Praying For Faith :)

“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”-Mark 2:17

One way or another, we all need healing.  And Jesus came to Heal us ?.  But the question is, what type of Healing do we need the most:  Physical or Spiritual Healing?  When we need both, which one do we ask Jesus for?

In additions, there is a prayer card from Our Lady Of Lourdes.  It has a beautiful picture of Mary, Jesus’ Mother on the front and a prayer on the back.  In the prayer it says “where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal”.  Clearly Mary also knew how important spiritual Healing is too! ?

I can only share with you my personal experience.  I have CHF (Heart Failure), Lung disease, Asthma, Graves Disease, Ted (Graves Disease in your eyes), Hashimotos, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogrens and Orthostatic Hypotension. Now I see a Neurologist and need a brain MRI because I keep falling…And yet, I feel that nothing is more important than spiritual Healing.  Nothing.

I could ask Jesus to be Healed physically.  But consider this, Jesus will answer, but the answer may be “yes” or “no” or “not yet”. 

But if I ask God to give me faith, HIs Gift of faith will always carry me through any suffering and make that suffering lighter.  When we ask our Father for faith; His answer is always yes.  It may not happen in an instant, but it WILL happen.

There is another reason I consider a prayer for faith more important than a prayer for any physical healing.  Without Faith, no matter how physically healed we are, that healing will be worthless.  For without Faith in Jesus Christ, we have nothing here on earth and we will not enter Heaven.  In other words, without Faith, physical healing is worthless!

A word to those who are sick. Sometimes we can feel frustrated when we can’t physically do the things for others that we would like too, but we can pray for them! And there really is no better gift that we can give 🙂

Can we pray for both Faith & Physical Healing.  Sure!  But of the two, Faith is the more important prayer. For “With God, All Things Are Possible”.
