I believe in prayer for physical healing. You tell me you have cancer, I pray for complete healing. Jesus never turned anyone away. All who came to him for physical healing were restored completely. It is biblical to pray for healing. I understand that sometimes the physical healing does not come, but I still feel it is appropriate to petition the Father for it. I also believe that things happen when you pray that won't happen if you don't. Miracles of all kinds.
While, for reasons only understood by God (who I wisely give wide latitude to be God), some physical ailments are not healed, and some people are called home to heaven at a time that seems early to those with an earthly perspective, there is a certain kind of healing that is guaranteed to every believer.
I firmly believe that it is the absolute birthright (or re-birthright, as it were) of every believer in Jesus Christ to enjoy full, absolute emotional, spiritual and mental healing. A right mind is the product of the healing touch of Christ upon our flawed flesh in a fallen world. The peace that passes understanding comes from Him, and can radiate into all of our circumstances, transforming our daily lives and bathing us in a beautiful, whole and healthy pure light that all can see. When those of us who are prone to depression and anxiety return again and again to the well of comfort and wisdom in the Bible and the steadfast anchor of the presence of the Holy Spirit, we react with hope and faith to circumstances that used to make us crumble. We CAN enjoy our lives, despite what the enemy of our souls would have us to believe. Sometimes I fall back into the arms of God when something comes up to make me anxious, remembering that He is my heavenly Father, and I can trust Him to work out every detail. He is a protective, loving, caring, grace-filled (gives us what we haven't earned) parent whose love for us far surpasses anything our minds can understand. We can trust Him. "The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" (Proverbs 20:24, NLT)
