If we could see the big picture as God does, then I think we would understand why He heals some now, some later, but we walk by FAITH, not sight. The waiting and trust in His sovereignty is hard, but we trust Him to work for our good and His glory.

Sweet Jesus, why did you write this? I am now convicted and have to deal with it.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend indeed!

Another deeply thought provoking piece. Where is God when I’m in trouble? The question never goes away. I suffer hearing loss, and now have read two stories of people being healed. Why not me? The silence of God is a mystery we simply have to deal with. Thank for encouraging us to deal with it in a posture of gratitude.

What an excellent teaching and biblical response to things we don’t understand trusting the goodness and faithfulness of God above our own understanding

I am not there yet. I feel such rage. It feels completely unjust. I do not see a resolution.

Thank you, Mindi, for being where you are. Be where you are. You are loved where you are.

I resonate with this post. I took me a long time to thank God for things yet unseen, prayers yet unanswered. In the process of letting go, He helped me identify and re-order my

affections, with Him at the top. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
