When we say Gods plan for us is to be well physically & mentallly, what does that mean for people with longterm disabilities (physically & mentallly)?

Bit hard innit.
I say this bec. my mum has been disabled for basically my whole life & I remember once going to church and there was strong strong prayer for healing and at the end of the service I was fuming when she couldn’t walk because I thought prayer = healing.

Not right.
In my walk of faith, I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that God does what God *wants* to do *when* He wants to. Not because we bend His ear.

At least that’s what I think. Happy to discuss more.
So to end my rant. I’m gonna say let’s stop suggesting prayer = healing. Maybe sometimes, but not always.

Happy Sunday!
My theology could be completely off here, this is my lived experience x my understanding of faith.

Let me know if I’m wrong, I’m fine with that.
