MEDITATION: How to Pray — The Snake Story (Parashat Chukat)

In this meditation, we look at the story of the snake bites and Moshe’s placement of a snake on a pole for the people to look at in order to be healed. We explore what this story teaches us about how to pray for physical and emotional healing — the need to see very clearly the thing that is bothering you — the snake of the matter — to name it and place it in front of you, and then to turn that matter over to God, to turn your heart towards heaven and ask for help with this particular thing.
