In JAMES 5:15, God promises us that a prayer offered in true faith will even make the sick person well. Let’s take that model of prayer and hold it up against the way we pray today. Most of us, being honest, pray something like this: ‘God I want you to make me well.’ And then in the back of our minds, we are saying, ‘I sure hope He does, but I don’t know if He will for me!’

Let me assure you once and for all: Jesus, the Great Physician is still in the miracle-making business, and if you go to Him in a truly fervent and believing prayer, He has already promised that He will answer! Why? Because He loves you and you have shown you trust Him enough to believe Him! But the answer will still be in His way and in His time.
