All they talk about at the moment is that we have the authority to pray for healing of the sick. They make out that we are either not praying correctly or do not believe properly.

But how can we be expected to get it right when God has a plan and He decides who to heal and who not too, when to heal them - instantly or in many years time or in heaven. And how much to heal them - totally or partically.

We can not make these decisions or change God's mind/agenda.
So we are bound to 'get it wrong'. This only sets us up for disappointment and hurt and sadness and unanswerable questions.

Why does it have to be so confusing? How many thorny branches to try to battle through each day? No matter how you try to work a route through the thorny branches, you will get cut and you will bleed.

There comes a point when you are covered in cuts and are bleeding and you cant see what is the other side of the branches - maybe there isnt anything anyway? Maybe there never was? What did you get told about the other side? Who said it? How do they know? Has anyone really seen the other side and come back to share it? I doubt it!! So why battle on? Why not just sit and take rest and decide this is as good as it gets and leave it at that???
