Through your own questions about why some people receive healing immediately while others continue to wait, you explore the possibility that God can do important work within seasons of suffering even when He is not the cause of that suffering. Difficult seasons can strengthen our faith, mature us, renew our minds, and form us in ways we may not recognize while we are going through them. We should continue praying persistently for healing and relief, but while we wait, we can trust God’s timing and ask Him what He may be doing within us. Instead of only asking, “When will this end?” we can also ask, “Lord, what are You doing in me while I am here?”\nMusic: \"Adding the Sun\" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) \nLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
