When God's Will Doesn't Include Healing - A Nighttime Prayer

“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” —James 5:14-15 (NKJV)

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father, I am so sorry that I always don't understand that Your ways are the best ways. Sometimes, in my human flesh, I would like to see outcomes, especially healing, to go the way that seems to make the most sense. But I don't see the big picture like you do. I am so thankful that Your ways are best and eventually I will better understand why things happen the way they do. I thank you for raising up people who care enough and will fervently pray for me on my behalf. Lord, help me to feel your unfailing love for me and deliver me to a deeper peace and patience for my life. In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.
