As always, thank you for making me think, making me ask questions, for which I often have no answer, and for helping me see things in a slightly different perspective.
I find that I often wait a few days to listen, just so I can concentrate and truly appreciate what you're saying.
I agree we are in dark times. So many are captured, possessed or at least drawn astray from the narrow path by many distractions.
As to the healing of others, it is good to try to be God's conduit, but sometimes the conduit is plugged, by our own distractions or the unwillingness of the recipient at the other end.
So maybe the doubt we are feeling when the change we pray for doesn't happen, is partly because we don't yet know what the other person truly needs, or maybe our impatience thinking it should all happen on our timeline, and not God's.
I struggle with this a lot. I have always been one to help, to fix, to repair, and who often gets frustrated when it doesn't happen how, or when, I "think" it should. Instead I should do my best, and trust that eventually God will set things straight, in his way, in his time frame.

But I will still try, without discouragement.
You did a great job breaking this down. Yes, we really need to have more faith, especially in these dark times. Thank you for your diligence.
Thank you Jeannette! Always appreciate your comments. :)
This was such a great explanation, and John summed it all up with his comment. I agree whole heartedly with what he said.
As always, looking forward to the next one 😊
