Why is God not healing me? One of the biggest questions I get, may it be online, via our Prayer Request Page or personally, is “why God does is not heal me”. I don’t have the answer to that question and I doubt if anyone do, which is also what I normally answer everyone. What...

I have been receiving quite a lot of prayer requests and questions about whether we should consider the feelings of others when making life decisions.
