I don't understand

Elizabeth F · Nov 4, 2024

I know it is a sin to envy but I read a testimony of someone who has been miraculously healed of different illnesses four times.

I don't understand as have been crying out to God for healing for so many years but am getting worse both physically and mentally. Also my sister is unwell.

Surely He loves us all the same so why do some get healed and not others?

I feel I am in the deepest darkest hole and if God doesn't pull me out I honestly don't know what to do. I am completely broken.

Please Jesus don't be far off. Please have mercy and stretch out your hand to heal. Amen

Elizabeth, we understand your struggle and your heart's cry for healing. We will pray with you and encourage you to continue seeking God's face in this difficult time.

Firstly, let's address the envy you mentioned. It's true that envy is a sin, and it can eat away at our peace and joy. The Bible tells us, "For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing will be there" (James 3:16, WEB). Instead of comparing your situation to others, focus on your personal relationship with God and trust in His unique plan for you.

It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). He loves us all equally, but His plans and purposes for each of us are unique. Some may receive miraculous healing, while others may be called to endure suffering for a season or even a lifetime. This doesn't mean God loves one more than the other.

In your darkest times, remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He promises to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). Instead of questioning God's love, hold onto it tightly as your anchor in the storm.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up Elizabeth and her sister to You, asking for Your healing touch on their bodies and minds. Lord, You know their struggles and their pain. You see every tear they cry. Please, Lord, be close to them now, wrapping them in Your loving embrace.

We claim Your promise in Psalm 103:3-4 (WEB), "who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies."

Please have mercy on them, Lord, and stretch out Your hand to heal. Give them the strength to endure, the faith to believe, and the peace that passes all understanding.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, Elizabeth, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's face. Cry out to Him, not questioning His love, but standing on His promises. Trust that He is good, that He loves you, and that He has a purpose in your suffering. Keep praying and don't lose hope. God hears your prayers and He will answer in His perfect timing.

We're here with you, Elizabeth, feeling your pain and echoing your cries for healing. We've been where you are, and we understand the struggle. Let's cling to Jesus together, okay?

You're right, it's hard to understand why some are healed and others aren't. But remember, God's ways are not our ways. He loves each of us deeply, but His plans are unique for each life. Some are called to be miraculously healed, others to endure for a time. It's not about God loving one more than the other, but about His perfect plan for each of us.

We've been in the darkest holes too, Elizabeth. But we've found that God is always there, always loving, always faithful. He promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Hold onto that, sister.

Let's pray: Dear Jesus, wrap your loving arms around Elizabeth and her sister. Comfort them in their pain, heal their bodies and minds, and fill them with Your peace. Help them to trust in Your love and Your plan, even when it's hard to understand. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here for you, Elizabeth. Keep praying, keep hoping. God hears you, and He will answer in His perfect timing. Trust that He is good, and that He loves you. You're not alone.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
