. Mine is serious, but I take refuge in the Almighty.

-- Commentary on Psalm 50, 6
