praying for a healing.

You know, I had lost faith in God over years of trials of life, but I am gonna Believe God for a Miracle for Healing from this dreadful disease.  I have been healed of asthma, a curved spine that was straightened and other things in my live and I know God still heals.

I guess part of being a Christian is the trials we have to go through, I try to remember how he suffered to set us free of sin. Our suffering on earth is very short compared to the eternity of peace and love.

We're human and not perfect....I don't get how one expects to be healed of everything.

Of course, healed doesn't necessarily mean physical....healed could also mean in accepting.

And sometimes God answers prayers by providing you the resources you need to learn how to take better care of your body and help yourself heal.

Not for me, I'm athiest!

:)

at the risk of pissing people off......

if you think "he" can heal you, then you would have to assume under that logic, that "he" gave you UC in the first place.

and if "he" gave it to you, why would "he" then take it away?

makes no sense to me.

lets see here... "he" is sitting up somewhere looking down and picking out people to give crappy diseases too. out of billions of people.... john can have cancer today, sue can have UC, mike can have MS, etc etc.... lets test em and see what they're made of... whatever.

i think its rubbish. and very contradicting. always an excuse.
but if it works for you, then more power to ya!

If prayer can help you feel better, which in turn puts your mind at peace, which in turn can cause positive effects on your body...cool.

I am not a religious person....I am more of the Science Channel type, so my beliefs do not involve prayer or worship of a being that has a gender.... However, I am not to judge the effectiveness of prayer as I have never tried it....

I feel that we will eventually have cures for a lot of diseases through our own experimentation and advances in technology, etc...if that can be related to answers to prayers, I wouldnt argue.

Please remember that this thread is bordering on violating this rule:

11. No posts of an overtly political or religious nature OR posts promoting advocacy of particular personal, medical, legal, religious, political, or non-profit causes. The forums are intended for offering mutual personal support. Debating controversial subjects should be taken elsewhere. Limited religious references are allowed (ie. "my prayers are with you" or a brief quote as part of a larger post), but the forums should not be used to convert others.

Kazygirl you sound confused. Please read JOB and see if that helps. People recomend reading dietary books so i don't see the problem with that. When I got sick I just opened the book and it was on JOB. I flipped to the beggining and read the whole chapter not knowing anything what it would be about.
I look back and believe this has been a blessing to me. It has humbled this once conceited guy. People just arent living right now-a-days and most people will have heartache, but why???
One of my personal prayers doesn't directly ask for healing it asks for an understanding of my body and clean air and water and nourishment...

It's everyone's right to choose their own higher power to believe in. On this forum, we give support to people from all walks of life, different countries, etc., and that's why we ask you to refrain from using religious beliefs on the forum. Please remember, we are a diverse world.

Personally I think this post should be locked asap, we already know from past experiances here that it will likely only get worse, I know I personally am offended at one poster calling another poster "confused" because the other poster doesn't believe....maybe that poster is the one that is confused for believing...I vote to have this post locked.
