Praying Through the Healing Process
There have been so many times that in my suffering my heart wandered from the Lord.
Why is it that in times of need, we tend to run from the One who can truly heal us?
I’ve feared that He won’t answer. I’ve felt abandoned and betrayed. I’ve tried to create hope for myself where hope was lost.
I’ve looked for a faster answer elsewhere and every time I came up empty, I returned to the Lord in the same broken place - in need of healing and hope.

And second, when God answers I can go back and remind myself of exactly what I prayed instead of wondering if I actually prayed for this answer, or was I just thinking about praying for it.
It’s so good to know that even when we wander away without what He wants to give us, He’s right there when we run back!

I love that you said you had to pray many times. I think in today’s instant world we get discouraged too quickly and give up. We must continue to press on and press in. Such a great reminder
I agree, Jen. That perseverance is key and so easily overlooked in today’s culture.
This is powerful! I totally agree that we try to plan out our way of a healing process… we want it to be QUICK! God has perfect plans though for His glory.
For sure! Thanks, Lindsey!
I love how you said: I had to accept that the healing process might not look like I’d envisioned. Powerful and mind-opening! Thank you so much for sharing your heart!
Thanks, Amanda!
I write down all my prayers too! So helpful and a great thing to have to be reminded of what God has done.
Definitely! Thanks for reading, Sarah!
