Your Question:
Can I trust doctors again after this?
Answer:
I can understand your concern about trusting doctors after hearing about some of the misdiagnoses and miscommunications that have taken place. As someone who has experienced a similar situation with my son, I can attest to the importance of communicating effectively with medical professionals. When my son was in a car accident, he suffered from back and knee pain, and we prayed for his complete healing while also ensuring he received proper medical attention. It's essential to remember that God can heal through doctors, too, as the Bible says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up" (James 5:14-15). This scripture reminds us to pray first and then seek medical help when necessary. Our church has seen numerous instances where prayer and medical treatment have worked together to bring about healing. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the power of prayer and faith in healing. While the outcome and timing are ultimately God's decisions, we can trust in His sovereignty and provision. When we pray for healing, it's not a guarantee, but it's a reminder that God is always working, even when we can't see the results. My wife, Susan, and I have prayed for our children's health and well-being, and we've seen God's goodness and provision in their lives.
