Hi, Marsha… We must remember that God’s ways are higher than ours, His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8,) therefore it is impossible to understand why God chooses to heal some people, and then chooses to heal others in eternity. He is always working on a much higher plan, with purposes that we don’t always understand or see. Our job is to trust Him and faithfully pray for the impossible, not wavering in our belief that God is still in the business of performing miracles. We shouldn’t be fearful that God will be upset with us if we pray for something that is not supposed to happen. He knows our sincere hearts and will show us, in His Word, when something we are praying for is not His will. We just have to quiet our spirits and listen to Him, Bible in hand… and let the peace that surpasses all understanding be the judge within our hearts. Thank you for your comment. It’s a fair question! Blessings,

As I spend time this weekend with my 83 year old mom who is facing news about aggressive cancer in her body, I will trust the God of the impossible!

What if I get an illness and pray for healing but that isn’t what’s supposed to happen? How do I reconcile that?

Congrats on the new book. We are all blessed by your gift.

I’m at my mother’s house preparing to care for her as she is coming home from rehab after breaking her femur. I will remember, and practice, the power of prayer in faith and with thanksgiving!
Blessings!
