Biblical Answer

Healing is a complex issue that involves both the sovereignty of God and the role of faith in the life of the believer. On one hand, the Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all creation and that He can choose to heal or not to heal. In fact, Jesus Himself says that it is not always God's will to heal everyone (John 11:4). This means that we must trust in God's sovereignty and not try to manipulate Him into healing someone.

On the other hand, the Bible also teaches that faith is necessary for healing to occur. Jesus says, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7). This means that as believers, we must have faith in God's power and His willingness to heal. We must also pray with compassion and trust in God's goodness, asking Him to be glorified in the situation, whether He chooses to heal or not. This involves praying for God to be glorified in the situation, whether He chooses to heal or not, and also praying for the person to be healed, just as it is His secret will that not all will be saved.

In practical terms, this means that Christians should pray for healing, but also trust in God's sovereignty. We should not try to manipulate God into healing someone, but rather trust in His goodness and power. We should also remember that healing is not always physical, but can also be spiritual. We should pray for the person to be healed, and also for God to be glorified in the situation. This involves praying with compassion and trust in God's goodness, and trusting in His sovereignty over all creation. By doing so, we can trust that God will do what is best for the person, whether that means physical healing or spiritual healing.
