WHEN HEALING DOESN'T COME
“They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” — Mark 16:18
What do you do when, after praying, laying on hands, anointing with oil, fasting, and believing, you find yourself at the funeral?
Like me, many quietly wonder if they’re failing spiritually because they don’t see miraculous outcomes. After years of wrestling, contemplating and praying, here is where I have landed: Faith is not measured by results—it’s measured by obedience. If you’ve prayed for the sick in love, you walk in faith. Results are God’s responsibility. Jesus praised those who believed without seeing (John 20:29). Our faithfulness in the silence speaks volumes in heaven, even when nothing seems to shift on earth.
Sometimes, healing is immediate (Mark 1:31), sometimes gradual (Mark 8:22–25), sometimes it’s spiritual or emotional before it’s physical, and sometimes it will only be fulfilled fully in eternity, when every tear is wiped away (Revelation 21:4). God’s silence does not mean absence. His “no” may be a “not yet.” And His delays are never denials of His love; this is portrayed in his showing up late at Lazarus’s tomb (John 11:38-44).
