Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And recently, my secretary Francie had to go in for an MRI. She wasn’t looking forward to it, but she followed the technician’s instructions to put on the gown and lie down on the cold table. Everything was fine, that is until she was deep in the machine. Claustrophobia kicked in, and Francie felt as if the walls of the machine were closing in on her. That’s when she began to recite in her head the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done...” But then the machine kept producing these loud thumps and noises. And so, what did Francie do? She began to sing the Lord’s Prayer. And before she knew it, the MRI was over. So, friend, whatever it may be—whether it’s an MRI exam or some other awful test—put your mind at ease by praying [and singing] the Word of God.
