Bible example of God Answering their prayers asking for healing because they were sick Positively are these people;

  • Hezekiah – “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, `This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now, you will go up to the temple of the LORD. I will add fifteen years to your life.

Bible examples of God Not Answering their prayers;

  1. Jesus asked that this cup be taken from him- but what did God say?”Not my will, but yours be done.” In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was in agony. He asked God three times to take away the cup of suffering that he was about to endure. each time, God’s answer was the same; “Not
  2. Paul asked that his thorn in the flesh be taken from him- but what did God say? “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”In  II Corinthians 12:Paul asks God to remove a “thorn in the flesh” that was causing him pain and suffering.
  3. But instead of taking away the thorn, God tells Paul that his grace is sufficient.So we see from these examples that, sometimes God will answer our prayers for healing, and other times He will not. But we can trust that God always knows what is best for us, and He will answer our prayers in His perfect timing. If you are facing a health challenge right now, I encourage you to pray

As God’s Children, He always wants to Hear our prayers?

As God’s Children, He always wants to hear our prayers. Even though we may not always get the answers that we are looking for, He is always listening. Sometimes, we have to go through tough times in order to learn lessons that will make us stronger in our faith.

In those times, it is important to remember that God is always with us and that He loves us no matter what happens. By praying to Him and staying close to Him, we can get through anything that life throws our way.

If God decides to Heal us we should?

If God decides to heal us, we should be grateful. We should not question His decision or try to second-guess His plan. We should simply trust that He knows what is best for us and accept His gift of healing with humility and thanksgiving. Of course, this does not mean that we should never seek medical treatment or take steps to protect our health.

But it does mean that we should not put our faith in earthly remedies instead of in the Lord. When we are sick, we should pray for healing and then trust that God will answer in His own time and in His own way. Whether He chooses to heal us physically or spiritually, we can be confident that His plan is perfect and that He will work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).

If God decides Not to Heal us we should?

If God decides not to heal us, we should accept His decision and move on. We may not understand why He has chosen not to heal us, but we must trust that He knows what is best. Perhaps He has a plan for us that does not involve physical healing.

Or maybe He wants us to learn and grow from our experience of illness. Whatever the reason, we must have faith that God knows what He is doing. We may not like His decision, but we must trust that He knows what is best for us.

Final Thoughts – The Sick Man’s Prayer

When we are sick we should never hesitate in coming before God and asking for his healing hand. He may choose to do it miraculously, he may do it through your Doctors. He may also choose that it is not his answer to heal us, Pauls Thorn in the flesh. Jesus’ death ended up in the Salvation of Mankind.
