Why we may not be
seeing our healing.
Our healing may not be God’s immediate will for us. He could
be using our illness for a short term way of getting our attention or someone
else’s. It might be to remind us we are mortal human beings or to teach us
something important about our life. How many times has an illness caused a
person to reorganize their priorities? God may have some urgent matters for us
to attend to before He deals with our physical and mental healing.
If God is allowing our illness to continue for some reason,
we need to find out what that reason is if at all possible! If it is for some
lesson, then we need to learn that lesson and not continue suffering in our
illness. Once we have learned our lesson, made the necessary change He wants us
to make, we should see our healing occur. When the lesson is learned, it should
be over. There are many other ways God can continue to instruct us into His
will for us. We must speak with God about His will for us.
When we suffer from physical or mental ailments we need to
search for a purpose deeper than that pain we are suffering from. Our challenge
must be to discover the lesson God wants us to learn, while we are praying for
our healing, or else when our healing doesn’t come immediately or at all we are
likely to become bitter or angry and blame God, someone else or life itself. Remember
what God says in (Jeremiah 29:11) “For I
know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you, and not to harm you.”
Also remember you are
special to God. You are a child of the most, high God, and He listens to
your concerns and will answer them. Just talk to Him. He is waiting to hear
your thoughts and prayers now. I am praying our Father always blesses you.
