I have always been bothered by the implication in saying that God will heal anyone who prays for healing in the right way. It seems to blame to ill for their illness, and to confuse God's power with his will. The only way I can cope with 'the problem of pain,' with the particular current manifestation of it in my life, that is, that my mother is going blind, is by recourse to the wisdom of God. Surely he acts out of his love and his wisdom, and I cannot always expect to understand what better thing than bodily health he means to work in her. All I can do is trust him. Yours in Christ, Abigail
