Would be interested to know:

Do you pray for healing?

What do you make of passages like John 14.9-14 and Matthew 21.21?

I find it difficult to ask for healing, in the kind of way that expectantly believes in faith that I will receive it, because I know that He’s given it to me to glorify His name.

Thoughts?

I started readng your blog before I officially became a “follower” and this post is what got me “hooked”. I grew up in a home affected by disabilities…my sister has Cerebral Palsy…and my husband and I have been called to go the “special needs” route in our adoption from China. This particular entry touched me deeply, and I actually posted a link on it to my blog back in November. One of my readers runs the “No Hands But Ours” website (http://www.nohandsbutours.com/) which advocates for the adoption of special needs children (particularly from China) and in turn she linked to this post on the “No Hands But Ours” blog. I just wanted to let you know that God has used your blog (and this post in particular) to touch the hearts and lives of many parents who have…or one day will have…a child with medical needs. Thank you.

Many Blessings,
Tara Anderson

“You Are Wonderfully Made”
Psalm 139:13-18
