To anyone else tired of being told to "just pray harder" for healing 😔

I've been dealing with a chronic health issue for years. It’s exhausting, but what’s worse is well-meaning church people subtly implying that if I just had "more faith," God would fix it. It makes me feel so defective. But I was reading 2 Corinthians 12 today. The Apostle Paul—the guy who literally raised the dead—had a severe "thorn in his flesh." He begged God three different times to take it away. God’s answer? A flat "No." God told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." God didn't withhold healing because Paul lacked faith; He left the weakness there to keep Paul grounded and relying on Him. If you are carrying a burden God hasn't lifted yet, you aren't doing faith wrong. Sometimes the limp is the exact place where His grace enters. #ChronicIllness #PaulsThorn #FaithInSuffering #GraceIsEnough #ToxicTheology

My God this was exactly what I thought what was happening to me I kept praying and calling out for healing in so much pain I read this scripture and I thought that's where I wanted me to be but in time his perfect timing he lifted it I was in pain for 5 months back and forth to doctors he was healing me all along you gotta have faith you gotta believe I was mad at him at times but I ask him to forgive I rejoined my old Church got back in my Bible and things started to turn around me without a doubt it was God

What I have learned in my 55 years being on earth is God is always there. He’s always with me. He’s with everybody. There’s people that think there is no God that they don’t remember. He gave his only son to us who got crucified and took on our Sims, but if you do not believe in his father God you’re not gonna be in the pearly gates God listens, but we’re on his time he knows all my troubles and health issues and he does answer my prayers again on his time so I wish people could understand how wonderful God is. I am very devoted and I love him very much through Jesus’s name amen.🙏🏼

I have an open wound on the bottom of my right foot. I've been praying about it since 12/23/24. The infection almost took my life a year ago on the 26th of this month. What I just read is so tied to my issue. I believe God sent this message to me.

If you want God to answer your prayers...You should be following his Word the Bible....Because those are his instructions to us all .💕If your religious leaders don't use God's Word the Bible..I wouldn't put my trust in them...🙏
