Like you s...Just a million applauses for this post! Like you said, this line of thought really is dangerous because of where it can lead. I heard a story about a family who pulled their terminally ill child out of a hospital so they could pray for their healing instead. The child died. But when their second child came down with the same thing, the family did the same thing, assuming that they simply hadn't had enough faith the first time. The second child died too. It's heartbreaking, but it shows just where this line of thinking can lead: people assume they just didn't have enough faith the first time, so they try again. When really, they need to trust in the resources that God has already given them and then in His ultimate plan to do what is best for us.<br /><br />The way I see prayer, God either says, "Yes," "Wait," or "I'll do you one better." Because, even if we can't see it, even if we <i>never</i> see it, everything He does is for the ultimate good of the world---and our good when we go home to be with Him. So even if He says "No," what He's really saying is, "I know this hurts, but it isn't in my perfect plan. Yet I <i>promise</i> that, in the end, this will turn out far better than anything you could ever ask or think."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbosityreviews.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-73686278051084856682016-11-16T18:03:11.729-08:002016-11-16T18:03:11.729-08:00Those are some great points. 😀 And I'm sure y...Those are some great points. 😀 And I'm sure you don't just pray, expecting God to heal you. You use methods he's provided to try and get healing. Sometimes God wants us to act, too. Act in Faith :)Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-49362299972088569092016-11-16T12:09:08.068-08:002016-11-16T12:09:08.068-08:00I agree with a lot of what you said especially the...I agree with a lot of what you said especially the one about being sick. Okay, I'm 'sick' I guess. I have Type One diabetes. Sure, I'd like God to heal me and yes, sometimes I do lack the faith but I don't think many people are sick because of lack of faith. Paul was sick and prayed for God to take it away but the Lord said "my grace is sufficient for you." Didn't Paul have faith? Of course, he did!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540365342855306287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-91553241168078990752016-10-13T16:44:01.850-07:002016-10-13T16:44:01.850-07:00Thanks 😊😊 Thanks 😊😊 Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-71194860701695311342016-10-13T16:32:19.601-07:002016-10-13T16:32:19.601-07:00These are all very good points!These are all very good points!Zeb Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377122301979308823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-44161168877135485732016-10-13T16:32:00.347-07:002016-10-13T16:32:00.347-07:00These are all very good points!These are all very good points!Zeb Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377122301979308823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-30889442014590706382016-10-12T17:24:45.663-07:002016-10-12T17:24:45.663-07:00😀🙃🙃😀🙃🙃Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-31657442810289745462016-10-12T12:19:35.148-07:002016-10-12T12:19:35.148-07:00Love it!!
