I believe He can but not that He will but he might?
Our 4 year old daughter has epilepsy which is proving difficult to get under control. When she has one fit she will have at least 5 but the last few times it has been a cluster of 13. It is horrible for her and very disrupting to our family as Matt or I have to take days at a time off work to be with her till they stop. And when I dont work I dont get paid.
To top it off her behavior is out of control and we dont know what to do about it.
I lay awake till the wee hours of the morning thinking about this and about Gods ability to heal or not. I heard someone say the other day that you must have 100% faith to be healed. I dont believe that for a second. Trouble is I am not really sure what I do believe. I do believe that He can and does heal sickness. I just dont believe He necessarily will heal my Tilly even though I desperately want him to.
So instead I shall just continue to pray and try and trust in Him who know best

10. November 2008 | 14:03 hI dont understand either why we see so little healing. I pray that Papa does heal your Tilly.
Do we ever have 100% faith in anything? That seems to be a very human way of looking at things to me, but I rather suspect it to be more mustard seed sized. Still … I don’t know!! I join with you in wailing

10. November 2008 | 16:08 hI was going to say just exactly the same thing Sue said, then I read her comment and saw that she already said it. It’s not possible to have 100% faith in anything. Well I guess a person can be certain that 2+2=4, but as far as Jesus goes…I am 100% sure there is a God. Beyond that I don’t know much. I don’t either know why healing seems to be so rare but I can’t imagine having a child with an illness and I will pray for God to be real to you.

he sent some blog buddies around here to remind you of that
and in lieu of tangible God-sightings, we will walk with you in the shadow of unknowing
