Many prayers are offered up because of sickness. Oftentimes we use prayer as the means of getting instant healing. It's as if we expect God to work a miracle ASAP in our lives (which God can do).
However, I think it is important to reflect on the many ways of "healing" that God can use.
1. We make a change in our diet that allows our immune system to make the difference.
2. We see a physician who prescribes medication that works.
3. We get on the right track from the advice of a friend.
4. We are led to see a new physician who has the answer.
5. We are healed directly by God's intervention.
How open are you to the various ways that God can bring healing into your life? As you pray, it might make you more alert to all that goes on in your life to bring an answer to your prayer.
